The staff is friendly, and the optometrist is professional and helpful. They recommended a brand of contacts that was more affordable than what I had been using, and they replaced the lenses in my glasses without pushing me to buy new frames. They also take my insurance. This is the best place in Greenpoint for vision care. read more

I had a great experience here from start to finish. Dr. Luana Menezes is fantastic. Everyone on staff is so helpful and patient. It was my first time with progressives (+ transitions) and I was a little apprehensive. Luckily I chose Optical Warehouse - the prescription is flawless and I love my frames! I thought it would take awhile to get acclimated to the progressives, but it was shockingly seamless. They have some beautiful Saint Laurent and Celine frames, among other quality brands. Highly recommended. Thanks, Optical Warehouse! read more

I'm back in contacts and have new old man glasses. Thank you so much, it was a nightmare trying to get contacts outside of NYC. Unless its here or a place I have in the west it's a no. I been to Costco 6 times trying to get fixed for contacts and it was a no go. 6 times and paid about $170 to walk away with only a contact for my left eye, sad but true. I was over driving out to Elmhurst to see the Eye Doctor so I remembered this place and gave them a call. Optical Warehouse takes my insurance which was a first! I was super excited about that part. And I was able to get free glasses as well. I love this place and its its highly recommend by me. This location only Greenpoint, I never been to the other ones. Its so easy and simple here, I was fixed and they order a different sample for me but it get done fast. So hopefully by next week I will have contacts and new old man glasses, yes! read more

This place has the best customer service, which is hard to find in an optical place. They are professional and helpful and go above and beyond to make sure I have the contacts I need- whether I need last minute ones before a trip or have to try different ones for best fit. Their pricing is very fair and they don't try to upsell everything. Really glad I found them and I recommend them to all my friends. read more

the staff here are so nice and helpful! I've come in multiple times about glasses needed repairing and they fix them immediately and are so helpful! so happy to have this place in the neighborhood! read more

This has been the third time for us to visit this place and get glasses. We like this place. Not crazy amount of frame options so the teen boys, however we always find a style we absolutely love. Eye exams available. Easy. Great customer service. Genuine staff. Great internal operating system: SMS and e-mail follow ups, plus documentation forwarding availabe per request. read more

OMG RAVE! This place is so so so damn good. The staff is great and so good at what they do. And they are fast! I'm so glad I found them.

If you need quality glasses in a New York minute then this is the place for you! Yesterday I returned a pair of glasses to Warby Parker because they were too heavy but did not purchase a new frame because I had contacts. Later that night, as I'm removing my contacts, one jumps off my face and is flushed down the drain!!! Now I'm glasses-less AND contact-less. :'( I called them this morning, spoke to Julia. I came in this afternoon and had a cute pair of locally-made frames (Brooklyn Heights Eyewear) and loner lenses within an hour TOTAL! (And I tried on at least 10 frames!) They are honest, friendly, and professional here. Vlad honored their current Yelp deal. He & Julia made me feel comfortable and didn't rush me. I will be picking up my actual lenses with transitions AND anti-glare by tmrw evening. Thanks to Julia & Vlad I will be able to see today! This is why it's important to support local businesses. All in less than 24 hours - I highly recommend! read more

So glad I found this place. I've been getting my contacts here and coming in for annual eye exams for the past couple of years, and I've had nothing but good experiences. Both eye doctors I've seen have been incredibly friendly and the exams have been quick but thorough. I'm currently without insurance, and my most recent eye exam cost less than half of what I've paid elsewhere in Brooklyn. Everyone who works here is pleasant and helpful both over the phone and in person. Happy to give them my business! read more

If You need glasses or contact lenses it is the best place in Brooklyn!!! I go there for years and they are always professional and very helpful. Staff is very friendly, the girl who helped me, Ewelina explained me everything. Thank You read more

This place may not look as appealing in some ways, and they may not necessarily have all the fanciest & most costly frames, but they WIll provide you with great service at a reasonable price. My own situation is that my eyeglass prescription is difficult to fit properly. But the caring & competent optometrists here take the time to perform a thorough eye exam, as well as explaining any issues that may arise. They are excellent. In addition the staff that helps you choose eyeglass frames never tries to push you into buying something pricy, or something you don't need. They offer many sturdy frames at very competitive prices, with more economic alternatives available as well. Without insurance I paid $299 for a titanium pair of frames, lens and eye exam - and in addition I added $25 for a one year replacement warranty in case of breakage. Ready in only 2 days! The bottom line is that the people here are friendly, helpful and competent --and they work hard to achieve customer satisfaction. They offer & fit soft contacts as well, as well as glasses, but not hard contacts. The office is conveniently located near the Nassau Ave G train stop, as well various buses. read more

