My Unique Optique

They have a great collection of frames. The owner was very nice and helpful. I made a pair of glasses a while ago, and still very happy with my purchase. They also got the best deal on contact lens!!! Cheaper than online!

They are rude, unprofessional, and they lie. I bought a $ 35 Groupon for glasses and contact lens exam plus a $ 200 credit towards glasses. This Groupon stated «appointment required» so I called to make an appointment. On my first call, it was bad connection on their end (I called from a land line) and I asked if I was on speaker phone they hung up on me. I called back and was able to make my appointment. The day before my appointment they left me a strange voice message telling me to be sure to «bring your prescription» to the appointment. Why would I make an appointment for an eye exam if I already had a prescription? Anyway, when I showed up on time they had me fill out a new customer form and after I handed it to them they told me «you can go walk around» and motioned to the door. I asked «do you mean outside?» They replied «yes.» I asked «why, how long will it be before I’m seen?» They said «maybe 40 minutes.» I told them I had an appointment and they said they were busy with other customers and gave the distinct impression that because it was a Groupon they did not give it priority. I told them I couldn’t wait that long and I was told the next available appointment was in 1 week. I asked if I could actually be seen at the appointed time next week and they said only «we try.» I walked out and am now trying to get my money refunded by Groupon.

–Bought Groupon $ 35
The eye doctor is in the office only Tuesdays. So I set my first appointment for my eye exam. I took a day off and got there a half hour early and they had me wait three hours. Then, they informed me they over booked appointments and asked me to reschedule for the next week.
I took another day off of work to attend the appointment. I went through the exam and first they told me it’s going to cost more for my lenses. Also, they said on top the Groupon fee $ 35 there was a extra $ 40 fee for the exam. (It was not in the Groupon Deal.)
The guy said that the total fee was $ 650– $ 200 (credit). So I decided to not to get glasses. They refused to give me my prescription or sample contact lenses because I didn’t pay extra $ 40.
It was wasting time and money. I do not recommend this place.

For $ 30 groupon I got a prescription for 3 type of lenses, 6 pairs of disposable lenses, 1 pair of 1 month lenses and 1 small solution. Had no problem with the doctor, she was nice and understanding. Thank you, Ilya! Will order lenses from there.

Wow! What an amazing experience. I normally don’t write reviews but I definitely believe they deserve to be recognized as such a mannerable, timely, courteous and caring facility.
The minute I walked in I was greeted with all smiles and a welcoming hello.
I was seen almost immediately. The doctor (Patel) I believe. was so sweet and she listened to my every need and concern. And gave me clear answers that left me without any questions. She was truly outstanding.
They went above and beyond to help me and listened to my needs. I loved my visit. I would recommend here without hesitation.

I should of read the reviews before giving this place a chance. I can honestly say this was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had at an optometrist.
Similar to the other reviews, the owner tried to charge me an additional fee after my exam. A fee that wasn’t mentioned at all before the exam… That was super frustrating, but the worst part was how unprofessional he was.
He started yelling with an aggressive and stern tone. I was telling him, you can’t charge me for something after the fact. You should of told me BEFORE the exam, that that’s not a way to run a business. He straight up responded: «Don’t tell me about being moral or being a business man. Give me the money or I wont give you your prescription».
As the others said below, stay away. We are the customers, we are giving them our hard-​earned money; in return they should provide a great service and show a lot of respect. There are hundreds of optometrist in the city who understand that, don’t waste your time dealing with this horrible place.
P.S.
I reported this dude to the NY’ dep’t of consumer affairs, it was that bad of an experience.

I had an experience similar to another reviewer below. I also purchased a voucher from Groupon. After my exam, the owner tried to get me to pay more money! He says that my exam required some extra work… idk what. Maybe the doctor had to ask «1 or 2?» a few more times than usual? He couldn’t even explain why. The price is appealing but DO NOT fall for this! Definitely stay away!!!

Was recommended to me by a personal friend who had only the best to say about this place. I cant think of a better place in Brooklyn to take care of any optical issues, glasses or contacts.

I was extremely satisfied with my visit here. The ambiance and feel makes for a very comfortable experience and the owner showed concern and understanding for my needs. I was a little afraid to try a new place being that I’m not from the area, but was completely blown away by the outstanding service I received here.

As a wearer of glasses since the second grade, I know that the process for picking out new eyeglasses can be daunting, exhausting, and overwhelming. Well, it doesn’t have to be when Ilya the owner is helping you out. He is friendly, personable, knowledgable, and has a stylish eye. Thanks to his help, I’m the proud new owner of stunning Tom Ford glasses that I’ve already received countless compliments on. I also know by now, after spending thousands of dollars on my eyes, when I’ve found a good deal. At My Unique Optique, I certainly did. Highly recommend this place.

I wish I could give this place zero stars. This review is only for the contact exam.
I redeemed a groupon here for an contact eye exam. It was about at year ago. And it was a good deal. 35 $ for the fitting and a $ 200 credit for glasses.
While administering my exam, (to my surprise) the doctor told me that my prescription should weaker… much weaker. I protested a bit when he gave me a sample pair of contacts. Life now seemed much blurier.
When I told him that the prescription didn’t seem right he just sighed and basically told me he was the doctor and that he knew best. I ended up purchasing a 6 months worth of these contacts because I could not afford another (especially market price) exam.
After recently seeing a different doctor, they confirmed my complaints about my vision. I was prescribed –1.75 (btw he wanted to make it –1:50 but I begged for something stronger) when I should be really be wearing –2.0 and –2.25.
Don’t waste your time and money at this place.

I had a groupon deal for an eye exam and $ 200 off for a pair of frames. But I needed a tinted glasses which’s additional of course and the colour I wanted was very specific even though I didn’t have any sample or picture. But Mr. IIya seems really care what customers need so I decided let’s give it a try.
Oh my I’m so glad I trusted him, he just got one right, I mean perfect one!
His advise’s right on point, he knows exactly what he’s doing. The price’s affordable considering what’s you’re getting. If you’re looking for a pair of frames, glasses whether it’s simple one or something unique or special just ask Mr. IIya he is the best! And the receptionist’s very sweet and welcoming too. The only one things when I had an eye exam I felt little bit rushed… other than that I highly recommend My unique Optique!

Ilya, the owner, was unbelievably patient and helpful. The doctor, Dr. Lau, was lovely, kind, and helpful.
I had a groupon for an exam and contact lenses. I never had contacts before, and it took me over an hour to put them in. Dr. Lau and Ilya and everyone else were angels, walked me through the process, and made sure I had practiced using the contacts several times. They accommodated my struggling with top-​form professionalism, humor, and helpfulness.
The contacts they gave me have been working perfectly, and I’m grateful for the free extra lens cases.
This place is great.

This place was fine. I had a coupon for an eye exam and $ 200 off a pair of frames. I had my vision checked for contact lenses and glasses. Although the eye exam office smelled like lunch had just been eaten there, which I found unprofessional, the eye exam was perfectly good. The eye doctor took his time and didn’t rush me. Getting your vision checked is a participatory event — you have to chime in if you don’t feel that you’re getting the right prescription, and you’ll know because you won’t be able to read the lines in front of you! So, to the other reviewer who was skeptical of the exam, I feel that she could have spoken up a bit more.
I basically only had my vision checked and passed on the frames offer. Even with $ 200 off, the cheapest frames that I liked would have been $ 370 after getting my lenses put in (I am near sighted and have astigmatism in both eyes). That’s just too much money for glasses, especially since newer and more affordable options have cropped up.
If you need to get your vision checked or get a pair of Fendi frames, go here! The owner is eager to please and really wants to help you out.
