Best selection and service. No hype. Selima Optique is in a class of its own. I always discover something there.

Larry at Wooster street, a gem – In a few decades of living in Manhattan, I've patronized several eyeglass shops. I'll be candid: I'm very demanding and obsessive about shopping for something that I'll wear every day. After patronizing other shops, the only shop, and the only person I will trust is Larry at Selima Optique Wooster Street. Larry is fun, knowledgeable, and honest. He is patient, doesn't push a sale or steer you to the higher priced options. Just go. Trust me on this.

Horrible Service, Arrogant Owner. Wow. I can't believe tha – We called and placed an order over the phone with them and gave them credit card #. Then they called back next day to say that they can't ship them without our sending a written authorization. The next day we find that our credit card was charged. So, we call them and ask them why they charged the credit card if they couldn't ship them. We were told that they shipped them despite not having a written authorization. 4 Days later still no glasses. We get a phone call... read more

Excellent customer service! – Selima store in soho still has the good old fashion customer service. This is an independent store run by very friendly, and honnest people. My girlfriend and I returned there after a long search for the right pair of glasses for her. We had tried a couple of other places in the area but we decided to return there because we felt that the staff had been very helpful and very patient with us. To add to this great service, they have a good selection of stylish glasses. My girlfriend found the perf... read more

Pretty ok – Finding cool glasses shops is something of a hobby. If you have to wear them, why not make it fun, right? I like the styles Selima produces under her own name, but the rest of the merchandise at her store is much the same as any generic optical anywhere. I didn't get my lenses from them so I can't speak to that.

Selima comes to the rescue – I am a New Yorker who has worn eyeglasses since I was 12. I bought the most stunning pair of frames designed by Selima, from her Wooster Street store a number of years ago. With a large glass area they are perfect for rimless bifocals, plus being chic. They are part of my identity. When I broke a temple piece recently, I went back to see if they could be repaired. There really is a Selima amd she was in the shop. She said she thought they could be and would send the frames on to the factory in Fr... read more

Amazing Service and Shop!! – I have never written a review before but i had to share my experience at Selima's. First of all this shop in Soho is just beautiful. The glasses are displayed in beautiful dark wooden cases and in an earthy way where you can really compare frames- Each frame has its own space and energy. There are colorful original paintings on the walls and the characters are all wearing glasses- Selima's frames are so hand crafted they feel like art. The choices were exceptional. This beautiful woman helped me ... read more

Great staff and product – Larry at 59 Wooster rules. I?m extremely surprised by the reviews that reported poor service, definitely not my experience. I?ve had therapists who were less attentive! Charming and inordinately patient, he helped an extremely indecisive customer try on half the frames in the store, and, when I returned several months later for round two, he was just as helpful. He seemed to understand that the choice of frames is not an insignificant one for customers on a budget. Great service, great selection, be... read more

Even my mom loved the glasses! – Ok, I rarely write reviews because in this city...there is no time! BUT I have a special place in my heart for Selima Optique. This year my mother turned 60 years old and I wanted to surprise her by fixing her old glasses from the 50's (awesome cat eye frames) and having her prescription put in them. I took them to Selima Optique and sadly I didn't realize that they were not repairable. (boo hoo) BUT!!! They offered to make a new pair for her using her old pair as a sample. I was sooooo excit... read more
