What does a fashionable kid who loves science do when she grows up? She follows a pathway to medicine that incorporates style. She becomes an optometrist then opens a shop that carries beautifully designed shades and spectacles.
After years of working in the industry, Greenpointer Dr. Saniya Shoaib O.D., better known as “Sunny” blends full service high-tech eye care with innovative eyewear in Sunny Eye Shop (284 Driggs Ave).
She doesn’t just dole out eye exams and prescriptions. She will guide you to the right pair of glasses that functions while fitting your style because her passion for her work comes from getting to know her patients as much as helping them maintain healthy eyes.
Like all Greenpoint residents, Sunny appreciates good quality craftsmanship and so Sunny Eye Shop only carries handmade frames by independent eyeglass companies. It’s innovative designer eyewear in both style and material. You will not find any mass produced items here. You will “look smart” and “see happy” after a visit to Sunny Eye Shop, which is a welcome addition to the neighborhood.
Sunny Eye Shop is open Tues-Wed (10AM-7PM), Thurs-Fri (9AM-6PM), and Saturdays (10AM-4PM). Eye exam appointments (via ZocDoc) or by calling (718) 349-1205. Walk-ins upon availability.
