Sunglasses

Pildes is the best! Ask for Richard!‎‎ I have worn glasses forever. I own more pairs than God (who, by the way, likes plastic frames). And I know great quality and great service when I see it. I challenged Richard with two vintage frames for my wife. The last person who wore them was Ben Franklin’s girlfriend, I think. I asked him to clean, polish, and install new lenses. There aren’t many shops that would even try. Richard was bright, friendly, and professional. His advice was excellent, and in three days he returned the glasses in like-new condition! He is amazing! Not to mention that Pildes frame selection is fantastic and they make their own lenses onsite. Stop looking and get your glasses here! These people know, care, and love glasses, especially Richard.

Great long term staff. Very friendly. Know you by name. Great eye exams there. Great choice of glasses,contacts, great styles. Lots of special prices for contacts etc. The entire experience whether u r there 4 an eye exam, or to purchase contacts, or buy new glasses, frames, sun glasses etc is honestly a pleasure. Love all staff, Rubin, Maria, Jay and everyone else. They have been in the neighborhood for many years and hope they r there forever!

“Thank you for your attentive help when I was choosing a new pair of prescription sunglasses, which I love to wear.  Your cheerful willingness to let me try on frame after frame and answer all of my questions sets you apart from other retail shops in New York, including professional opticians.  Your keen and able service is what persuaded my father to buy a pair from you even though he had not planned on it.  You’ll see me again when I need new eyeglasses.”
