    I went to Lens Crafters and had a eye exam and purchased glasses. 23rd of November 22. I never received a text or email or phone call stating the glasses was ready for pick up. I called on the 13 December 22. I call and was told they were ready. When I picked up the glasses on 14 December 22 come to find out the glasses were there since the 30 November 22 the woman that help seem not to be concerned at all. And when I got to my job and looked at my phone there was a text that came to me after I received the glasses.

    I have been buying Ray Ban sunglasses since 1970. I have had prescription Ray Bans since the 1990s. I have a pair now where the coating is coming off after three years and I still have the previous two prescriptions and there isn't a coating on the lens, It's a prescription lens, not a coating. There is absolutely no problem with those lenses.

    I will never recommend LensCrafters! Aside from the cost of their product, the service, specifically at the 23rd Street/Madison Avenue, NYC location, is substandard. After 25 years with a local ophthalmologist, I decided to visit LensCrafters. What a mistake, especially after my experience with Nicole the store manager.

    I am new to Vermont and I brought my daughter there to get glasses. Let me be clear, the doctor next to this location was awesome as was their staff. LensCrafters is not. The lady waiting on me made me think I had bad insurance and stated they would only cover 47.00. My bill was over 400. When I got home I logged in and seen they were out of network. I notified the corporate office and they said to call that office. I called and the same lady answered and I told her I wanted it cancelled. She said ok. I do have the email telling me to call her and since it was the same day no problem at all. Yesterday I get a text stating glasses are ready. I checked my card and they did not remove the charge. This is not acceptable. I have made a complaint to the BBB as well. I will continue to contact review agencies and their corporate office until this is resolved.

    Bottom line do not go there. They charge almost triple as anywhere else and they will not tell you that they are not in network. I went to Costco and without using my insurance I got me two pairs and my daughter 1 for less than LensCrafters cost for one pair. Now I can use my insurance to get my daughter's contact lenses. Oh and those glasses were ready same day as the ones I did not want at LensCrafters. Costco took one week and LensCrafters took almost three weeks.

    My experience was not good. Got progressive lenses. Told her I wanted ones just like was wearing. Got glasses and frames within a week. They were fine for reading but could not drive. Every thing blurry. So I took them back for a refund. Had to wait for my Insurance reimbursement for a month and that was with several calls. These glasses total over $700.00 my share was 290.00 and my insurance was a flat 325.00 for lenses. Of course LensCrafters showed all these discounts for the scratch resistance, Transitional and more. Went to Eyemart Express for all the same features that's listed above and my out of pocket was only $49.85. Once my insurance was reinstated they were very helpful in adjustments. Lens Crafters Doctor was even rude at times for my annual eye exam and try to rush you through all your appointment. I would never suggest Lens Crafters to anyone. I will never use again. Senior citizens it will pay you to shop around.

    This was my second visit to this location in Lithonia GA to pick up my glasses due to a change in my prescription after cataract surgery. I purchased my glasses in March 2022 and was told that after my cataract surgery I would only have to pay $40 for the eye exam to have my prescription adjusted but that was not true. I had to pay $54 for the exam plus $165 for new lenses. I had been told previously that I wouldn't be charged an additional amount to have the new prescription put in my glasses but I went ahead and paid the money because I needed my glasses. After waiting 2 weeks to receive the glasses back I went to pick them up and realized I couldn't see anything with them on.

    After speaking with the associate Jamee who helped me the first time, he realized the new prescription was never put in the glasses. The lab had put the old prescription back in due to an error by Jamee who put the wrong information in the system. I was furious because now I would have to wait another 2 weeks to receive my glasses for the 2nd time. I asked to be compensated somehow for their mistake but was told there was nothing they could do. I think this company does not value for their customers and once I get my glasses back I will never visit them again. I have been coming to Lenscrafters for many years but now they will lose my business forever.

    I went to order frames online, because I was going to use insurance they said someone needed to contact me to complete the order, reached out 3 times to try and do it and no one ever got to me. After two months of that I just went into the store to do it. They simply did not want to help me. My insurance was out of network (which I knew and I planned to pay the difference and told the sales associate that). I just really wanted the frames I saw there as the other stores I checked didn't have anything I liked. They told me I couldn't get the frames I liked with my prescription which was odd because I never had an issue before and my old glasses had the same shape. I asked were they sure because that was new to me to hear that, they said yes you will have to pick something else. After not finding anything else I went to Pearle Vision and got the SAME frames with no issues.

    I have not used LensCrafters since the 90’s. Well, different in PA glasses done on-site is a NO. Spent over 3 hours in the location due to their system not working properly. Never use health insurance but used vision only. Added warranty when didn’t want it because the trouble with the system. Just to fill my 2 glasses my own frames cost over $200 then purchased a brand new glasses over $400. Never in my life have I ever paid over $600 for glasses. So moving forward got a text, glasses are in so traveling about 1 hour to Monroeville. So needless to say, 2 out of 3 are done. We ask for prescription paper. Was told it was in our folder we received. WHAT FOLDER, stated the system was down.

    Needless to say when you ask to write out the prescription which is for the customer use. Also never received the old lens back either. Needless to say, told Lenscrafters will not travel again to pick up 3rd pair of glasses, Lenscrafters agree to mail them. Let’s just say the glasses came. And Guess What - Wrong Prescription. Plus Lenscrafters are so Cheap, glasses came in a felt bag, not in a glass case so if the box got crushed so would the glasses. Lenscrafters does apply any discount that are advertised or all insurance customers have. In my opinion, this company wants all the profits. So in essence, I would never use Lenscrafters Again.

    In May and early June I purchased 3 pairs of glasses from Lenscrafters at Orchard Park Mall in Kelowna- the first two in May and the third in June. I was happy with the frames and professional service from the sales lady in May. When I received the first two pairs, I discovered the Office glasses did not work for me. This is because I was NOT told Lenscrafters ONLY makes 1 kind of office glass. A training issue. This was not discussed or explained. I then reached out to my Optometrist who kindly provided a second prescription to help Lenscrafters fix the problem. I then waited more than a month and heard nothing about the office glasses or the third pair I needed for work.

    I finally called and was told they had been sitting there for a long time. But, no one called. I then spoke with store manager Jaimie who accused me of complaining about upselling?, wanting to return glasses? and even more irrational of my Optometrist's office of no longer selling me glasses!! All completely untrue and bizarre! I then had to call my Optometrist's Office - Vision Optometry- who confirmed they said no such thing and that they were happy to fix my office glasses and sell me glasses in the future. Jaimie stated that his colleague told him this and refused to own his wrongs or to apologize.

    Further I was forced to be without glasses that worked for my prescription for a month and a half due to lies and character assault. Customer service for Lenscrafters has refused to do anything. I received a 3 minute call (saved on phone) from a rep who had no interest in any of this today finally, and who would not listen to my request and in turn hung up. I strongly suggest NEVER buying glasses from a company only interested in profit and who has no problem holding their managers accountable for character assault or extraordinary lengths of time customers are forced to be without glasses.

    Updated on 03/14/2025: This is actually a continuation of problems first noted in my 2022 review. The "film pulling away" thing is now along the outer edge of both lenses. Picture is attached this time and is best seen enlarged.

    Updated on 12/05/2024: My glasses were magically in shortly after I wrote my review in 2022. Frames are still in good shape two years later, but there's a film or something pulling away from the edge of the lenses. I stopped in the Lenscrafters store where I got them and showed them and they said they would replace them, but my prescription has changed, so I'm going to get new lenses somewhere else and just sign a waiver for them to work with the frames. I really don't want to ever deal with Lenscrafters again.

    Original Review: I ordered & paid for glasses (on a whim while I was at that shopping plaza) on 3/10. They said it takes about a week. Two weeks went by, no communication from them, so I left a phone message. No return call. Somewhere in there, I got an email asking how I liked my new glasses. I called back and they said three weeks tops. The third week went by, no communication. I called and someone said they might be on the way, or they might be getting quality checked, and it usually only takes two weeks (what happened to one?), but give it another week or two. I've been out $500+ with nothing to show for it for almost five weeks. I've been wearing glasses for decades. There's nothing special about them that should take this long.

