Central Eyes Optical

I went to Central Eyes because I saw them on Groupon and I needed an eye exam and new lenses at the very least. The optometrist was excellent — very professional. I needed to have my eyes dilated but didn’t have time to deal with blurry vision for several hours so he told me to come back which I did about a week later.
Terry was very professional showing me various frames at different price points. He didn’t rush me nor try to influence me to buy the most expensive frames. I did spend a lot on my glasses however I have a strong prescription and wear progressive and transition lenses.
All said, I am very satisfied with the glasses and the service I received.

I brought my sons glasses in to have the nose pieces replaced since he pulled them off. The owner fixed them right away and told some great jokes. Definitely will be back in the future.

Wonderful staff that not only really wants to help you but actually cares! I asked for help in choosing glasses and they were so nice and patient with me! When coming here you’re not just another customer. I’ll definitely be coming back for future appointments and exams!

Terrific team, great office. Genuine, professional and a GREAT selection!

terry is a retailer you like to deal with. he is courteous, freindly, knowledgeable and above all honest!
i have been a customer for many years and never disappointed. he has replaced lenses with coatings to cut down sun glare, reduce scratches, etc.
i wish more retailers were like central eyes.

Great service! I went to them with a groupon and am very pleased with the care, price and selection of the glasses. I bought my son two pairs with rx. After a week, my son didn’t like the way the sports glasses were fitting. The owner took them back, no questions asked, and ordered 3 more pairs from a catalog so he could choose the one he liked best. My son is very happy with his glasses. We will definitely be back.

My prescription shades broke and I needed one side fixed. The 1^st store I went to said maybe they could get a part in a few days & if not I would have to buy new frames. Terry fixed my shades in 30 minutes for free. I threw him $ 20 and plan to go back. Terry is friendly & knowledgable & this is a great spot especially if you are in a fix.

Nice collection of many different types of eyeglasses. But everything here was over our budget. We went to COSTCO in the end.

After forgetting my daily contacts at home on my weekend getaway, I was delighted when Terry said he would be able to help me. Upon walking into his shop, I felt as though I had known Terry for years. In just a quick few minutes he was able to assist me with contacts to last for my whole trip! His shop, just like him, is fabulous! I would recommend anyone to stop in to Central Eyes Optical.

I was looking for a pair of sunglasses and found a terrific frame. I had polarized lenses put into the frames and they are perfect. The store is spotless and they have a large selection.
Looking for frames/​glasses go to Central Eyes Optical you won’t be sorry !!!

I recently discovered Central Eyes Optical and I had a wonderful experience. I live in Manhattan but travel out of New York for shopping. The prices in Manhattan coupled with the miserable customer service brought me to Westchester a few weeks ago. I had always bought my glasses in New York but after reading Unilocal I decided to try Central Eyes Optical. WOW — what a fabulous experience. I was greeted warmly when I entered the store. Terry, the owner, spent a lot of time with me. He has been in the business so long that he immediately can recognize what style of frame and what color would be best. I tried on frames that I never would have considered before and now get raves about how I look. The glasses were ready on time and fit perfectly.
Even if you don’t own a car, rent one and go and see Terry. You will save substantially even with paying for a car rental.

I walked in and was warmly welcomed by the owner. I desperately Needed contacts for a weekend trip and I had run out, I called the day we were leaving and Terry was able to provide it. Central Eyes Optical is a great place to go. I definitely recommend.

Bought a groupon and was very pleased with the selection and service. Walked in and met with the owner who was awesome. He reviewed with me what the groupon covered prior to showing me the selection. I picked the frames I wanted and said he would have my prescription filled in a few minutes. When it was complete he brought them out and recommended the best way to care for the glasses. I noticed a blemish on one of the lenses. He took the glasses back, apologized, popped the lens out and replaced them within minutes. I thought it was a little pricey for frames, but then again I haven’t bought new glasses in years. Regardless I will pay extra for good service. I will be back again in the future.

