Eye Designs Named One of 'America's Finest Optical Retailers'

Eye Designs has been named one of “America’s Finest Optical Retailers” by INVISION®, the leading magazine for the American eyecare professional. Eye Designs was awarded an Honorable Mention in the international contest.

INVISION determined the best examples of independent eyewear retailers in the United States and Canada. Stores were judged by an expert panel of industry judges on exterior appearance, interior appearance/design, store biography, marketing, web presence, and overall individuality. This is the first year that Eye Designs was been recognized with this prestigious award.

“We are so honored and proud to be recognized by INVISION as one of the finest optical retailers in the country,” said Harris Decker, co-owner of Eye Designs. “We work hard to ensure our stores are special, customer-focused and offer a wide variety of frames to meet any style and need. We know our customers appreciate this, and it’s great to be recognized with this honor by one of the leading magazines in our industry.”

Eye Designs is a family business. Sharon Decker, who is a New York state licensed optician, opened the first Eye Designs, then called Eye Designs of Westchester, in Scarsdale, in June 1984. She was following the paths of her parents: her mother Gladys Mackler worked as a sales associate at local optical shops on Long Island and her father Mickey designed eyeglass stores. Her father designed the original Scarsdale location. Eye Designs expanded beyond its Scarsdale location in 1999 with the opening of a location in Armonk. The Mamaroneck location opened in 2021. Sharon’s son Harris Decker joined Eye Designs in 2014 and is now co-owner, marking the second generation of Deckers to lead Eye Designs and the third generation to work in the optical industries. Eye Designs sources all of its eyewear from independent makers in the states as well as overseas, offering customers unique styles and the latest designs.

Eye Designs recently celebrated its 40th anniversary and launched an Acts of Kindness campaign, to give back to the communities and customers who helped them achieve this milestone anniversary.

Eye Designs is a full-service, family-owned boutique eyewear business. Founded in 1984 with one location in Scarsdale, Eye Designs now has three locations: Scarsdale, Armonk and Mamaroneck. In 2024, Eye Designs celebrated its 40 anniversary and launched an Acts of Kindness campaign, which will run through the end of the year, to give back to the customers and communities it serves.
