Beware of NYC Optics. I reported my incident to the authorities who have told me that NYC Optics are under investigation for online fraud through their website and ebay transactions. They will charge your credit card, never send your product, and fight you tooth and nail to keep the money. They wont however take any calls or respond to your emails. Don't go down this path. TOTAL SCAM!

There are so many reasons I am giving them five star reviews. But I would say original product and competitive price. The model I ordered was not in stock any where but they had it in stock. Thank you!

I am not an employee, I have much better than a fifth grade education, my "Engrish" is just fine, and I was very happy with my glasses.
I wanted designer frames for less than $400 and NYCOptics had the best price I found on the frames.
I wanted the thinnest lenses so that my pretty designer frames would not slide down my nose due to my strong prescription.
They were not inexpensive but they were exactly what I wanted, and they were less expensive than the other sites carrying the exact frame I wanted.
The prescription is right on.
Some people may be unhappy with their experience but they should not accuse everyone who is happy about theirs of being liars.

From the time of college days, I am very much moody about choosing my glasses, and I was always looking for those who are cheap also. After many unsuccessful attempts I have found the online Shopping site, nycoptics.com that really help me out of my desires. Even I suggest you to many a office colleague and many friends to buy glasses only from this website.

I admit, I was skeptical after placing my order. And not having a number to call was making me very nervous. But every time I sent an email, they answered it within 24 hours and I always received and answer to my panicky questions.

Today I received my glasses and I am so excited. They are perfect and real. What a great price. I am so happy about my purchase.

There are many websites are there who are all time in full intention to be fooled their customers by selling the wrong goods to them. But nycoptics.com is kind of a online shopping website which is very much genuine and authentic and at the same time they are very much concern about the delivery time and condition of the goods at the time of delivery. Every client of it is very much happy about their shipping.

Being very choosy, no local shop can provide me my kind of glass which makes me satisfied, then a friend of mine suggested me the name of nycoptics.com, really the online site is mind blowing in designs and very cost effective too.

Buyer beware. This is a group of websites-- they all have the same address in Brooklyn or similar ones. It's a scam operation.

I have recently purchased a pair of spectacles from nycoptics.com and I am completely satisfied with their customer care support and prompt delivery services.

My transaction started in January and it's now mid-June. I lost $279.

All communication was by email. Initially, "Samantha" helped me along the way; the company shipped a pair of frames after about a month, which were the wrong size. I returned the frames immediately and the company said they would keep looking for the right size. After a while, I figured out the right sized frames were unavailable. Then they just strung me along for a few months without a refund; after a while, "Samantha" never even bothered to reply to my queries. I feel like an idiot.

From a very long period I was searching a cost effective but a very attractive Crizal glasses for myself. Recently, my best friend has suggested me the name of nycoptics.com and trusts me this is the most amazing collection which I have seen in my lifetime.

Starting from those who wants high end fashionista and to those Bikers who want to protect their eyes and also impress others by their stunts, nycoptics.com upholds a very huge but rare collection for them and ready to provide them safely in less than three business days.

They will take your money. You will never receive your glasses. When you call you will hear what sounds like a professional recording telling you to wait for the next customer service representative and then you will be cut off. If you try to chat with them online you will always find them offline. If you email you will not get a response. I have notified my bank's fraud dept.

If you ask me to rate nycoptics.com, then I will certainly give 10 out of 10. The prices of their products are reasonable.

First I never received a receipt to send to my insurance company. $400 and nothing. Second -my frames arrived 3 weeks late and without lenses. They said they would ship Fedex and did not. Their customer service were never able to get me my lenses.

I really get confused every time, whenever I come close with the collection of nycoptics.com and pick up multiple numbers instead of taking one or two.

I purchased a pair of eyeglass frames from them. I didn't care for them, I had no idea when I returned them for an exchange they were going to keep my initial purchase amount, & also the $9.95 I sent to cover shipping of the new frames out to me. They claim customer service is a priority. They never answer their phones, their live chat is non-existent. They don't even have a store, it's just a p. O. box in some shipping store. The only person I had the total misfortune of dealing with was an idiot by the name of Samantha Stein.

Site lies about inventory in stock. Charged my CC and told me frames were coming from manufacturer - but I know the manufacturer discontinued this style two years ago. SCAM!

If you are currently looking for sunglasses with the prospect of visibility and for getting the glasses with the exotic frames, then go for the Gucci, and no one can serve and supply such huge range other than nycoptics.com. Without stopping just go for them.

There are copious number of websites are there, but there are very few like nycoptics.com who can really help you out of their fabulous collection and also the good shipping, and even after purchasing they would guide you with their customer care services.

I purchased a pair of glasses frames from NYOptics. They happily charged my credit card and never sent the frames. They also did not reply to my email. Don't know why there site is permitted to be online still.