I was a regular customer . I have been going there for years and spent thousands of dollars in this store. Recently I needed to do a new Frame that was rimless for a one day event at work. I got my frame and new lenses for not cheap, around $250. I came back few days later after I called asking about their return policy because I was unhappy with the frame being too small for my face and making me dizzy. On the phone they said I could have store credit so I went to the store and was very rudely welcomed by the manager who accused me of returning the glasses after I used them for my work event and didn't need them any longer. An accusation that was untrue. One I did not take lightly since my work event is at the end of the month. I was talked to very inappropiately and asked to lower my voice if I wanted him to return my glasses insisting on his accusation and not allowing me to respond! The assistants in the store ganged up on me saying I took the glasses after I tried them , also accusing me of the same!! Unacceptable and this is definitely not a way to treat a regular customer or any customer as a matter of fact. I usually don not write reviews but I do not recommend this store. Rude and insulting. read more

Save yourself a horrible experience and take your business elsewhere. I explained I needed the plastic nose piece on my glasses repaired, and that the frames needed to be slightly adjusted. The girl behind the counter couldn't have given me a stronger look of either annoyance or disgust, and proceeded to charge me $5 for a repair that took 45 seconds. She quickly placed them on the counter in front of me and gave me the same look of annoyance without saying a word. She hadn't adjusted the frames and there was now some crusty material on the lens. I asked if she could please adjust the frames too, and she said: "It's not my problem if they break." I gave her permission to maybe break my glasses, she fiddled with them, and handed them back in the same condition. I put them on my face and asked if they were straight. She replied, "No, and there's nothing else I can do." I paid my $5 and left. What a shitty experience. read more

I came here for an eye exam and contact fitting after 1-800-contacts realized my prescription was years old and refused to let me re-order. The shop is deep in Greenpoint. I sometimes find the reception chilly when I, an obviously non-Polish person, enters establishments in Greenpoint. This was not the case here. The women working in the front were very sweet and friendly. The eye doctor was GREAT! I forget his name, but he was a young Williamsburg/hipster type. He gave me a thorough exam and corrected the crap prescription that I had been wearing for years. He accurately diagnosed my astigmatism and gave me frank advice about daily versus monthly contacts. The best thing was they gave me lots of sample contacts to try so I could make sure I liked the new contacts and the new prescription I didn't get glasses, but the selection of frames was good and the prices seemed reasonable. No complaints. read more

Dr Menezes and staff are AMAZING. They made me feel welcomed and are extremely kind. I tried not to show my anxiety, it's been awhile(last time I saw the eye dr was in 2001). They answered all my silly questions without judgement. I arrived an hr early, they saw me as quick as I arrived and didn't take long to get a perception. The staff helped me pick out a pair that suited my face shaped. I'm super happy! Thanks for the great experience! read more

I've been going to these guys for at least two years, usually for contacts and necessary exams. I decided not too long ago to get some new glasses because my frames were super dorky. I had my exam, picked out some awesome frames and everything was very easy and I loved what I got. Jump to yesterday when my frames broke. I was so sad. I walked to the shop today and they had the frame in stock. They popped in my lenses and I asked what I owed. The response: NOTHING! I asked why and was told because they believe in customer service. Well, they've got another one for life:) read more

I've had an exam and gotten specs here a few months back, and I was very pleased about the exceptional service. I only wish they took my insurance! Great to have them in the neighborhood. read more

I had a really great experience getting my new glasses here! Not only do they have a great selection of frames, but they are super helpful and nice! I only had a prescription for contacts, but they sat me down with the doctor right away and got it translated for glasses. the ended up being a bit wonky when i got them in (not their fault, i was in a hurry and answered some of the "#1 or #2?" questions without thinking). they had new lenses for me the next day! I overheard while i was in there that they are going to be doing some renovations soon to make the store bigger. I can't wait to see how it comes out! read more

I spent couple of hours choosing from a big selection of frames for me and my child. Very friendly and helpful people. They were able to answer all my questions. Highly recommended place for all ages and budget. I will definitely come back to them read more

