I’ve been coming to Eyes on Second for three years now, and I can’t recommend Dr. Seema Amin and the entire team highly enough. This was my third visit, and every single time they have been professional, efficient, and incredibly welcoming. I have astigmatism, so finding the right fit for both contacts and glasses can sometimes be a challenge. Dr. Amin is fantastic. She is thorough, patient, and takes the time to explain every part of the exam so you feel completely confident in your prescription. She really listens to your concerns and ensures that you’re getting the best possible vision correction. The staff at the 2nd Ave location is also top-notch. They are friendly and helpful, making the whole process from check-in to frame selection seamless. I recently picked up a pair of photochromic glasses and a new supply of contacts, and I am super happy with the results. The quality of care here is consistent year after year. If you’re looking for a neighborhood eye doctor in the East Village who truly cares about their patients, definitely go see Dr. Amin at Eyes on Second!

Dr. Shiyan was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and genuinely so sweet. I’ve been wearing glasses since the third grade and have seen many optometrists over the years, and she is truly the best I’ve ever had. She took the time to explain everything, answered all my questions, and made me feel completely comfortable and confident in my care. I’m so grateful to have found her and would highly recommend her to anyone.
Dr. Lina Cawog and her staff are the best! I had an urgent eye issue and she was able to squeeze me in quickly, then made the time to see me again the next day. I was very happy with the low wait times. She took me/my issue very seriously and made me feel listened to and cared for. Plus the office is gorgeous and the staff are very friendly. Thank you Dr. Cawog and team! I will be back!
I had a great experience with Dr. Fenella Shneur during my recent eye checkup. The office is nice but feels a little cramped. Before meeting her, an assistant took pictures of my eyes for a small extra copay, which I preferred instead of getting my eyes dilated. Dr. Shneur later reviewed the pictures with me and clearly explained what they showed about my eye health. She took her time to make sure my new reading glasses were the right fit and answered all my questions patiently. I really liked how she ended the visit by encouraging me to keep up yearly checkups. She is caring, thorough, and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend her.
Great staff and doctor. Seema Amin is such a great optometrist. She was super detailed and helped fix a bad prescription from another doc. Their team is really on top of communication via email and phone. Highly recommend as a local.
