Eyecare Plus

Dr. Strassman is an amazing optometrist. He is patient, reassuring and an expert in his field who loves and enjoys what he does. I felt very comfortable and confident during his exams for both glasses and contact lenses. I highly recommend him to anyone and everyone who requires eye care.

I decided to try contact lenses after turning 50, despite hearing over and over that it would be nearly impossible. Dr. Starkman never made me feel discouraged. He was incredibly patient, kind, and determined to help me succeed. He spent as much time as I needed over multiple visits, teaching me how to insert and remove my lenses and trying different options until we found the perfect combination. Thanks to his expertise and encouragement, I’m now happily wearing contacts. I couldn’t recommend Dr. Starkman more highly.

I’ve been going to Dr. Starkman for almost 20 years for regular exams, glasses and multifocal contact lenses. It can be tricky to get the correct balance in multifocals but Dr. Starkman is patient and gets them right every time.

We love Dr. Starkman! So patient and knowledgeable. I bring the entire family to him and will continue to do so for years to come.

EDIT: 10/9/25 Update Just wanted to amend my review below. I took my mother to Dr. Starkman for a new pair of glasses (as mentioned, top notch pair that lasted two years). Additionally, my mother needed her glasses tightened so we took them to Dr. Glassman. Sadly we couldn't get the right fit and it was favoring to one side. Normal practices would have told you to take a hike. Not. Dr. Starkman. he spent 3 hours going through every single tool at his disposal to get the fit right. And when it didn't, offered to fit the existing lens in another pair of frames at a fraction of the cost. Ultimately, we kept the existing lens and ordered the new frames which I look forward to seeing, but it's level of high ethics and customer service which is why I never hesitate to recommend Dr. Starkman to folks. I wish I could have kept the other pair but we do intend to make future purchases in the next year. There's not a better practice in town. Original Dr. Starkman is the kindest and most effective optometrist I've ever had the pleasure of seeing. We moved into the Teaneck area in 2022 and I was due for my annual eye exam. Dr. Starkman's office was a block away on Cedar Lane and so my sister was actually the first to go see him. As time went on, both of my parents and I have become patients of Dr. Starkman. He's been nothing but incredibly gracious and very solution oriented, working to find effective treatment when my father had a bout of episcleritis and identifying a cataract in my mother's left eye which she later had surgery for. He has a robust set of eyeglasses and his name is very well respected in this industry and so he has many eyeglass partners with whom he works with and is always able to give great deals on eyewear. My mother purchased a great set of transition lenses that have held up beautifully over the last two years and we just went in for a new pair for her this afternoon. Dr. Starkman had to step away for an urgent need but still found a way to fit us in and stayed past his closing time to accommodate us. He is by far one of the nicest people I've met over the years (and he has great taste in music. Many old classics like Dave Mason, The Bee Gees, The Rascals, The Grassroots, etc.). I'm 31 and fortunately have great eyesight today and 20/20 vision, but I would trust Dr. Starkman with my vision for years to come. I could not recommend him enough.
