James D. Auran, MD

Eye care in Midtown often feels like an afterthought until you actually need it. The neighborhood packs in more skyscrapers than optometrists, so finding a specialist who keeps regular hours can be a quiet victory. James D. Auran, MD, fits that slot neatly on the corner of 880 3rd Ave and 53rd Street, a block where the sidewalks stay busy but the waiting rooms somehow feel less crowded.

Offices here tend to favor efficiency over frills, and this one follows suit. A restroom is available for patients who need it, which is more than some clinics in the area can claim. The address—New York, NY 10022—places it squarely between corporate towers and lunch-hour foot traffic, so appointments can be slipped into a workday without much disruption.

When the next routine check or unexpected irritation rolls around, calling (212) 305-9535 is the quickest way to secure a slot. Directions are straightforward once you pull up the map, and the building’s glass doors open right onto the avenue.
