Minzer’s Optical

This place saved me one day.
My glasses got broken and i had to leave the country 2^nd day.
He did it for me in 20 min. Best framr ever and best price too.
You are the best.

Seriously, this place is amazing. I found it when my husband needed new glasses, and his eyesight is terrible. Because his prescription is so unusual, places were quoting me $ 800. We even tried the discount places like Cohen’s (also $ 800) and Warby-​Parker (didn’t make his prescription.) The eye doctor told us about Minzer’s, and his glasses were $ 80 and made same day! So we got 2! I’ve gone there for extra pairs of glasses for myself, and I got a pair for $ 40 and they were made in about 10 minutes. It’s an Orthodox Jewish place, and sometimes secular people (especially women,) are treated badly by Orthodox Jews, but the guys who work there are SO NICE — really helpful and friendly. I can’t recommend this place enough. You may want to buy your everyday glasses someplace more fashionable (though they do have a decent selection of frames,) but you should totally get a back up pair or prescription sunglasses here.

This place is the best. Seriously. Nice selection of frames, cheap as all heck, and speedy, professional service. When my daughter’s insured $ 300 glasses broke after less than two months of light wear, the original optician told me I was plumb out of luck unless I wanted to pay to have them replaced, which would take at least a week or more. At Minzer’s:
1. I was able to buy two new pairs of glasses for my daughter for $ 100 total. Glasses were ready for her in under an hour.
2. If that wasn’t enough, Minzer’s attempted to fix the original broken frames for free. When they couldn’t fix it, they popped the lenses into a new frames. No charge for labor or for new frames.
Because of this, Minzer’s has won my loyalty big time. I’ll be back for all my eyewear needs.

I was first introduced to Minzer’s through Dr Norman Saffra and his associates who practice upstairs. Tiny storefront tucked in the basement and behind another eye doctor’s office.
It’s like the middle child getting no attention at all. Truthfully you will not be able to find this place unless directed by the doctors next door of upstairs to them.
This is by-​far the most affordable optical store I’ve seen in the boroughs, carrying big names and the no names.
The guys here are extremely efficient though can be a bit arrogant at times. We’ve been coming here for years now, but really not much to complain about.

I’ve taken y Daughter there for years, and have always been pleased. We get to pick frames, have the lenses cut to fit while we wait… and in under an hour, we’re off. Prices are amazing, and the eye Doctor tells me that the glasses are always done correctly (something that’s not always the case with other places). Be aware that it’s not exactly the most «up to date» showroom, and there are some surly Clients-​mostly Hassidic Jews, but we’ve always been pleased

The trek to borough park was completely worth it. A friend of mine who lived in the neighborhood raved about this place, so I had to give it a try. I would recommend going with a friend to help you pick out frames. Unlike sales diven optical stores that try to upsell the crap out of you, this place is no frills. Most of the staff are actually working: making lenses and adjusting frames. With that said, many of the frames are less than $ 50 and regular leases are about $ 20 – 30 more. They do carry some designer frames but most aren’t popular brands. This doesn’t mean they aren’t quality or durable.
You can expect to have you frames in less than an hour. Mine were ready in 30 minutes.

This optical store is unbelievable. I came in with an expensive pair of Tom Ford eyeglasses thinking that I was going to get high index lenses, and I left under an hour later with two new frames, outfitted with high index lenses, for less than the cost of just the Tom Ford frames I walked in with. These guys seriously know their specs!

Cheap, Cheap, Cheap. For Quality.
Just bought a pair of prescription glasses that turn into sunglasses when the sun hits the glass. Good quality. Frame $ 39, Glass $ 69. Total $ 108. 7 years ago this cost me $ 339 @ Pearl Vision. Most stores over charge big time when you ask for special lenses. They had my lens in stock. I picked them up 25 minutes later. You want a great price every time. Go to Minzer’s Optical.

I got my first pair of glasses here in 1990, I was in the 6^th grade and loved it and still come back. Talk about inexpensive, fast and no gimmicks. They have CUTE, great frames no name frames and no crazy add ons for lenses.
I always get compliments on my glasses, little do they know that I only spent $ 40 on my glasses and got them in an hour. ha!
If you like designer and extras on your lenses this is not the place. This is no frills free zone.
Team Smart Shopper.

I believe this is the one in the basement that sharess the office with Maimonides Optical and Dr. Norman Sarffa.
The store isn’t anything fancy, but they get the job done RIGHT.
I got a pair here back in the day.
My brother comes here yearly for glasses.
Not a rip off like ALL the ones on 8ave.
My brother even got his customized basketball glasses here for $ 100 where every place around here charged $ 300.
The customer service here is great.

I used to come to Minzer’s as a child, it’s where I got my first pair of glasses (and a few pairs after that). I always remember it being crowded, and hated the hour-​long car ride and finding parking, but my parents loved it because they were quick and inexpensive. My grandparents came here, my parents came here, and I came here oh so long ago.
I needed new lenses and, now that I’m living in Brooklyn, it made perfect sense to take a swing by Minzer’s and check it out. On a Thursday afternoon, I walked right in and got taken immediately. Twenty minutes later (no exaggeration), I was back outside on my way to the train, my glasses had new lenses to my exact specifications. If you’re looking for bedside manner, you’re not going to find it here. But if you’re looking for quick service done right, I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

Cheap, fast, no nonsense (or ambiance, for that matter.) My kind of place.
