Cliffside Park Eye Associates

I had a very pleasant experience at cliffside park eye associates. The staff and doctor were all very friendly and accommodating. Shortly after the exam I was fitted with a pair of excellent glasses that fit perfectly. I would definitely recommend seeing this eye care professional.

I’ve been going to Cliffside Park Eye Associates for many years and each time I have an excellent experience. The staff is very friendly and helpful and Dr. Van is top notch. He takes his time with each patient, explains what is going on with your eye health and gives recommendations to improve your vision and ocular health over your lifetime.
The office is neat, clean and newly renovated and they always have the newest equipment and technology to accurately assess your needs. I would highly recommend the entire team at CPEA for all of your eye care needs.

Dr. Van Vinciguerra is, hands down, one of the best eye care professionals around. I first went into the office for a severe corneal abrasion I woke up with one morning. The doctor came in early, and I left the office feeling almost completely better. I have been going to him ever since, and have always had the most wonderful care/​service. He really knows his stuff & also has an extremely knowledgable/​friendly staff. Highly recommend this doctor to everyone!

I had Lasix about 11 years ago and now my vision has started to regress. Not enough that I *need* to wear glasses, but enough that sometimes I prefer to wear them, so I got a pair of prescription sunglasses at Pearle Vision and given this shop is in my neighborhood decided to come and check it out. It shop looks rather boutique-​y and it’s right up the street from me. I walked in without an appointment, just to check it out, see what frames they have, etc.
Everyone there was very nice and friendly. I guess it was slow, so the doctor was out in the lobby area with the frames and talked with me about what my needs were. I didn’t need a prescription because I had already gotten an exam from my ophthalmologist, so I cannot really speak to the accuracy of the exam. I did end up buying glasses from him. I’m not really sure why though in retrospect. I think I felt a bit pressured to buy glasses after he spent so much time with me. He mentioned several times he was doing some measurements (pupillary distance) for me for free on the assumption I’d be buying glasses. I have a super simple prescription and the glasses were really expensive. That said, I do like the idea of supporting local businesses in the neighborhood rather than big chain eye doctors.
I’m not sure if I’ll go back here when I need to get new glasses or my prescription changes… the doctor does seem really knowledgeable and I have no doubt he has a lot of expertise, but the sales pitch felt pretty high pressure. If you do go, just know that you may get a bit of a high pressure sales pitch.