    My SVC rep was Tonae. Due to her exceptional knowledge, personal care, and expertise in dealing with very high prescriptions I was able to get the best pair of glasses I've ever purchased in life. They are everything she said they would be. I absolutely love them!!!! She worked with me thru multiple visits, and advised me to get the recommended dilation before attempting a new purchase so the provider could determine which of the two prescriptions were appropriate.

    I received the 2 prescriptions during a back and forth between the optometrist and Cielo Vista site reps which resulted in 2 failed attempts to obtain a useable product. Tonae educated me on the intricacies of getting proper measurements, prescription and eyewear features for my vision and personal concerns. I was even given the option to return them if I didn't like them after wearing them. When I put them on, I did not have to adjust to them over a few days as I have had to do with previous glasses over the years. This was a new experience for me. I'm very pleased.

    I moved here from out of state and lost my ophthalmologist and their in-house eyeglass department. My glasses have a high prescription and I knew new ones would cost $700.00, so I held out as long as I could. I finally ended up at Lenscrafters. I think Lenscrafters is fine for low prescriptions but for people like me who have numerous vision issues, purchasing from them has been a true disappointment. I have limited frame options because of the lens type. My goal is to be able to see. The previous location provided the highest index lens with transitions. Lenscrafters claimed they could not. My new glasses are horrible with thick, heavy lenses. They are also too small behind the ears. I am extremely disappointed at being treated as someone who wanted a dainty pair of stylish frames to go with their low script rather than who I am: a disabled person who needs these glasses to function properly.

    Lens Crafters is slowly out sourcing everything. They stopped one hour service, they stopped doing gradient shading on lenses. And when I needed one lens replaced they said company policy was that I had to replace both which would cost me double. They definitely aren’t interested in customer service anymore. I had to go to an independent dealer to get real service. They gave me everything I wanted. Stay away from Lens Crafters. They're a ripoff.

    For over 20 years, my family and I have been loyal customers to LensCrafters in Eastland Mall, but will not return. I had poor customer service, and I am certain they did not put the anti-scratch coating on my regular glasses. This January, I needed new glasses, so I purchased a regular pair and a pair of sunglasses - a total of $919 spent (with their "specials" applied.) I have a strong prescription and bifocals, so I knew I had to wait longer to get them. Once they came in 2 weeks later, they were not adjusted for my eyes, so I had to return. After explaining to two different associates, they finally agreed to re-make my lenses to fit my eyes. I ended up making two additional trips just to get them and have them fitted.

    Now, just 4 months later, the lenses on my regular glasses are so scratched up that I have issues seeing clearly. I have done nothing different, and treat them very carefully, but they are so easily scratched. My glasses purchased in 2018 are not even this scratched up. The response I received from Eastland Mall was that they could do nothing for me, but gave me a customer service number. That recording directed me to Chat with them, which I did only to receive a link to report this all over again.

    The response from corporate? A rote response: "At LensCrafters we allow our customers to choose if the Eyewear Protection Plan is right for them. Customers have the ability to add the EPP on the day of purchase or day they pick up their eyewear. If a customer damages their eyewear and has not purchased the Eyewear Protection Plan, we are able to offer them our current in store offer so they customer will not be required to pay full price for their eyewear." I have never needed that protection before, so of course I didn't spend the extra (and exorbitant) fees they wanted for it. I'll be getting my glasses from my eye doctor from now on.

    I have to wear special lenses. My eye doctor shares an office space with LensCrafters and LensCrafters got my RX wrong the first time I received it. Sent it back a second time because they were scratched and even though I paid for scratch resistant lenses in the initial order I was charged again when they sent it back. I wanted to give my eyes time but I still can't see very well. I can no longer see up close with my glasses, which I use to be able to do with the old pair. There is a fuzz/blur around the words. Even with my contact lenses there's a fuzz. For the money they charge I should be able to see. I see just fine when I'm at the doctor's using their equipment but that's not being translated in my prescriptions. Plus they would not give me the PD which is absurd as that is my medical information. I should be able to know what that is so that I am not forced to purchase glasses only through them.

    I have purchased several pairs of prescription eyeglasses from Lenscrafters over the past 20+ years. I normally do not have the ophthalmologist or optometrist check the script, which I didn't this time, until I recently had a new exam. I was told that there was no prism in the glasses; I have been wearing the wrong script for a few years, as the vision had not changed much. I have the original script indicating a prism for one lens only, and the doctor couldn't understand how it was not included. I know I was having much more double vision than normal, but I thought it was just getting worse. Discount or not, I will take my vision more seriously and get prescriptions filled elsewhere from now on.

    My family of 6 switched to Lenscrafters (at Haywood Mall in Greenville, SC) recently. Last week on Wednesday 4/28/2021, we had an appointment for one of my daughters and myself. We left with glasses RX but forgot to ask about the PD. We went back on Saturday 5/2/2021 and we were greeted by a gentleman with a very bad attitude and the Assistant Manager Kami. We politely asked to get the PD measurement since we forgot to ask. They were really rude (especially with their body language).

    Kami had to tell her employee to be quiet a couple of times so she could speak to me and that aggravated him more. They both refused to read the PD for us since we did not purchase frames, they said that was the company policy. They were very rude and condescending to us. We left and canceled the other 2 appointments we had set up for my other 2 daughters the following weekend. What we don't understand is that their website says (and quote) the following: "You can ask your eye doctor to include your PD measurement on your prescription". It doesn't say that we need to buy glasses in order to get our PD. Attitude for the two employees needs to be addressed and apologies for the way they speak to customers should be considered. Customer satisfaction is everything and it doesn't take a lot to be nice to people.

    I will begin to say that they do have a good selection of frames prices range from 168 to 500 dollars depending on the brand you pick but the overpriced comes in when you have progressive lenses you will get charged double if not triple the price. But what really make me do this review was the fact that approximately less than 72 hours after putting my order and getting charged more than 1,000 dollars I change my mind about adding transition lenses. So my daughter that also goes there told me, "Call by phone. Tell them you want the transition lenses anyway. They have not sent it to lab yet."

    I called. A girl came on the phone. First she tells me that Nilda who is the person that got my order does not go work there then tells me that calling the wrong LensCrafters. Then I asked for her to check my order number. She finally says that was the right shop but that in order change my order I had to go in person. I explained to her was not even in Broward County at the moment. Needless to say that they lacked customer satisfaction and service. I don’t think after buying from them more than a thousand dollars worth of frames and lenses she should have told me that I had to go in person and she never even let me talk to Nilda the person that took my order so was not able to add the transition lenses. So the only time I will back to the store is pick up my order and the near future to go see Dr ** who is great awesome Dr.

    If you ever visit the Lenscrafters' web site be prepared to be frustrated. Contacting customer service about all the problems in their site is a waste of time. For example, if you have a user account as I do, there is a chance that the optometrist you used at their store has scheduled a future exam for you to confirm in your account online. There's even a Book Exam button for you to do so. However, when you click on it you get a 'Sorry the page you're looking for can't be found' message instead of confirming the exam that was already scheduled by your optometrist.

    Then there's the in store purchase records which seem to be non-existent. If you follow the page instructions to manually enter your receipt number you'll discover that the information is not only incorrect but you cannot enter the receipt number they claim you should because the formats don't match. The one on the till receipt is nowhere near the same as the accepted format on the web page. You also only get 5 chances to enter it correctly until you get locked out of your account. At least that's what the basically useless site claims will happen. Fact is, that's a lie. Just use the browser back button and you can try as often as you like based on my personal experience. You'll never succeed because the till receipt number will NEVER be accepted. It's way too long.

    When you spend $500 on an exam and a single pair of glasses you expect to see them when you view the appropriate section of your user account online. Too bad that is not the case and apparently never will be since the customer service personnel I've dealt with haven't a clue what customer service actually is. They've blamed the store personnel, the optometrist and myself for the problems I've encountered on their horrible website. It's as though they think they're infallible and neither the fault or responsibility is theirs to bear.

    As for the in-store experience, I was never told when my glasses would be ready or whether or not I would be contacted. Basically, I paid, they gave me my receipt and went to another customer before I could ask them anything. It's been almost two weeks and I have heard nothing. I should NOT have to call them to see if my glasses are ready especially given the overpricing for the frames and lenses. I could have bought two or three pairs for the same amount of money at Walmart on online elsewhere. And I still have no idea what my prescription actually is!!!

