Terms of Use
 
Welcome to Moscot.com (the "Site") the website of MOSCOT Eyewear and Eyecare Since 1915. Venerable optical retailer, Moscot, has been a New York City institution for over 90 years. Patriarch Hyman Moscot began selling eyeglasses from a pushcart on Manhattan’s famed Lower East Side in the early 1900s and the rest, as they say, is history. Today, the company is run by fourth generation Moscot siblings. Each of the Moscot locations offer a selection of more than 1,000 frames from a wide variety of well known eyewear and sunglass designers, as well as a comprehensive inventory of contact and eyeglass lenses, and the company’s very own branded line of vintage-inspired glasses and sunglasses, the wildly successful, Moscot Originals. Moscot’s newest line, Moscot Spirit, remains true to the company’s classic downtown identity by mixing elements of the Originals with modern new styling. Moscot Eyecare (aka Moscot Vision Associates), the eye heath services also offered at all Moscot locations, provides patients with comprehensive eye care services – from routine eye examinations and vision exams for corrective lenses to sophisticated eye health assessments using the latest technology available for a more accurate diagnosis and treatment of a full range of medical eye conditions and maladies. Moscot also provides this Site and related services, but it can only do so subject to the following terms and conditions of use (the "Site Terms"). By accessing, browsing or using the Moscot Site you agree to follow and be bound by these Site Terms and Conditions and all applicable law.
