Optyx - Wheatley Plaza - I was told by the optometrist that these frames would be just fine for the multifocal readers. They are too short to even see the readers.

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.

I did purchase a set of new glasses and the lenses alone are close to $1,000, same what I had paid for my earlier set. I am over 65 years old and have been wearing eyeglasses since my childhood. This was the first time I was asked if I wore my glasses everyday and outdoors! For a long term client, pearl vision should have been more accommodative since I believe the lenses were defective. At least they should have offered a discount for the second pair which I wanted to purchase today which they declined. Customer satisfaction should not be taken for granted. Takes years to build and less than two interactions to lose a client.

I recently purchased two pairs of glasses from Roslyn Eye Centre and couldn't be happier with the experience. Kevin was incredibly helpful--professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely focused on making sure I found the right frames. The glasses turned out great, and the whole process was smooth and enjoyable. Kevin actually helped me buy my very first pair of glasses years ago, and when I recently needed new ones, I knew exactly who to go to. I made a point to visit him while I was in town--and it was well worth it. He made the entire process seamless, including having the glasses shipped to me afterward since I no longer live in the area. He consistently kept me updated on timing, shipping, and followed up once they were delivered to make sure everything was perfect. That level of care and communication is rare and truly appreciated. Kevin is a true asset to Roslyn Eye Centre and provides outstanding service. I highly recommend asking for him if you're shopping for new glasses. read more

The Roslyn Eye Centre staff is phenomenal! The moment you enter the store, you are promptly attended to by a member of the team. This facility has great service for eye issues. There is usually a doctor who can see you on the spot or very soon. I left my old optical spot because of lack of care for me when I had dire eye issues. I have no problem spending big money here for glasses because they work with you and help you create that magical pair of frames to your liking. Please shop here and I see why they have been in business for such a long time! Shout out to Marta, Gary, Barbara, and all the great doctors who are all ready to help you! read more

I want to thank the Roslyn Eye Center for sending me replacement glasses when my glasses broke in Florida. That was a life saver. When I returned to New York, Gary and Mark adjusted my glasses to ensure that they fit correctly and the prescription worked properly. My husband and I have been customers of the Roslyn Eye Center for over fifteen years. It is wonderful to know that we can count on the Roslyn Eye Center and its reliable, trustworthy, and highly skilled optometrists especially in these scary pandemic times. Carol read more

The selection of eyeglasses are limited to pricier designer frames, but upon inquiring, I was told that they have affordable (read: frames covered by insurance) available upon request, it just hasn't been put up on display yet. Plus, it was nice to see there were some refreshments and a clean bathroom available while we waited. Most importantly, this store was CLEAN-- there ample hand-sani at the ready, plus signs they clean their display frames between customers. Once the initial paperwork was done, the rest of our service was expedient. We were taken to a room for pre-testing, and then soon after met with the doctor. He answered all our questions, and never pressured us into buying lenses/frames. While this is a smaller store, the doctor has another office in NJ where he can check his inventory should there be something specific you want. Hope this location does well, it's good to have options other than large chain optical stores.
