I stopped in for a quick repair to my glasses nose paddings. The technician was super nice and immediately took action. I was there for maybe 4 minutes before she returned with not only bed nose pads, but fixed the tension in the hinges and any crookedness in my glasses free of charge. Highly recommend this business, absolutely!

A huge thank you to Dr. Emme Gilchrist for catching a tiny hole way out at the edge of my retina that led to the discovery of more issues that needed immediate laser treatment. She recommended a full dilation exam, which I initially wanted to skip. If she hadn’t convinced me to go through with it, I probably would have needed major surgery only a few months later. Dr. Gilchrist was very thorough and the ophthalmologist she referred me to was impressed that she noticed the issue. Thank you so much, you saved me a lot of pain and time off of work!

I have been going to the same optometrist for the last 20 years. Unfortunately with my schedule and childcare it’s been harder and harder the last few years to make it to them during office hours. It came to a point where I was out of contacts, my glasses were hot glued and even my husband had a huge scratch on his lens. I am so glad I took a chance booking an appointment with South Philly Optical. Booking the appointment was so easy. I did it online, and found appointments for my husband and I within the week that worked with our schedules. The optometrist was so friendly and thorough with my exam. The technician who helped me pick out my frames was especially patient and gave me great input. My glasses were ready so much sooner than expected. I love my frames so much that I want to come back for a second pair. My husband also had a 5 star experience, of course he picked his frames out in half the time I did!
