What Is Cooper Eye Care?
Updated
Cooper Eye Care is a local eye care practice serving New York City, with locations in the Upper East Side of Manhattan and Dyker Heights, Brooklyn. It provides routine and specialized eye exams, eyewear, and contact lenses, and accepts appointments at both offices. If you live or work in Manhattan or Brooklyn and need an eye exam, glasses, contacts, or a specialist referral, this is the kind of practice you would contact directly to schedule a visit.
Where Cooper Eye Care Is Located
The practice operates two offices under related names:
| Location | Name | Address Area |
|---|---|---|
| Manhattan | Cooper Eye Care | Upper East Side, Manhattan, NY |
| Brooklyn | Cooper Panariello Eye Institute | Dyker Heights, Brooklyn, NY |
Both are described as serving their local New York communities, so the office you choose generally depends on which borough is more convenient for you.
What Services Are Offered
According to the practice, Cooper Eye Care provides:
- Routine eye exams and checkups — for standard vision and eye health needs
- Specialized treatment — for patients who need more than a routine exam
- Eyewear — including what the site describes as high-end luxury frames
- Contact lenses — fitting and supply
- Diagnostic equipment — the practice states it uses up-to-date diagnostic tools
The site also mentions a contact lens study for nearsighted children, with a link to learn more and apply. If that applies to your family, ask about eligibility when you contact the office.

- Provide your information and the reason for your visit (routine exam, eyewear, contacts, or a specific concern).
- Confirm the date and time, and ask whether your insurance is accepted if that affects your decision.
If you are unsure which location handles your need, calling the office directly is the fastest way to confirm.
What Patients Say
The site displays Google reviews. Common themes in the posted feedback include:
- Doctors described as caring, thorough, and experienced (specific doctors named include Dr. Conenna, Dr. Eisenberg, and Dr. Kim)
- Long-term relationships with the practice — one reviewer mentions 15+ years of family visits

- Praise for equipment and professionalism
Reviews are individual experiences and reflect the reviewers' own visits, so treat them as one input among several when choosing a provider.
