I've been going to Joe, the owner of this entity for 34 years. He has the best selection in eyewear. Ilissa is very knowledgeable and always suggests the most flattering eyeglasses. I highly recommend this eyewear store. read more

The owners had to have had a premonition in the naming of their optical shop because Spectacular is exactly what it is. As a retired optician/ owner of an optical shop,it wasn't easy for me to actually have to pay for glasses after 50 years. On a recommendation from a family member,I made an appointment At my appointment time,Dr Perekalsky greeted me and proceeded to give me an excellent thorough exam and it was all uphill after that. The picking of the frame process was made easy by Claudia. Claudia was patient,kind efficient and friendly. All in all, a spectacular optical shop. Whenever you're ready for a new exam and glasses,this is the place to go. You will not be disappointed read more

This place is so awesome! I lost my contacts during travel and they set me up with a trial pair. Totally I life saver. The office is clean, staff is very friendly. They also have an above average selection of glasses! read more

Dr. Karen is the BEST! Drove almost 2 hours from Northern NJ - DEFINITELY WORTH IT!!! Dr. Karen is very thorough! I find it amazing that it's possible eye doctors to see whether or not a person has diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. Dr. Karen cleans between patients, as well. Entire office staff is EXTREMELY friendly and helpful!!! DEFINITELY recommend this place!!! read more

See all

Spectacular Eyewear - Optometrists Near Me - Plainview, New York

I've been wearing glasses for the past ten years, and I've tried several different doctors. Of the many places I've tried, this place is by far the best. Jodie and her staff really made me feel welcome. They were friendly and knowledgeable, and helped me find frame that made me look stylish, which is no easy task. The amount of time, and the personalized attention given to me really made this an exceptional experience. The glasses themselves are very well made. The quality is obvious. Not only do I look good, I see good, this was the first time I got compliments on my glasses. If you're looking for service by true professionals, this is the place to go. If you haven't tried them, I suggest you try Spectacular Eyewear and experience them yourself. You'll be glad you did. read more

I had a great exam with Dr. Perakalsky. She was extending thorough. Jodie was a great help making my appointment and made me feel comfortable at my appointment. But Halie is another story. She's not nice and a little rude. Complaining the whole time I was waiting to be seen and after. She's also very pushy. She's a reason I won't be going back or at I would if she had the day off when Dr. perskalsky works. read more

My daughter recommended Spectacular Eyewear to me several years ago - and I ca't thank her enough. First time wearing glasses for me- went for my second pair this year. Owner and team are courteous, efficient, and knowledgeable. I would not go anywhere else! read more

Had a great experience at Spectacular Eyewear. Claudia was super helpful in helping me find the perfect frames. Funny thing is that i would have not given them a second chance had i seen them on my own. Love them so much now i have given up my contacts lenses. So nice such a pleasant experience. I will be going back to them for all of my eye needs. read more

I visited Spectacular Eyewear recently to pick out a pair of sunglasses as a gift for my boyfriend. The service was awesome. Halie assisted us and gave us her undivided attention and great suggestions as we searched for a pair of glasses. She has a great eye and helped us pick the perfect pair of frames. My boyfriend couldn't be happier. Thank you to Halie for guiding us and making us feel welcome and respected. We will definitely be back! read more

Jodie and her staff are true professionals. They take excellent care of their customers, from offering a wide selection of fashionable frames sure to appeal to every taste, to helping you choose the perfect frame for your face/features, to providing precise fittings and craftsmanship. I love all my eyewear from Plainview Opticians! read more

Hands down, the best experience I ever had at an optician! I drove all the way from Queens because Plainview Opticians was highly recommended by one of their customers. I was not disappointed. I received superb, one of a kind, personalized service from the moment I made my appointment for an eye exam until I walked out with my new stylish, sexy specs. Jodie, the owner, took care of me. Jodie and her staff were friendly, personable and knowledgeable. One look at her, and you could see that she was a fashion expert . She has an eye for faces and frames and picked out about 7 different frames from contemporary to retro. They were all the right ones for me but I ultimately allowed her to make the selection, and that turned out to be a great decision. I've been getting lots of compliments. Thanks Jodie! read more