    My encounter with the manager at the Federal Way, WA store yesterday was incredibly unprofessional and against LensCrafters publicly posted policy. I decided to return a brand new pair of glasses and request a refund because they had broken twice within 2 weeks and after telling the technician the story of the glasses, she told me they generally advise people not to buy that particular type because they are fragile. No one told me those type of glasses are a known problem. The manager walked over and asked me several time ‘What is wrong with THESE glasses’? Of course I told her, each time, I don’t have faith in them given my experience and what the technician just told me. She said ‘There is nothing wrong with them, we sell hundreds of them’. Not only her words but her attitude was angry and dismissive. This was all very public.

    I asked to talk to a store manager, she said ‘That’s me. You’re stuck with me’. Wow. I was completely blown away. Ultimately she said ‘You don’t want any resolution’ and finally did the paperwork to issue the refund. I will never go into another LensCrafters store. I will share this experience with my company’s benefits office as well as the insurer. In addition to the incident described, just trying to get these glasses was fraught with problems. Each time I called to see if my glasses were ready, the technician told me they had texted me and I never responded. Well, each time they told me that I asked what number they contacted and it was not my number. Each time. And each time I asked them to correct it and it was never corrected. I am done with LensCrafters. Lastly, the “30 day happiness guarantee” means nothing when the manager, of all people, doesn’t understand her role in managing people, service and policy.

    It took 10 weeks and four pairs of glasses later for me to receive a pair of trifocals that did not line up on both lenses. it was explained to me over and over that they had 40 years of experience between the two lab technicians that they had. It ended with the manager telling me there was nothing else that they could do. I then took the glasses to Eyemart who were able to shave some of the lenses off of one lens and turn the other lens to line them up to where they would fit into the glasses frames that I received. With 40 years of experience I would have expected them to do the same. It was the most horrible experience I've ever had with my glasses and I've been wearing glasses for over 30 years.

    I have been going to Lenscrafters for over 20 years and wearing glasses for over 35 years. The customer service is HORRIBLE compared to how it used to be. I ordered a pair of glasses back in March. All stores stopped doing adjustments due to COVID, so I had to wait until July to pick them up. I returned them over the phone and repurchased when they re-opened to full services. When I finally was able to pick them up, the fish-bowl effect was overpowering and nothing was helping. The "lab guy" was very upset that I had a problem and argued with me in the middle of the store in front of my husband and other customers. I decided to try smaller frames and give this company another chance. The 2nd pair was almost 2 weeks late and they never bothered to call or text to me to let me know.

    When I called to check on the status, the manager, Tracy, said "other people are waiting too, it's not just you". Great customer service. When the 2nd pair came in, they had a very distinctive blurry spot in the center of both lenses. It was like there was no prescription in the lens, is the only way I can describe it. The frames were also bent (perhaps when the lenses were installed) and the Lenscrafters employees were NOT HAPPY that adjustments needed to be made. I should have taken a picture of the 2nd frames before I returned them. You could tell just by looking at me that they sat way too high up and off to the side. It looked like someone smacked me in the face with a book and bent my glasses.

    When the 2nd pair was taken back, the employee made a really rude comment that I "have been going back and forth for a while". I'd been in their store twice in 6 months. The manager was also present was equally as rude as she had been on the phone the week before. Bottomline, they want you to spend $400+ and be on your way. They don't want to make sure you are satisfied with your purchase and make it crystal clear that they don't want to deal with you. Considering this company deals with VISION, I think they need to do a better job at hiring compassionate employees. I can see why store in Champaign, IL has been downsized to 1/4 of the size it used to be. If you enjoy glasses that don't fit, lenses that aren't clear, employees that are blatantly rude and feeling like a burden at the eye doctors office, by all means, go to Lenscrafters!!

I was told today that I have to wait another week before I can get them. This is totally unexceptable. I paid cash for them without insurance and I shouldn't have to wait a month to get my glasses.

    I had an eye exam and used my insurance and addition money to buy 2 pair of glasses. The total was over 1000.00! The prescription is wrong and went back to be re-examined. The dR was shoving different lenses under my eye, rushing me to make a decision of which looked better. He gave me no time to blink or adjust. Then in a rude tone, told me he would not change my prescription! They do have a return policy, however will not refund the eye exam! So even if I return them, I will now have to pay out of my own pocket to get glasses I can actually see out of! I do not even trust them in doing my benefit refund nor what I paid out of pocket. I have always had to go back and have a different Dr. redo my prescription, however they always fixed it. I’m just finished with them forever! Although I get the best deal with them and my insurance, it not worth my time and aggravation anymore! NEVER AGAIN!

    I purchased high quality, complex prescription lens from Lenscrafters for almost $500. The lens film disintegrated rendering clear vision difficult within a few months. First appointment to address issue was canceled by Lenscrafters. Attempts to reschedule delayed by both Lenscrafters then pandemic. Appointment revealed that my prescription has changed little but lens needed to be replaced. Sales technician acknowledged the lens were disintegrated, offered new lens at cost of almost $600 with "higher quality" lens. Then when I protested, technician offered me a $50 discount if I also purchased frames. I left at this point, extremely frustrated.

    I emailed Lenscrafters with complaint. Lenscrafters directed me to link to file complaint, which I did. Lenscrafters' response was that it was up to the store to decide then they recommended I purchase new lens...really?! I responded that I remain disappointed that the company does not stand by the product they sell and not take responsibility when said product is clearly defective. I am a life-long (50+ years) wearer of glasses and they should last 3-5 years barring any significant changes in vision, not less than one year...especially when paying top dollar for "high quality"! Shame on you for being all about the money and not the people, who work hard to earn the money you take so casually.

    If I could give 0 stars, I would. During the pandemic, while Lenscrafters was closed, my 8 year old broke their glasses and needed replacements. The process to receive a new pair of glasses while stores were closed was a nightmare. We had purchased the replacement insurance at the time we purchased his glasses. To be able to receive a new pair, we had to first send the broken pair of frames to lenscrafters/luxxotica (their parent company). Then we had to wait 10-14 BUSINESS days for them to "process" the broken glasses (take them out of a bin and check them to be sure they are broken is what a customer rep told me over the phone). Only then would they ship my son a new pair of glasses that would take an additional 7-14 BUSINESS days, so really like 1 1/2 - 3 weeks to get back to my child.

    My child had to go without glasses for 3 WEEKS and develop headaches nearly every single day! Because lenscrafters couldn't possibly just send a new pair of frames as soon as we notified them they were broken! Sorry I'm not rich enough to have a back up pair of glasses for my kid, they got glasses for the first time this past December, and we just couldn't afford two pairs right off the bat. Also when I called customer service to find out the status of when they would ship because we had already been waiting 2 weeks. I asked if they would overnight the glasses because my child had been experiencing headaches everyday. I was told that next day air was not possible. EXCUSE ME?! If you can ship out packages ground, you can certainly do it next day air. UPS (the carrier luxxotica was using) will send your package anyway you ask them to.

    I used to work in a shipping department and know exactly how shipping out customers packages works. And it is possible to send packages next day air, at least if you are within the continental 48 which I and lenscrafters/luxxotica are. AND especially if and when you are one of the largest eyeglass retailers in the country! Customer service failed on so many levels. I will not be using them ever again.

    I had an exam at Lenscrafters yesterday. The doctor was incredible and I was very pleased with the thorough exam and her sincere care for my health. Then it was time to select frames; this is where it went downhill. Although I had told them initially that I had just opened a Care Credit account the night before, they failed to mention that they would not accept an electronic card and needed the "hard card" to process payment. Logic would tell you that I didn't receive it in the mail overnight. But ok, I'll just wait until it comes in the mail.

    Then I thought that maybe I could just order them from Lenscrafters online and enter my card info. I was shocked to see that the frames I had selected were almost $75 cheaper online and the lenses were also cheaper! Odd!!! I called the Temecula Promenade store back today to ask if they would honor THEIR OWN COMPANY'S online pricing and they said NO! The only reason I didn't order them on the Lenscrafters site was that you can't order bifocals or progressives online. I will NEVER do business with this company as their pricing is deceptive and they wasted a great deal of my time.

    On May 16, I placed an online order for eyeglasses for my young son. After being informed 5 days later that Lescrafters was unable to open the pdf of the prescription, I received verification from Jason T on 5/25 stating "Perfect! We have everything we need. Your order has been sent off to our prescription lab and can be expected in 5-7 business days. Once the order ships, you will receive a shipping confirmation with your UPS tracking number."

