Description

Specialties

Terri Optics specializes in providing the utmost quality and professionalism for our clients and patients. We have three optometrists on staff who work with patients with glaucoma, cataracts, and other various ocular issues. They also fit contact lenses and refract patients for eyewear prescriptions. Dr. Samantha Slotnick is a Behavioral optometrist, and she works with patients who require vision therapy for issues such as strabismus. We have two licensed opticians that can help you find the perfect frame for your face (remember: eyeglasses are like jewelry for the face!). We carry many luxury high-​end lines (Oliver Peoples, Dita, etc.) as well as economy lines. Stop by, today! We are open six days a week.

History

Established in 1954.

Joseph Gelsi, O.D. started this optometric practice in Dobbs Ferry in 1954. He was dedicated to providing quality vision care to all ages. Today, we continue his legacy. His eldest daughter, Teresa Gelsi, a New York state licensed optician, owns & operates Terri Optics. The tradition of excellence extends to our optometrists, Laurence Lonky, O.D., Sergio Marano, O.D., and Samatha Slotnick, O.D., F.A.A.O. At Terri Optics, we are proud to do what we love; serve the vision and eyewear needs of the community in a friendly, professional, progressive environment. In 2005, we renovated and transformed the old space to a bright, roomy eyewear gallery. It looks like a NYC, the collections are versatile and diverse, and we are right here in Westchester. We invite you to experience Terri Optics. From our doctors to our gallery, your experience here will be one to remember. Thank you for visiting us.

Went here previously years ago and wasn’t thrilled but my wife convinced me to go back as she goes here for her glasses and recently brought her mom and they were very happy. I have bad eyes and high prescription and need ultra thin transitional lenses. I was very happy with what I got– they gave a nice selection of modern frames, great service and they took the time to sit with me to get me what I wanted. This is what was missing from Warby Parker and why it pays to avoid chains and take care of your eyes.

I have been coming here ever since we moved to the area in 2001. Both of my children wear glasses and have been getting their eyes examined and buying their frames and lenses at Terri Optics since then. We have nothing but praise for their doctors (love Dr Lonky!), their frame selection and their service. When my daughter breaks her frames they are always ready to fix them at no cost. Look, you can buy your frames and lenses online somewhere but what happens when they break or need repair? Best of all, they are INDEPENDENT and LOCAL. They support our local sports teams and community. Why go anywhere else?

If you’re like me and have hit middle-​age, you’ve probably figured out that getting lenses that actually allow you to see is nothing like the quickie procedure it was in your 20s and 30s. I had tried everything — contacts, bifocal contacts, reading specs over other lenses — and had completely given up on being able to see well before I found Terri Optics.
I have to admit that I’m a cheapskate and a skeptic, so I had a certain amount of dread when I walked into the shop. It looks cool and fashionable so I figured I’d leave broke and blind, rather than just blind. But I’m now a convert.
Terri advised me to go with progressive lenses. She assured me that if I didn’t like them she would work with me so I wouldn’t get stuck paying for glasses I couldn’t use. And she showed me a bunch of gorgeous, hip frames that were closeouts and half price.
For the first time in years I can now see PERFECTLY at every distance, and I have a great new look. I am thrilled. Yes, by my standards it was expensive (about $ 800 total for designer frames, progressive lenses, and Transitions tinting that get darker in the sun so I only need one pair). But it’s been 2 ½ years and I haven’t spend another cent. What can I say?: So worth it. Just do it!
