Eyeglasses, Lens, Vision Exam Thread

Nowadays where does everyone go for their eye exam and to get lenses put in? Not nabe specific, I'll travel for a great optician/Optometrist. I went to Cohen's on 7th ave and they were THE WORST (the worst, Jerry, the worst!) So no chain stores for me anymore.

I have frames already, but welcome future tips. I do, however, need very good lenses. I've heard of Crizal, anyone use that?

I used Warby Parker for glasses and exam. Good company, good prices. They don't do lenses.

I liked Pearle Vision in Park Slope. The optometrist knew his stuff and didn't rush. The actual buying of glasses wasn't the best experience, but I liked the eye doctor.

I like Milano on 5th ave near Prospect. Also PArl slope optical on Flatbush near 6th ave

I've used Heights Vision Center, on Montigue Street for years. I started going there because they accept my optical plan–they're much better than the one place in Park Slope that does so.

BTW Crizal is an ant-scratce/anti-glare coating. I've gotten it on my last few pairs of glasses and tgink it's very good.

I second Bobmarvin's recommendations both for Heights Vision and for Crizal. They are great!

Even after my atrocious typos?

Made an appt for Heights Vision. Fingers crossed!

Ask to have your eye exam done by Dr. Friedman when you're there–he's great.