I have known Jody for many years in the optical world and the one thing that strikes me the most about her is her passion for making sure that the customer is always taken care of correctly. On top of that, she is one of the most talented opticians in the business. So, when you put these two together it's a win win situation for any person who might walk through her door. read more

Had a great experience today with Gail! I bought glasses online through Warby Parker and they needed a lot of adjustments. I only wear my glasses at night after taking out my contacts, so it wasn't important to me to spend several hundred dollars on glasses. However, you obviously get what you pay for and the glasses I got needed a lot of adjustments. I called them in the morning to see if I needed an appointment, and they asked me to just call prior to coming to make sure it wasn't busy and I could come right in. I called 15 minutes prior and they advised no one was in the store, so I could come right in. Gail made numerous adjustments and even took the lenses out to heat the frames on the top because they were so stiff and almost digging into my face. I am trying them out tonight and the adjustments she made have completely changed the glasses. They are so comfortable now and more importantly, I feel like I can see properly out of them. I will definitely be going back here in October when I am due for my contact lens exam and will purchase glasses from them in the future as well. read more

Jody and the gang at Spectacular Eyewear are always friendly and courteous when I come in.

Did you ever expect to be blown away by shopping at an eye glass store? I didn't, but I was. I've needed glasses probably forever. I hate getting my eyes checked, I've had several eye operations done while I was an infant and it must have ingrained some type of pure eye doctor phobia in me. So I wasn't thrilled, but alas the significant other won out (she always seems to) and it was off to Spectacular Eyewear (where she got her glasses) to get an eye exam and pick out some glasses if I needed them. We didn't make an appointment but I was able to be seen by the doctor within minutes of my arrival. The eye doctor at this place is awesome, I explained my phobia and it was no big deal. Every little detail was explained to me before it happened and the process was relatively painless, though I'd rather have been anywhere else this was the most at ease I have been throughout an eye exam and that was important to me, but this wasn't even the best part of this whole thing... ... When I was done with my exam (and yeah, I need glasses, I thought I was exempt from aging? I guess not) I was setup at one of the tables in the front of the store. I'm not really a fashionable type of person, I wear sandals, shorts and t-shirts or shoes, jeans and t-shirts and sometimes sweat shirts. I don't pay all that much attention to that sort of thing, so in a way I wasn't ready for the process of selecting glasses. I was primarily concerned with comfort, having not worn glasses before I didn't want to suddenly feel like I had to adjust to something. My salesperson was awesome, not only did she seemingly have an unlimited supply of glasses for me to try on she explained to me while certain styles fit my face, my nose and my eyebrows better than others. As I started getting more into it and got a feel for what I liked we quickly narrowed down the options to a few different frameless set of glasses. I ended up going for a very light frameless set that's light in color. I guess they're considered designer frames but I didn't mind spending the money on these because of how good I feel when I wear them. The 5 star part of this whole review is because of how easy the entire process was and also because how cool I felt after I got my glasses, not only can I see better, but I feel like I look better. I never thought something that I was so apprehensible about could turn out to be such an appearance confidence booster. My salesperson made me feel awesome, which is great when you find out your eyes are aging and you can't see as well as you used to! I would recommend this place to anyone, I hope I never break my glasses and that my eyes don't get worse but if they do, I'll be back. read more

Spectacular Eyewear is spectacular! I'm sure I'm not the first person to say that. My mom is a nursing home resident nearby, and her glasses were crooked. The optometrist wouldn't be showing up at the nursing home for another 3 weeks. I explained that when I called, and when I went in, they adjusted them at no cost. I wear glasses and will be going to Spectacular Eyewear for my next pair, and all the pairs after that! And if I didn't wear glasses, I would start, just to support them and thank them. I can see from the other reviews that I am not alone! read more

