Unique Optique

This is a trust worthy and professional place that deserves a lot more love on Unilocal!Victor was recommended to me by Fabulous Fanny’s in the East Village. He sculpted my very expensive and very thick lenses to fit into a new pair of frames since my old frames broke. He saved me so much trouble and money by doing this well and fast! I am so grateful for meeting him and will definitely send my friends and family his way.

Viktor is the best! One of those «dying breed» guys who loves and lives his craft. He gave me great advice, was attentive and diligent, and charged very fair prices. A pleasure to do business with. I’ll keep going back!

This is the best place I’ve found for filling prescriptions. I’ve had five glasses made there, as well as several adjustments. It has always been a great experience. Here’s what has set it apart:
— My first pair there were rimless, which can be kind of drag, involving prototypes and several visits. Victor got them right on the very first time. This was by a longshot the easiest pair of rimless glasses I’d ever had made.
— A couple of my plastic frames were uncomfortable on the bridge, which is the sort of thing that can’t be adjusted. Your nose either fits or doesn’t fit. Victor shaved a few millimeters off each side to create more room and then polished the sides. Problem solved. Free of charge.
— One of my frames were sunglasses not intended for prescriptions. The frame is big and my prescription is high, which make the lenses especially thick. Another place had already told me that I couldn’t have them fit with prescription lenses. Victor somehow made it work.
— And finally, Victor always tries to get lenses to your specifications as inexpensively as he can. The prices are significantly lower than at other places I’ve visited. Plus the service is quick.
I’ve given up getting my prescriptions filled anywhere else. I can’t recommend his shop highly enough.

Victor Vitkun owns Unique Optique. He is an older gentleman running a small shop, but that doesnt mean that he is lacking in service or hospitality.
I purchased a few pairs of antique glasses from Fabulous Fannys a few weeks ago and took them to Victor last Thursday as he specializes in antique frames. Its monday and he has already cut and fitted the lenses for me.
His work is amazing and is, as I am used to Lenscrafters pricing, an incredible deal. I wanted the unique octagon style that one of the frames originally came with, and the other to be a traditional but larger oval shape.
So not only did he cut the lenses specifically for me, he also gave me anti-​glare, transitions, anti-​scratch, super light lenses, with a drilled hole for the earcuff for 200 per pair.
The work is amazing, I am incredibly happy, and I will be going to Victors Unique Optique for all of my future vision requirements.
