Here's What Our Patients Are Saying About See World Optics

Besides the computer glasses, he chose a perfect stylish frame that fit my face for my distance-vision glasses with progressive lenses. I was not planning to get a pair of computer glasses, but Drew took the time to discuss and understand my prescription and my vision needs. I highly recommend See World Optics for anyone who wants stylish eyeglasses or needs eyeglass adjustments, but especially anyone who has a strong prescription and complicated vision needs like myself.

...Drew did not try to sell more than what was absolutely needed. He is honest, ethical, patient, extremely knowledgeable and helpful in selecting the proper and stylish frames. We will always be able to "See the World" better because of Drew.

I live five hours away and drive all the way to Drew at See World Optics when I need new glasses. He is knowledgeable, friendly, and patient, and skillfully makes me perfect glasses time after time. Further, I have a very thick prescription and he happily spends the time to make my glasses as thin and as comfortable as possible...Since I live so far away, he promptly ships them to me free of charge. My entire family gets their glasses from Drew and he is always willing to do a quick fitting or repair. I would never trust another optician!

- Debbie B.
The wire-rimmed frames of my only available pair of glasses broke. Drew skillfully repaired them in minutes, even though it was a difficult break to fix. I am once again so grateful to him for saving me the cost of new frames and doing it so quickly and at a minimum cost. I know of no other place that will re-solder glasses while you wait. Drew is a treasure, both as an experienced, gifted craftsman, as well as a wonderful person to deal with.

I went to See- Optics for special glasses in my existing frames. It was difficult to explain but Drew exactly understood my requirement. He is a real professional and spent lot of time and effort to meet my need. I am very happy with the services and would highly recommend to others for their optical needs.

I can’t tell you how wonderful their service, dedication and efficiency has helped me for many years. Not only is Drew helpful, but very knowledgeable in all things pertaining to eyes. His associate, Dr. Martin Sigman is equally efficient. He helped me to see better with his wonderful examination. I am very happy to recommend both of them for eye glasses, eye exams, eye frames, etc. Thanks for being such a dependable help for all of us that wear glasses. Glad you’re in our community.

See World Optics is truly “worth the trip from anywhere.” It has a huge parking lot, is near major highways. but most of all, it’s run by Drew Washton, a licensed optician and owner. He makes you feel that you are the only customer he wants to please. No matter how busy he is you are made to feel that you can’t leave until he has answered every question. And what a selection of frames! He helps you choose what is best for your face and pocket. He even repairs glasses you bought somewhere else.

- Fred T.
There is no pair of glasses Drew can’t fix...Not only did Drew fix my frames, but while fixing my frames he showed me other frames, and what was crazy is that they all looked good and fit my face perfectly...Drew is wonderful. He is patient, kind, listens to his customers, takes the time to fix your frames (and it’s quality work, not a [bad] job at all) and doesn’t just try to sell you the new styles. Drew has over 30 years' experience in the optical field and if you live in the tristate area, just get there - you won’t be disappointed!!

- Jenn F.
Drew explained exactly what my Medicare rights are and the process to get new glasses. He spent a lot of time with me and even repaired the broken temple part on my old glasses – without a Charge! He is very knowledgeable...With great relief I discovered my old glasses (which were fixed by Drew) are correct to wear as is because of a slight change in my vision.

Drew is certainly a man who gives exceptional service and I salute his kind of neighborhood reliability, kindness and fine professionalism.

Hi Drew,

My husband was in this past September to have the nose piece on my glasses fixed. You did it so quickly despite the fact that the hailstorm caused a hole in your roof that you were dealing with. I wanted to thank you very much.

- Ellyn
...My wife and I have been with Drew for ages. He is the best - he's smart and knowledgeable on optics. Plus, he is a great talker. We highly recommend him for glasses and a little entertainment.

- Jordan Baurmash
After reading the five-star reviews, I decided to give See World Optics a try when my glasses broke and I was out on Long Island. Drew was great and helped me with everything I needed. Highly recommended!

- Jessy G.
Whenever and wherever you receive a prescription for lenses, the only place to complete the process is with Drew at See World Optics. He is the most skilled optician I’ve encountered in over 20 years. Not once was there a problem with the finished product. Drew offers sage advice, has the greatest collection of frames anywhere and is a great guy ta’ boot.

- Christine
My contact ripped, and I work up the block from Drew at See World Optics. I called him and told him my situation, he told me to have my optician fax my prescription over. Within 5 minutes, I went to Drew, and he gave me a sample contact lens - I am now switching opticians. Thank you, Drew - I can see.

