Your Neighborhood Eye Doctor in Midwood
Midwood families have trusted Mega Vision Brooklyn for comprehensive eye care since 1998, just a short drive south from the Avenue J shopping district and Brooklyn College.
Midwood is a neighborhood of students, growing families, and long-time residents — which means eye care needs that run the full spectrum, from a child's first pair of glasses to computer-strain relief for college students and medical eye care for older adults. Our doctors handle all of it: routine and pediatric eye exams, myopia management to slow nearsightedness in kids, contact lens fittings, dry-eye and allergy treatment, and screening for glaucoma, cataracts, and retinal disease.
We carry a wide selection of designer and kids' frames and accept most major insurance plans, including the vision plans common among Midwood's teachers, union members, and families — VSP, EyeMed, Davis Vision, UFT, Medicaid, and more. With several Russian-speaking doctors and a patient, family-first approach, we're a comfortable choice for Midwood's diverse community.
