So friendly and so fast, can highly recommend. I had a very special request and they were extremely accommodating. This is my new optician in NYC! They do 2h lens replacement with high quality lenses.

Just had an appointment with Dr. Elm today and could not recommend him more highly. It was the best eye appointment I've had in a long while. He took the time to provide clear information, discuss my options and explained everything he was doing. None of the appointment was a mystery, which I appreciated. Very friendly and approachable!

I recently purchased a pair of Jacques Marie Mage frames from Visionary Optics, and while I initially experienced some unexpected issues with the frames themselves, the way the team handled everything is what truly stands out. Dr. Yang, Gabriel, and Brandon were incredibly professional, patient, and solution-oriented from beginning to end. When the original lenses needed to be corrected, they went above and beyond — including providing a complimentary exam to ensure everything was perfect. That level of care is rare. When ongoing structural concerns with the frames arose, the team remained responsive, transparent, and committed to making it right. They ultimately approved an exchange for a different frame color, which I genuinely appreciate. It is clear that they stand behind what they sell and value long-term client relationships over short-term transactions. Visionary Optics operates with the kind of integrity and attentiveness you hope for when investing in luxury eyewear. I would absolutely return and confidently recommend them to anyone looking for both premium product and premium service.
