I Optique - This is the used gen 2 meta wayfarer glasses the owner lied to me and told me they are new. Photos from the glasses, downloaded to my phone

I Optique

I went to I Optique in early December to purchase brand new Ray-Ban Wayfarer Meta Gen 2 glasses. I…read morewaited until January 5 under the assumption that they were ordering me a new pair of glasses and prescription lenses as we discussed. When I arrived, Ben handed me a boxed pair and told me to pull the tab on the box to open it "like they're brand new." The moment I looked at them, I noticed multiple scuffs, marks on the inside, and dirt on the glasses. I repeatedly asked if they were new and whether they had been used. Every single time, I was assure face to face--that they were brand new. Ben even tried to justify the damage by claiming that the shiny black version "comes scratched" and that only the matte version doesn't. Despite my concerns, I was reassured again that these were new glasses and that this had supposedly been discussed with me on the phone (it wasn't, they only spoke to me on the phone when they were ready for pick up). I took them home and began setting them up through the Meta Wayfarer app. During setup, the glasses downloaded photos and videos of random people inside the store trying them on. That immediately proved what I suspected: these were used display glasses, not new. I called the store right away and went back--again--where I showed them undeniable proof that these glasses were the in-store display model. Only then did Ben change his story and say there was "miscommunication" and that the pair I bought was the display pair all along. This was not a miscommunication, this was dishonesty. So let's be clear: I paid over $700 for glasses I was repeatedly told were brand new, when in reality they were used, tried on by customers, and sold to me anyway. I had to figure this out myself. They apologized, but clearly did not care about wasting my time, making me drive back and forth, or lying outright. I requested a refund because I do not tolerate being deceived after asking direct questions and being given false answers. If you're considering buying glasses from I Optique, be aware: you may be sold a used display pair while being told--straight to your face--that they are brand new. The only reason I caught this is because Meta Wayfarer glasses store photos and videos on the device. Otherwise, this store would have gotten away with it. Absolutely unacceptable. 2026-01-06 at 12:41am Response to Owner: The Meta 2 glasses do not need to be connected to the meta AI app. All the photos and video that your customers made while trying on the glasses were stored on the glasses and now on my phone since I linked it to the meta ai app. I specifically asked you was this a used pair since there was scratches and marks on it. You told me it's new and this is how it comes from Rayban and that you are a dealer. This is very poor customer service as we discussed that I was getting a new pair I think by default any person expects to get a new pair of glasses and not expect to be given a floor model un-expectedly. And again I was re- assured several times they are new and it was not disclosed once they are the floor display model. I think anyone would expect that if they are being sold a floor display model, that is made clear to them beforehand; had I known this, I would have not purchased the glasses. I did not want glasses that multiple people wore to test and also they were not very clean and came with scratches. I did tell you and you just told me this is how they come.

this is the 2nd pair of glasses I have purchased from this store and they both got scratched very…read moreeasily. They are made of inferior material & quality. The staff tried to tell me it is because I'm using the wrong type of material to clean the lens. I have been wearing glasses for almost 40 years and have NEVER had glasses that scratch this easily. Both had to be changed because it became very annoying to see with all the scratches. Remember....they're cheaper than everyone else in the area and you get what you pay for!!

This is the BEST place in Durham region that provides comforting and compassionate eye care. I've…read moremet Dr. Fan in the past and Dr. Lin recently. They're both beyond AMAZING especially with little kids. Alex who does the pre-screening is also super amazing especially with little kids. Sarah and others at the reception ensure that you're well prepared for the appointment and they provide clear instructions and reminders. They answer any questions either by phone or text messages right away. No need to wait for hours for anything. This place's infrastructure provides a calm vibe. Everything is super clean, there is not a trace of dust even in their chairs, computer keyboards which is very unlikely in any clinic. The eye exam was very thorough and detail oriented ensuring that nothing was missed. The Doctor explained in detail regarding all the test results, showed us the chart and images taken from the eyes to provide explanation of what it means. Then suggested what the next course of action should be, provided recommendations and answered several of my questions in detail even if my questions may have been silly. 5 STARS always!!

My recent visit to Ajax eye care was very good. From the reception to the testing was…read moreprofessionally handled. My questions and concerns were addressed and explained very well. I am always concerned about my vision and the professionals at this office helps to take away the stress and concern with their knowledge and recommendations.

Bought glasses and sunglasses for the entire family multiple times and always find them very helpful and patient with us. Returned recently to have a couple screws on my glasses tightened and they did it immediately without even asking if I had purchased my glasses there! We will continue to return again and again!

Went to look at the glasses and the store was really busy. An associate named Lori introduced herself and said she would help me as soon as possible. Once she was done the store had almost no customers left in it. I asked her if she could measure my PD and she dismissed and told me to get it done wherever I was buying my glasses and then turned away from me. Little did she know that I wanted to ask her about contacts and was considering buying a pair of glasses that I thought were really cute. Wanted the PD to buy a cheap pair of backups online and it's not a long process to complete. She could have been helpful but instead she chose to lie and say she couldn't do it. Been going there for years and got my first pair there. Although they always break, I was more or less satisfied. I won't be buying glasses from there anymore and I'm not even sure I'll go there to update my prescription. Beyond money hungry Lori, the receptionist isn't exactly friendly (I'd been ignoring her behaviour for years up until now, doesn't offend me when people working in customer service don't make the effort to play nice. Just go somewhere else, it's nice to pretend that the staff actually cares and you won't find that here.
