Eyeglasses in Manhattan Beach Brooklyn: Where Style Meets Vision Care
If you live in Manhattan Beach or nearby Sheepshead Bay and you're looking for eyeglasses that fit your style and prescription, you don't have to travel far. Vision Palace Optical is just a quick trip away on Avenue U, and we carry everything from affordable everyday frames to designer eyewear by Gucci, Prada, Tom Ford, and Dita. Whether you need your first pair of glasses or you're updating your collection, we'll help you find frames that work for your face, your budget, and your lifestyle.
Designer Frames in Brooklyn That Won't Break the Bank
Manhattan Beach residents appreciate quality, and the same goes for eyewear. At Vision Palace Optical, we stock designer frames including Gucci, Prada, Tom Ford, Dita, Versace, Burberry, Coach, Miu Miu, and Ray-Ban, right here on Avenue U in Sheepshead Bay. You'll get to try them on, adjust them, and see how they feel before you commit.
But designer doesn't mean you'll pay luxury prices. We work with most major insurance plans, including EyeMed, MetroPlus, Medicaid, and 1199SEIU, so your vision coverage may help offset the cost. Coverage varies by plan — call us or book through Zocdoc to verify your benefits before your visit.
Our frame selection also includes everyday, practical options for work, school, or sports. You'll find wraparound styles, rimless frames from Silhouette, and classic shapes from Alain Mikli and Mont Blanc. The point is: you get to choose what you actually want to wear.
Prescription Lenses That Do More Than Just Correct Your Vision
Once you've picked your frames, the real magic happens in the lenses. We offer several lens options that go beyond basic vision correction. If you spend long hours at a computer or on your phone (and who doesn't in Brooklyn), blue light lenses reduce glare and can ease digital eye strain. If you're dealing with astigmatism or presbyopia (age-related reading vision), we fit toric and multifocal lenses to handle those prescriptions accurately.
For people in Manhattan Beach who drive a lot, especially in evening or low-light conditions, Transitions Drivewear lenses are worth considering. They darken outdoors, stay lighter behind the windshield, and come with polarization to cut glare on the road. The American Academy of Ophthalmology recognizes light-adaptive lenses as a helpful tool for reducing eye strain in variable lighting.
We also offer Crizal anti-reflective coating, which removes the reflections in your lenses so people see your eyes, not a glare, and you see more clearly. It's especially useful if you work on video calls or you're in a lot of photos.
Eye Exams That Come Before Your Glasses
You can't get the right eyeglasses without the right eye exam. Our doctors, Dr. Julia Sheyko and Dr. Alexander Shlivko, both perform comprehensive exams that measure your exact prescription, check your eye health, and screen for conditions like glaucoma, dry eye, and retinal disease. We accept Medicaid, Medicare, EyeMed, MetroPlus, Fidelis Care, Cigna, Aetna, and many other plans.
An eye exam at Vision Palace Optical takes time. We don't rush you out the door. We want to understand how you use your eyes—whether you're reading, driving, working at a desk, or doing detailed work—so we can recommend lenses and coatings that actually improve your daily life. If you're from Manhattan Beach and haven't had an exam in a year or more, now's a good time to book one.
Getting to Vision Palace Optical From Manhattan Beach
We're located at 1723 Avenue U in Sheepshead Bay, which is just a few blocks from Manhattan Beach. If you're coming from Manhattan Beach, you can take Ocean Parkway north or head east on Avenue U. Parking is available, and we're open Monday through Saturday from 10am to 6pm. Walk-ins are welcome, and you can also book through Zocdoc if you prefer to reserve a time.
Why Choose Vision Palace Optical Over a Chain
We've been in the Sheepshead Bay and Avenue U neighborhood since 1995. That's 30 years of serving Brooklyn families, immigrants, working adults, and seniors. We speak English, Russian, and Spanish. We know the neighborhood, we know our patients, and we're not trying to upsell you on things you don't need. When you come in for eyeglasses, you're getting a real eye doctor who will spend time with you—not a retail worker handing you frames off a shelf.
Frequently Asked Questions
What insurance do you accept for eyeglasses in Manhattan Beach?
We accept EyeMed, MetroPlus, Medicaid, Medicare, Fidelis Care, 1199SEIU, Cigna, Aetna, EmblemHealth, BlueCross BlueShield, and many others. Coverage varies by plan — call us or book through Zocdoc to confirm your benefits before your visit. Some plans cover a portion of the frame cost and lens coatings, which can save you money.
How long does it take to get eyeglasses after my exam?
Once your prescription is finalized during your exam, we'll order your lenses and have them fitted into your chosen frames. The timeline depends on the lens type and coating you select, but we'll give you an estimate when you order. We'll call you when your glasses are ready.
Can I get a contact lens fitting instead of glasses?
Absolutely. We offer contact lens fittings for daily, monthly, toric, and multifocal lenses. Dr. Sheyko is certified in Paragon CRT (corneal reshaping), and both doctors fit a wide variety of contact prescriptions. If you want both contacts and glasses, we can do that too.
Do you carry Ray-Ban glasses in Manhattan Beach?
Yes, we carry Ray-Ban frames and are an authorized Ray-Ban dealer. We also have Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses available for try-on if you're interested in the built-in audio, camera, and AI features.
What's the difference between Varilux and Zeiss progressive lenses?
Both are excellent. Varilux (by Essilor) and Zeiss are the two leading progressive lens brands. Varilux offers models like Comfort Max for smooth transitions, while Zeiss lenses are known for precision optics and fast adaptation. Your prescription, frame size, and lifestyle will help us recommend which is better for you. We carry both, so you have options.
Do you fit children's eyeglasses in Manhattan Beach?
Yes, we see children ages 6 and up for eye exams and eyeglasses. Kids' frames are smaller and more durable, and we also offer Stellest lenses for myopia control if your child is showing signs of nearsightedness. Myopia progression can slow by up to 67% with Stellest lenses, according to clinical studies.
