This family-owned business has built its reputation for excellence through a competent, detail-oriented staff that pays close attention to each individual’s needs so everyone leaves seeing – and looking – his or her best. Much of H. Rubin Opticians’ success is due to the woman’s touch, which is provided by co-owner Penny Ship, long-time employee Dorothy Voitas, and Farah KaraMostefa. These fashion-conscious women advise customers on the proper eyeglass frames to fit their face, coloring, budget, lifestyle, Dorothy Voitas, Penny Ship and Farah Kara-Mostefa and other needs. They give each person, from children to seniors, the attention they require, which often means patiently trying on a number of frames. Because H. Rubin Opticians does not accept insurance, staff members are able to deliver the best service, focusing on the needs of the customers, rather than making concessions to large companies. “We put precision into our frames,” Penny says. “Customers leave with a look that has been designed, but is not necessarily ‘designer.’” H. Rubin Opticians carries all the latest and highest quality in designer and non-designer eyewear, including Ralph Lauren, Armani, and Calvin Klein; European lines such as Face a Face, Lafont, Anne et Valentin, and Theo; and small, independent lines such as Salt, Etnia, and Derek Lam.