    A week later, 6/1, having heard nothing, I inquired about the status and was informed the prescription "has been sent to the lab" and I should expect shipping confirmation in 5-7 days. Days passed with no confirmation. An inquiry on 6/5 indicated that the prescription had not been sent until 6/1 and ... you guessed it ... I should expect confirmation in 5-7 days. This time, the rep "Glen" said for the first time that the prescription had not been verified until 6/1. This is certainly NOT what I was told on 5/25 or 6/1. I understand that with the pandemic normal turn around times may be impossible, but the company should be upfront about it and not repeatedly lie about timeframes. It is incredibly frustrating.

    I purchased a pair of eyeglasses following my eye exam march 30th. Two weeks later, which was the estimated arrival date, the store had closed. No information was provided on my order. I filled out the form provided on the Lenscrafters customer care line multiple times and never received any emails or calls regarding whether or not my order was going to be shipped to me. My local store in Columbiana Centre opened today, May 18th, and none of the associates in the store were able to provide me with information as to where my order was or the status and just repeated to me that they had not been receiving shipments due to COVID-19 closures.

    Bottom line, an establishment should not open its doors until they have sorted through any of the issues or back orders caused by store closures. They are subjecting their workers to, rightfully so, frustrated customers simply due to the lack of organization that is being left for the store associates to deal with. I understand that COVID-19 has led to unforeseen circumstances that are causing difficulty and increase in wait times for everyone involved, but there is no excuse for the fact that I have placed an order nearly two months ago now and am unable to reach anyone who can give me the slightest bit of information as to its whereabouts.

    I am a first time customer at Lenscrafters and I had purchase my glasses in February 2020 at the Eastview Mall in Victor, after 3 weeks the lens started to peel. So I took the glasses back and got the lens corrected within 24 hours. I had initially paid for non-scratch, so before I leave I made sure to ask if this would happen again and I was told "no" yet, surprisingly the same problem reoccured once more. This time it spread like wildfire which made it difficult for me to see. Since I depend on my glasses for every bit of reading, whenever I use it I would have to squint my eyes to see from a little spot that was not affected as yet. It gives me a severe headache and I actually feels like my sight has deteriorated as a result of that. I tried contacting the office that gives a 1800 number for assistance several times which is of no help.

    All the Representative did was tried selling me another pair of glasses while ignoring my situation with an attitude of NEXT!!! I kept on calling the 1800 number plus conversing with the online chat to see if I could at least get a replacement but that was just a waste of time. Instead I was promised when the store open after COVID-19 then I could come in or someone would contact me within 24 hours. My contention is "what happens if COVID-19 is not resolved until another year or two?" Doesn't Lenscrafters has a planned solution for their customers except for selling new glasses and ignoring a possible problem? Since I have been wearing glasses I have never had such problem with my lens and I do have a stock of old ones and the lens are still going good. What can Lenscrafters do to resolve this situation immediately?

    2 weeks later and my contact order is finally fulfilled! The only reason I wasted my time on LensCrafters was because it was covered under my insurance. I attempted to order contacts 4 different times and was denied each time without any information as to why. The last LensCrafters representative I contacted emailed me and suggested that I call my doctor to get more information regarding my prescription but failed to inform me what was missing. This was after I sent an exact copy of my prescription to LC from my doctor like I have done in the past without any issues. Within these past 2 weeks, I emailed 4 times, called 3 times, and attempted to chat to an online rep 3 times.

    I was left on hold for 42 minutes when I called and never even spoke to an actual person, it took 72 hours to respond back to me (if at all) via email and they did not provide any assistance regarding the actual issue, and I waited for 1 hour and 25 minutes to chat with a representative online. It took her 2 minutes to inform me that my order was actually on the way.... What?! I never received a confirmation that this last order was even accepted and apparently all of a sudden they decided to accept my prescription. This was the most frustrating experience I have ever had regarding an order from anywhere. You would think a large company like this would be a little more organized but unfortunately, they rely too much on automated systems to run their business. I am so disappointed with LensCrafters.

I was told I did not need to return for verification that the trial contacts were working fine because I had used that brand before.

I have moved 4 hours away and am not able to visit that location. I am highly frustrated as my contact is torn and my prescription glasses are not the correct prescription. I have attempted to schedule an appointment elsewhere, however, I am also unable to do so.

    On September 24, 2019 I ordered a pair of eyeglasses after cataract surgery. As a senior citizen, I was pleased to learn that Medicare covers the cost of your first pair of glasses post cataract surgery. When my exam was done, I chose glasses. I completed the transaction with Amanda, the manager at the Saratoga Springs location. She took my Medicare information and typed it into the system. She then informed me that it takes about three months to receive a reimbursement from medicare. I waited for the allotted amount of time, and after not receiving a reimbursement from Medicare, I contacted them. The agent informed me that no paperwork had ever been filed for this claim.

    I then called LensCrafters customer service department. At the time, I did not have my receipt and they were unable to locate my information in their system. I returned to LensCrafters and waited to speak to Amanda. She showed me the information on her computer screen that showed the words “Other insurance- Medicare.” Although it did not indicate that a claim had been made, I believed her when she said that that showed the paperwork had been filed.

    Again, I waited for another month and, once again, returned to LensCrafters. Amanda was no longer working at that location, so I spoke to the assistant manager. After a back and forth, she informed me that LensCrafters does not file claim forms for Medicare. I received a reprint of my receipt and contacted Medicare. They notified me that it would take several weeks to receive a form to request medical payment.

    Fast forward to today. I finally received the forms and called Medicare with questions. The agent informed me that I needed to use a Medicare approved vendor. To my surprise, LensCrafters is not on the list. After over five months of waiting, I am now out $853.80! I am disappointed that I will not be compensated for my glasses. LensCrafters was very quick to take my money and misinformed me in the process. Had I known that I needed an approved vendor prior to our transaction, I would have purchased my glasses elsewhere. I do not recommend LensCrafters and they have lost a long standing customer.

    I stopped in to LensCrafters to try and get new frames with my new prescription. I told the woman that waited on me EXACTLY what I wanted before we went through the whole ordering process. I mentioned this to her at least three times including at the end of the transaction just to be sure. She assured me. Long story short, I did not get what I asked for and in fact, I found out that I had 2 levels down in quality of lenses that I had when I walked in. Essentially, I was lied to in order that she made a sale at my expense. If she had told me that LensCrafters could not match the quality of my original lenses then I would have said ok and walked out of the store! NONE of this would have happened. NONE.

    I managed to get my money back from the supervisor the day I came in to return these glasses but she was doing her best to pressure me into keeping these glasses if I would let them turn their lenses into transitionals, at no extra charge to me. NO way. They were trying to salvage the sale with features I wasn't the least bit interested in.

    After all of this, I simply asked Jill if they could let me keep these glasses until my new ones came in from a different store since my eyes had adjusted to the new prescription. The answer was no. I have suffered from migraines all my life and I simply didn't want to go through changing my poor eyes back to the old prescription in the meantime. They couldn't even do that much. I offered to leave something of collateral and they refused that. I would have left whatever was agreeable just to avoid a migraine. All the supervisor could do was repeat herself about their store policy. This was LensCrafters fault and their employee, not mine!

    CONSUMER BEWARE! I went to LensCrafters to get contacts. I went through the process of getting fitted and trained on how to use and maintain my contacts. The trial contacts were ordered when I completed my eye exam. I was told it would take 4-5 weeks as my contacts were special order. Approximately two weeks after that I received a call from a store rep who told me there was a problem with ordering the contacts; that they were having a communication problem with the fax machine (really? a fax machine?) so now the order would be delayed in excess of the normal 4-5 weeks. When the contacts finally arrived a few weeks later, I received training at the store. I was then told I should order a supply of contacts. I was planning to order a 12-month supply, however when they told me that the contacts that I need cost $448.20 for a 6-month supply, I only ordered 6-months.

    Now I had to wait another 4-5 weeks for my permanent prescription order to arrive. During that time, I was to use the trial pair they ordered. I have never worn contacts before and somehow, about three weeks along, one of the contacts ripped. I called the store and was told that the trial pair was the only pair they ordered; I would have to wait for my permanent order to be delivered. I was going away in two days and really needed to wear my contacts. I was taken aback when they told me that they only ordered one trial pair. One trial pair for a person that has never worn contacts. This just make no sense. If that contact had ripped the within the first week, I would never have had any experience using contacts before my permanent, $448.00 order arrived. After the permanent order arrived, I continued to have problems with contacts ripping. So, now 4-months along, I had to order another 6-month supply.

