Best

I was blown away by the service back in 2008 when I first visited from the UK. Went again fall 2013 and glad to see service is still brilliant.

Worst

All reviews seem positive

Best eye care I've ever had 12/21/2012

Nice and calm, easy place. No "herd" treatment. More neighborly than any place I've been. From the first, they have treated me as a welcome friend, rather than someone to ream for fees. My questions are answered, my requests are considered and discussed. They didn't bat an eye (heh heh) when I arrived :15 minutes late last time. Just an EASY experience! Everyone in my office goes and I am glad MGO was recommended to me. Cool glasses, too. more

Definitely recommended 10/29/2012

I liked being able to book my appt online & appreciated the friendly, helpful & professional staff! Sandy especially was great about suggesting frames both flattering & practical: I have a strong prescription, so she recommended smaller, plastic frames to help camouflage thicker, heavier lenses. I also liked that no one tried to upsell me on more expensive frames. Had some anxiety about the process going in, so was pleasantly surprised by my nice experience there. Thanks Manhattan Optical staff! more

Quick and Painless 10/12/2012

by G.B. at Genbook Provided by Genbook
I heard about this place from a colleague at work. She had a great experience there and I can now echo her sentiments. The staff was friendly, attentive, and organized. Dr. Chin was patient and kind. I could not recommend this place more highly. I will be going there from now on. more

Highly Recommended! 10/10/2012

by Anon at Genbook Provided by Genbook
Saturday night I broke my glasses. A late-night frenzied Yelp search yielded these guys. I made an appointment through Genbook that night. I had an exam, considered a new type of contacts (until I balked and decided to stay with what I have), picked out new frames, and had my new glasses made. Dr. Chin was so nice and accommodating, especially during my freak-out about new contacts. Annie helped me pick out my new frames. And Paul found a way to fix my broken pair the next day! more

Quick, easy, and professional 10/8/2012

A very timely and breezy eye exam for contact lenses. The staff was helpful, friendly, and courteous. It is an excellent deal if you order lenses through them--my exam came out to be less than $50 if I calculate how much it would have cost me to order lenses from another provider. Will definitely be going back. more

Professional, Courteous, Affordable! 9/28/2012

by M.N. at Genbook Provided by Genbook
The contact lens exam was one of the most thorough I've ever had and I was allowed to try several different types of contacts to see which I preferred. I was also given a prescription for reading glasses since my drug store readers weren't working. I ended up purchasing a pair of affordable, custom reading glasses there, and they were ready in a half hour. The service is unquestionably the best of any eye place I've been to in the city. I will definitely be back. more

Most thorough eye exam in nyc! 9/25/2012

by T.K. at Genbook Provided by Genbook
I recently came here for a yearly routine eye exam (I'm a contact wearer). The doctor took a considerable amount of time to thoroughly check my prescription, which I very much appreciated. I mentioned to her that my contacts had been bothering me and she went the extra mile to really assess my eyes and see what the culprit of my irritation is/was. Sadly, it is truly rare to find a doctor these days who takes as much pride in their work. I have definitely found my go-to eye doctor! more

Another First-Timer for DMV Exam 9/9/2012

For $15.00 MGO tested my sight, signed a DMV form that they provided, so that I can reduce time at the DMV when I get my new license. Everyone was friendly, professional and the vibe was very relaxed. In a small, window-filled, corner shop at Grand/Mott. And I shopped for great, cheap produce on the way to the D train home. Highly recommend on every level. more

First Time Visitor 9/9/2012

Everyone was so nice, welcoming, and made you feel like you were the whole reason they were at work that day. I don't have insurance, but I felt it was very affordable. When trying glasses on, the person helping me was amazing, patient, and very good at helping me find styles I like. In fact, he even was the one to suggest the pair of frames I fell in love with, which were half the price of the ones I was leaning toward before I found those. Really great customer service! more

Great Experience! 8/23/2012

They really took care with the exam to make sure they nailed the correct Rx. I tried on many frames, and suggested I test out the 2 different anti-glare lenses on their in store computer. There was no rushing (the store became busy) and no up-selling; the lovely salesperson who assisted me ended up suggesting the frame that looked the best on me even though it was one of the cheapest in that particular line (Gunnar). Oh ya… and awesome prices! more

Excellent service 7/21/2012

I received friendly, professional service throughout my visit, and I will definitely return. I wound up choosing a brand of frames that I have never seen before, and that are the lightest-weight frames I have owned. more

Exam started late, but doctor was friendly and efficient and covered all bases. Pricing was fair, although they don't take many insurances, so it may be worth checking if this important to you. more

Fast contacts lens exam. My appointment began on time. The doctor was thorough but quick. She answered all of my questions and didn't push any particular brand. Prices are fair and a little cheaper than expected, especially in NYC. more

This is a great spot--best prices that I've found (no fee for exam if you buy contacts), pretty quick service, and really friendly and accommodating staff--Dr. Chin was very patient with my millions of questions. This has been my eye doctor for three years and I have never had a problem. I have recommended them to friends. more
