Why Middletown Residents Choose Us
The Hudson Valley's Premier Optical Boutique
Middletown is the largest city in Orange County, and its residents deserve eye care that goes beyond the chain stores lining Route 211. The Last Optical in Montgomery, NY is just 18 minutes east — a luxury eyewear boutique carrying 18+ independent designer brands, offering comprehensive eye exams, and operating a dedicated Dry Eye Spa in the Hudson Valley. If you've been settling for mass-market frames from the mall, it's time to discover what boutique optical care actually looks like.
Middletown residents have plenty of chain optical options — LensCrafters, Pearle Vision, Walmart Optical — but none of them carry the caliber of eyewear we offer. Our founder, Stacey L. Plank, has been a licensed optician since 1998 and personally curates every frame in our collection. We carry brands like Lindberg, Mykita, ic! Berlin, and Face à Face — independent designer houses that prioritize engineering, materials, and design over mass production. The difference is visible the moment you put them on.
