Lunsky M ,OD

There’s been a Dr. Lunsky working on the premises for 85 years.
The current Dr. Lunsky is Eric and he is thorough, professional, un-​pretentious, honest and informative. His place is ‘unpolished’ and his state-​of-​the-​art equipment looks out of place in it. There’s something genuine and charming about it all.
The office is a time-​capsule from an era of linoleum tiles and modest wood panelling. The administrative assistant speaks Portuguese (as well as English).
The cluttered shop has never retired a line as far as I can tell, so you can shop vintage or contemporary frames, and I considered round Gloria Steinem-​like 70s era metal frames before deciding they were a bit too dramatic to be one’s first pair of glasses. Instead I opted for small round soft brown frames with silver nails.
All in: $ 250 for frames and mild prescription bi-​focals (not graduated lenses).
