You\u2019ll find Kuona, the latest arrival to Lower Manhattan\u2019s optical community, in an unlikely location \u2014 at the base of the Beekman at 115 Nassau St., in a space that was previously vacant for seven years. With that home base, it\u2019s perhaps not surprising that Kuona provides hospitality and concierge-level service in abundance. Indeed, stepping into Dr. Sophia Visanji\u2019s holistic eyecare studio feels like entering a spa. With a warm palate that matches the Beekman\u2019s style and calming vibes, it\u2019s not your typical eyecare shop.<\/p>\n

Kuona features a stylish, highly curated array of luxury eyewear brands like Celine, Loewe and Tag Heuer, along with independent designers like Cutler and Gross. In addition, Dr. Visanji\u2019s own line Aliana Rose Eyewear offers exclusive designs at the shop. Kuona also provides a comprehensive range of optometry services from eye exams to contact lens fittings and dry eye aesthetics. Plus, it\u2019s equipped with advanced imaging and diagnostic technology.<\/p>\n

After working as an optometrist for over a decade, Dr. Visanji is excited to open her first storefront and become a part of the downtown community. \u201cBeing part of the Lower Manhattan community means so much to us at Kuona,\u201d she said. \u201cWe feel right at home here and look forward to serving our neighbors for years to come.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
