I can SEE! – I was helped out above and beyond what you could ever expect from an optical store. They stayed with me and kept offering suggestion after suggestion until I found the PERFECT pair that fit my face AND that were not too expensive. I'm very pleased with my glasses and will be back for my next Rx. Thank you!

Best Eye wear retail store in manhattan!!!! – I highly recommend DEVONSHIRE OPTICAL as the only place to get glasses in Manhattan. After hours of shopping for frames, growing more and more frustrated at the lack of customer service as well as the frame quality offered at the major chains. I turned north on University Place and walked into DEVONSHIRE OPTICAL. Wow, what a difference a little intelligent human interaction can do to our daily life. I was quickly greeted by Tanisha and Betty. As I looked at their frames a woman w... read more

Reasonable prices, great customer service – I wanted to leave a review on Citysearch given my great customer service experience here. I got a pair of glasses, prescription, with anti-glare, etc. I just love them. I wasn't pressured into buying (unlike some other places) and the salesperson helping me was patient, kind and professional. I was in and out quickly. In the end, I love my glasses; they are so sturdy and I think compliment my face really well. This shop is wonderful.

The Best, hands down – Having trekked the city over searching for a good places, I arrived at Devonshire Optical a weary man. I had been frustrated at countless boutiques across Manhattan, everywhere I went it seemed liked I was being pressured into buying something that wasn't me. Service went from snooty to downright mean at times. So it was with a heavy heart that I treaded in to Devonshire Optical on a cold January morning. I was immediately greeted by a friendly employee who introduced himself as Manny. He cheerily told... read more

Great selection / Great Staff / It's all good – This is a wonderful place to shop for glasses. This cozy shop houses an incredible array of the best glasses on the market -- from classics by Oliver Peoples to very current and new and unique styles too. John, Manny and Tanisha are friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful -- and not pushy in any way. You never feel like you are being 'sold' to. And, very important, - they will give yo an honest opinion about how a pair of glasses really looks on you. They stand by their glasse... read more

Best & Most Unique Frames in NYC – John, who owns Devonshire, shops for his frames throughout Europe. Whenever I buy glasses at Devonshire, I am often one of the first in New York to have them. It's not until one or two years later that the chains such as Lens Crafters & Cohens begin to sell them and the frames begin to show up everywhere and on everyone. That's when I know it's time to purchase new frames. Customers are given expert advice and it's almost like having a personal shopper. If you like good service, expert styl... read more