    I ordered the new contacts from a website. The same manufacturer, same contacts, same 4-5 weeks for delivery; only $219.98 for a 6-month supply. I can guess that LensCrafters pays less than I did so that means I was charged over 100% mark up! I personally find this a violation of trust. I expect to pay some markup but over 100% is offensive. So, before I gave a poor review of LensCrafters, I thought I would give them a chance to make things right. I was told by their rep that they are unwilling to do anything about this matter because the 30-day post sale period is over. Keep in mind that I trusted that I was not getting taken advantage of, so I did not feel the necessity to look at the whole picture until long after their 30-day post sale period for complaints or requests for refunds. I will never do business with LensCrafters or anyone associated with them ever again. I recommend that anyone else do the same.

    I loved the FL Lenscrafters I went to where I got new glasses in 2017. My prescription got better every year for distance and reading rarely changed. No issues getting progressives with transitions at an in store lab in 2 hours and only one issue ever and it was quickly fixed. I moved to TN and needed a replacement pair because I physically destroyed mine. The prescription hadn’t changed but I was told I had to get a new script to get new glasses. The eye doctor made the script too strong and when I saw what he wrote I told him I was concerned because I’ve never had numbers that high. He told me he wished he could use bar codes so people couldn’t see what he wrote. That’s like a doctor wanting to keep someone in the dark about a med being given - not knowing the name of it.

    Waited 2 weeks to get glasses that were way too strong. I was told I would have to get used to them. I’ve worn progressives for decades and never was told it would take weeks and maybe months to get used to. I got migraines every time I put them on so only wore them to read. I went back saying they were too strong. I was told I was wrong but was told the measurements were wrong. 2 more weeks and they were still too strong. Then the transitions quit going back to clear. 2 more sets of lenses waiting two weeks each and still too strong. I called corporate to get my old script back. 2 more weeks to get those glasses. So I’ve waited over 2 months to get lenses that were correct. That would never happened at the in store lab in FL.

    I’m done with Lenscrafters. I pay cash and close to $700 and have to fight to get the script that was correct and wait so long to get the correct lenses. Let’s see if these continue to transition. I’m told they’re the fastest and newest transitions and I’ve had only problems with them. NEVER again!!! They don’t care about customers any more.

Took one week for the lenses to arrive - I returned to the store to pick up. When I tried on the glasses (for which my receipt states a retail value of 849.67,) I could not see out of the right lens. Sales rep said to give it a couple days to see if my eyes adjust to it. I had a follow-up appt with my optometrist as I was in the process of trying a new brand of contacts... While there, I made the complaint about my vision issue with the new eyeglass prescription for the right-eye. Upon checking the strength of the right lense, Optometrist informed me that the lens was made using the wrong power and axis.

    Since I was already awaiting an order for contact lenses from Lenscrafters, my thought was to take care of everything with as few visits to the store as possible and called to inform them about my optometrist's findings regarding the right lens. If the lab didn't need the frames to make the first set of lenses, and the store verified they still have the measurements, why would they need the frames for a re-order? Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to ask this.

    Instead: Oh, how dare I use my own optometrist? And what nerve I have calling the store for a solution.

    Not only was I treated with such disrespect from their "manager on duty", when I asked to speak with a different person, their "general manager" just couldn't be bothered to hear me out. While the MOD could be heard in the background calling me names, the GM couldn't read me their return policy fast enough to get me off the phone. When I tried to explain that I was waiting on my contacts to arrive, she was too busy telling me to just return the glasses, get a refund, and go elsewhere that I couldn't even get ten words out!

    The Regional Manager who responded to my corporate complaint was far from a better experience. Not only did she NOT apologize for my experience, she reported my complaint to be "resolved" without ever delivering on her promise. Called corp support again today - it's been three weeks now since I paid for the glasses I can't wear - and they tell me I have to wait for another 5 days before they can escalate my concern past the regional mgr...

    She had promised to have a return pkg sent to me so that I would not have to return to the store and deal with the very people who were the catalysts to my complaint - which btw is a solution I had to ask for since her only offer was for me to drive to a store more than a 100 miles away! Not only was there absolutely no follow-up nor follow-through, corp states that the RM will need to call the store to see if the store manager mailed out the pkg (why wasn't this done immediately?)... Since the store "managers" are the very source of my dissatisfaction, I'm hard pressed to believe that either of them have any integrity. At this point, my sanity is more important than the +800.00 spent between my insurance company and me... Now, I am reaffirmed as to why I stopped going to Lenscrafters more than 10 years ago. I will NEVER return. Buy from them at your own risk - and pray that you never have to make an exchange!

    I had my eyes examined next door. LensCrafters checked my current glasses and made me a new pair. I paid for the glasses on my initial visit. Each pair is a two weeks wait. When I received my new glasses, I could see better without glasses. And, my eyesight is very poor. LensCrafters requested that I have my eyes rechecked. I got a slightly different prescription. LensCrafters made me a new pair of glasses. I still could see more clearly without glasses.

    LensCrafters sent me back again to get my eyes re-rechecked. I did and had a third set of glasses made. When received, I still could not see anything, close or far away, clearly. The store manager came out upset and looked at my old lenses. They were of a much higher quality (in his words) than the lenses they had sold me. So, LensCrafters made me another pair of glasses. When they finally came in, I still couldn't see. A fourth person at the same location watched me try to read a large advertisement on their inner wall. I had to look up and down to read it. She discovered that the progressive part of the lens was in the wrong location for how I had wore glasses for the past 50 years. The LensCrafter personnel asked if I would wear the glasses down at the end of my nose, instead of where I have wore my glasses my entire life.

    The store manager was angry and said they would make one last pair and that is all they could do. Well, all of the errors were theirs and they are now showing hostility towards me. They made the glasses, but, I never picked them up. I went elsewhere in town and got the great pair of glasses the first time. I will never go to LensCrafters again. I had prior issues with LensCrafters for my son's glasses. I guess I didn't learn. I've waiting a year to author this review. Caveat emptor (i.e. buyer beware)!! Sincerely, Michael.

My prescription was 10 times higher than what the DR. wrote. Had to be remade. (Extra time and trip.) The associate thought he could fix them by bending them! My total price was 621.34.

    Vision is very important, so thinking Lenscrafters was the best, I made a significant investment purchasing 2 glasses and lenses. Very day I picked them up I had to return them because I tried to read something and realized a water looking smudge in lens which distorted my vision whenever I tried reading... Less than 3 months later I realized the scratch proof lenses I purchased started getting scratched despite proper care. They replaced at that point again, so I asked specifically to not put anti-scratch coating of which they said it’s mandatory.

    Few months later again it started, but now I realized that these aren’t scratches, the coating actually started deteriorating, in so much that now I can’t see anything through them. Being that I couldn’t see properly I actually injured myself at work because I couldn’t see the sharp edges on a product I was installing. Got hurt badly, took glasses off and then realized that the product had those sharp edges. Contacted Lenscrafters by phone, email and walked in, no one wants to help because they know that there extremely high priced products are defective. Reading reviews now, I realized that many people have the very same issue.

    I came to have an eye exam in Polo Park (Winnipeg, MB) and the prescription was absolutely wrong. They prescribed -25 when all my previous glasses that I use for more than 5 years were always prescribed with -75. They rely solely on a new machine that do all the job but it is clearly out of calibration. If that is the case, then they should find a new optometrist, he is not doing anything. He is totally useless.

    Then, when I came back to redo the exam, the optometrist gave me the worst attitude and tried to make me feel dumb. I have to argue with him to get my glasses fix. If all he does is just use the machine, they should just put that machine on the floor and get rid of him (like the new machines by the movie theatres). I absolutely recommend anybody to avoid LensCrafters. They are bad big time.

    I purchased a pair of glasses from Lenscrafters in Chicago Ridge Mall in Chicago Ridge, IL paying $570.00 after insurance, in February 2018. After some months, little smudges and what looked like scratches started appearing. I'm 66 years old. I take good care of my glasses. I brought them back to the store. At first they asked if I had a protection plan, no I did not. Then they said they were defective and replaced the lenses free of charge.

