    They are amazing at Snyder opticians. I’ve never had an eye glass shop as thorough or oriented towards their clientele. I came in asking for help soldering wire frames that broke. They first offered to do it for me (for a much lower price than other locations, $40 instead of $150 ish at other spots). When I went to have them do it, they looked at my glasses and saw it wouldn’t be ideal, gave me a tip to find new glasses replacements for a discounted rate, and then did all the adjustments. They’re just kind generous people. And to top it off have a great eye for aesthetic and high quality glasses. The best

    Had a really good experience at Snyder Opticians. Kristie was very welcoming and helpful from the moment I walked in. I originally came in just looking for clear lenses, and she even took the time to loosen and adjust my glasses because they were too snug. Great customer service and a really comfortable atmosphere. Definitely appreciated the help. Thank you again.

    My 4 year old needed his first pair of glasses and Snyder came highly recommended by another family at his daycare. I can’t speak highly enough of the team here- my son was, to put it mildly, an absolute pill during the process of fitting his glasses, and they could not have been kinder or more patient with us. A million thank yous!
