Our family has been coming to Sterling Optical for over 10 years. They have handled the eye exams for all three of our children, including the often-difficult process of learning to use contact lenses. Even when it was a struggle and required multiple appointments to get it right, the staff was always incredibly professional and patient. While I am usually the one who brings the children, my wife went in today for our child’s eye exam. She was so impressed by the service and the overall experience that she called me immediately to tell me how great everything was. She specifically mentioned the excellent care provided by Suzette. I actually tried to call the store just now to say thank you, but Suzette didn’t pick up the phone. So, Suzette, because you didn't answer, I’m going public :) Thank you to the entire team for your kindness and for the exceptional service you’ve provided our family for more than 15 years. If you have children or are simply looking for phenomenal service, I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

My family and I went to Sterling Optical for many years. Dr. Suzette fitted me for my very first pair of glasses! I have since moved out of the area, but think about my experiences here every time I go to another eye doctor. I can’t recommend them enough, wish I still lived on the UWS!
I got my first contact lenses today and can’t say enough good things about Dr. Suzette. I’m very squeamish and came in to learn how to put them in and take them out. Suzette explained and modeled every step so clearly and offered alternatives based on my hand shape when I had trouble with one approach to removing them. Because of my nerves it took me over 2 hours, a lunch break, and then a return in the afternoon to successfully take them out. In over 3 hours, she didn’t show even an ounce of impatience or frustration and didn’t rush me at all. The opposite- she encouraged me to take a break to rest, chatted with me, and said over and over that I didn’t need to apologize. With her encouragement I finally got them out and was so grateful that she supported me through it rather than offer to just take them out to wrap things up. Professionals like Suzette are few and far between. I’m so grateful!
The lady up front was incredibly helpful and very kind. Got my prescription checked on my glasses and she did it with no charge! Best optician in the neighborhood:)
Excellent service. They have had my wife and my business for close to 30 years!!!