Always a pleasant experience, staff is wonderful, friendly and super helpful. The owners are great and always give good prices to their clients and Dr. Luana is the absolute best, personable and explains everything perfectly. By far the best place to get your eyes checked and get super cute frames. read more

A good friend of mine recommended Optical Warehouse Outlet, and despite a short subway ride away from me, I decided to give it a go. I wear contacts, and therefore find myself in an optical store pretty often; and the truth is its really hard to find a decent one - I'm not even talking about a good one. It's hard to find one that gives a damn about their customers. Optical Warehouse isn't good or even decent - its excellent. No BS - I'm thrilled with the level of service and attention they offer. The doctor is willing to take the time to make sure your prescription is perfect, and to explain all the possible options for contact, glasses, and shares relevant advice on keeping your eyes healthy. They helped me with a new prescription (I can finally see normally), picked out better contacts, and new glasses. The selection is wonderful - I'm sure anyone can find something that's perfect for them. And their orders come in quick, you don't have to wait to see better. In summary - check this place out, I guarantee - its a keeper. read more

Hello Greenpoint! What a great place for customers. Wioleta who took care of me was as good as it gets! She is patient, kind, offers a great selection of frames, all geared to your specific needs. No pressure to buy and offered a broadly priced selection of frames. Also offered my solicited advice on the choices I liked. Note for those with insurance(me) she called them and came back with the forms to work with. That has never happened before to me. The store is stocked with about every designer name, including some very high end lines. When all was said and done, I was delighted with the service and the price was really great. BTW they have a wall of $30 frames, not crappy at all! Summing up, Goodbye Manhattan, my business has moved to Greenpoint! Treat yourself and go check them out. read more

The doctor and his staff were very charismatic and friendly. I was able to get an exam during my lunch break at work with no problems, and they were so nice when I told them that I forgot my wallet at home. The prices are so much better here than when I got an exam in Manhattan a few years back. I'd recommend this place to anyone. read more

I was in need of a glasses refresh (plus had 13 days to spend my FSA) and decided to try this place out. Really happy I did; I had two pairs of designer frame glasses made for what it would cost to get one at Oliver Peoples, and they came out beautifully. I was given an eye exam on a walk in basis (!), and they offered to rush the glasses to me; I let them know no need at all and they still returned them in under two weeks over the Covid holiday season. The glasses came with a bunch of benefits like free repairs, a free follow up exam, a voucher towards a future purchase and other stuff. They have a lot of cute designer frames and also some more affordable and still very cute options, as well as a lot of sunglasses. A nice lady in the store helped me pick out frames and was super patient (I like to try on a lot). Everyone who worked there was really cool, they were transparent about pricing, and they were just so accommodating and professional. This is the type of place that makes me excited to shop local. read more

I really like this place,i have had 4 different pairs of glasses here and never a problem they even took two different insurance vouchers. It's an old school Polish business and been in GP for years ,don't look for any frills ,make an appointment for an exam and you'll be fine. decent array of glasses ,nothing fancy & I will use them again. I do not know if there are any pokestops nearby BUT it is Greenpoint. read more

Support local businesses! Best place in Brooklyn to get yours eyes checked and get new glasses! Honest and friendly staff!

I went there this morning, the staff was helpful, and they were very direct helping me picking the frame, which I liked. I then had the exe exam, and this was the best doctor ever! He was nice, explained everything, and gave me tips on how to care for my eyes. I have been wearing glasses for 20 years, and this was the best experience I ever had. Last but not least, the same frame was 100 dollars cheaper then at Greenpoint eyecare, just a few block away. May be they changed management, but this is a great place. read more

These people are just wonderful. They have a treasure trove of phenomenal eyewear. The owners are long time Greenpointers and simply lovely. The optometrist is the best I've seen in decades. I couldn't recommend this place highly enough!!! read more

I came in yesterday with an emergency problem with my glasses, which I had purchased in LA. Optical Warehouse Outlet took care of me right away and saved my trip. read more

Go Somewhere else. Visited the place in June to figure out what my insurance will cover. The lady behind the desk quoted me a price of 800 after my insurance coverage, even though the same pair of glasses with lenses would set me back 200 from Lenscrafters. Said thank you and left. Four months later, I found out that they put in a claim on my insurance without offering any services or even letting me know. Accidentally called another place on Manhattan avenue to resolve the situation. They stated that they get calls from Optical Warehouse customers all the time for a similar issue. Apparently this is their standard mode of operations. The women behind the counter are rude and couldn't care less. Finally, I had to call my insurance provider and explain the fraudulent claim in order to get it off my benefits plan so I could use my insurance again. read more