    Now after 7 months, the lenses have spots and look like they're disintegrating. Very hard to see out of. Every day that I wake up, there's more scratchy spots on them. I use water and an eyeglass cloth to clean them. My old glasses that were 2 years old don't look anything like that. I have never had glasses look like this in the 30+ years I have worn glasses. Went back to the store, they cannot replace lenses because the prescription is old. I requested a refund on the cost of the lenses. The mgr, Andrew said not possible. He told me that I did not use the approved cleaning solution. He also asked me if I wore my glasses everyday. It's my fault. He can work with me on getting a new pair. I cannot go back to that store. Being accused of being a liar and I'm not going to take a chance that the new lenses will be defective too.

    Sorry that this review is so long, there is just a lot to say about my Lenscrafters experience and I believe I need to share everything that happened, so you can make a choice if you want to buy from Lenscrafters. I recently went to my eye doctor's and received a new prescription for my contacts and glasses. Several eye care stores, including Lenscrafters told me that my current frames were too old and the people who worked there were afraid that my frames would snap when putting in the new lenses. I decided to try Lenscrafters because they have such a big selection of frames and I was excited to try something new. I picked my new frames and was told that my glasses would take about a week to come in because I have such a high prescription, which I completely understood and had no problem with.

    I received a text when my glasses were in and when I tried on my glasses, this is when things started to go wrong. I told the lady who was helping me that my new glasses felt very crooked on me, and she adjusted them a little bit, but told me that my eyebrows are uneven, so my glasses may appear to not be straight, but they actually are. Later when I went home, I looked ridiculous because of how crooked my glasses were. I am not kidding, you could not even see one of my eyebrows because of how crooked they were. I have been wearing glasses since kindergarten and I am now 22, and I have always been able to see both eyebrows while wearing my glasses. I am still not sure why the woman did not want to adjust my glasses. I have never dealt with someone who was so quick to tell me that the glasses were fine, while I was trying to explain that they looked and felt crooked.

    I also realized that my left lens had a small chip on the side and that's when I noticed how thick my lenses looked too. I know I have a very high prescription (-8.75 and -9.75 in glasses) and I am used to the lenses sticking out a little on the sides, but the entire lenses were sticking out so far. I was upset that they were so thick. I wear my glasses a lot of the time and these glasses from Lenscrafters were over 500 dollars, I was expecting something better.

    A few days later, I returned to the store and a different lady helped me. I explained that my new glasses were crooked, and that the lenses were extremely thick, and I was just not happy with how everything looked. The woman took one look at my glasses and told me that they were not beveled, and that the arms were very loose as well. She then put the glasses on the table and told me that yes they were very crooked. I explained that the lady who originally helped me told me that my eyebrows were uneven, but this new lady told me that she does not tell by eyebrows if glasses are crooked. She said that she could look at the glasses and see that the arms were too wide and that one of the arms was nowhere near the table when sitting them down.

    So I was learning that my glasses were not completely finished, but no one seemed to look at my glasses to see this! A lady from the lab beveled my glasses and explained that my glasses were made in a warehouse and then shipped to their store, but apparently no one even glanced at my glasses to see the chip or the lenses that were sticking out of the frames. The lady explained that there has been a few problems with glasses being shipped to their location when the glasses can't be made in their store, but if there have been problems, I don't understand why no one would then look at the glasses and check to make sure that every pair is okay. When I returned to the store, the two women that helped me were extremely patient and kind, which I appreciated, I was just very frustrated that this happened.

    I was told that when glasses are shipped to their store and not actually made in their location, the glasses are supposed to be ready to be handed out to the customers, but that is simply not true. I was much happier with my glasses when they were actually finished. They were straight on my face, the arms were tight, and the lenses were dramatically thinner, much less obnoxious than how my glasses originally looked.

    Also, during this visit while I was working to get the glasses finished, the woman who originally sold me the glasses and fitted (not really) the glasses on me once they came in, was staring at me the entire time. She obviously recognized me and I am sure she was just curious as to what was wrong, but she was just staring and staring and staring, it was so unprofessional. I tried my best to ignore her, but it was just so strange. I ended up contacting corporate and received a discount for all my troubles, which was nice. The story is not over yet.

    After a few days of wearing the glasses, I began to realize that the arm pieces were too tight and the glasses would actually creak when I opened and closed the arm pieces. I also brought the glasses to my eye doctor's to get the prescription checked because I was seeing double while wearing them and since Lenscrafters was messing up so badly, I thought maybe my prescription in the glasses was wrong.

    The prescription was actually correct, but the employee who was helping me in my eye doctor's showed me that the arm pieces were so tight that you could move the arm pieces wider or thinner and the arms were so tight, the glasses would stay in any way you would mold them in. I am assuming that every single time I put on my glasses, they fit differently, which maybe would change how I was seeing out of them, making me see double. I strongly believe that my frames were defective, so who knows, the lenses could have been as well. I ended up calling Lens Crafters and explained that even though I was receiving a discount for the glasses, and I appreciated that, I wanted a full refund because the glasses were just a mess.

    I did go to the store again, and returned the glasses with no problems, which was very nice. I then went to a Walmart Vision Center and got a pair of glasses that were only about $250 and the quality is amazing and I do regret not going to Walmart in the first place. I will not be returning to Lenscrafters. I should have looked at reviews of Lenscrafters, and seen all of these poor reviews because I would not have tried Lenscrafters. I recommend just going to a Walmart Vision Center. So much cheaper and so much better. Oh, and I see fine out of the Walmart glasses, I do not see double, so I am assuming everything about the frames/lenses from Lenscrafters were defective.

    I came in because I thought it had been exactly one year - according to their mail received saying I was due for my exam. When I came in for my yearly exam I didn't find out until the very end that my Insurance would not be billed since I'm allowed one per year, and it had not been a year yet. They completely scammed me out a full cost eye exam. Once I left I was able to purchase contacts elsewhere.

    It has not been a year yet and I need additional contacts. I went to purchase more and come to find out that the first time I purchased my contacts - Lenscrafters used my previous year prescription to fulfill my order through a 3rd party. And now that prescription is expired. They are not releasing my prescription from the last eye exam I had because I never followed up with the doctor about a new lens he wanted me to try out. I didn't like the lens, so I did not return. I ordered what I always had ordered in the past.

    Why would a company take my hard earned money for an exam they failed to give me a heads up on regarding my insurance - then additionally withhold my prescription I'm entitled to after the exam was paid in full. They will not release it due to my lack of follow up? The follow up was about a different lens to try and nothing to do with my prescription which had remained the same for years in a row.

    When I had a prescription change for my glasses, I went to Lenscrafters. They measured me for progressive lenses with an iPad app so I expected great results. When I got my glasses, I could not see at all. The manager resolved the issue by looking at the lens prescription and making modifications without taking any new measurements from me wearing the glasses. The new lenses were fine.

    I took out the extended care warranty to replace lenses of frames in case of damage. Last week I ordered replacement lenses (same prescription) as my current lenses were scratched a bit. This week, I went to have the new lenses put in. The NEW left lens had a deep scratch that was worse than the lens I was replacing. And, the NEW right lens had buff marks in the plastic that caused a bad halo effect looking at lights.

    The manager has ordered a new set of lenses, but this happened to me a few years ago as well. Lenscrafters could not produce a clean set of lenses right out of the lab. Note, that this is there off-site lab, not the onsite lab. My prescription can't be done in a day.

    I normally don’t write reviews but I felt it’s necessary to write a review of this location and Lenscrafters in general. Don’t ignore the negative reviews, and don’t always believe the positive reviews since it often is propped up by employees. At your first visit, most Lenscrafters will treat you like royalty after your eye exam, hoping you shell out hundreds of dollars for overpriced Chinese-made glasses that break just as easily as any others. They’ll use deceptive pricing and discounts, like a continual promo of nearly half-off an already astronomical price to begin with, which many consumers have wised up to, and now purchase from cheaper outlets online. You basically pay extra for lip service and for their high rent, being situated in high-end malls to make it appear more luxurious or elite, which doesn’t add any real value to the cheaply made product itself.

