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)
