Holiday Gift Guide by MK Vision Center
Visits: 297
The Holidays are here and it’s time to get in the spirit of giving!
Are you in the spirit, but don’t know what to give?
MK Vision Center has the answer.
Located at 107-29 71st Avenue in Forest Hills, the family-run optical store has been serving the Forest Hills Community for over 15 years. Their expert Optometrist gives eye exams by appointment, and the store offers the latest designer frames & sunglasses. MK Vision Center even has two custom brands that they call their own; Mott & Bayard and Suki Eyewear.
Now, I know what you’re thinking… how will I know which frames my friend, family member, or significant other will like and look good in?
MK Vision Center suggests bringing them in for a fun ‘frame fitting experience’. “Our experienced eyewear specialists take pride in finding the right frame for each customer,” said Kaleena Ma, Owner of MK Vision Center. “Face shape, eye color, and style preference are all important factors in finding the right frame,” said Ma. “Not only is the gift of new frames exciting, but the experience of helping your loved ones look and feel great is a memorable one,” Ma added.
When MK Vision reached out to the Forest Hills Gardens Blog to try on their newest designer and custom frames, we were excited to oblige… since we’re always in the spirit of rockin’ the latest eyewear styles.
Forest Hills Times Marketing Director, John, stopped by MK Vision Center to try on some of the latest Fall and Winter eyewear styles. When he arrived, he was greeted by Sam, an MK Style Specialist, who suggested a few frames for him to try on.
For the sake of this article, John modeled in these frames… and after some persuasion, so did Sam.
