At Konstantin, we believe eyewear should never be an afterthought. As NYC’s Destination for Designer Eyewear, we’ve dedicated ourselves to perfecting the art of optics.
25+ YEARS OF OPTICAL EXPERTISE
Located in the heart of Manhattan, Konstantin has been providing expert optical care and luxury eyewear since day one. Our legacy is built on precision fittings, high-touch service, and a curated selection of the world’s finest frames—from subtle sophistication to bold statement pieces.
At Konstantin, we believe exceptional care begins with time and attention. Our licensed optometrists are here to guide you—not rush you—through every step of your eye exam. From addressing your concerns to explaining your vision options in clear, simple terms, we make sure you feel confident and understood.
When it comes to finding the right eyewear, our experienced stylists and certified opticians are passionate about pairing you with frames that are as functional as they are fashionable. Whether you’re seeking timeless elegance or something daringly distinct, we’re here to help you discover the perfect fit—without pressure.
Our curated collection features over 3,000+ premium, handcrafted designer eyeglass and sunglass frames from the world’s most respected brands. You’re welcome to try on as many as you’d like at your own pace. If you change your mind later, we’ll gladly help you swap out your frame—or even your prescription lenses. Your satisfaction is our priority.
To ensure peace of mind, we offer a two-year warranty on all frames and select premium lenses. We also honor a six-month prescription guarantee, even if the prescription was written elsewhere. We’ll never leave you with a pair of glasses that doesn’t meet your expectations.
Thanks to our in-house lens lab and expansive inventory, we offer some of the fastest turnaround times in New York—including same-day service in as little as one hour.
We proudly feature independent and iconic brands known for exceptional design, premium materials, and technical mastery.
The search for the perfect designer frames begins with more than just style—it starts with fit, function, and a deep understanding of how shape and size complement your unique facial features. Our expertly curated collection spans a variety of frame geometries and materials, each chosen to harmonize with personal aesthetics and provide long-lasting comfort.
From featherlight memory titanium to flexible Ultem and refined TR90, every material offers a distinct balance of durability, weight, and visual appeal—allowing you to match your eyewear not only to your skin tone and color preferences but also to your everyday routine.
Your eyewear should be a seamless extension of who you are. Whether you’re navigating boardrooms or creating in the studio, your glasses should enhance—not hinder—your lifestyle. This includes ensuring premium lens quality. Our designer frames can be paired with high-performance lenses offering features such as:
Blue light filtration
Anti-reflective coatings
UV protection
Smudge-resistant and hydrophobic finishes
Easy-clean and scratch-resistant technologies
We customize your prescription—single vision, bifocal, or progressive—to meet your precise visual and stylistic needs.
Selecting the ideal frame is both an art and a science. A flattering shape enhances your natural features, while color and proportion bring your personal look to life.
Oval Faces: Naturally balanced and versatile, best complemented by bold, structured frames or wide silhouettes with distinctive bridges.
Round Faces: Angular or rectangular frames help add definition. Brands like Dita and Oliver Peoples offer streamlined shapes that contrast soft facial curves.
Square Faces: Rounded or oval frames help soften sharper features. Oliver Peoples excels in minimal round styles, while Dita frames offer a sophisticated counterbalance.
Diamond-Shaped Faces: Cat-eye and oval frames enhance cheekbones and soften angular lines. Face à Face designs offer sculptural forms that flatter this shape beautifully.
Heart-Shaped Faces: Frames with a wider base or bottom-heavy structure help balance a broader forehead. Barton Perreira offers graceful silhouettes tailored to this face type.
Color matters just as much as shape.
Warm Skin Tones: Best matched with hues like honey, olive, tortoise, and soft amber.
Cool Skin Tones: Shine in shades like black, silver, rose, plum, or gray.
Whether you’re drawn to avant-garde designs from Face à Face, timeless elegance from Oliver Peoples, or iconic styling from Gucci and Saint Laurent, our stylists are here to guide you toward eyewear that reflects your individuality.
This year’s standout eyewear trends blend vintage charm with bold innovation. Think oversized angular frames evoking the flair of the ’60s to ’80s, now reimagined with modern materials and bold finishes. Rounded, oval, and tortoiseshell patterns remain timeless, while geometric silhouettes—octagonal, hexagonal, and beyond—are redefining the cutting edge.
Color is also taking center stage, with transparent frames infused with vibrant hues, deep reds, and multicolor tortoiseshells making a statement. Transition frames and gradient palettes allow for even more personalization.
Minimalist styles remain strong, with clear frames and clean lines offering understated elegance for those who favor a refined aesthetic.
Forward-thinking brands like Dita, Barton Perreira, Ray-Ban, and Gucci continue to lead with boundary-pushing designs, luxury craftsmanship, and a commitment to both fashion and function.

Vision Science & Optical Expertise
Most optical stores offer an eye exam, pick a frame, and send you on your way. At Konstantin Vision, we do something fundamentally different — we engineer your eyewear around the exact demands of your eyes, your life, and your visual performance.
The standard is not enough. Hundreds of optical shops in NYC offer the same thing: a quick refraction, a wall of frames, and standard lenses. The result is eyewear that technically corrects your vision — but never optimizes it. If your glasses cause fatigue, glare, or that lingering "something feels off," the issue isn't your eyes. It's the approach.
"We specialize in premium customized vision solutions for professionals, executives, designers, architects, pilots, photographers, and anyone who demands the highest level of visual performance."
— Konstantin Vision & Eyewear Center, NYCStandard lenses are made for average eyes. Our biometric lens process factors in your exact corneal geometry, dominant eye, working distances, and posture for lenses designed specifically for you.
We use precision digital measurement technology to capture pupillary distance, vertex distance, pantoscopic tilt, and frame wrap — parameters that standard optical shops often skip or estimate.
From progressive corridor design to blue-light filtration and occupational zones, every lens is configured around how you actually use your eyes — not a one-size prescription.
Our licensed opticians bring deep fitting expertise to every pair — ensuring optical centers align precisely, temples sit correctly, and every adjustment is made with clinical intention.
After every build, we verify optical alignment before you leave. Vertex distance, pantoscopic tilt, and wrap angle are checked and corrected — because a misaligned lens defeats even the best prescription.
Frame selection is guided by face geometry, prescription demands, lifestyle, and personal aesthetic — not sales pressure. Our one-on-one styling consultations take the guesswork out of choosing eyewear you'll actually love wearing.
