Read More On Citysearch by Sarah P at Insider Pages 7/31/2010 - Excellent Service & SelectionSome the coolest frames you can imagine in the friendly atmosphere of a long standing neighborhood shop.
Manny is a great representative of the store. He has a natural enthusiasm for the store and its products, and it's a pleasure to deal with him. His no-pressure, patient, and extremely knowledgeable approach made me eager to do business here.
Manny went above and beyond expectation i...

Whenever I buy glasses at Devonshire, I am often one of the first in New York to have them. It's not until one or two years later that the chains such as Lens Crafters & Cohens begin to sell them and the frames begin to show up everywhere and on everyone. That's when I know it's time to purchase new frames. Customers are given ...
Read More On Citysearch Agent99 4/21/2009 - great placeDevonshire Optical is a breath of fresh air in the city. The people at Devonshire are helpful, patient, and full of good advice. Their eyeglass selection is also one of the best in the city. I'd been to alot of stores where I felt that I was about to be swindled or where the employees were either too busy or too uninterested to care. Skip the others, and go straight here now.

I'm ashamed to say that I was a little skeptical that there was nary a negative review. But I went, I tried on several frames. Had to get new lenses as well. I was told of all my options but never felt pressured into buying anything. I love my new glasses! Also, you get an NYU student discount.

I am really picky of choosing eyeglasses or sunglasses at that so I have tried many places with no results.
one day just walking by "Devonshire Optical" after my job I decided to give it a try since I have never been there before. Half an hour later I walked out as happy as never before that I finally found my...
Read More On Citysearch angelo20 7/20/2008 - They carry hard to find designer frames!You'll know as soon as you look in their rather amusing window displays that they have good selection, but when you go inside and actually get helped by a staff member, you will find that they have some really hard to find, unique and beautiful things that you wouldn't have even thought to look at. They carry Lafont eyewear, which I haven't seen in such abundance since I was in Paris. I'm sure I ...

Read More On Citysearch 568291 12/12/2007 - Stop looking, you've found it...I read the reviews on Citysearch, then went to three glasses places downtown before coming to Devonshire. Now I know what it must have felt like for the Israelites to come into the promised land. Just so you know, I put optical joints in the same category as mattress places: rackets. They can charge ridiculous prices and I feel like I'm being sold snake oil. But at Devonshire, I found smart, ...
Read More On Citysearch jedsilverstein 9/23/2007 - best eyeglassesI have been extremely near-sighted for many years and so have a lot of experience buying glasses. This year I had to get bifocals--er progressives--and was really dreading this next step, so I put off getting a new pair for as long as possible, I ended up going to Devonshire shortly before leaving the country. They had a great selection at reasonable prices (for NYC) and had my glasses done in t...
Read More On Citysearch oya9 8/23/2007 - Rates 10 Stars with me !!!!!I had a pair of non prescription sunglasses that I wanted made into prescription glasses and was told by three other opticians that it could not be done. Dan looked at them, checked the curvature of the frame and said he thought it would be possible. When my glasses were delivered to me they were perfect!!!! Thank you DEVONSHIRE !!!!! You deserve 10 stars !!! TTG

The service is first rate, the selection is unbeatable, and the prices are reasonable. All my friends and family have complimented me on my new eyeglasses. My experience with Devonshire Optical was so pleasant I will not go anywhere else. Thanks Dan for such a great experience, you have a ne...
Read More On Citysearch vhp 7/12/2007 - Devonshire is the place to go for high quality and chic eyewearDevonshire is the place to go for high quality and chic eyewear. My opthamologist recommened I get Progressive lenses, corrective lenses that let you see at 3 distances. At Devonshire they fitted me wonderfully. I've never seen or looked better! My friends have gone there too for their eyeglasses and said it was great. This is a great place!

The salesperson was patient, extremely easy to talk with, and very helpful in assisting me to purchase two pairs of glasses. When I returned to pick up the frames, a second salesperson fitted the glasses, carefully making sure they were comfortable and well-place...

I mention that because I've gotten a lot of inside info on materials used for eye wear, designer wear vs. the eyewear designers -- and also those opticians who are talented in helping you pick frames that flatter your face, that are good for your presciption, your coloring...

Read More On Citysearch maresy 1/31/2007 - Love my glasses!My experience at Devonshire Optical was a great one! My boyfriend and I both got rimless glasses. Mine were Kawasaki with blue sides, and my boyfriend got Silhouettes that look great. The service there was terrific, and Dan recommended a coating that makes a huge difference in the glasses. I always love walking by and seeing their new and creative window displays.

Read More On Citysearch tasok 1/3/2007 - fantastic serviceBest in the city. I shopped around: the service, selection, and price cant be beat. These guys have an eye for aesthetics, theyll take the time to help find the pair of glasses that complements your face & personality. Really nice people, honest service. No reason to go anywhere else.
Read More On Citysearch af10 9/11/2006 - Great Fashion, Great Service, Great PriceI found the exact pair of glasses I was looking for at Devonshire. I had compared many on-line and in store options and while I found them at many locations, I chose to buy them at Devonshire because I got a great price and very helpful service. While trying on glasses the staff showed me many options from their extensive collection. And during the purchase they helped me get a great price by ...

Read More On Citysearch defstath 9/8/2006 - Devonshire Opticalboth I and my husband got prescription glasses here: coolest selection of frames, without an imposing atmosphere, that I have seen after several disappointments elsewhere. This is important since one does not want to be pressured into such important purchases, of items that sit right on one's face! I especially like their color frames, possibly the largest and most varied selection of non-con...
Read More On Citysearch noabarlera 9/1/2006 - best eyeglass and eyecare specialist in manhattanthe selection here is unparalleled (they actually carry frames that you will wear), as is the service. unlike other such places, they will take as much time as it takes to find the right frames for your face and give honest assessments of how each looks and without the slightest hint of sales pressure. once the frames/lens are ready, they'll sit with you for as long as it takes until the fit is c...
Read More On Citysearch zyzgy 8/19/2006 - Great selection of frames, professional serviceThe staff is really friendly and helped me find a pair of sunglasses that was just right for me. Prices are so reasonable that I'm sure I will be getting a few more. The selection of frames is great. The store is well stocked on major brands as well as some more obscure, hard to find ones. I loved the whole experience!

Their professional yet personable service has kept me returning, both for new lenses as well as new and interesting frame styles that have been introduced.

Read More On Citysearch msanewyork 8/10/2006 - Just the best!I have been wearing glasses for my entire life, and Devonshire Optical is the best Optical store I have ever been to. The selection they provide is unparalleled and the customer service is superb. I left with two great new pairs of glasses, and even brought my parents back to get glasses there, too! The small space and private atmosphere make it so easy to browse around and find the frames that p...
Read More On Citysearch waldendervish 8/5/2006 - Huge selection, fast service, friendly staffI have had the same pair of glasses for years and one day they finally broke. I thought they were gone forever and I brought them in to Devonshire Optical and they not only fixed them on the spot, but they also straightened them out for me and didn't even charge me. I decided it was time for a new pair and came back with my prescription the next week. For a small store they had the biggest sel...
