And since you’re going to be wearing them on a regular basis, it’s important to really love what you pick out.

The practice is currently open and has implemented health and safety measures so that you can find exactly what you need without stress or worry.
Plus, they are offering Hoboken Girl readers 30% off one pair of eyeglasses {frames and lenses} — just mention Hoboken Girl when shopping. Read on to learn more about this boutique retail + optometry practice that has been in Hoboken for over 30 years.
Drs. Randy Kansky and Beverly Hochstadt-Kansky met in 1980 while they were studying at The New England College of Optometry in Boston, MA and came to Hoboken to start their business after graduating. Eyeshapes Hoboken became a premier optometric office due to the superior care, state of the art equipment, large optical boutique, and knowledgeable staff.
They’ve been serving residents — some who continue to come for their eye appointments even after moving out of Hudson County — ever since.
End of Year Appointments
Many employers offer access to Flexible Spending Accounts, also known as FSA, which let you spend pre-tax dollars on eligible healthcare products and services. You can use FSA dollars to pay for medical expenses that might not be covered by a health plan, like co-pays, deductibles, and vision care, But if it’s nearing the end of the year and you haven’t used your money to help meet your deductible or pay medical expenses, you have the option of spending it on items such as new glasses.
Optometry Services + Eyewear
Eyeshapes Hoboken is considered a one-stop-shop for all eyewear and optometry needs. The doctors recommend regular eye and vision examinations, as it’s an important step in preventive health care. Most eye and vision problems don’t have any obvious signs or symptoms and as a result, patients can be unaware that problems exist.
The 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 offer great eyewear from designers you know, and some you’ve never heard of. But don’t worry, if you get them from Eyeshapes Hoboken, it’s cool before everyone else knows it is,” Dr. Kansky told us about the collections available.
Glasses help create a unique image and should not only fit properly but also compliment the shape of your face and your lifestyle. The team at Eyeshapes Hoboken help make sure that the frames you choose are all around perfect for your individual needs. “We believe that glasses {prescription or not} should be in-style and part of your fashion game,” the Kansky’s told us.
