    Extremely rude staff. Very small cluttered office. Dr didn't seem to care about needs. Do not recommend.

    Not happy with their customer service. I came to Advanced because they were 5 minutes from my…read morehouse, had a high rating here, decent selection of frames and accepted my insurance. I spent over $700 out-of-pocket on a pair of glasses, and my insurance paid for the rest. Within a month a lens scratched and Advanced repalced it. Less than a year after my purchase what looked like a grain of sand became embedded in a lens. Also I noticed the red paint was starting to chip from the metal frame. I came in and immediately the person at the counter said something like sorry, we no longer carry that brand. Not understanding why that should be my problem, I asked to speak to the manager. He was pretty rude & said there was nothing that could be done about the paint and then acted like he would do me a big favor - rather than standing by his product - by replacing the lens, while trying to make me feel like this was my fault. He expalained that he had the same brand glasses and multiple children who were regularly grabbing them off his face, yet he never had a problem with these glasses. That's a great story, but I'll never return here!

You literally lied to me so what happened was I got a prescription and they sold me some frames so first you tell me the frames are $1200 I'm on disability I'm disabled. I can't afford that. Let me see what I can do give them to you for $700 and the reason why I'm gonna give it to you for seven dollars because For a whole year if anything breaks on it scratches will fix it for free for a whole year less than six months the glasses broke bitch. Tell him he told me oh yeah you have to pay to get it fixed, but you told me the manager you told me that it was covered yeah I know I said that, but you have to pay is this even legal then he says I'll fix it one time for free then now it's all no void no what happened to my 12 month warranty on top of that let me tell you on top of that he says and you can't even get the frames that you paid for you have to pick out a different set of frames. How is that? I just got to be illegal

    We had a bizarre and extremely unpleasant shopping experience here leading to this very long,…read moredetailed review. The short version is they refused to accept insurance even though they are in-network -- AFTER they confirmed our coverage, AFTER they pulled authorizations, AFTER we shopped, AFTER they rang us up with the insurance deduction. Very rude about it as well. My insurance company tried to intervene without success & Lunette never even responded after I filled out their own online customer service form. I will never return to this shop and I hope that no one else has such an awful experience at this chain. Lunette got me in the door as an in network VSP provider. But, I am not paying cash for something that I know, Lunette knows, and the insurance company knows is covered. If you don't like the contract reimbursement rate, please don't sign on to become an in-network VSP provider. Don't pretend that you can't take my insurance to get cash instead. Shame on Lunette. Full details ... I went in to look for sunglasses for my husband & daughter who do not need prescription glasses. Lunette is in network for VSP insurance & we have coverage which allows us to use our frame allowance for nonprescription blue light glasses or non prescription sunglasses (it's called LightCare and it's part of our regular VSP policy). A woman with glasses and short white blond hair (later found out named Jennifer) took my husband's and daughter's info from me and looked up our VSP insurance coverage on Lunette's computer system. She confirmed each of their benefit for non prescription sunglasses under our plan, as expected. I then called my husband & daughter to come join me from a nearby store to try on some pairs. They both shopped for about 15-20 minutes, picked out their sunglasses and left so I could pay and they could shop elsewhere. Jennifer seemed frosty to us while they shopped -- flat, no smiling -- but I didn't take this personally because anyone can have an off day. After they left, Jennifer once again confirmed that our selections were within our coverage and then she rang me up, deducting our insurance. I went to hand her my card to pay but asked about the balance -- it was slightly higher than expected. My questioning seemed to annoy her as it had to do with the taxes, co-pay, etc but said she needed to call her manager to find out. AND she said ... I don't even think we can take this insurance anyway. What? Yes, please call your manager because I'm certain this is covered and I'll call VSP. Jennifer went in the back, came out shortly and said my manager said we can't take your insurance! No apology. She was just rude, like she did not care at all that she wasted our time and would not take the insurance. In fact, she seemed smugly satisfied. I was in shock. AFTER confirming the coverage? AFTER ringing us up? AFTER pulling authorizations? AFTER actually deducting the insurance? I did not know what to say. They wanted me to pay fully out of pocket for something that was covered by my insurance?! No thank you. I was very confused and upset and just left the store. Meanwhile, I got through on my call to VSP. Heidi F. at VSP confirmed our coverage for these sunglass purchases ($200 allowance + 20% for anything additional) AND could see that Lunette had open authorizations. Heidi at VSP stepped in and called the store directly thinking it was just a simple mistake of not understanding how to complete the transaction. Nope -- not a mistake. She spoke to Jennifer, who did not budge. Heidi's hands were tied and she said we should absolutely shop elsewhere and use the insurance. She closed the Lunette authorizations and opened a VSP grievance. Again, shame on Lunette. So sketchy, dishonest, and under-handed. (Fortunately for us, after the Lunette debacle we ended up at Market Square Optical in Newburyport. It was a breath of fresh air. Adorable shop with a great selection of frames. We purchased the same 2 pairs of sunglasses and they happily accepted our insurance, nicely explaining the small out of pocket balance. They prove that an upscale eyewear boutique can also be friendly and professional, and treat customers with respect and kindness. Thank you Market Square Optical for saving the day, for valuing your customers and providing a lovely shopping experience.)

