Queens Vision Center

The stars given here are mostly for Dr. James Chuang, one of the most idolized doctors my brother and I have held as an example for countless years — the other stars are 1 – 3 front desk employees who are a bit hit or miss, depending on who is working at the time.
Regardless, Dr. Chuang really is someone that has brought in such a high level of respect and trust between patient (my brother and I) and physician, we know that we’re in good hands whenever we go to for our check-​up. It is difficult to compliment him enough because he always seems to do an exceptional job during our visits to the vision center. His soft-​spoken and sociable mannerisms only enhance his practice and as aspiring doctors, my brother and I highly appreciate his service. It leads me to no surprise that most, if not all, reviewers and patients of his will agree, Dr. Chuang is the highlight of Queens Vision Center.
Thank you Dr. Chuang and the staff of Queens Vision Center, see you soon.

Staff is friendly and helpful. But Dr. Chuang is the real superstar. He is so thorough with his exam and took the time to explain everything. Got my glasses done on spot so that was an extra plus.

Dr. Chuang is AWESOME! He will not try to sell you something you don’t need/​want. He is very knowledgeable and willing to share that knowledge with you. You will not feel rushed out of the room with him.
His front of the house staff on the other hand could use some «customer service» training. If it wasn’t for Dr. Chuangs’ awesomeness, I’d go elsewhere. At times, I found the staff not very helpful and rude to the customers.

The eye doctor was excellent and really explained everything clearly, honestly and expertly. He knows his stuff. He explained my perscription and why I needed it, and what type of glasses to get.
On a slight down side, some of the staff are not expert on lenses. I wanted transitions lenses but needed some advice. I had already done my research so it all worked out, but maybe the staff could brush up on their knowledge of transition type lenses.
However, the staff were friendly and helpful and were not in the slightest way pushy. I was given my written prescription immediately after the exam. (Some places try to avoid doing this to coerce you into buying their lenses, but not here.)
I would recommend this place and will be back again.

Driver’s License exam — very pleased!
I called at the last minute and they were able to accommodate my eye exam needed for my driver’s license renewal. Dr. Chuang was very helpful, and filled out the paperwork clearly and accurately.
As a bonus, since the driver’s license exam is simpler than a full eye exam, they only charge $ 20. Other eye doctors would have charged much more, and since my insurance deductible was $ 40, Queens Vision Center is a no-​brainer.

Dr. Chuang is a great guy and a really wonderful doctor. Highly recommended. I recently moved to Elmhurst and popped in without an appointment hoping to fill a contact lens prescription from a previous optometrist. Dr. Chuang laid out all of my options, and guided me towards the one that would yield me the highest value, and no out-​of-​pocket expense, though he easily could have pointed me towards a payment of $ 80 or more.
That’s the kind of character I look for in a physician. The staff were really wonderful, as well!

This is a review for Dr Chaung:
I haven’t been to an eye exam in several years. In fact, after my follow-​ups from Lasik surgery, I hardly felt the need to. Only recently, I experienced some halo effects during night time driving. When I met with Dr Chaung he made me feel at ease, didn’t give me a hard time for not doing regular exams, and never pressured me to purchase eyeglasses. Frankly, I could’ve left the place with the $ 10 copay and be done with it but after learning my vision prescription was borderline acceptable for driving, the responsible thing to do was to get some nighttime driving glasses.
I think I found my new optometrist.

Friendly and professional doctor and staff. I searched for the reviews and visited several other vision stores before I went to Queens Vision. I decided to get my prescription of contact lenses after the detailed introduction provided by the doctor himself. He covered everything in the conversation, like pricing, how to exam, types of lenses, etc.
Then Doctor Chuang gave me a thorough exam of my eyes. To make sure I wear the right lenses, he gave me two pairs of lenses with different degrees to try on, and gave me another new pair of the one I prefer. Really a great doctor!
I’m a lazy person so seldom write reviews. However I feel so good with my lenses. So happy I made a good choice.

Friendly staff! If you have any questions they’ll try their best to answer it to the best of their ability.