PLEASE RUN AWAY…
I got tricked into trying this place. I ended up spending a small fortune even with a GROUPON. The owner and assistants are polite but Wait till you pick up your glasses. The owner cuts corners and makes lots of mistakes. If this happens to you you should run… I got an exam and pricey eye glasses. When I returned to pick up expensive designer eye glasses they looked horrible because the glass lenses were cut so badly. I complained and the owner did try to fix the problem twice on his own and cut the glass so badly. I had to wait another five more days with no glasses again. I returned again to pick up my glasses and saw the frame shape looked worst. The fame still looked different from one another and each eye looked different. The owner tried to say that the frames were that way and it was just slightly off, hardly noticeable and assured me the eye glass lenses looked fine .I gave up because I couldn’t go another week without my glasses Please don’t go to central eyes in Hartsdale… Go some where else… Try Raymond instead of these guys…

I see other Unilocalers with the same problem.
I bought a groupon a while ago. the deal was $ 200 off frames. It said for a complete pair which is also a lie. It’s $ 200 towards a paid. I still spent more than I thought. They asked for $ 200 for higher index lenses yet my friend and I got a pair with high index lenses (1.67– the thinnest) AND frames for $ 125 at Warby Parker online and I’m super happy with the quality. Keep in mind that my frames were in the cheapest section at the store too. I’ve gotten quotes from other places and their quote was still above everyone else’s. Places such as this one can pretty much throw around whatever price they want.
I ended up getting basic lenses which looked horrible because of my high prescription. Meaning the lenses were too thick for the frame. They’re a complete rip off, and they don’t even accept insurance lol avoid this place!

I had the same experience as another Unilocaler. I bought a groupon and ended up spending more money out of pocket. The worst part is that I felt like I was being treated differently than the other customers who were paying cash and not using a groupon. They were ALL told that their glasses were covered for a year under warranty but I was never told that. I wasn’t treated with the same respect or courtesy as the other two customers who shelled out more than $ 300 for a pair of glasses. I was handed my glasses and that was that. I wouldn’t return here or recommend it.

An all-​around pleasant experience. One note, I am not 100% familiar with Central Avenue and used GPS to get there. Sprint will not send you to the right place via GPS; it keeps telling you that the old computer store is your destination. It appears to be a Sprint thing because I’ve used two different GPS apps and I had the same problem last year going to Rudy’s across the street.
By the way, this review will be filtered because Unilocal is run by morons, so in advance, I am a real person with a real review. Shall I screenshot the Groupon, Unilocal

Phenomenal customer service; with a staff that goes above and beyond. The Optometrist was patient and extremely knowledgable and most importantly he practiced the number one Doctor customer service rule — Listen to your patients. The office was willing to work with me and were extremely helpful in choosing the perfect frames that complimented my face.

Found this business bc of a Living Social deal, otherwise I would never have willingly gone to this place. The shop is a mess (particle board propped, not hung, glasses and trays and CLIENT FILES scattered about) They prefer to deal in cash. There is an ATM IN THE STORE wiindow. However not being one to waste money, I found glasses ordered them and gave Terry, the owner, $ 100 cash deposit and were told they would be ready the next day at noon. Upon arrival Terry said that he had lost the frames and the rx! 2 weeks later we finally got the glasses when he demanded that payment be cash only, the glasses very very very expensive. SHADY business practices.

Summarizing: Local store that cares about customers and still has sharp prices!
We stumbled upon this store looking for a new frame. Some other stores in white plains had quite boring collections when it came to men’s frames. I also wanted to avoid the big chains because I think local business deserve more support.
At Central Eyes we found a nice selection, including good brands and I quickly found a frame that I really liked for a very reasonable price.
Terry Schneider, the owner, provided us with great customer care, and was able to make a nice package deal for us. I just picked up my glasses and I am really happy with them. Can’t recommend this store enough!
