Blending Compassionate
Eye Care & Cutting-Edge Tech in New York
Welcome to Benjamin Optical, where our legacy of exceptional eye care and stylish eyewear has been a pillar of the community since 1950.
Founded by Dr. Erwin Benjamin, a dedicated World War II veteran and visionary optometrist, we embarked on a mission to bring top-notch eye care and compassionate service to New York's heart.
From our humble beginnings on 116th Street, we've evolved into a beacon of eye health across New York and New Jersey, now with five locations thriving under the values Dr. Benjamin instilled. Visit us in Harlem, Brooklyn, Staten Island and Inwood.
Achieve Your Full Vision Potential With Our Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams go beyond the basics to offer a holistic assessment of your vision and eye health. From assessing your visual acuity and eye pressure to examining the health of your retina and optic nerve, we ensure every aspect of your eye health is carefully examined.
Medical Co-Management of Eye Disease
Dry eye syndrome can be a persistent source of discomfort and vision impairment, but it doesn't have to be. Our dry eye treatments address the root cause of dryness, ensuring lasting comfort and improved vision quality.
We help patients take control of nearsightedness through innovative solutions like Ortho-K, available at select locations. They are designed to slow myopia progression in children and adults, reducing the risk of associated conditions in the future.