Went here for the first time yesterday for my 5 year old twins. Turns out my son needs glasses for school. Doctor was super thorough took his time and did 2 exams on each child. Everyone at the place was super friendly and great to my kids.
Super happy I went here! :)

Staff was prompt and professional with service. I was able to walk in, get my eye exam and contacts supply in under 30 minutes. Price was fair, certainly not overpriced (at least for the contacts, I wouldn’t know about the selection of glasses).
I have to note, Doctor Chuang is a very friendly and professional doctor that truly made me feel at ease getting my eye exam; very easy to talk to.
Overall, a great place to get contacts and glasses. I will definitely be getting my contacts from here again, and most likely will update my glasses here as well. 5 out of 5.

I love going here. I’ve been a customer here for years. They are all so kind and so helpful. The eye doctor always has thorough answers to my questions.

First time visiting here to get prescription lens for my glasses, the staff was great but when it comes to price it gets tricky. For the price they gave me i clearly told them i need anti-​reflective coating and guess what? they didnt and just put on regular lens. i think i can tell the difference if they thought that i wouldnt know. Yeah so im not happy felt like i got rip off with the price i paid so beware. Anyways i would have give it 1 star but Dr. Chuang was very nice, easy to talk to, took the time to explain everything and was very helpful.

Phone call earlier today: Pleasant, professional, welcoming. And an opening that I could have later in the day. Perfect!
Walk into the office/​shop: Appealing! Layout is nice, clean, plentiful array of frames, and friendly staff continue to be welcoming.
Dr. Chuang: Easygoing, professional, and helpful to me, who wants to know all there is to know about the possibilities my vision may or may not bring me in the future, per my concerns. And those concerns were heard out, and addressed respectfully. Attention to detail, really spending time examining my eyes, patience in hearing my concerns and addressing each one, this is my kind of place!
This was a pleasant visit, start to finish. I can’t imagine anyone leaving feeling that their issues were not recognized and addressed with care and competence. Never rushed, never cheeky, simply a good experience. Well done, Queens Vision Center!

I have been to a lot of doctors and Dr. Chuang is one of the few that has made me feel comfortable and will take the time to explain to you what you need to know. You know he cares and isn’t just trying to yes you or brush you off because of time. He will take as much time as you need to do what needs to be done. I recommend him to every one I know for their check ups.

I’ve been a patient at Queens Vision for a few years now and I feel very lucky to have found them. I’ve never had an optometrist that I felt I could trust until I met Dr. Chuang. He’s knowledgeable and thorough and explains things clearly in language that I can understand.
I’ve brought my friends, wife and cousin all to Queens Vision and they all have similar feelings. They all feel that Dr. Chuang genuinely cares and takes the time to really figure out what’s going on with their eyes and offers solutions. Its really unusual to find an optometrist who doesn’t just throw you in the exam chair, asks you a bunch of ‘#1 or #2′, ‘better or worse’ and then scribbles down their best guess and throws you towards the salespeople at the eyeglass counter.
I’ve been wearing eyeglasses since I was a wee-​little boy and going for my annual checkup couldn’t be less stressful. I used to feel like I was heading into the used-​car dealership. Along with my current dentist, I’ve finally found two doctors that I would go to for a lifetime. Now, I just need a MD for my regular checkups, a good attorney and an accountant and I’ll be set.

I was too lazy to take a train out to Manhattan and figure I could put up with some random Asian place near my house. Turns out Dr. Chuang is fantastic — helpful, honest, got a rebate I didn’t know about, keeps cost concerns in mind, and even swapped out my unused contacts for my new prescription! Definitely my go-​to optometrist now.

I have been wearing glasses since childhood and seen over a dozen of eye doctors, but I have never had anyone that gave me such exceptional attention to my eye as Dr. Chuang O.D. He is very knowledgeable and really cared about my eyes and what I needed to see better. With the help of Dr. Chuang and his friendly staff at Queens Vision I am currently looking great and seeing clearly with my eyeglasses with Transitions lens. I will recommend him to anyone and all my friends. Queens Vision Center also provide contacts. They also have staff on site that speaks Mandarin, Taiwanese, English, and Korean.
It’s near Elmhurst Hospital Center.
