Prescription Glasses in Brooklyn, NY
Eye exams, designer frames and custom prescription lenses finished in our in-house lab at 187 Avenue U — most vision and medical insurance accepted.
Mega Vision Center has been making prescription glasses for Brooklyn families since 1998. Everything happens under one roof on Avenue U: your eye exam, your frame selection, your lens measurements and the lab work that turns them into a finished pair of glasses.
Every prescription starts with a comprehensive eye exam. Our optometrists use in-house diagnostic technology to verify your refraction and rule out the eye conditions that quietly change vision — dry eye, glaucoma, cataracts and retinal disease. An accurate prescription is the difference between glasses you wear and glasses you leave in a drawer.
From there, an optician fits the frame to your face rather than the other way around: bridge width, temple length, pantoscopic tilt and how the frame sits against your cheeks and brows. That fit determines whether progressives feel natural and whether a strong prescription looks thin.
Because we run our own edging lab, we control quality and turnaround. Many single-vision prescriptions are ready the same day, and adjustments, nose-pad replacements and screw repairs are always free for glasses purchased with us.
Prescription Lens Options We Offer
Single Vision Lenses
The most common prescription lens, ground for one viewing distance to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism.
Progressive (No-Line) Lenses
Distance, intermediate and reading zones blended into one lens, digitally surfaced and measured to your exact pupil position.
High-Index Thin Lenses
Ideal for stronger prescriptions — noticeably thinner and lighter edges so strong Rx glasses still look sleek.
Anti-Reflective & Blue-Light Coatings
Cuts glare from headlights and screens, improves night driving and reduces eye strain during long computer days.
Photochromic (Transitions) Lenses
Clear indoors, darkened in sunlight — one pair of prescription glasses that doubles as prescription sunglasses.
Polycarbonate & Sports Lenses
Impact-resistant prescription lenses for kids, athletes and anyone who needs safety eyewear in Brooklyn.

How It Works
From Eye Exam to Finished Glasses
1. Eye Exam & Prescription
Our optometrists perform a comprehensive exam with in-house diagnostic technology to confirm an accurate, current prescription.
2. Frame Selection
Browse hundreds of designer and value frames with an optician who matches shape, fit and lifestyle to your face and Rx.
3. Precision Measurements
We measure pupillary distance, seg height and vertex distance so your lenses are centered exactly where you look.
4. In-House Lab Finishing
Many prescriptions are cut, edged and mounted in our own Brooklyn lab — often the same day — then fitted and adjusted for free.
Serving Brooklyn Neighborhoods
Our Avenue U optical is a short trip from Gravesend, Sheepshead Bay, Bensonhurst, Homecrest, Midwood, Marine Park, Bath Beach, Brighton Beach, Coney Island, Borough Park and Dyker Heights. We are steps from the Avenue U subway and bus stops, with evening and weekend hours for patients who work during the day.
Prescription Glasses FAQs
How much do prescription glasses cost in Brooklyn?
Cost depends on your frame, lens material and coatings. We carry value frames alongside designer collections, and most vision plans cover a frame allowance plus lenses. Bring your insurance card and we will price your options before anything is ordered.
How fast can I get my prescription glasses?
Because we finish many jobs in our on-site lab, single-vision prescriptions are often ready the same day. Progressives, high-index and specialty coatings usually take a few business days.
Can you use a prescription from another doctor?
Yes. Bring a valid, unexpired prescription (including your pupillary distance if you have it) and we will fill it. If it has expired, we can perform an exam on-site the same visit.
Do you make glasses for kids?
We do. We stock durable kids frames and fit them with impact-resistant polycarbonate lenses, and we handle adjustments and repairs as they grow.
