They have a great selection of frames, but that takes a backseat to the service. A client doesn't have to agonize over possibilities. In my case, Ira, the owner, brought out a small group of frames he thought were right for me. I chose one of them and have received compliments from friends and strangers alike. That's never happened to me before. read more

Great, personal customer service. Very reasonable pricing for the quality you get in return.

The best! Beautiful frames. Highest quality lenses. Extraordinary service. Have been getting alll of my eyeglasses from them for at least 15 years. read more

10 stars from a long time customer in West Virginia!! Excellent, prompt, patient, personal, customized service with a dash of humor thrown in! Ira and Silvia couldn't have been more helpful, and my optical needs are sometimes a bit high maintenance. The selection was terrific and my frames have had an unexpectedly long lifespan. Nothing but raves from me. read more

This boutique is AMAZING! No more searching for frames, they analyze your face and find a frame that is specific for your frame, facial shape, eye color and hair color. Susan hooked me up with some amazing eyeglass frames that I LOVE! She was so patient with me, and selected the frames that best fit my face. The turn around time to get my lenses was so quick as well - only took a couple of days! I highly recommend them!!!! read more

Occhiali New York - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - New York, New York

Last time I had an eye exam, I kicked and scream for a year because lenscrafters(the place next door to) had given me the wrong fit for my contacts, and my eyes hurt all the time. This year, I decided that I would go all out when it came to my eye exam. I found 'Occhiali' while walking to work one day, and the glasses in the window display were so stunning that I decided to schedule an eye exam. Being a client on the Upper East Side has its advantages. Even if you don't have money, there's a certain level of customer service that you don't find elsewhere(the really high end stores are a different story). The eye exams are scheduled on Saturdays. The doctor spent a great deal of time figuring out my exact prescription, and fitted my contacts with unprecedented accuracy. Everyone there was kind, and seemed genuinely nice - yet upheld a certain level of professionalism that I hadn't seen before, and very much enjoyed. The final cost of exam: $150. But worth every penny. read more

For full service aficionados, this might be your cup of tea. If I had a different sales associate, perhaps it might have been mine as well. There is no browsing--everything is hidden in solid wood drawers around the store and is brought to you by the sales associate. When I was asked what I was looking for, I mentioned fun, unusual, and cited Anne et Valentine as a particular brand favorite (I had actually found Occhiali through Anne et Valentine's website vendor listing). I'm not quite sure what in my verbal description or manner of dress (I was wearing thick-rimmed canary yellow glasses) inspired the stream of rectangular dentist-appropriate glasses I was brought, but every attempt at redirection brought more of the same. I did not get to see any Anne et Valentine frames. I left frustrated, but managed to spend the remnants of my flexible health spending dollars a couple blocks away at Henry Miller Opticians and Visionary Optics. When I'm in a jam to spend down a ton of money in my FSA account next year, I'll head straight there instead. read more

Service was good. Nothing more and nothing less. The other reviews are spot on in that the receptionist LOVES to throw shade. You're definitely not getting greeted with a smile or a humorous weather conversation. The doctors are much more personable but it doesn't stop them from charging you top dollar for their services. I tried playing cool when I heard the final quote on my frames but slightly shit myself. Save your money and go to one of the numerous eye doctors in the area for your frames. read more

I have been to this place several times before. I should say that the doctor is friendly and the overall experience is not bad. However, since all people there are partners, even the receoptionist sometimes could be rude. They tried to hide you the key information so that they can earn more, e.g. the health insurance. Thay also won't notify you to keep the reciept to get allowance from your insurance co. unless you ask them. read more

I have been wearing glasses for over 20 years, In that time I have gone to several stores to pick frames and get the prescribed lenses. For the most part, these experiences have been a struggle to get both great customer service from knowledgeable staff , and find a store with staff who knew how to service RIMLESS frames with PROGRESSIVE LENSES. Occhiali is FABULOUS! I recommend their rimless selection AND THEY KNOW HOW TO CREATE FABULOUS CUSTOMER SERVICE! Both Ira the proprietor and Silvia are to be trusted with your business. And the Store's interior design is comfortable and sophisticated. I am a very happy customer! read more

I had the opportunity to shop at this sophisticated, well-appointed, urbane, yet beautiful store today. I was taken care of by a charming, knowledgable, very customer-centric gentleman, Ira. They had the exact frames that I was looking for. Ira spent a lot of time measuring my face and eyes to be certain that the glasses I purchased would fit me and work well for my vision enhancement. This store was a thumbs-up experience and I highly recommend it. read more

