About Philadelphia Eyeglass Labs

Philadelphians are impressed when they find out that we’re a 5th generation, family-owned business. It seems like everyone is selling eyeglasses these days; big-box chained stores, tiny overpriced boutiques, the pharmacies and the internet!

So what’s our secret?

For starters, we’re a full service eyecare center. We manage all aspects of the process “soup to nuts” from the eye exam and frame selection, to the grinding and surfacing of your lenses right up to the moment you walk out the door in your new eyewear.

Our optical team is passionate about helping you select the frames and lenses that fit your prescription, your face, and your budget. Whether it’s transitions lenses, safety frames or bifocals that you need, our experienced optometrists and dispensing opticians will craft a set of frames and lenses that fit you and your lifestyle.

Plus, we manufacture your glasses in our very own in-house lab. (Betya’ didn’t know that!) We grind, surface and fit the lenses ourselves, right downstairs, which means that you’re getting glasses either the same day as your eye exam or the next day, with very few exceptions.

The full service lab and team of onsite optical professionals make us the best in the biz at difficult to fill prescriptions and emergency situations. Got a problem? No problem! Come see us 6 days a week and we’ll do everything we can to get you seeing clearly again.

More than anything, though, the reason we’re still thriving is because we don’t go home until everyone’s happy. It’s our mission to make sure you feel like the valued patient you are every step of the way. The personal care and attention we give the people of this town has lasted through the ages; we’re tried and true.
