Dolnansky Arthur E

A quick turn to Arthur E. Dolnansky, the long-standing optician on West 34th, can resolve common issues with eyesight or your eyewear itself. Beyond routine exams, the store supplies prescription lenses, contact lenses with fitting, and repairs for frames you never realized could be rescued. Fashion-forward wearers find a rotating selection of sunglasses ready to clip on on the spot.

If you’re unsure which size actually fits, head to the 215 W 34th St., New York, NY 10001 address for a measured pupillary distance and lens alignment without delay. Children’s first pair, blue-light filter lenses, and sports goggles sit on neatly organized trays toward the rear corner—manageable steps away from the high-traffic sidewalk. Interested in a new tint without changing prescription? The same glasses can often be re-glazed rather than replaced.

After the measurements settle, drop any lingering questions at (212) 279-4826 before walking out with updated specs. You’ll avoid peering over readers or squinting at phone screens for at least another season once the numbers match your needs.
