Team

Meet the Experts Behind Every Perfect Pair

At Konstantin, exceptional eyewear begins with exceptional people. Meet the optometrists, opticians, stylists, and specialists who bring decades of experience, precision, and personal attention to every visit.

Where Expertise Meets Personal Style

For more than 25 years, our team has helped New Yorkers see clearly and feel confident in their eyewear. From comprehensive eye exams to one-on-one frame styling and precision lens fitting, every experience at Konstantin is personal, unhurried, and tailored to you.

The Evolution of Eyewear: Where Craft Meets Innovation

Eyewear today is far more than a tool for vision correction—it’s a seamless blend of fashion, innovation, and identity. At Konstantin, we view every frame not just as a necessity, but as a curated expression of personal style, precision craftsmanship, and technological advancement.

From hand-finished acetates to ultra-light titanium, modern eyewear design bridges old-world techniques with cutting-edge materials. This evolution brings you glasses that not only look stunning but also feel effortless to wear—because no frame should ever compromise on comfort or aesthetics.

The industry is also embracing a more thoughtful approach. Leading designers now incorporate sustainable materials—like biodegradable acetates, recycled metals, and wood-inspired textures—offering you eyewear choices that are as responsible as they are refined. These aren’t fleeting trends—they’re lasting shifts in how luxury and environmental consciousness coexist.

Whether you’re drawn to the bold geometry of ’90s revival frames, the understated elegance of minimalist Scandinavian lines, or the timeless appeal of handcrafted European collections, there’s a perfect match waiting for you. And with advancements in lens and coating technologies, today’s eyewear delivers not only visual clarity but bespoke optical solutions tailored to your lifestyle.

Choosing the right pair of glasses is a personal investment—in your appearance, your comfort, and your daily experience. It’s more than vision correction; it’s a signature of how you see the world and how the world sees you. At Konstantin, we invite you to experience eyewear as it was meant to be: elevated, expressive, and distinctly yours.

Konstantin Tokarev

Founder / Licensed Optician

I founded KONSTANTIN Vision & Eyewear Center on a simple belief: great vision, style, and comfort start with precision and with understanding the person, not just filling a prescription.

I specialize in luxury eyewear and advanced lens design for professionals, executives, creatives, and anyone who expects more than an ordinary optical experience. My focus is solving difficult vision problems with optimized progressives, computer lenses, and fully customized biometric designs. Even the finest lens, made to the most precise prescription, fails without exact measurements, a precise fit, and a clear understanding of how and for what it will be used. That’s why every detail matters.

Over the years I’ve built relationships with many of the world’s most respected independent eyewear designers and premium lens makers. That gives my clients access to exclusive collections and lenses crafted for their eyes alone.

Skill and technology matter, but what truly makes the difference is that I care. My goal has never been to sell glasses. It’s to change how people see the world and to help them look and feel their best doing it.

Our Philosophy

More Than a Store — It’s a Relationship

 What sets us apart isn’t just our products or services — it’s how we treat people. We build real, long-term relationships with our clients by focusing on what they truly need, never rushing appointments or upselling unnecessary options.

Where Exceptional Eyewear Meets Exceptional Care

At Konstantin, we offer more than access to the world’s most iconic eyewear brands—we offer a relationship built on trust, taste, and time. Our difference isn’t just in the designer frames we carry. It’s in how we treat every client who walks through our doors.

From your first visit, you’ll notice something rare: a genuine commitment to understanding your style, your needs, and your lifestyle. Appointments are never rushed. Questions are welcomed. And every recommendation is made with care—not with a sales pitch.

We focus on long-term satisfaction over short-term transactions. That means no unnecessary upsells, no pressure—just expert guidance, curated choices, and the kind of service that feels more like a private consultation than a retail experience.

At Konstantin, our goal is to be your trusted optical partner for years to come—elevating how you see and how you’re seen, with eyewear that truly fits who you are.
