“First, we want to say Thank You, It has been an honor and a pleasure to provide eye care in Hoboken for the past 37 years. We appreciate that you chose us as your optometrists.
We appreciate that in addition to caring for your vision we have often talked about food, travel, sports, and music. Some of you came to us as children, and now bring your own children to see us. The original name of our practice was Family Eye Care Associates. In these 37 years, you have become part of our family.
The last few years have brought some big changes. We saw that life can be unpredictable. We decided it was time to slow down. This year also brought a big change when Jimmy decided to move back to Albany.
We started looking for someone to take over the practice, but we insisted it be someone who would continue to give our patients the care they deserved. We planned to stay on to help with the transition and help the new doctor to join the family. We thought we had found a good fit, but after many months of negotiations we realized that it was not. Our patients deserved better. We kept looking, and did find someone who would have been a good fit. Unfortunately, we were just informed that personal family matters have forced them to withdraw.
A few weeks ago we stopped scheduling appointments. The new doctor had planned some renovations, and asked us not to announce the change in ownership until the deal was completed. We apologize for any inconvenience.
In light of these sudden developments we have made the difficult decision to close the office. Our current lease expires at the end of August. Until then, we won’t be scheduling any appointments, but we will be filling your contact lens orders and having lenses sent direct to you. Eyeglass orders will continue until the end of July.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call or stop in. We’d appreciate the opportunity to say thank you in person.
With much gratitude, Drs Randy and Beverly Kansky.”
About Eyeshapes
Eyeshapes Hoboken is a one-stop shop for all your eyewear and optometry needs. Drs. Randy Kansky and Beverly Hochstadt-Kansky met in 1980 while studying at The New England College of Optometry in Boston, MA, and started their business in Hoboken shortly after graduating. Eyeshapes Hoboken became a premier optometric office because of the quality care, state-of-the-art equipment, trendy optical boutique, and caring staff.
This doctor duo diagnoses and treats many eye health issues including eye allergies, red eyes, dry eyes, removal of foreign bodies, glaucoma, cataracts, conjunctivitis, diabetic retinopathy, and much more. The office also provides LASIK vision correction.
The eyewear boutique has a large selection of collections such as Tom Ford, Dior, Lacoste, Calvin Klein, Kate Spade, Nike Eyewear, Gucci, and more. You’ll also find other affordable luxury brands like Donby&Nessole, Res/Rei, and SuperRetroFuture.
“We believe that glasses, prescription or not, should be in-style and part of your fashion game,” the Kanskys shared with HG.
