I got my Dior sunglasses fixed here for free! I am so happy! Very friendly stuff btw.

The store is so professional!! Effective, knowledgeable, reliable are the comments from my recent purchase! Stuff here are nice and friendly as well. After comparison between different stores , this store offer reasonable price and way more valueable service. read more

Really great store! Had nose pads put on an old pair there last year, and it became the most comfortable pair I owned. Went in for a new pair of glasses a couple weeks ago. Gary was super helpful, and terrific at his job! read more

I broke my glasses earlier this week, and I was pretty upset because I thought they couldn't be fixed (and my lenses are always extremely expensive because of my high prescription). I looked up repair shops for glasses in Philly, and Snyder came up at the top of my list. The glowing reviews on Yelp are completely accurate. I went in 50 minutes before close on a Friday, and people instantly assisted me and told me that they could help. They got it back to me less than half an hour later and didn't even charge me for the spare part and service. Through it all, everyone was so friendly and Mr. Snyder (?) even made sure that the glasses fit perfectly. Amazing business; if I ever need anything optical-related, I will for sure go back to Snyder. read more

They were a blessing! In the middle of terrible week of Med School exams my glasses broke, The end pieces were loose, one had fallen out and one of the nose pieces fell out. They were a mess. They fixed them on the spot and free. Thank you so much! Excellent customer service, Professional and Knowledgeable. read more

So nice and friendly! Welcomed me with a joke, then looked at my glasses that were in two pieces and said "nothing broken, you just have to put them together backward." In a flash, my glasses were fixed at no charge. I'm very grateful: in from out of town for training, really hard to have broken glasses while traveling. Thank you! read more

I went on my lunch break. I went based on reviews on Yelp. I got glasses repaired for a friend. It took no time to do. The service was awesome. Both ladies were so friendly, and warm. read more

I got my eyeglass lenses replaced here after the coating started to come off. They made new ones for significantly less than the original lenses cost, advised me on how to keep them clean in the future, and even replaced a worn-out screw setting at the same time. Also, one of the other customers whispered to me about how much he loved the place while the owner was in the back. Really nice people doing a great job. read more

The best. Period. Finally quit using my ophthalmologist's "captive" lab and decided to use an optician closer to work. Saw the reviews and decided to give them a try with my latest vision Rx. Two pairs of glasses later, I couldn't be happier. Give them a try - you'll be happy too. read more

An Amazing Experience. I had broken a spring hinge in the one of the side pieces on my glasses. The optometrist that I go to said that he could not replace the side piece because the frame was no longer sold, so I got a new pair of glasses. Then I asked the optometrist to send the broken frame to the lab that he uses to see if they could make the old glasses usable as a "backup" when I travel. I said that I didn't care if the replacement side piece was a good match to the frame. The lab said that there was nothing they could do. I found Snyder Opticians on Yelp and saw the enthusiastic reviews. I went there, and in 15 minutes the very pleasant woman who greeted me replaced the broken side piece with a very good (almost perfect) match. When I asked what I owed them, she said, "Oh, nothing. We keep old parts around for situations like this." Amazing! read more

These guys care about their customers and about doing glasses right, and it shows. They were generous (but not overbearing) with advice, they paid attention to detail, and their communications were perfect. They worked with us on style and price. We'll be back. read more

This place is awesome! Really great selection of glasses and really nice and helpful staff. I brought in a pair of bent sunglasses that I had purchased elsewhere but they were still nice, fast, and extremely reasonable about repairing them for me. read more

I brought in a broken pair of glasses today and the woman working here replaced the broken arm with a spare piece she had within 10 minutes and didn't even charge me. Charming little place. Will definitely go back to this place for any future glasses needs. read more

I've been getting glasses here since 2008 and every time I have been pleased with the experience. Yes they are expensive but when you have bad eyes and need light comfortable glasses with great customer service they are the place to go. The best kept secret in Philadelphia when it comes to glasses. read more

Extremely friendly and helpful. I had a quick fix request to straighten my Oliver Peoples glasses that had become stretched out. They fixed them in 5 minutes and didn't even charge me. Bravo. read more

I got eyeglasses from another establishment but they were poorly fitted to my face. They kept sliding down my nose. A friend suggested I go to Snyder's. He said he's been going there for years and thinks they're incredible. I walked in, immediately got my eyeglasses expertly adjusted, and they refused to take a payment. Everyone was so nice, I will definitely go there in the future. Especially because my eyeglasses fit like a dream right now. read more

They are so friendly and helpful.Easily and fast fixed my sunglasses. Definitely I will back to order my glasses.Great work!

