Visionary Optics Upper East Side

Eye Exams on the Upper East Side

Our optometrists see patients at 1409 3rd Avenue for comprehensive and contact lens exams. If you have, or are at risk for, eye disease, book a medical eye exam, which includes glaucoma screening and Optos retinal imaging. We are in-network with VSP at this shop.

Same-Day ZEISS Lenses

We keep over 1,000 ZEISS single vision lenses in stock here, so we can cut and fit single vision glasses the same day while you look through the frames. Walk-ins are welcome. Call ahead if you would like a set time.

Progressive lenses take 3 to 7 business days. Read about our progressive lenses.
