“It sounds crazy but we have eyeglasses in the back of my Tesla,” said Israel Hochman, founder and owner of My Glasses Guy, who brings his luxury concierge mobile optical shop straight to your door. He was on his way to Passaic from Teaneck for an appointment with a customer, and from there he was headed to Brooklyn. But it’s all in a day’s work for this Suffern-based optician.
With carefully constructed, patented rolling showcases and shelves that slide right out from his van, My Glasses Guy regularly transports a magnificent display of 600-700 pairs of the most fashion-forward eyewear in the industry, and a much bigger variety than you would find in your typical optical shop.
In fact, My Glasses Guy is a bona fide boutique eyewear shop carrying the finest in high-end frames handmade in Italy, Spain and France, from top designers like Brett Eyewear Haffmans Neumeister, and perennial favorite Leisure Society. My Glasses Guy also carries an impressive selection of handmade titanium frames from some of Japan’s most exclusive eyewear brands including Blake Kuwahara, Matsuda, Masunaga, Balmain, Eyevan and Akoni.
“These days, glasses aren’t just used to improve vision. The industry has completely transformed, with top designers using high-end manufacturing processes to deliver exceptional quality eyewear in styles you never imagined,” said Hochman.
When you’re ready for your next pair of eyeglasses, simply visit www.myglassesguy.com and schedule an appointment. Hochman will need to see your prescription to determine which glasses can accommodate it. He will then ask clients what they are looking for in eyewear and how they will be using their eyeglasses. Would a customer prefer a metal frame or plastic one? What kinds of activities will that customer be doing while wearing his or her glasses? Is the customer looking for something more casual or more formal? Hochman will assist customers in choosing frames that fit both their prescription and lifestyle.
Because eyeglasses sit front and center on your face, it is important to take great care in choosing a pair that is both flattering and feels very comfortable. A good quality frame should be so comfortable that you forget you are wearing it. So don’t be afraid to go for that extra special pair of glasses. When you have a quality frame that is comfortable and makes you feel good, it will last a lot longer
While some people prefer plastic frames, many have also come to rely on titanium ones because they offer comfort that few other frames can offer. Besides being extremely durable—they almost never require adjustments—titanium frames are also considerably lighter than other frames—around 40% lighter than your typical steel frames and often 50% lighter than the average plastic frames. Titanium is also a hypoallergenic material. “The grade of titanium used by most of the brands that I carry is of surgical steel quality,” said Hochman. In addition, titanium frames are very stylish and flattering.
It takes about a week for your new glasses to arrive in the mail and once they do, simply try them on. If they do need some adjusting, just click again to schedule another appointment and My Glasses Guy will swing by. Or feel free to stop by the showroom located right in Suffern, New York.
