Odyssey Optical Inc

I've always had good experiences here and have been a customer for about 3 years. They are quick, the staff is attentive, and they have great prices. I needed only a general exam and refills on my prescription, so it is a good choice for me. Also, the prescription for contacts they crated for me matched the same one I've been using for years - so that tells me that it's just as accurate as any place I've been before. Plus, they have a great location - right off the train. more

I enjoy going into odyssey optical. The staff is always on their toes making sure everyone is being helped, even though they can be a little pushy at times. I order my lenses on the phone and Im able to pick them up the next day, not to mention my glasses always were ready within a couple of hours since there is a technician always there... now that's what i call service. Pros: prices, convenient location more

TERRIBLE! DO NOT, (repeat NOT) depend on Odyssey Optical for quality eye care!!!The eye exam itself was cursory, and the first pair of glasses were so bad they made me dizzy. I went back, and they "corrected" them, but it still felt like I was on acid. When I asked for a refund, I was told no, the problem probably was my eye muscles. I had to go to a different eye doctor to get a straight answer. As it turns out, neither of the lenses was centered, and the astigmatism on the left lens was off. By the way, there are two sizes of lenses before they're ground down for your particular prescription, larger and smaller. Some prescriptions require the larger lens in order to be ground properly. The incompetent optometrist at Odyssey was unaware of this. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY AT THIS PLACE! THEY ARE INCOMPETENT more

this place i would not recommend. the staff is only into themselves and they only have out the expensive things for people to buy. the inexpensive eyeglasses are tucked away in the drawers all on top of each other and they are scratched. if you buy it and find a scratch on the frame they do not replace it accusing you that you dropped it and scratched it yourself. Pros: none that come to mind Cons: parking and customer satisfaction more

i would never shop at odyssey optical again. the place is not very nice smelling and the staff is rude. They seem to carry on conversations while trying to help you.Also they are under new ownership from what i understand. the old owner that used to be there and be very friendly is not there any more.Also, they jack up prices on frames higher than any other store i've been to, and contact lenses are much, much cheaper on line. Also they burned my frame in a box they call a hot box. and wouldn't do anything to accomodate me since it was their fault Pros: only if you want to see pretty girls Cons: no parking,no males hired except the one in the back more

I love the staff at Odyssey Optical in Astoria. They are the absolute most best alternative to the big "sell sell sell" chain stores. The optometrist is awesome--she spent a lot of time with me to make sure everything was just right, and the staff didn't push the most expensive frames to me. I would never want to go anywhere else for my eye care needs....sometimes these "Mom & Pop" shops are truely the best! Pros: Staff are polite and non pushy, optometrist seems to really care Cons: You have to ask for the cheaper frames which are tucked away in drawers (hey, its understandable) more
