I don't know why I haven't left a review before! My family have been coming to Park Slope Eye since it opened, at least 10 years ago, and have gotten meticulous care and attention in every instance. My husband and I wear progressives and my 3 (now adult) kids wear both glasses and contacts. We also have sunglasses, computer glasses, and reading glasses among us. I've always had trouble with glasses, a particularly hard time adjusting to progressive lenses, even picking out the right frames. Dr Bazan and his staff have been incredibly patient in helping me get it right. It was a great relief to find a practice that took as much time as necessary during the exam, and was patient enough during fitting (and occasional refitting.) I have a favorite story about service. Several years ago I found out I was leaving for Spain just before a set of new glasses and sunglasses were ready. Dr Bazan took the address of my hotel and had them shipped to me overnight. We had a few comedic days during which the Spanish postal service refused to deliver them - I still don't know why - and I was on and off the phone with PS Eye until we tracked them down and were finally able to prove the package's innocence. The best part was the amount of laughter during this little adventure. Excellent care, great service and lovely people!

I've been going to Park Slope Eye for years - included for my post lasik appts during COVID; as friendly as always, informative, and very efficient appointment. Thanks!

Dr. Lin is amazing! He's gone above and beyond for me. Even stayed late to made sure I received premium care when I had an eye infection. I went to an urgent eye care place and they prescribed me the wrong medication and I could've consequently had MAJOR PROBLEMS had I not sought Dr. Lin's opinion. He's the absolute best and cares so much. He's extremely knowledgeable and courteous. Fantastic with kid appts. Aaron is also amazing and quick with emails. If you're in/near Downtown Brooklyn this office is the best!

Friendly staff! Dr. Derek Lin is fantastic. He patiently explained the causes of dry eyes and walked me through both immediate and potential treatment options. I highly recommend this clinic!

I highly recommend Park Slope Eye. Dr. Lin is extremely thorough—it was the most comprehensive eye exam I’ve ever had. I’m glad a friend pointed me to Park Slope Eye.

The little extras

Helpful, on purpose.

Small things that make eye care easier.

Your prescription is yours

When a refraction (the test that determines your glasses prescription) is performed, we provide your eyeglass prescription; when a contact lens fitting is complete, we provide your contact lens prescription. You never have to purchase glasses or contact lenses from Park Slope Eye to receive the prescription.
Your PD, complimentary

Need your PD? Don't feel bad about asking for it. We get it. We got you.

Already have a PD measurement on file with us? Just ask! We're happy to share it with you. No awkward questions, no pressure, and no judgment.
Running low on contacts?

Email us and we will help get you free trials to hold you over till your exam.
Contact lenses are one of our favorite things to get right.

We keep thousands of contact-lens trial lenses in the office, including broad and full fitting sets, so we can often try even high or complicated prescriptions the same day.
Explore contact lens care
Bring your glasses to your exam

Bring your current glasses to your annual eye exam. We will clean them, check their fit, make adjustments and help with small repairs when safely possible, even if you bought them elsewhere. Heck, if you need a new case, cleaning cloth and spray, just let us know. We are happy to hook you up! Major repairs, specialized parts and lab work are separate.
Heading out of town?

Big bottles of multipurpose solution aren't convenient for travel, and we know how expensive those travel kits can be! We got you. Stop by for a complimentary contact starter kit which is ideal for travel!
A DMV vision test, included

A New York DMV vision test is included at no additional charge as part of an annual comprehensive eye exam at Park Slope Eye. Current patients who already completed their annual exam here also receive the test at no separate charge.

As of October 2026, other providers charge up to $49.

DMV driver license renewal fees are separate. This is a complimentary established-patient benefit, not a standalone free public screening service.
