I met Mark and he was professional, friendly, kind and experienced. He gladly took it in even though I didn't buy the frames from him to make the necessary fitting adjustments and came back out in a few minutes completing the task at no charge. It was a very pleasant visit and I will be coming back soon for my next pair of glasses to purchase from him. Highly recommended!

When his shop relocated from Howard Beach, there was no doubt that we'd follow to his new location! His customer service is exceptional and if there's any dissatisfaction, he does his utmost to make the customer happy. We've probably ordered over 10 pairs of glasses through Mark and his team over the last 15 years. The turn around time is exceptional - I don't think we've ever waited more than a few days for our new glasses. He has also fixed a few pairs for us, even if they were not purchased there or if we purchased them years ago. AND he has also been known to hand deliver them in a pinch - truly the best. If you need optical services, stylish daily frames or sunnies, or optical advice from the best in the business, definitely stop by. I would suggest calling Mark before stopping by because Covid has everything out of sync - but with the minuscule chance that you miss him, he always returns your call promptly :)

Google Review: Good Looks Optometry - Covert Ave, Garden City, NY…read more to a better vision! Good Looks Optometry has quickly become my go-to spot for eye care. After a disappointing experience elsewhere that left me feeling blind-sided, meeting Dr. Meghan Riegel was like finally seeing the world in high definition. From the moment I sat down, she showed a level of professionalism, patience, and warmth that instantly put me at ease. Dr. Riegel took the time to explain every step of the exam, making sure I understood what was happening and why. She was thorough yet approachable, never rushing, and always encouraging me to ask questions. Her answers were honest, concise, and informative, which made me feel confident about the decisions I was making for my eye health. It's rare to find a doctor who balances technical expertise with genuine care, but she does it seamlessly. The experience didn't stop there. Enter Nancy--the heart and soul of this place. She's like the Angela Lansbury of eyewear, with an endless arsenal of frames and a smile that makes the process fun. She was patient as I tried on pair after pair, offering honest feedback until I found the perfect fit. Her kindness and humor made what could have been a stressful process feel like a celebration. Between Dr. Riegel's cutting-edge gadgets and tech, Nancy's warmth, and the overall welcoming vibe, this is more than just an optometry office--it's an eye-popping experience. Parking is easy, and the location right off Covert makes it convenient. I've already started recommending Good Looks Optometry to my clients, family, and friends. If you want clarity, confidence, and care, this is the place.

It was a Sunday and I needed new glasses before going away in a couple of days. One might assume…read morethat something like optical stores that cater to consumers, would be open on a Sunday. Many are not. And many also have so all kinds of arbitrary "rules" that make getting a basic pair of glasses so much grief. For example, some do not have walk-in appointments and take days before they can accommodate you. Others will not read your prescription off of existing glasses, as used to be quite common. I went to EconoVision, a very nice shop on Long Beach road and met owner Joseph Pacht. A TOTALLY CHARMING man in a jacket and tie. Totally old school and polite. They were open, no appointment was needed. And while they did not have an eye doctor, as theirs of many years recently retired, they would have a new one next month. Regardless, they were perfectly willing to read the prescription off an existing pair of lenses. Joseph pointed out their frames on sale for $99. The selection, while not huge, was more than adequate as many were very nice. So nice in fact, that I picked out two frames and asked how much the actual lenses would cost on top. To my happy surprise, the lenses and frames were BOTH included in that $99 price! What a throw-back! There was no upsell, and no pressure. The glasses were both ready in under an hour! This was the nicest and easiest purchasing experience I have had in a long time. It's the way things used to be, and I wish still was. That sort of kindness and service is unfortunately rare today. I totally recommend this shop. Thank you Joseph!

