“Great experience. Dr. Tracy was attentive, patient, and thorough. The staff didn’t pressure me at all to buy, in fact they matched prices and ordered many samples for me to look at. It was a great experience overall. ” – Terry, via Google Places
“The patience, persistence, care and skill you displayed during my exam…resulted in the best lenses I have ever had.”- R. Wiesen
“The best in the city, hands down. I have major astigmatism. Dr. Tracy has been incredibly patient, investigative and has solved my problems over and over with specialized contacts. His pricing is more than fair. He is also extremely accessible. For his time, energy, perseverance and dedication, I literally owe it to him for allowing me to live a normal, productive and even highly athletic lifestyle. He is what healthcare should be. Highly recommended!”- Pierre F., via Yelp
“I picked up my glasses on Saturday. Wow! what a difference.I strayed to another optometrist for the sake of insurance coverage and suffered mightily for what turned out to be a paltry savings. The service was miserable, their care unprofessional. Your testing, help with frame selection, and subsequent fitting, perfect. I’m back and here to stay.”
- Louis G.
“Thank you very much for all your care in fitting my glasses. I greatly appreciate your patience and persistence to assure the proper fit.”
- Thomas C.

- Rev.Eugene Connelly
“Highly recommended. I’ve been a loyal patient of Dr. Tracy’s for over 25 years. I trust him implicitly— he’s knowledgeable and experienced; has utmost integrity; is conscientious, kind and patient; takes the time and whatever steps are necessary – an honorable gentlemen. His practice feels like “a family business” – truly personal service as well as accommodating. That’s not easy to come by anymore, especially in New York City.”- Barbara V.
“In the past, I’ve felt like someone thrown into a conveyor belt with zero human interaction from doctors and their staff. Not here. Dr. Tracy took his time during the exam. He made it a fun/painless process and answered any questions I had. The front office staff was just as pleasant. They helped me find new frames that were extremely fun and fashionable. I left with designer frames and none of the designer store snootiness. A cool side note — he was John Lennon’s NYC optometrist!”- Al R., via Yelp
“Even Santas need eyecare! Roger’s been a client and friend since the 1970s, when he dropped by my first store on Columbus Avenue. Roger was a West Side institution even then, as Officer Krupke in the original West Side Story. By the way, Roger’s frames are based on an authentic 17th century design.” – Dr. Tracy on Roger Franklin; Santa Claus; actor; client since the 1970′s
“I’d never worn contact lenses before. Dr. Tracy fitted me with different lenses to find the best. It turned out that my eyes are extremely sensitive, and worked best with chemical-free solutions. It’s amazing how much time and care he took to get it right.“- Doris Loayza, expressive arts educator; patient since 2007
“When I moved to Manhattan from Atlanta in 1995, I needed a good optometrist and found Dr. Tracy. I’ve been seeing him ever since. Thanks to Dr. Tracy, I can actually see the words I pen!”- Russell Clay, poet; patient since 1995
“I was initially intrigued by the Time Out article that Dr. Tracy was John Lennon’s optometrist while he lived in NYC. I ended up purchasing 2 pair of glasses (sunglasses and regular).The staff was very friendly, helpful and understood my needs. There was a great selection of stylish frames too. I will be back for sure!”- C.T., via Yelp
“Dr. Tracy is an incredibly caring, congenial, and gifted doctor. Russell and I are fortunate to know him.”- Stephanie Cowell, novelist; patient since 1995
“Dr. Tracy has been my eye-doctor nearly my whole life.  He is the BEST!  I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my vision.  He is endlessly patient and takes the time to explain things and be sure you are completely happy… He genuinely cares about his patients’ eye health and comfort.  If there are any problems with my contacts, he is happy to exchange them or try to help me figure out a solution, which is invaluable.  Everyone in his office is extremely friendly and helpful.  I’ve bought several pairs of glasses in addition to being a regular contact lens customer, and had a great experience.  He is one of the best optometrists.  I highly recommend him!” - Nicole P.
