Get the Glasses You Want, Not the Pair Insurance Pays For!
At Adolph Optical, we pride ourselves on being a family-owned and operated business, dedicated to providing quality eye care to the Highland Square area of Akron. Our story begins with Adolph "Al" Barracato, who after leaving the Navy, began training to become an optician. With a passion for developing a unique and cozy environment for his customers, Al went on to open Adolph Optical in 1971.
Our Story
Since its inception, Adolph Optical has been committed to delivering exceptional service and exceptional eyewear to its patients. Our dedicated team, led by Tom Barracato, a licensed dispensing optician and recent past president of the Opticians Association of America, strives to provide a personalized experience for each patient. Our highly trained staff, including Dr. Michelle Ford and Dr. Melissa Ford, ODs, are always ready to assist with any eye care needs.
Our Philosophy
At Adolph Optical, we believe that eye care should be more than just a routine exam. We take the time to understand each patient's individual needs and deliver personalized solutions to ensure their optimal eye health. Our commitment to quality and professionalism has earned us recognition within the industry, including the prestigious "Optician of the Year Award" from the National Academy of Opticianry.
Our Services
We offer a wide range of services, including:
- Eye Exams: We work in association with Dr. Michelle Ford, OD, and Dr. Melissa Ford, OD, to provide comprehensive eye exams for patients of all ages. From children under one year old to seniors, our experienced optometrists deliver personalized care to ensure optimal eye health.
