Brb. I’m re-experiencing NYC for the first time…

because I CAN (FINALLY) SEE!

I don’t know about you, but being a 20 something (getting closer to 30 something, WHAT?) with adult responsibilities, schedule, and budget can occasionally lead to the neglect of priorities…

Case in point- when is the last time you scheduled yourself an eye exam?

For me, it had been literal YEARS since my last eye exam and even longer since an update of my prescription. And because I made it a 2019 goal to be the healthiest version of me and treat my body with more respect, I decided it was time to do something about it!

But being busy and on a budget weren’t my only hang ups in getting myself new glasses. To be honest, my frame game was in need of a complete overhaul, too…I mean my glasses were cute-7 YEARS AGO!!! Timeless style, versatility, and uniqueness are important to me and after WEEKS of research I discovered the diamond in the rough, the one-stop-shop, my answer to finding fabulous frames to seamlessly integrate into my wardrobe.

Cohen’s Fashion Optical

Though 100+ locations are sprinkled throughout 7 U.S. states and Puerto Rico, Cohen’s Fashion Optical fittingly calls New York City home to its fashionable frames and eye exams. Every location is uniquely operated yet each is harmoniously led with style, affordability, and the BEST customer care.

For me, visiting Cohen’s Fashion Optical in Midtown Manhattan (132 W 57th Street) was truly an experience unlike I’ve ever had before. From a warm welcome (even though we had never met), to a personal conversation with my optometrist (making me feel like more than just another patient), to having a one-on-one frame styling experience with my very own ALL KNOWING glasses expert, Andrea, I felt as special as the Dior frames staring back at me! After an hour of picking my brain to uncover my true sense of style, Andrea sent me home with 2 pair of designer frames perfectly matching my personality. Not only that, but she thoughtfully answered EVERY question I asked! I left not only with two new pair of designer glasses, but feeling like a part of the Cohen’s family, too.

Highlights of my Cohen’s experience include…

1. My doctor (Dr. Neil Cooper) taking the time to recommend additional eye care specialists specific to MY New York neighborhood. Talk about going above and beyond!

2. Feeling SO welcome in the Cohen’s Fashion Optical space the entire time it took me to decide which frames suit me best. In a city that is ALWAYS rushed, there was no rush around my experience; the staff was there to support ME.

3. I left my appointment feeling like a part of the Cohen’s family, with new friends, and a whole new view of the city!