When I returned just two days later to return one pair, the store manager, Suzanne, flat-out refused. First she said they don't accept returns on "floor samples," then changed her reasoning to "non-prescription glasses." When I asked to see the return policy, she wouldn't show it to me and simply said she was the associate in charge and wouldn't allow it. Even more disturbing, when the associate who sold me the sunglasses (Jameel) appeared confused by her response, she publicly scolded him and accused us of some kind of collusion -- right in front of me. It was awkward, unprofessional, and completely inappropriate. Despite the receipt and ForEyes' website clearly stating a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee and allowing returns within 30 days, Suzanne refused to honor it. I had to make multiple calls to customer service over several weeks before I was finally able to speak with a regional manager, who had to personally step in and get the store to issue my refund -- over a month after the original purchase. I did eventually get my money back, but it should not have taken that level of persistence. This store's manager was dismissive, rude, and out of line. I will not be returning, and I recommend others shop elsewhere or online to avoid similar treatment.

I saw Dr. Ung who, on our second visit, walked in and asked me about how I'm managing my diabetes. I don't have diabetes. She's just like "oh ok". That's a pretty big detail to mess up and not be overly concerned about how it happened. Really made me wonder what else in my chart might be wrong. 2) They're very "that's your problem" about insurance. I have a VERY popular/common plan and they scheduled my routine exams such that the second one didn't get covered because it was too soon. $400. and their response was "well you're responsible for your plan and coverage details blah blah blah". like sure I know I'm LEGALLY responsible, but in REALITY that's negligence on their part. they either don't know the details on one of the most common plans they work with all day everyday, or they just don't care. Either way - not cool. Like my dentist is so careful and deliberate about aligning stuff with my specific insurance plan so I don't have to pay out of pocket.

Figuring she was busy, I started scheduling the first appointment of the day. Nope. She was still at least 30 minutes late. This was to every single appointment in 30 years. Not once on time. And late by at least 30 minutes. But the absolute worst, almost unforgivable was she completely changed my eye prescription. After an exam, she stated and wrote that my left eye somehow went to having no vision problems. I have astigmatism in that eye. There is no way that could happen. I'm 56 years old. They filled my contacts with that prescription and when I put them in, I got really sick due to having basically nothing in my left eye. I still wanted to give dr yoon benefit of the doubt, I mean she is the doctor, so I tried to walk to my car to drive. Well, I was so dizzy I fell down on the cement. At that point, I knew I couldn't drive and I looked at my contact boxes and realized she had made a mistake. I walked to Banville wearing my old glasses, and they argued with me. They told me I was wrong. They literally acted like I was crazy. They finally decided to give me my contacts in my old script and expected me to pay for them. Then I had glasses made, thinking they would use my old prescription. Nope. Again. The left eye was basically just plain glass. I decided to go to another optometrist for a new eye exam. As I suspected, Dr Yoon somehow completely messed up my exam and Banville was pushing a fake, very incorrect eye prescription. I went to get my new glasses fixed from Banville because I figured they should replace the lens for free. They replaced it, but reluctantly. This was the craziest experience I've ever had. After 30 years of waiting for Dr Yoon to show up for every appointment, now I'm literally arguing over an incorrect prescription- not even a slight error- an error that could have killed me or another person if I had driven. They never even apologized. Instead they treated me like I was crazy. One good thing- I found a new optometrist that has brand new, state of the art equipment that actually works and gives customers the correct prescription. And he was on time!!