    I give them credit, you are treated generally well when you are initially helped, as they want to sell you on overpriced glasses. However, they treat you like an unwanted leper if you have any concerns later on with your glasses, or if you accidentally damage your glasses and want to use the protection plan they sold you on (which costs extra to buy, and it costs even more when you want to replace your glasses). They’ll tell you how some customers have tried to pull a fast one on them in the past (however that’s done, I don’t know), but they really don’t need to act like some sort of condescending sleuth when an honest customer needs to use their protection plan for their damaged glasses.

    I was patient and polite, since I just wanted to replace my glasses instead of quibbling in return with them, however the ladies I dealt with at this location and others were just plain bat crap crazy and completely out of line. They acted overly authoritative and unhelpful, so they must have been on a power trip being in a managerial role. Each store creates its own rules apparently, so anything they tell you at one Lenscrafters won’t hold up at another location when you relocate (some locations haphazardly determine eligibility for using the warranty, like if your cat gets a hold of glasses, or they get run over, or if they're not scratched enough). I’ll spare you all the details of my stressful experience with this chain, as I just want to get my main points across without writing a novel.

    I just know that after being talked down to, with them raising their voice and acting condescending and smug, like some sort of tag team that won’t assist a loyal repeat customer who shelled out literally thousands of dollars over the years, I just don’t see the point returning to this Lenscrafters. You’ll find the same games when you move and go to another location, since they discretely write notes in your file, casting you in bad light so you’ll be treated like a leper at any other location you go to. After realizing other Lenscrafters in this area have similar issues (read reviews), I’m not alone in how I perceive this business.

    Once you read deeper into the company itself, you understand it’s part of a much larger entity, Luxottica, a foreign company (pays no taxes like Amazon, etc?). Luxottica owns the whole spectrum of companies involved in your eye glass purchase with its monopolistic practices. It goes full circle. They own the insurer you most likely have (EyeMed), most eyeglass retail chains (Lenscrafters, Pearle Vision, etc.), and the manufacturers (Ray-Ban, Persol, Oakley, etc.).

    If you give any hint of wanting to get your prescription and shop elsewhere, you’ll be given the runaround, and you’ll find that you’re limited to buying from one of Luxottica’s retail chains with your EyeMed insurance. The truth is, you’re better off buying cheap glasses from another retailer without any protection plan, than buying new ones when they fall apart a year later and your prescription has already changed then anyways. I spent a small fortune at Lenscrafters over the years and regret it, and after the way I was treated, I won’t spend another dime on this monopolistic company ever again.

    11-year-old daughter Samantha went for a routine eye exam. Turns out her eyes are healthy and doesn’t need glasses yet. We thought she was just getting a routine Eye exam. My husband was asked to sign some paperwork which he thought was all routine. So instead of charging $20 for a co-pay for a regular eye exam they charged us almost $100 ($98). When I called my insurance company they said it’s very unusual for all these test for routine eye exam on an 11-year-old child. So we were duped into additional testing just so they can make more money!

    Stay away from Dr. Nick ** Tulsa Oklahoma Woodland Hills Mall LensCrafters. Anywhere but here! I called and spoke to Cameron. She was very rude and condescending and refused to refund anything for the extra tests that were not necessary for my 11-year-old daughter whom had healthy eyes! Only went for a routine Eye exam. This is unethical and I don’t know how they sleep at night!!!!

    I have been going to Lencrafters for years buying my glasses there and the first time I have a problem they tell me lies. They said my lens were scratch proof and guarantee for the first year but when I went back they said the glasses were not covered. I paid $900.00 for my glasses that they will not cover. The Willowbrook staff told me they could not print my receipt up. That was not the truth either. They said they would give me new lens for 40% of 750.00 Yet they originally only charged me 400. I should be only paying around 200.00 for new lens. They don't want to make a long time customer happy after spending almost 900 on glasses. Willowbrook people will tell you anything to sell you glasses. Be aware of what they say and get it in writing. Never going back to this company again. The staff just laugh at me and said sorry. Not good enough.

    On May 17th, just over 2 weeks ago, I placed an order for a pair of prescription eyeglasses. I uploaded the prescription from my doctor in order to make it easier (and quicker, since I'm having issues with my contact lenses and NEED my glasses) for LensCrafters to fulfill my order. LC asks for "5-7 business days" to process an order, and then for you to allow time for shipping. No problem. I'm thinking that I'll probably fall closer to the 5 days since I uploaded my script and they would not need to go "chasing" it from my doctor. Either way, if it took 7 days, that was fine too, since they gave me that notice in advance.

    Fast forward to Thursday, May 30 - It has now been exactly 9 business days (not including the holiday on May 20th) since placing my order, and, as it does every day since ordering, my order status is showing as "in process," not shipped, not completed. Nope. Still in process. So I called their customer service line, and the gentleman (if you can call him that) who answered was extremely rude and hung up on me. He did not provide his name, he did not verify MY name, and when I said that I wanted LC to give me expedited shipping at no cost to me given how long they are taking, he simply said "fine" and disconnected the call.

    I called back and spoke with a woman who was very sweet and who advised that due to system issues, LensCrafters had been having issues getting orders completed and sent out, and that - upon review AND upon having her supervisor review - it was determined that my glasses were "getting their finishing touches" (their words, exactly), and that they were going to be mailed out the following day (Friday, May 31).

    Today is June 3, and as of today, the website STILL shows my order as "in process," so once again I called LC. The girl - Jasmine - who answered was completely ineffective and not helpful. She tried to blame it on the fact that LC needs time to process prescriptions (time which they clearly indicate on their website will take 5-7 business days, and never mind the fact that we are now ELEVEN days out from when I placed my order). I asked for a supervisor and she said none was available. I asked for her supervisor's supervisor, and she said she couldn't direct me to her supervisor's supervisor until I'd spoken with her *unavailable* supervisor. Jasmine told me that my eyeglasses were "getting their finishing touches" (hmmm, that sounds familiar), and that they would be mailed out within TWENTY-FOUR TO FORTY-EIGHT HOURS!

    I finally got so upset that I told Jasmine that I wanted to just cancel my order. I do not want to wait any longer, and I want the $600 back on my card so that I can go get a pair of glasses NOW. I was told that it is too late to cancel my order because of "how far along" LensCrafters is in making them. Well it is NOT my problem that they have taken twice as long as promised to even PROCESS them, let alone send them out, and that they REFUSE to let me speak with a supervisor!! Any consumer should have the RIGHT to cancel an order IMMEDIATELY if the company fails to provide the PROMISED services that were paid for!

    Meanwhile, I tried using their online chat, I called AGAIN (and AGAIN got Jasmine) and was AGAIN told I could not speak with a supervisor AND I could not cancel my order - all to no avail. This company is HORRIBLE, and I will NEVER do business with them again. I will be calling my bank to have the payment RETRACTED as I was not provided with the services and the goods that I paid for AS AGREED.

    Poor Customer Service!!!! NEVER SHOP HERE! (Murfreesboro, TN). I went to LensCrafters about 1 month ago to shop for my yearly frames. I picked out two pair of frames totaling $960.00. I spent about an hour and some in the store picking out frames and getting them sized. The individual who waited on me was very kind and sweet. She has helped me in the past. The store does not take my WageWorks flex health card. Last year, this was not an issue. I simply did a claim with WageWorks requesting for them to "pay my provider." WageWorks simply mailed a check directly to the store to pay for my frames.

    This year, I followed the exact same procedure and explained that I would be using the same process. After the check was received at the store, I was informed that the check would not process due to some new system that they have. (This is not a problem and I would not be upset, had I been told this before I took the time and energy to pick out the frames.) It has been over a month since my eye exam and I still do not have my new prescription. The store itself tried to get the check processed for me without success. (Something about needed a PIN number.)

    I then learned that the store no longer takes 3rd party checks. I tried to contact corporate via the website complaint site. I was told that I would receive a call within 5 business days. It has been 7 business days and no call or response. Today, I called the customer service complaint again to follow-up. The agent stated that she read in the updates, that the store cannot take the 3rd party check. However, no one has bothered to call me from the store or the corporate office. Meanwhile, My $1000 check sits at the store. I guess they don't need my money. And guess what? They will not be receiving any more of it. This was a very tacky way to handle this.

