About Cohen's Fashion Optical

90 Years of Quality Eyecare & Eyewear
Ninety years ago, our founder, Jack Cohen, pioneered a new philosophy in the retail eyewear business. His vision was, everyone who needed prescription eyeglasses wanted to look better, see better, and feel better about themselves. In 1927, Cohen's became the only fashion eyewear retail location to be found in New York. Cohen's Fashion Optical quickly became a New York City retail landmark. Today, with over 130 franchise stores in the US and Puerto Rico, Cohen's is one of the top 20 optical retailers in the country and one of the longest operating optical franchise companies in the country.