Wonderful customer service. Bent my frames and needed them straightened out so I could stop feeling like my head was constantly tilted. Walked in on my lunch break and walked out with completely fixed glasses in less than 10 minutes (probably close to 5 but I didn't time it). read more

I went almost at closing on Friday to get my sunglasses fixed. I was in and out in 10 minutes and the man was so nice and said it was on the house since all I needed was a screw that had popped off! Great customer service and friendly! Highly recommend! read more

A pair of my silhouette glasses had both its temples broken. While my eye doctor suggested that I spend 300$ to get a new one from their store, I instead took them along with another pair of glasses for spare parts to get it fixed at Snyder Opticians. The lady there working at the front desk who greeted me was very kind, (Kristine? I think that's how you spell it) I asked if the repair was possible, and she told me to wait 10 min and went to try my suggestion. She came back with my silhouette glasses all repaired. Her craftsmen skills is really good, my glasses looked superb! Best of all, I offered to pay, but she said it was alright and didn't charge me for anything. Highly skilled professionals, very nice and friendly, and high quality service. I told my friends about it, and told them if they ever need their glasses repaired, they should definitely consider this place out! read more

Seriously professional opticians who sell nothing but the best lenses and high quality frames. It's impossible to go wrong here. You WILL be satisfied with the experience and your purchases. read more

They live up to their positive reviews. The temple piece of my glasses broke off and when I took it to the place of purchase their optical dept.(after being there for 4 days) said they couldn't repair it.After a google search I found Snyder Opticians. One trip and 15 minutes later the very pleasant and courteous staff repaired the glasses without charge. I am impressed. read more

I have a pair of titanium Lindberg and the stem connecting the nosepads with the frame got detached from the frame. I called another place first and they said that I had to order the whole bridge t from Lindberg (that's over $200). The guys at Snyder opticians were amazing not only because they were willing to do the repair but also for being very understanding about my request to leave my glasses only for as long as needed for the repair and get them back as soon as possible because I don't have a second pair. Great customer service and the people were very pleasant. They lent a new pair of reading glasses to use for the time it would take to do the repair and they'd try to get them ready in a couple of days. I will come back to to review the repair when I get my glasses back. read more

I really loved coming here to get my new pair of glasses. First, my husband received great service when they adjusted his glasses for free. Then I came in to get new glasses after my old pair of 4 years was getting just too old and weighing down my face too much. I received great service and I have no complaints whatsoever. It's clear that Gary takes a lot of pride in what he does and he wants to make sure what you get is just right. My glasses are wonderful and I would definitely come here again and recommend Synder Opticians to others. read more

I got glasses for the first time in fifteen years. Before that my lasik surgery made me lens-free. I was disappointed to learn that I needed glasses after having gotten lasik surgery.On the recommendation of my opthamologist, I went to Snyder opticians. I was surprised and delighted at their beautiful frames, which they took an inordinate amount of time helping me to pick from. They called around the city to find the lens so that I could get them that very afternoon. Okay, great experience. Then a few days later while at a center City cafe with friends, I was the victim of a well planned theft. My purse was lifted from the back of my chair while someone at another table distracted us all. Everything was taken from me: new glasses, phone, keys, wallet, etc. So back to Snyder. They could not have been kinder. My new glasses were ready the next day and I got them at cost! Mr. Snyder said he didn't want to add to my aggravation. Needless to say, I am a fan. Great services, great quality, kindness, professionalism, and no money-grubbing. read more

came in after my glasses frame broke - they fixed it in a quick jiffy and refused to take any service charge. nice jazz music to wait too.

This review is late but just as important! I used to live in Philadelphia for a number of years and my glasses broke not once but twice(!!) during the two or so years I lived in center city. The first time I sheepishly walked into Snyder hoping they could somehow fix them. I was told by a super friendly gentleman that its broken but he might have an extra side piece to fit on it. Sure enough he did and insisted on not having me pay when I pleaded with him. Sure enough a few months ago the exact same thing happened to the other side and back I went to Snyder. The same gentleman helped me and he insisted once again I couldn't pay even though I really wanted to. As a student I didn't have the money at the time to buy a new pair of glasses. I wish I knew his name but the top reviews for this small-ish optician are well deserved. Their customer service is top-notch and if I would have stayed in Philadelphia for longer I would have most certainly gone to them to purchase everything glasses-related. Thank you so much! read more
