Eye Care in Manhattan

Studio Optix offers the highest level of eye care for annual examinations and contact lens fittings as well as emergency care. We have an impressive selection of eyewear and laboratory on-site capable of same-day prescription eyewear.

We offer comprehensive examinations with a cost-effective, preventative approach. Our high-tech examination equipment guarantees exact measurements, resulting in the most accurate diagnosis possible to maximize your vision and eye health.
​​​​​​​

Beyond providing fast and precise analysis of your glasses prescription, we screen for and diagnose serious diseases in their earliest stages, from glaucoma, cataracts, and retinal detachment to diabetes, cancer, and hypertension. We also accommodate emergency eye care visits for infections, dry eyes, redness, allergies, injuries, abrasions, and more.

State of the Art Technology


Studio Optix stays at the forefront of technology and offers the most advanced testing equipment available for the health of your eyes. We are proud to offer the Optomap as part of our testing equipment. The Optomap allows our doctors an expanded view of the health of your retina. Your images are reviewed with you on the computer as part of the exam and changes through the years are documented. It speeds up your examination, replacing the need for dilation drops, post-exam blurriness, and sensitivity to light.