My Opthamologist recommended Plainview Opticians and I was glad that he did! I am very happy with my new glasses and with the expert care I received. Jody and her staff took the time to take into account my personality and lifestyle before showing me several new frames. You will be in good hands with either Jody, Claudia or Judy! I felt very much at home from the moment I walked in the door. For a few years I was wearing invisible frames...and I feel a lot more stylish and up to date now. So thank you Plainview Opticians. I can't wait for you to assist me in picking out my next pair! read more

This was my first experience here. I highly recommend Plainview Opticians. They are patience & they know what looks good & very honest. Thank you so Much for the great Customer Service.....I will spread the word... read more

I am an "older" woman with white hair and blue eyes. For years I have been wearing rimless glasses and loved them. When I came in for my annual exam about 2 months ago, Jodie urged me to try on some glasses with colored frames. She felt that some color on my face would be quite flattering, since I have a fair complexion and light hair. I was VERY resistant! After a little coaxing, I decided to try on just one or two. Well, I was hooked! Now I couldn't decide between red frames, blue frames or purple frames. I decided on a beautiful periwinkle blue (to compliment my eyes, of course, lol)......and I absolutely love them! I get many wonderful comments on my glasses now......and best of all, I was told they make me look younger! Does it get any better than that? Thank you Jodie. You have an amazing sense of style.

Really had a great experience here today. Both ladies I worked with went out of their way for me. They made sure I was able to pick the perfect glasses. I did not have a lot of experience picking out glasses, so they created a helpful system so I can eliminate while I was trying on. The saleswomen was incredibly knowledgable as well. Glasses were rather expensive, but at least they are strong glasses and I will be happy with them. read more

The opticians have been very genuine and patient to my young son whose gone in for several adjustments and minor fixes. I would give them an A+ for service. read more

My ophthalmologist recommended this place for my contacts and they taught me really well how to put it in, the doctors and the workers are really nice. But, they tightened my glasses too much and they take a long time to get new contacts ready. But overall, they are pretty good. read more

Everyone there was so helpful and guided me pick out the perfect pair of funky new glasses. Other I was initially disappointed that Jodi was not there, Halie and Claudia spent lots of time with me, had me try on many pairs and just were both delightful to work with. They seemed to really care that I picked the perfect glasses for my face and style. read more

I have been to numerous opticians and optical stores from here to Florida. They are the only one with customer service and support. Their customer service is 5 star all the way. I would only use them from here on. Not one other ophthalmologist or optical store was able to get my prescription correct. Thank you for having the patience no one else had. read more

I can't say enough positive comments about Jodie and Spectacular Eyewear. I began going to Jodie and Claudia when I was recommended by my son's opthalamologist at the age of 2 years old. Not only are they patient, kind and caring but the quality of the glasses are beyond my expectations. It has been 7 years now and my whole family gets their eyewear from Jodie. The location is more than 30 miles from my house but they are definitely worth the trip and I would not even consider going anywhere else! read more

Jodie and her staff are outstanding - they are extremely knowledgeable, very helpful, and kind. The Optometrist, Dr Klein, was the only doctor who could accurately diagnose my vision and prescription properly. I live Manhattan and went to the top doctors on Madison Avenue only to be very disappointed. My parents live in Long Island and suggested this place - I was skeptical going to Long Island over the city, but I can tell you this place is a real gem. Top quality people and terrific selection. They truly care about you. read more

There are so few businesses that truly care about the customer like Plainview Opticians. Besides that they have a fantastic selection of eyeware, they have tremendous knowledge and excellent taste when it comes to eyeware. Buying glasses is a personal experience and the advice they provided was spot on. Its equally nice to know that if I did have any problems they are there to help. Thanks for everything! read more