“I love Dr. Gary! He is a wonderful, informative, patient, kind and knowledgeable doctor. I can’t say enough good things about my eye exam. The employees of the store are wonderful as well. The selection of frames are definitely well edited and stylish.”- Meghan  L., via Yelp
“As a film director, I rely on Gary to keep my sight sharp. He’s always on top of the latest technology and innovations.”- Pamela Yates; filmmaker; patient since 1995
“My college-age daughter had problems with contacts not solved by a previous doctor who, in her words, “blew her off.” Dr. Tracy spent a lot of time with her and switched her to a more appropriate lens. We also both bought frames – we were “wowed”by the selection for both our age groups. Excellent help by the staff. I will be sending my husband there next!”- Elizabeth P., via Yelp
He tested and fitted me with my first pair of glasses (ever) and I found his manner thoroughly professional and reassuring.- Danny J, via Yelp
“Dr. Tracy is hands down the best optometrist I’ve ever had, and I’ve been seeing optometrists for over 35 years. He is the first, and only, optometrist who took the time, care and patience to find me a pair of contact lenses I could live with. He kept giving me different pairs to try on, until he found the perfect pair. No other doctor has ever done that for me. It broke my heart that I had to leave him behind in NY when I moved to San Diego. May the universe help me find my new Dr. Tracy!”- George
“I am a long time loyal patient. Dr. Tracy is exceptional and his staff friendly and helpful. I don’t mind paying for service and quality product, and I get both here. His recommendation to switch to daily lenses was spot on, a perfect solution for my lifestyle.”- Kenneth M, via Yelp
“I’m a college student and have been seeing Dr. Tracy for about 10 years. He and his staff are top-notch — extremely friendly and caring. You really feel taken care of there. His exams are very thorough and their products very high-quality. I have referred numerous friends. I am very active into sports and they always set me up with the most up-to-date contact lenses. They also recommended me a golf/tennis-specific Rudy Project sunglass frame with interchangeable lenses, which I absolutely love!”- Steve M., via Yelp
“I just wanted you to know how completely happy I have been with my Minima glasses. They are so light you hardly know you are wearing them. Thanks very much to you and your staff for making this possible.”- Louis G.
“In the 3 years that I have seen Dr. Tracy, I have been impressed by his commitment to both my sight and the health of my eyes. I think he’s a great doctor. When I first tried my contacts, I thought they were “good enough.” But he wanted to see them on me. It turned out that “good enough” could be better. He takes time to explain things to me during my exams. I now know what happens in my eyes because I have astigmatism. And his staff took quite a bit of time to teach me to put in and take out my contacts.”- Katherine E., via Yelp
“Dr. Tracy is wonderful!I have been going to him for 10 years and would not trust anyone else with my prescriptions. Everyone takes such good care of you with patience, expertise and warmth. He has a great reputation.”- from Superpages.com
“I and my family have been going to Dr Tracy for years. His exams are very thorough and he explains and answers questions as he goes along. Most recently he has added great new lines of frames to choose from, and his staff is very friendly and helpful. It’s actually fun going to this Dr.’s office!”
“By far the best optometrist, staff, selection of glasses and service. I had a problem with my lenses and they remade them.” – Joseph
“I’ve been seeing Dr. Tracy for 16 years, for exams, contacts, glasses, everything. I can’t imagine a better eye doctor. He’s incredibly thorough with his exams and fittings. And the store has a cool selection of frames. Chains are convenient, I guess, but I’d rather entrust my eyes to someone who offers personal service and knows my history.”- Mitchell Teplitsky, filmmaker; patient since 1992
“I have been wearing glasses for most of my life and have seen quite a few optometrists but Dr Tracy is the most knowledgeable I have ever met. I stopped wearing contact lenses because it made my eyes red and watery, because of Dr Tracy I can look cute again when I am going to a special occasion because he found me the right pair. Not cheap but worth every penny.” – Pamela H.
“Dr. Tracy’s prescription improved my vision substantially. I enthusiastically recommend him.”- Len M.Len came to me after several ophthalmologists told him his vision couldn’t be improved. He had many problems, including a detached retina, glaucoma and need for a corneal transplant. We went to work with an exhaustive series of tests. Len’s vision went from 20/100 to 20/50.  - Dr. Tracy
“I fell in love with Dr. Tracy’s service a dozen years ago. I was just a poor student then, but he treated me as well as he did John Lennon, I’m sure! He was patient, thorough, and down-to-earth. Great quality and service at reasonable prices. We need more folks like Dr. Tracy!”- Helen Ng; patient since 1998
