When he went about opening his own store the local opticians discouraged him from doing so. Al would not be denied and began selling his optical services door to door out of his car! Al wanted more for his customers and wanted them to feel at home while he provided his optical services. That idea is what motivated him to purchase the home now known as Adolph Optical located in Highland Square.

Friendly warm atmosphere everyone is nice and helpful. It is a very different experience then what we are used to when going to the eye doctor. If you have been putting off getting an eye exam or having your prescription updated this is the place to go. Dr. Barracato and Dr. Ford will take good care of you. Don't delay you know this review has the ring of truth.

I had broken the metal piece that connects my nose pad to my frames. I tried using gorilla epoxy and super glue; I even tried to solder it but I didn’t know how to use the tool haha—but everything failed. I had superglue all over my lenses. I went to 5 different Walmart’s and they all said “you can’t fix that, you need a whole new pair of glasses.” And of course, my prescription for my lenses was expired and I didn’t have time to see a doctor for a new one. I called Adolph Optical and they said they’d have a look. Not even 5 minutes after arriving, my nose pad was fixed and they

Adolph Optical made my first pair of glasses when I was in preschool. After a mis-diagnosis by my physician years ago, they directed to me to be seen by a Pediatric Ophthalmologist at Akron Children’s Hospital. By the fourth or fifth grade, I was completely out of glasses until there was a need for reading glasses around 40 years of age. My recent search for a well-made lens led me back to Adolph Optical, and I couldn’t be happier with this new pair. I highly recommend their service, quality and expertise!

20 stars if possible! I broke my glasses and the chain store I got them at for $400 said they couldn’t be fixed...that I would need to buy a new pair. I couldn’t work without glasses. I found Adolph online and called. Tom had me send a picture and told me to bring them in. He couldn’t fix the old frame but put replacement earpieces on in about five minutes for $20! I will go back to Adolph for new glasses when it’s time! Nice to do business with a small local company!

Id give 10 stars if I could!! Did a Google search online after my daughter's glasses broke, Adolph Optical was a 40 minute drive from us but we needed them fixed asap! We drove there and just walked in and they fixed her glasses in just a couple minutes! When I went to pay he told me no charge! Very cute place with super friendly staff. Thank you again Adolph Optical!

Wonderful experience here. I broke my glasses with a clean break right in the middle of the nose bridge. Neither my Eye Doctor nor the company I purchased the glasses from would repair it, instead wanting me to pay over $250 for a new frame, plus a fee to put the lenses in. I came to Adolph Optical and Tom took one look at it and said "I think I can fix this, just give me 20 minutes" and just like that he repaired them and for less than a tenth of what the manufacturer wanted! I will recommend all my friends and family go here!

My family decided to switch to Adolph Optical simply because they were close to the house and were a local business. We were surprised, however, that they were also an amazing group of people! Going there is not simply getting your eyes checked or a new set of frames, but time spent with friends. There are always laughs to be had and shared as you are treated like one of their own while searching for frames or waiting for a repair to be done. They also offer repairs to your frames at little to no charge(depends on the extent of repair so far as I can tell). My family and I will be staying patients
