Anthony provides one of the most curated, bespoke eyewear experiences I’ve ever had. I’ve been collecting eyewear for years, and after visiting countless opticians, I can confidently say he’s among the very best in New York City.
His professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to truly listen are exceptional. Rather than simply selling frames or lenses, he takes the time to understand the individual and carefully curates the perfect eyewear, for the individual skin type.

Anthony Aiden and team have been great to me with excellent service for 7 pairs of glasses over the years. Brandon, Austin, and Anthony have always pulled through on providing results I didn’t think possible and providing insight that helped me make decisions I sometimes needed their opinion on (which color looks best, combination of blue light or not etc). Thanks guys.
Dropped into the store on a Sunday after spending the weekend in NYC, not realizing appointments are recommended. Anthony let me in anyways and showed me his current selection of JMM frames in different color ways and lens options. After finding the perfect pair, he made adjustments to the frame on the spot for me to fit my face better as well as took down measurements for when I come back for custom lenses. Anthony was friendly and knowledgeable, highly recommend.