- Jamie
If you want true professional service for your eye care needs,  
then go see Drew at See World Optics. I have been going to Drew for mine, for over 20 years. Drew has an incredible knack for choosing just the right frames for you! He fits and adjusts your glasses until they are a perfect fit for you...He will also repair, or adjust any damaged glasses, including replacing any needed parts either for a nominal fee, or even for free. If you live in the NYC / Long Island area, you can never go wrong by going to Drew for your eye care needs.

- Brian B.
Drew was a lifesaver today...I discovered that my wire-framed silhouette glasses had one of the ear pieces bent. They were unusable as they were. We stumbled across his wonderful store and feel so fortunate that we did. He gave wonderful friendly service and showed expertise and mastery in fixing the frame. Thank you so much, Drew. I will take your advice and follow up with my home optical shop. If they cannot help me with what you suggested, you will be seeing us in your store next week.

- Georg’Ann
Drew is the best! Five stars! No one is more professional, and he will give you a great experience...Drew did everything to make my experience with See World Optics an unforgettable one...Drew is very understanding and will work with you so you leave satisfied. My glasses were done within 24 hours.

Bottom line - go to Drew at See World Optics - you will not be disappointed, and more importantly, you will not want to go to anyone else but Drew. He has made me a loyal customer!

- Marcello Sobottka
This morning, I stepped on my glasses, breaking both hinges. I didn’t have a replacement on hand and was desperate to get them fixed ASAP....Fortunately, I was able to find Drew at See World Optics. He fixed the hinges for me in a few hours for only $30. They are now better than ever.

Lesson learned: don’t step on your glasses, but if you do, go to See World Optics.

- Hugo
At 33, I have a very high-lens prescription and had basically stopped wearing glasses because I always hated how thick and heavy they looked on me. When my old glasses became unwearable, I was referred to Drew at See World Optics and was blown away by the personal attention I received. Drew looked at my prescription and gave me frames to try that he knew would work and still look beautiful. When he heard that I was leaving on my honeymoon in 2 days, he got on the phone, found my lenses and assured me that they would be ready the next day. I loved them so much that I left the shop in them and kept them on all afternoon. I will definitely be going back to Drew for all other glasses I need. Thanks a million!

- Tricia M.
I am visiting from out of town and broke my wire-rimmed glasses. The break was not simple to fix...Sensing that I was in a desperate situation, Drew immediately and skillfully began to repair the frames. In a short time, they were as good as new...While waiting, I saw him interact with other customers in the same friendly, patient manner. Drew clearly cares about them and does the utmost for them. Even though See World Optics is a distance from where I am staying, it was well worth the time and travel because of the speed and quality of work and the unbeatable customer service. I highly recommend Drew and consider him my NY area optician.

- Judy Makovsky
I have been going to Drew for four years as a result of a recommendation from a good friend of mine. I have a very complicated prescription and was dissatisfied with the glasses I purchased elsewhere...Well, Drew had me re-examined and discovered I needed way more prism. As a result, he made me the best pair of glasses I ever had. Subsequently, he has made me many pairs of glasses. Whenever I had a problem or needed an adjustment, he has been the best.

- Arthur G.
See World Optics is a refreshing step back in time regarding service, and at the same time, See World Optics is a state-of-the-art facility when it comes down to the technical aspects of fitting corrective lenses. Drew is unique in as much as he evaluates the doctor's recommendations and may contact the doctor when it is in the best interest of the patient to modify the doctor's prescription...He also helps you find the frame that best fits your face. When it comes to eye care, the one-man-show approach to optics provides the best service and Drew is the very best at what he does.

- David R.
Last week, while at work, I dropped my glasses and then proceeded to step on them – dumb, right? Well I thought the frames were going to have to be replaced, but not so! Drew was able to repair the frames within minutes and saved me from having to purchase new frames. Thanks, Drew - you are the best!

- Gina C.
I had lost hope in repairing my very expensive reflection-free, thinned out Varilux lenses that I ruined by improperly cleaning them...I walked into See World Optics and met Drew, who is very friendly and knowledgeable. To my great surprise, he repaired them in a matter of seconds. I could see clearly! I am so grateful. I never felt rushed or pressured into buying anything. I will recommend See World Optics to all my family and friends. Thank you, Drew!

- Elizabeth
He [Drew] said they’d be ready the next day. However, to my surprise, there was a voicemail a few hours later from Drew, informing me that my sunglasses were fixed and ready. I went the next day to pick them up and tried them on. They were perfect! To top it off, he did it all for no charge. Thank you so much, Drew!