    The store could have decided to deposit the check into the LensCrafters' account and pay for my glasses. In the future, I would have known that this was not possible. The responsibility lies with them, as no one communicated that to me, while I was picking them out, getting them sized, or when I voiced that I would be requesting a check from WageWorks to pay the provider directly. This could have all been avoided by letting me know this up front. But what is even more frustrating is that the Corporate office NEVER BOTHERED TO CALL. This has left a very bad taste in my mouth and I will never shop here again. Now, I have to go pick up my check, wait for the funds to go back to my account and start all over again somewhere else. This process has been going on over a month. WHAT BUSINESS HOLDS A $1000 CHECK AND NEVER BOTHERS TO CALL YOU. My anger is with the company, not the sales associate.

    This is my first experience with Lenscrafters and my last. I tried them out because they work with my current insurance. I have been ordering glasses online for over 8 years from other companies so I am very familiar with the online glasses experience. I submitted an order online for some single vision glasses on a Monday. I also submitted my current Prescription. Then on Friday I get an email saying they need my prescription which I already sent. They asked me to fill out a form to allow them access to my local eye doctor's prescription. Which he gave them the exact same paper I already sent in.

    Next, I get an email saying they can not do dual vision glasses so they will be canceling my order. I never asked for dual vision so I had to make another phone call. I had already paid for and selected a single vision lens so I don't understand why they decided to change it to dual vision. I guess since my prescription has numbers for distance and reading, they assumed that's what I really want. The last phone call took 10 minutes. I finally got my order entered and during the process I received 10 emails, sent 3 emails, and made 2 phone calls. This is a lot of time out of my work day. I can not speak to the quality of the glasses as I have not received them yet. I recommend Framesdirect.com. I have several glasses ordered from them and have never had a problem. I just ordered some Oakley Sunglasses from Frames Direct where I have no insurance and it cost way less than Lenscrafters was charging with insurance.

    I have purchased from Lenscrafters in the past 20 years. When I first started to purchase my lens from them they were on top of their game. Quality was the best, the styles offered were above average from other places, and customer service was knowledgable and helpful. This time I ordered 2 pairs for regular and sun glasses. When I picked them up the regular glasses looked fine but fit weird and uncomfortable.

    The sun glasses were so wrong the sales person blamed it on my large prescription and it straightens out the lens so they fit all loose and wrong size. The salesman seemed to really not care or that it even mattered I was unhappy. I was not told this when I purchased them so I returned them on the spot. I waited too long to return the regular lens.... So I'm stuck. I won't ever go back to Lenscrafters. Too many other choices.

    After purchasing a pair of a Ray-Ban frameless glasses, the agent attempted to charge me $738 and when I declined, lowered the price to $377.00. The product was exceptionally flimsy and broke the 2nd day I had them. Returned for new ones, the same thing occurred with then new pair after waiting another three weeks to get them after ordering.

    Driving another 45 miles to the store (the third time round trip, 270 miles) I explained that I was unhappy with my purchase and wanted a refund. The store staff suggested that I get a different frame, and I picked out an Oakley frame they had on display, and asked them to use my progressive prescription that they had on file and measured me for to use in those frames and call when they were ready. I called a week later to determine their status and was told that they had a policy of not putting their clear lenses into Oakley frames, only tinted ones. I indicated I wanted a refund, but they said that the time that I could ask for a refund had expired after thirty days, despite their "two year warranty" that they offer. The store manager was unhelpful and referred me to their corporate office which you can not email or call.

    After numerous complaints and multiple calls to the store about the matter, they referred me to their district manager who not only was unhelpful, but rude, hostile and obnoxious, telling me not to shop at LensCrafters again, as if that were likely. She indicated that the corporate office would make a refund but it would take twenty days to receive. I needed to threaten small claims court legal action to receive my refund. Horrible shopping experience with them, and I would highly recommend using more local, non-chain oriented opticians for better service, honest warranty policy and assurance that your valuable vision is in good care.

    I purchased a pair of reading glasses last April. The eyeglasses were partially covered under my plan but I still had an out of pocket expense of close to $300. I did not purchase the warranty as I never had to with any of my glasses since I only use them for reading. A couple of months ago I realized the lenses were constantly smudgy and had spots on them. Even after cleaning them they still remained. I went back In To the Freehold location which is where I purchased them and was told the lenses needed to be replaced and that the coating was coming off. I was also told that when I purchased them that I was informed of the proper care instructions, which were not to use the cloth over and over because it gets dirty and scratches the coating off.

    That was a lie, I was never told this. Had I been this wouldn’t have happened. They said I had to buy new lenses. I contacted customer service via email and received a response that since I didn’t buy the warranty I’d have to pay. I responded telling them I would be writing reviews and that this was unacceptable and I wanted to speak with the District Manager. Till today I’ve never heard back from anyone.

    I will never go back to the store in NJ - I had lenses replaced in an old pair of frames - the prescription changed very slightly in my everyday pair of glasses, so I was updating my workspace lenses. I handed the frames over to them to cut the new lenses. My old lenses were thrown away - they would not replace the lenses or reimburse me for the lenses that they tossed. The company states that I said "go ahead and throw them away, I don't know what I would do with them anyway" - at no point did I say that and I could very well have used them in case anything happened to the lenses I have now. As it happens, the new lenses are really bad - I am having a terrible time seeing anything... After asking multiple times, they have done nothing - but say that a regional manager has contacted me - all lies. NEVER AGAIN.

Fast forward to today, they're peeling AGAIN!! Only this time they're not covered! Needless to say, I am one unhappy customer. When I purchased my glasses I was told the coating would also prevent smudging and reduce the computer glare.

They smudge so easily you won’t believe it. They also scratch very readily. We’ve had glasses forever, glasses we bought over 10 years ago look better than these from 6 months ago.

    If I were in the business of making money, I might say differently. However, my experience with this company has not been the best. I started with them in another state and then moved. Now I came to rely on them for low cost for my money, having a wide variety of frames from $ to $$$ or above, #1-knowing my vision and #2-getting my glasses in an hour. So far so good, so let's move into more recently.

    Last year I purchased eyeglasses as before and they always talk all that is offered including the insurance. This year I thought I accepted and paid for it. I trusted the rep to include everything I asked for and then I pay, so I thought. I accidentally sat on and broke my frames, so off I went to get them replaced. I was told first that they did not have the frame, then that I had no insurance. They sold me Sferoflex brand frames from a pair of sunglasses to fit the size of my eye they had on file. They are not good at all, but I kept them until now. So, after waiting an hour, they looked fine and I could see, so to the register I go. $398.00 later I am not happy, but I had to wait another year for frames (insurance).

    This year I get frames every year and all the bells and whistles including breakage insurance. I go as usually to Lenscrafters for my exam for specs and can't wait because I cannot see with the sferoflexs at all. I decide on a pair and place all the bells and whistles and what do you know, I am being charged $39 for the breakage insurance and $84 ($123) for some other stuff I am completely covered for. So I asked what the other charges were for and she could not answer. I came prepared this year with federal coverage also. She ran that insurance and it came up $10 more than the new insurance ($133) and again, she could not (or would not) answer what the charges were.

    I also could not help but notice that the rep that sold me the sferoflex frames was no longer working there. I decided to research some other businesses that took my insurance that included the breakage insurance and the bells and whistles. Lenscrafters FAQ's shared that they and several other places prices may vary. Well should have read that first. So, I went with a competitor and purchased a pair of frames that included everything that my insurance covered (it was listed) and my deductible was $0. I get my glasses in 5-7 days and of all places that do adjustments, I was told to go to Lenscrafters and through a contract with this competitor they will do adjustments at no charge to me. I do not understand why the rep did not want to share with me what my costs were or list exactly what was included in the cost, or maybe she was instructed not to tell me what was included.

However an associate overheard this conversation and was very apologetic and assisted me.

    He also shared with me that it was possible that my Persol was made out of solid metal...so it was very likely that if I or anyone was to bend the frame slowly it should be fine... I am sorry I can't recall the associate's name. He should be merited 'cause I myself did take his advice and it Worked... Nevertheless I purchased another pair of glasses with him the same day 'cause my original lenses was scratched.

Anyway, I had to go back 3 times to get the frames adjusted because I had to bob my head up and down when at my computer or even reading the wording in my car visor. I could see better with them off. Today I went to an ophthalmologist and met with the technician. She spent one hour looking at the lenses and said the lenses were not cut correctly. The line for the “no“ line part of the lenses was not straight. It is my fault for not returning these glasses last June, but I wanted consumers to know of my experience. In addition, the staff is not helpful and seemed rushed. The fact that the store was not busy should have been a sign to me.
