    Nearly three hundred bucks for glasses that actually hurt my eyes. When I took them off, my eyes…read morewere literally going in opposite directions. It freaked me out. Keep in mind, this was the second prescription. The first one, a few days earlier, was done via remote in office. What a nightmare. Also got reading glasses with lenses that keep falling out. This is the Matamoras (Westfall) location.

    Unacceptable Service, Inaccurate Prescriptions, Refusal to Refund, and Threatening Behavior at The…read moreOptical & Hearing Center (Matamoras, PA) I had a deeply frustrating and unethical experience at The Optical & Hearing Center in Matamoras, PA, involving multiple failed attempts to provide usable prescriptions for contacts and glasses, refusal to honor basic patient rights, billing disputes, and retaliatory threats. * After three separate visits (including payments for a contact lens fitting and eye exam), they admitted they could not fit me for contacts and referred me to a specialist. I went elsewhere, paid again, and was properly fitted on the first try. * I then ordered glasses for $715. The prescription was inaccurate and the glasses were unusable. Patrick Scully (the manager/optometrist there) refused to correct the issue without charging me an additional $250-$300 to "fix their mistake." They also refused to provide a copy of what they billed my insurance and would not accept returns initially. * I later left the glasses with a female employee. My initial visit was in September; after months of unresolved arguments, I disputed the charges on my credit card in November. The credit card company ruled in my favor. * The business sent the account to collections. The collections agency dropped the claim after I provided documentation (including my chart and proof of the unusable prescription). * Just two days ago, Patrick Scully called me, claiming he had contacted the police, who were coming to my home to arrest me for not returning the glasses. This is false--I had already returned them. He also falsely told the police that I had intentionally defrauded them by disputing charges right after my visit (another lie, as the dispute occurred months later). * They never refunded my insurance company. When my insurance contacted them for documentation, they refused to provide it. My insurance has now escalated the matter, citing potential unethical behavior and insurance fraud. Under federal law (the FTC's Eyeglass Rule) and related state regulations, providers must provide patients with a copy of their prescription and ensure it is usable. This business failed on multiple fronts and appears to be engaging in retaliatory tactics against dissatisfied customers. If you've had similar experiences at any of their locations (Matamoras, PA; Newton, NJ; Oak Ridge, NJ; Stroudsburg, PA; etc.)--such as inaccurate prescriptions, extra charges to correct their errors, refusal to take back defective glasses, threats over civil disputes, or retaliation for negative reviews--please reach out to me at imediagroupnj@gmail.com. I can share an email template to file complaints with the Pennsylvania (or New Jersey) Attorney General's Office, the State Board of Optometry, and other relevant authorities. Reading reviews across their locations shows a pattern of one-star complaints, similar issues, and reports of retaliation for leaving honest feedback. This company needs to be held accountable. No one should face threats or financial harm over a civil dispute like this. Do not let unethical practices continue--share your story and report it.