- Alicia P.
Drew explained [that] he crafts the lenses himself on-site, which is unusual these days. Met Drew and was introduced to Dr. Sigman. He was quite detailed in making sure he asked all the questions to know about my vision and changes since my last checkup...I’m very pleased with the service thus far. Hopefully we will develop a lifelong relationship.

- Freda L.
I went to See World Optics a week ago to repair my Vera Wang eyeglasses after a screw came out. Drew was welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable plus efficient as he fixed my glasses within 10 minutes. I was so worried I would have to purchase a new pair or the replacement piece would have to be ordered but since Drew makes glasses in his shop – he had what I needed. Best of all, the service was free. Drew was great to work with! Not only can you get your eyes checked here but you can buy / create your own custom eyewear in store. Definitely recommend this store and Drew.

- Lisa V.
I needed new frames for my bifocals – difficult to find since the glasses were 3 years old...Drew was able to help me to find the right frames, with my specific requirements and put together my new bifocals while I waited. Customer service was great and he told me that I can come back any time for an adjustment. Definitely found a new person for making my glasses. Highly recommended!

- Peter P.
Excellent...Drew accommodated my special request and was even able to finish it a day early. No complaints here!

- EC
Spoke to Drew over the phone. He was so friendly and willing to help, and even told us how to get there from Brooklyn.

He has every sort of frame listed...Frames from the 70s, 80s, 90s, frames made in Germany and India , as well as plastic and metal frames (real gold frames too). It was a great experience...Well worth it.

- Jemise W.
He assured me he could fix the glasses and they would be just like new. He kept his word and I had my glasses back within 24 hours. Job completed for a very reasonable price. Thank you!

- Chris S.
Drew has done my glasses since the late 80s...He has a great selection and a great sense of what will work best. I wouldn’t even consider going anywhere else. Can’t wait to pick up my new glasses!

- SC
 For those of us who wear glasses and are as hard on the frames as I am, having a place where they can be expertly and quickly repaired on the spot, is an indispensable asset. Drew of See World Optics provides this valuable service. I have found many ways of breaking my frames but Drew always found a way to repair them, even when it seemed hopeless...If you are looking for an optician to make a pair of glasses or to repair the one you have, you will not find a better person than Drew. And you will have spent a very pleasant bit of time with a most delightful individual. I have yet to walk out of his store without feeling amazed, relieved and my spirits lifted.

- Judy M.
... I recently had lenses made for my coin-silver frames here in San Francisco. Unfortunately one of the rivets holding the temple in place almost fell out...I emailed See World Optics some photos and hoped for the best. Drew called me back and took on the challenge. Mailing my glasses was actually easier and cheaper than a trip into the city. A week after mailing them, I had an expert repair done (at a reasonable price) and my glasses are better than before. See-World Optics is the place for specialized eyewear work.

- Alan B.
...Drew definitely puts customer service first and I really appreciate that. Sometimes you walk into a shop, and no one even acknowledges your presence. That will never happen in Drew’s store. Definitely come into this shop for whatever repair you may need, or even if you need a new pair of glasses.

- Sara B.
Great service, very helpful , nice and friendly. Also, very knowledgeable...I recommend Drew for any of your eyeglass needs.

- Nv S.
He’s absolutely amazing! And what’s more - the price was incredibly reasonable! Drew truly is an expert eyeglass technician, loves what he does, and is honest - one you can really put your trust in. I loved those glasses and he knew it, which is why he went out of his way to try and help me revive them any way possible.

- DC
...He is friendly, patient, professional, and very honest, which is a rarity nowadays. He has gone above and beyond for me every single time I’ve visited him, providing a world-class level of customer service that in my experience is unmatched by far. His “bedside manner” is absolutely unparalleled and I would highly recommend him to anyone without any sort of reservation. Just go there once and you’ll see what I mean!

As long as See World Optics is in business and I need glasses, there is absolutely nowhere else I would go for, hands down.

- George A.
Having just moved to New York, I had no idea where to go when my frames broke. Fortunately, I found Drew at See World Optics. Within minutes of walking in he assured me he could mend my frames and he did! Drew is highly knowledgeable and will take incredible care of you. If he can’t fix it, he’ll find some solution.

- Paru R.
...I called Drew in a panic to see if he could get my lens prescription up to a local shop in hopes of being fitted on the fly with new lenses. Though See World Optics is always busy on a Saturday, he took time out to make it happen. Unbelievable! See-World Optics really is the best, and I appreciate it just as much even living here.
