Dr. Stupiansky is brilliant and her staff are so kind! They've curated a really versatile collection... of glasses and know exactly how to pick glasses for different people/faces in an impressively short time. Not to mention, they're not a big monopoly and the owner is a really good person. I can't imagine going anywhere else now.

The people at Metropolitan Optical, especially Mr. Paul Allen, are so welcoming, kind, and knowledge... able. I have spent four years living in D.C. while studying at university, and have always had difficulties with my glasses fitting properly given my complex lenses. I likely visited their office nearly two dozen times throughout my time in college, and was always assisted and treated with patience. If you are looking for an optometry office in the District, Metropolitan Optical should be your first choice!

Great! Experience. =D Once i walked in i was greeted, Signing papers are the old age because they ha... ve a tablet to sign and mention any medical issues or past records you may have. (Paperless) Stephanie is so kind and sweet, the machines they have, gave them perfect details of my eye. (Keep up the good work) DR. Stupiansky , showed me a detail picture of my eye and explained what I have... she is nice and polite. Can't forget about Paul , he help me pick a perfect titanium frame that suite me well. ( how he knew I like titanium..) Overall I recommend coming here for an eye exam and or frames . ( can bring in your own frames too, optional)

I would give more than five stars if I could - highly recommend to anyone looking for comprehensive ... eye care in the DMV area! The entire team is so friendly and knowledgeable. As a new patient, Lucinda immediately made me feel welcome throughout the intake process. When my previous eye doctor no longer accepted my insurance, I was worried it would be difficult to find comparable care, but Dr. Stupiansky is even better! She gave a great exam, taking the time to answer all of my questions and going above and beyond to recommend exercises to help alleviate my eye strain. HUGE shout out to Jesse and Corey, who were both so helpful and patient with me as I returned several times to adjust my new glasses to fit me just right. The service, warm environment, and glasses selection are all around stellar. Thank you to the whole team at Metropolitan Optical!

Corey is an amazing worker. I’d give the staff, the service and the place itself 5 stars all aroun... d the board. Keep being great.

Friendly staff, friendly knowledgeable doctors! Call me a windmill, ‘cause I’m a big fan.

Great care, great products and super service. Expensive as are most high quality optical stores but ... I have been a patient of Dr. Ayalew and Metropolitan for over 25 years!
- Jul. 12, 2024
I'v been to multiple optical shops lately looking for new glasses. Metropolitan was the most helpfu... l of any place I looked.

Great care. Cool doctor. Easy fast experience.

Best eye doctor I’ve ever been to. Dr. Stupiansky and Lucinda went out of their way to help me whe... n I had an issue — taking the extra time to figure out what exams I needed so I wasn’t over-paying and spending extra time with me to resolve my eye issue. When I needed an urgent follow-up with a specialist and was not able to secure an appointment myself, Dr. Stupiansky took the time to call the specialist to get me in that week itself. Cannot recommend Metropolitan Optical enough.
