Metropolitan Optical

My first ever eye exam was done at Metro Optical. This place was so clean and had an amazing atmosphere. The front desk woman was very kind and explained all processes nicely. The tech who took tests on my eyes was nice as well. The actual eye doctor was so sweet and cheerful I would recommend anyone do business with her. She explained everything so intelligently and in a digestable way, I would go back to her for any other eye exam I need. The worker who helped pick out glasses was also a very swell guy. He was kind when explaining costs and helping find the right pair of glasses. I recommend anyone who needs to get their eyes checked out to come here!

Thank you, Dee, for always helping me select such fashionable eyewear! We always have a spiritual encounter every time I visit! Also, I enjoyed meeting Dr. Asha Vyas for the first time, who was extremely thorough. Thank you!

This is the best Optimetrist Ive been to in the DC area. I was previously at a Visual Affair and had a negative experience with their staff. I was looking for somewhere else and came across Metropolitan Óptical on Zocdoc. The staff was incredibly friendly. I was greeted as soon as I arrived. I came pretty early, but they made sure that I got my tests out of the way early and then I saw the doctor. My appointment was quick and efficient, but I also learned things about my eys that I hadn't known before. I also have a lot of anxiety with my eye, but they helped me breathe through the various tests that often are a challenge for me. Every staff member I interacted with was fantastic. I will definitely be returning!

I’ve seen Dr. Ayalew for over a decade and I highly recommend her and her medical assistants. They have magical tricks for putting drops in my eyes when needed and for doing the tests. Someone wrote in a review when I was deciding where to go that Dr. Ayalew could tweak the prescription so that it was like seeing in HD and it’s very true! She is very understanding and has such a nice and calm manner. For picking out glasses I highly recommend Dee (at the Penn Ave location) and Emma (who is sometimes at the Penn Ave location and sometimes at the 18th St location). Both are so sweet and honest when helping you pick out appropriate frames and lenses. This time I got computer glasses for the first time, which are fantastic for being able to see multiple screens at work at a medium distance and my phone closer up. Dee patiently explained the choices in lenses and frames and expertly adjusted the frames to fit my small face. Thanks!

Everyone here is so kind and took the time to explain everything to me and talk through various options. Dee was so wonderful helping me pick out a stylish, affordable pair of frames!

I received a late bill for an exam and June was so gracious in making sure I did not have to incur the cost. She took care of the issue immediately and provided great customer service! Thanks June

Dr. Stupiansky is great! Fast yet thorough and takes the time to answer all my questions. Her staff are super helpful. It's always complicated navigating insurance for purchasing glasses and contacts. Her staff know all the ins and outs of different insurance companies (they've worked with me on two insurers). They've helped me get insurance authorization needed, and when insurance hasn't covered, they've shared rebate options available. I've previously had difficult experiences with other optometrists, so it was a relief to find Metropolitan Optical!

Dr. Stupiansky is fantastic. Her exam was very thorough and she explained a lot more than I’ve ever had another Optometrist do. The rest of the staff was also great and they fixed some of my older glasses that I got at a different company. Highly recommend.

Wonderful practice, from Dr. Stupiansky to all of the staff members. Everyone was helpful and professional, and made sure I understood my health information. Great location and overall great practice- would highly recommend!

I had a great experience with this optical team. They were very attentive about my eye needs and my person style. I learned so much about MY eyes that I never knew just by the kindness and patience from Dr. Stupainsky and I’ve worn glasses/contacts for over 12 years!

I’ve been to my fair share of optometrists in my 20 years of wearing glasses and Dr. Stupiansky is fantastic. Incredibly nice, and explains everything clearly. Couldn’t ask for more.

Dr. Stupiansky is amazing. She is very thorough, knowledgeable, and caring. The staff is also professional and friendly, and nobody tried to upsell anything on our first visit recently. My daughter and I felt very comfortable.

Dr. Stupiansky is brilliant and her staff are so kind! They've curated a really versatile collection of glasses and know exactly how to pick glasses for different people/faces in an impressively short time. Not to mention, they're not a big monopoly and the owner is a really good person. I can't imagine going anywhere else now.

The people at Metropolitan Optical, especially Mr. Paul Allen, are so welcoming, kind, and knowledgeable. I have spent four years living in D.C. while studying at university, and have always had difficulties with my glasses fitting properly given my complex lenses. I likely visited their office nearly two dozen times throughout my time in college, and was always assisted and treated with patience. If you are looking for an optometry office in the District, Metropolitan Optical should be your first choice!

Great! Experience. =D Once i walked in i was greeted, Signing papers are the old age because they have a tablet to sign and mention any medical issues or past records you may have. (Paperless) Stephanie is so kind and sweet, the machines they have, gave them perfect details of my eye. (Keep up the good work) DR. Stupiansky , showed me a detail picture of my eye and explained what I have... she is nice and polite. Can't forget about Paul , he help me pick a perfect titanium frame that suite me well. ( how he knew I like titanium..) Overall I recommend coming here for an eye exam and or frames . ( can bring in your own frames too, optional)
