This is a catalogue and not a shop. There is nothing to add to a basket and no checkout, because nobody should buy spectacles without a current prescription and a face measurement. Everything here can be looked at on the wall without an appointment.

Being straight with you

Myopia, honestly Blue light When to worry

A screening sorts people into those who need a closer look and those who do not. It is not a diagnosis, and a normal result today means nothing was found today.

Everything we have written How often What happens Your numbers Choosing frames Lens habits

Every photograph on this site was generated rather than taken. Nobody in the portraits is a real person, no frame in the catalogue exists, and the rooms were never built. How it was done, and the rules the pictures had to follow, is on its own page.

Repairs, adjustments and fitting

Free, while you wait, whether or not they came from here.

A frame that has slipped down the nose has moved the optical centre of the lens away from the pupil, which is a real change to how somebody sees and not a cosmetic complaint. Adjustment is the cheapest thing in optics and the most neglected. Bring them in as often as you like, and you do not have to have bought them here.

What this includes

Straightening, tightening and re-setting the fit
New nose pads, new temple tips, new screws
Soldering a metal frame where the break will take it
Re-glazing your own frame with new lenses where the frame is sound
An honest answer when a frame is not worth repairing

What this is not

Some breaks cannot be repaired, and a brittle old acetate frame will often snap somewhere else
We will not re-glaze a frame we think will not survive the glazing

The policy

Adjustments and repairs
Free, for as long as you own the glasses, whether or not they came from here, and without an appointment. The only thing we will not do is re-glaze a frame we believe will not survive it.

Woodside Eye Care Optometry & Eyewear

An independent optometry practice on 61st Street in Woodside, opened in 2009, with three examination lanes and an optician's bench, serving Woodside, Sunnyside, Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, Maspeth and the rest of western Queens. Eye examinations, contact lens fitting, children's vision, myopia management, dry eye, glaucoma and diabetic screening, plus four house collections of frames with the lenses and coatings priced separately so you can see what you are choosing. You get a written prescription at the end of every examination whether or not you buy anything here. We do not diagnose from a photograph, we are not a surgeon, and we will not tell you that your plan covers a visit — we will tell you the fee before you come.