Bought a really expensive pair of sunglasses here... i ending up not liking and never wearing them... Directly on the receipt it says "No Returns! Store Credit Only" So when I brought them in for store credit, they flat out refused. read more

Who says men don't make passes at girls who wear glasses? ;) Okay, cheesy quote, but I couldn't help it... I walked out of Optical Warehouse Outlet feeling like a million bucks! With their assistance, I found the perfect pair of glasses to compliment me on the day to day. Since I've yet to make a regular switch to contact lenses, finding the right frames for my face is absolutely essential. Optical Warehouse has a huge collection of styles in store (and the sales staff was extremely patient as I tried on half of the selection.) The staff on-site helped me find the perfect set to fit my individual facial structure. The optician and staff catered to my every need. Oh and can you say fantastic deals?! Check out their Yelp discount to start. Love my new glasses and I was pleasantly surprised by the final price tag. read more

The optometrist I saw here (whose name I am very embarrassed to admit I forgot) is wonderful. I have been suffering with an excessively watery eye for years, and she fixed it! It was an unpleasant procedure (she had to unblock a tear duct) but it didn't really hurt and she made me as comfortable as possible. I have a normal eye again, and it's a huge relief! I can't believe no other eye doctor suggested this before. Even better, they worked with me to optimize my really crappy insurance, and didn't charge me at all for follow up appointments. What a wonderful business to have in the neighborhood. I highly recommend! read more

Worst place ever and rude. They sold me frames that have broken 3 times already, even though they told me that the frames are one of the strongest. When they were fixing my glasses last time they even scratched my lenses and denied it. Will never go there again. read more

I was looking for a good pair of ray bends eye glasses. I didnt want to go to manhattan because i knew i would be paying a lot less if i shopped in brooklyn. when i walked in to optical warehouse i was greeted by a very friendly sales person. he showed me all the frames that would fit me and i was very happy with the price i was quoted. great glasses read more

I wanted to give the place a 5 star. First I walked in and asked if someone could take a look at a pair of sunglasses that I had bought elsewhere. They said that they would fix it - one of the lease fell out due to a loose or broken screw. While I was there, I tried on some sunglasses and they had a decent selection but not a lot. I ended up purchasing a pair of Jimmy Choos and had received 30% off. After a couple of hours, I received a phone call saying my original sunglasses had been repaired and I could come by. I did also in that time found out that my Jimmy Choos were priced much lower by $100 from other online stores. I went back and asked if they could match the pricing and I wasn't treated with the same tone as I had during my first visit. First Visit - the manager said "sure why not it's Friday 30% off!" and second visit - "no we cannot give you matched price because it could just be a fake picture on someone's website who lives in a basement at his parents house and if we do take your glasses back, we'd have to charge you a 25% restocking fee". It was a bad attitude from the manager and this is why the 2 stars. I felt bad for the original sales lady who helped me. She was wonderful and sweet and I could tell by her expression that she felt bad for me and thought her boss was talking to me like a jerk. Oh and no refunds. No one emphasized that to me. It's in fine print at the bottom of the receipt. So bottom line, they are nice to you. Manager will be nice if he's trying to sell you something but has illogical thinking. All the ladies there seemed really nice. I'd go elsewhere from now on. read more

Great and helpful staff that are honest and do their best to help even the pickiest customer like me. Prices are a lot lower than some of the other places I visited. Also a great selection of prescription frames as well as sunglasses. This store is definitely on the list of my favorites!!! Highly Recommend!!! A++++!!! read more

Wonderful experience getting glasses for my sister. Sales staff was excellent. Selection was more than i expected and prices were really great for my budget. I left a very happy customer! read more

It's never a dull day with my chinky eyes. Something always flys in it. Pick out my new frames following week.

This place was very efficient and friendly. I broke my glasses and had to find a place to get an exam and glasses quickly and they were able to help me get everything done within a half day. i wanted to go to a local business and found that it was just as fast if not quicker than Lenscrafters and the people were very nice. Not sure why they got negative reviews, I would definitely go back. The prices were reasonable and service was fast. read more
