    I made an appointment through their online appointment system for 7/5/25 and even received a text and a call asking me to confirm the appointment which I did. But when I showed up to the office today, it was closed. The systems should be updated to confirm the dates they are actually open so patients don't waste time coming in on a day they aren't working.

    The ladies working at the reception desk are sweethearts. I had no choice but to bring my two toddlers and they were friendly and understanding. Compton makes great choices with the staff he chooses. I got glasses and will be back soon for my contacts! Definitely recommend Compton Eye!!!

    You know when a place's reviews are all 5-star and you wonder, "did they pay off their customers?" "Is something wrong with the Yelp filter?" Rest assured, the five star reviews for this optometrist are warranted. Came here because I was due for an eye exam as well as some new glasses. My insurance covered me for one pair, and I also bought another pair of designer frames separately on Amazon. As soon as I walked in, it almost felt like I was on 5th Avenue or something. The place just exudes style and professionalism. I was graciously greeted by the staff in the front. They accept various insurances, and there's a wide variety of frames that are covered. I then met Dr. Compton whom gave me my eye exam, and was very knowledgable and helpful throughout the process. When it came time to purchase frames, I didn't feel pressured to pay for add-ons like Crizal, etc....Unlike other optical places I've been to here in Inwood, I felt exceedingly comfortable at this place. On top of everything, they put lenses into the frames I bought outside their shop, and let me use their $75 for $100 Yelp deal to pay for them. Just overall, a wonderful experience where you don't feel pressured or like you're gonna get ripped off. I definitely recommend them, and they now have a lifelong customer in me.

    It took me two months of searching a variety of different locations before I found Westway, and I'd…read moredo it again to find such a wonderful, openminded, professional, friendly, and welcoming boutique shop. I was given no hassle when I arrived with a script in hand and only needing glasses. They were the only shop from my multi-month search that had even one pair I was willing to consider wearing for the next year, let alone the three I found. The prices are great. Even if you were paying out of pocket, Westway prices things reasonably. Their OOP price for the glasses (with lens treatment add-ons) I chose was equal to what I've paid at other places after all the insurance coverages and discounts were calculated. Oscar never once pressured me with an upsell to get a second pair of glasses or sunglasses, and he gave really solid recommendations after quickly catching on to my sense of style. And my finished glasses were ready in less than a week! As if that weren't enough, Oscar effortlessly passed the test I do every time I shop for glasses. I go to the women's section first. I wait for someone to redirect me to the men's section. I say something like, "You never know what you'll find...", and I await their response. Oscar's? "Ok!" And he chilled behind the counter until I was ready. Many thanks to the team at Westway for nurturing such an inclusive and safe medical and retail environment. Spread the word, consider bringing them your business, and help keep this gem serving customers for years and years to come.

    Friendly, and affordable. I called to make an appointment,…read moreI got one for the next day. I was out of there within 30 mins with a full exam, and bought a pair of glasses that will be delivered between, 6-10 days. No complaints here.

I found them by googling, and it worked out well because not only were they in my network, but they were in walking distance from me. However, I was still deciding on new contacts and new glasses when the quarantine began. Thankfully, they were still reachable and operating remotely on a limited basis. I was able to coordinate my one year supply of contacts with my rebate, and it was mailed to me out of state where I was quarantining with family. When they were back in office, they helped me coordinate my new glasses and also had them shipped to me out of state. I'm beyond satisfied with their professionalism and empathy! My contacts and glasses feel and fit wonderfully! I'd like to send a special thank you to Dr. Gross and especially Kim for their excellent work! :)

I could deal with staff being morose and allergic to smiling if it wasn't also accompanied by a general shadiness that leaves me demoralized and feeling taken advantage of. Nothing has a price on it and she won't show you anything without first asking, Well, how much are you looking to spend? She looks over the glasses and you can see the wheels in her head turning as she considers how much she is going to try and charge you. She'll then quote you a price, offer a discount and then conveniently forget the discount when it comes to time to ring you up. She will try and convince you every single lens treatment is a must have, even the ones like a filter for blue light the efficacy of which is very much open to debate. Getting a copy of your prescription is like getting a work permit from the French government (even though it's your right!). I get a more ethical vibe from street vendors! To top it off, the selection here is terrible. They cannot answer even the most basic questions about the benefits offered by your health plan. When you ask, 'Is there any way you could look that information up?' she emits a soul destroying sigh to protest you interrupting her sedentariness. There is just a general carelessness to everything they do. They try to send you out with your new glasses without a case for them. They don't call you when your glasses are ready. I called them and they told me the glasses had arrived three days earlier! They often make you wait unreasonably long for scheduled appointments. I had to wait for 30 minutes once to get frames adjusted because the optometrist wouldn't do it and the only other staff member was "running an errand". They sent me home once with the wrong prescription!