Really great service and great people. Met Ira and Silvia. They are a pleasure to talk to, carry a great assortment of high quality frames and are knowledgeable about their craft with really caring personalized attention to your needs and taste/style preferences. I bought a pair of Mykita frames and a pair of Blake Kuwaharas . Their Rx filling was top quality too! Strongest recommendation. As soon as the quarantine period ends I'll be back scouting out my next pair! read more

I walked out of Occhiali with the best glasses I have ever owned! What's even more impressive is the fact that they were the very first pair that the sales attendant/ owner picked out for me - she literally nailed it on the first try! Nevertheless she pulled a wide area of other interesting options so I wasn't at all pressured to go with the first option. Also, they were ready in A DAY! I love my glasses so much that I rarely wear my contacts! Be aware, however, that the glasses were a SERIOUS investment - the frames themselves were around $400! If you're willing to invest the $$, Occhiali will find you the perfect pair of glasses. read more

This place is, by far,,the best optician in NYC!!! There are no employees, only owners,,which makes a world of difference. Top notch service and huge selection of glasses to choose from, They are all in drawers,,but the time they take to find the right fit for you is outstanding,,,,i tried on several frames,,,and ended up with a great pair of glasses that is stylish and really fits my face perfectly. So,,for anyone who has had negative experiences in the past,,check this place out....you will never need to go elsewhere. Thank you Susan and Ira,,for your patience and attention. read more

I have bought two pairs of eye glasses at Occhiali, and have nothing but wonderful things to say about this shop! The quality of the glasses is phenomenal, and I could not have asked for better service. Choosing frames has always been difficult for me, but with help from Susan, Ira, and Marshall, I have ended up with beautiful, stylish frames that also are a perfect fit for my face! A+! read more

I am an optometrist who used to work in NYC and had the pleasure of working with Ira, Susan, and Marshall in the past. They are by far some of the most knowledgeable opticians in the country! I practice in California now but any time a friend of mine asks for recommendations in the east coast, I always recommend Occhiali. They know how to take care of you. read more

Great, professional service and beautiful eye wear brands. They know their stuff, even the store itself is a treat to experience.

I am so happy Issac is joining this shop. He has helped me select glasses forever, he is the best. Anxious to visit new store! Polly Naples read more

After going to numerous optician/eyeglass stores that offered the same cookie cutter frames, I was pretty close to giving up on finding a perfect pair. I almost walked by this little shop. Luckily, my fiance convinced me that I had nothing to lose at this point. I was so glad I walked in! Occhiali has a very unique approach to eyewear. Rather than confusing the customer with an array of frames on the walls, Ira and Marshall conducted a brief consultation with me to find out what I was looking for in a pair of frames. Within a minute or so, Ira brought out frames that suited the shape of my eyes and face in styles from conservative to fashion foward. Ira and Marshall answered every question I had and were very patient and friendly. Although I had only planned on buying one pair, I ended up purchasing 3 - with no regrets! I constantly get compliments on all my frames from complete strangers and friends alike. I highly recommend this place. The eyewear, service and expertise are definitely worth it. read more

Occhiali is a small, intimate store that truly caters to the client! I went in and needed my glasses 5 hours later (with prescription) as i was leaving on vacation! NOt only did the have them ready, they delivered to my house! they are honest (will tell you if something doesn't look good) and have a great price range! if you are shopping in nyc for eyewear, this is a DO NOT MISS! read more

The owners are great (especially Ira) and very attentive. They spend a ton of time helping you pick out a great set of eyewear. Best of all the frames they sell are unique and are great looking! I just bought my third pair this week. Definitely worth checking out! read more

I went in here for the first time about 3 weeks ago. I just got a new Rx from my doctor and wanted to get new lenses put into my existing frames. The staff was extremely helpful and they were even able to get them made for me in the same day! I picked up the glasses that afternoon and brought them home. After about a week of discomfort and blurry vision, I went back to the store to see if there was a mistake. They rechecked my glasses and suggested that I go back to my eye doctor because they think the doctor made a mistake on the Rx. It turns out that my eye doctor completely messed up my Rx. The eye Doctor sent me on my way with a corrected Rx and I returned to Occhiali. I fully expected to have to pay another $200 + for my new lenses, but they did it free of charge. The outstanding customer service and personal attention I received is the reason that I'm now a customer for life! read more

the only thing better than their world class choice in eyewear, is the stellar qualities of the owner/operators!
