Had a really disappointing experience here. The doctor was rude throughout the exam, and the staff seemed solely focused on pushing you toward a purchase rather than actually helping you. There was no warmth, no patience, and no courtesy. When I asked simple questions I didn’t know the answers to, instead of explaining, they made me feel ignorant and told me to “go talk to my insurance.” That’s not how you treat someone who just wants to understand their options. What should have been a straightforward eye exam turned into an uncomfortable, stressful experience. If you want to feel respected and take your time exploring frames without pressure, I’d look elsewhere.

Great appointment with Dr.Robert. The staff that works there are really friendly and I was in and out. Dr Robert took the time to explain some things to me and it was very appreciated.
Amazing glasses best in the industry, really helped with my eye sight.
I have been seeing Dr. Ancona at Eye Drop Optique in Dumbo (Brooklyn) for several years now. Appointments are on-time and handled well, turnaround time and quality on eyeglasses is fast, and the Doctor has a lot of experience and his advice has proven spot-on, even when bringing him questions about eye issues. He takes the time to go over everything carefully, and when anything requires additional testing, he does it. Strongly recommend.
