    Best customer service! I highly recommend them. My eye exam was quick and easy, and they helped me pick out a great pair of glasses—I ended up choosing the Burberry ones. Everyone was fantastic, welcoming, and made the whole experience enjoyable. The atmosphere was great, and I felt comfortable from start to finish!

    I needed to get some glasses adjusted and stopped by South Philly Optical. I was able to drop in and was in and out in 10 minutes. Jessica was very helpful in fixing my issue and did it free of charge! Will definitely be back here the next time I need a new pair of glasses.

    I had an amazing experience with Kristin. She really helped me out. I found a very costly pair of glasses. But one of the silicone pads were missing. The pad that was left was metal. I wanted them to match so she put on silicone ones and they were perfect.

    It’s a very family orientated business and very kind and helpful staff.