Very disappointed -- both with the quality of the eyewear and the attitude toward patients on…read moreMedicare I have worn glasses since I was a child and am extremely nearsighted, so my glasses are something I depend on every single day. In all my years of wearing glasses, I have never had a pair simply snap at the arm from being picked up normally. Unfortunately, that is exactly what happened with the pair I purchased here only about a year and a half ago. When I called the office about what happened, I was told that the glasses were already a year and a half old, as though that were a reasonable lifespan for prescription eyeglasses. I was also told that Medicare "basically gave" me the glasses and that they were free in a way. I found that comment extremely condescending. Yes, Medicare provided coverage, but these were not simply "free glasses" that I was handed. I paid additional money out of pocket for the glasses and lenses, and more importantly, I am a paying patient who deserves to receive a quality product and be treated with respect. Being on Medicare or having a fixed income should not somehow lower the standard of what is considered acceptable. I was told I could come into the office and they would "see what they could do," but I was also reminded that things cost money and aren't free. I understand that businesses have costs. I wasn't asking for something for nothing. I was asking whether an optical office would stand behind a pair of prescription glasses that failed after only 18 months under what appears to have been completely normal use. What makes this particularly frustrating is that this is not the first time my family has had an issue with the quality of eyewear purchased here. About a year ago, my daughter's glasses purchased through this office also broke easily. In her case, she was NOT using Medicare. Her glasses were covered through a union insurance plan through her father, so this wasn't an issue of Medicare providing some supposedly inferior or no-cost eyewear. An optician at another office examined the glasses and told us they appeared to be defective. My mother ultimately had to pay out of pocket to have the replacement glasses made elsewhere. So I now have two separate experiences involving glasses purchased through this office that have failed prematurely. In my daughter's case, another optician actually identified the frame as appearing defective. That makes it very difficult for me to simply chalk my current experience up to bad luck. This is especially disappointing because this office is located in an affluent area and appears to specialize in higher-end and designer eyewear. I initially chose them because they accepted my insurance and had numerous positive reviews talking about how nice and accommodating they were. I expected that same level of customer service regardless of what type of insurance a patient carries. Instead, when I called about my broken glasses, the emphasis seemed to be on the fact that Medicare had paid for them and that they were already a year and a half old. I don't think 18 months should automatically be considered an acceptable lifespan for prescription eyeglasses, particularly when the frame broke from ordinary handling and there was no apparent misuse. I am not expecting an expensive designer frame for nothing, nor am I expecting a business to replace every pair of glasses indefinitely. I am expecting reasonable quality, reasonable durability, and a reasonable response when a product fails. What bothered me most was not simply that the glasses broke. Things can break. It was the attitude I encountered when I brought the problem to their attention. The implication that because Medicare covered the glasses they were somehow "free," and therefore perhaps not something I should expect much from, was extremely off-putting. People on Medicare and people living on fixed incomes still deserve quality products and professional, respectful treatment. Insurance coverage should determine how a patient pays--not how much consideration or quality they receive. After these two experiences, I have serious reservations about the quality of the frames being sold here and about the customer service provided when something goes wrong. Unfortunately, I won't be purchasing eyewear here again.

He advises you on which frames to choose that are conducive to your prescription, face shape and size. I recently needed a new frame for my reading glasses.

He hunted high and low for weeks and found me about 5 or 6 that would work. He said that this order was the hardest one he has ever tackled.

The WORST experience. The unprofessional front end staff was the start. They do a lot of socializing in front of patients, eating chips at the front desk, loud and just not a professional office setting. Then one of the staff members comes out to call the patient in he is texting on his phone. Then a staff member calls me in to do the initial screening, I asked him if he had my records because I have a certain lens in my eye. He told me he doesn't think they still have my records, but he said I've only been here five months so he is not sure. Well, that doesn't make me feel great that the person who did most of my testing has only been there five months. Meanwhile, still joking around with other staff members. It was unfortunate that with my insurance which is widely usedI was told only one doctor accepted. I didn't feel like he spent any amount of time examining my eyes. He just reiterated what I told him already that I have dry eyes. Within not even 10 minutes of leaving the office I get an email that I have another appointment scheduled for a week from then. I called back, but the woman told me that office already closed which I find hard to believe because the office was packed when I left. So I'm not sure if I was reaching a switchboard somewhere else. With numerous numerous texts, reminding me of this appointment that I did not make, nor did I need I was unable to cancel this appointment, even though I had canceled many times when receiving the texts. I continued to get phone messages I tried calling the office three times on Monday morning where the woman told me just ignore it. It was canceled again to be followed up by another phone call, reminding me I had an appointment. How can I trust this office with my eyes if I can't even trust the office with basic reception duties. It's sad because Stahl Eye Center was a team that I felt confident with my eye care needs.
