Grand Central Optical is a family-owned and operated business, established in 1924. Since the very beginning, we have prided ourselves on the quality products we carry and our outstanding customer service. We accept most insurance plans.

Our SAME-DAY SERVICE, where we can make up complex prescription glasses in just a couple of hours, makes us stand apart from other optical companies in Manhattan. Our onsite state-of-the-art lab allows us to fill orders in-house, to provide an exceptional quality product and exceptionally fast service.

Eye exams by our NY State licensed optometrists can be scheduled online or by phone. We offer a wide selection of exclusive and moderately-priced frames and a full range of contact lenses. We also carry the latest smart glasses including Meta's Ray-Ban and Oakley brands of AI glasses and Nuance Audio's hearing-enhanced eyewear with open-ear speakers built into the frames.
