Well, if you care about getting the correct prescription for your eyes... then don't go this place. I will list a few facts here. I welcome whoever is monitor this business on social media to contact me since I am shocked at the mistakes this business has made to both of my daughter's prescriptions which could potentially hurt their eyes..
1. Pull the wrong prescription from the system to get my daughter a wrong pair of glasses. In 2020, we had the eye exam and prescription. However, when we got the glasses, my daughter said she feel very dizzy. After almost 20 days of adjusting she still refuses to wear the new glasses, I took her back. The manager didn't even wait for us to finish, she cut me off and said "well, it take a few months to get used to new glasses". But my daughter is 13 years old so she know how she feels. But the manager still refused to do anything. I then demanded that they double check the prescription. Well, guess what they found out... They used the wrong prescription in the system. They used the prescription for my daughter in 2019!! When on the same day in 2020, when we purchased the eye glasses, we did the eye exam. Their staff somehow messed up and pulled the wrong prescription. What if I didn't insisted? what if I believed this manager? Well, everyone make mistakes.. the problem with the manager is that she refused to believe the customer might report a problem that need address. She refused to at least try to help the customer figure out why. She never apologized about this error and as a long time customer of LensCrafters (20+ years), I decided to let it go.. But it happened again in 2021. Here is what happened...
In 2021, my younger daughter went there. During the exam, the doctor said everything is the same as your current glasses so no prescription changes. Well, because I have protection plan so I told the manager that I would like to use the protection plan to get a new glasses (I purchased the protection plan last year). But the manager said, no your prescription changed substantially so we can't use the protection plan. you need to pay full price. I don't mind paying full price but the doctor did tell me that the prescription stayed the same. So I kept telling her the doctor said it is the same, multiple times. But rather than trying to see what is going on, she asked me to go to the front of the screen, saying.. let me show you.. the prescription changed a lot. I don't know what happened. Then my older daughter step in to confirm that the doctor did say the prescription did stay the same. Somehow, my daughter made the difference. The manager decided to have her assistant to go ask the doctor ( I am not sure why she won't listen to me.. I am not a native speaker but my daughter is..?). Then when the doctor came back, we know the truth... The doctor was NOT looking at the correct prescription. She was looking at the 2019 prescription when my daughter is wearing glasses from 2020 prescription. Note, we have all of our glasses in this same place for the past three years. So how this could happen? how the doctor would look at 2019 instead of 2020 one? Because they input my daughter's name wrong last year!! I actually noticed it last year in 2020 and asked them to correct but they didn't. So as a result, the doctor was not able to pull the correct information. Well, again, everyone make mistakes.. but what happened after shocked me again. The manager insisted that everything is fine. even though the doctor was using the wrong/old information to compare, we should just go ahead to use the prescription. Well, as someone who wear glasses for the past 40 years, I know eye prescription is not rocket science. it is sometimes even subjective. The doctor will use the machine reading, compare with their information of the current prescription, then decide on the new prescription. How I know for sure that the doctor's prescription is still accurate when I know she was using the wrong information to compare with? Then I asked to have the doctor to double check. the manager becomes very impatient. But after I insisted, she went back and talked to the doctor. As a result, the doctor, when comparing against my daughter's correct prescription had to made big adjustment to her new prescription (from like 150 to 100, etc). Imagine if I followed her advise and didn't have the doctor check and just go with the first prescription? I would have damaged my daugther's eyes.
well, like I said everyone makes mistakes but how to deal with the mistake? This business is under a very bad management in the following ways: 1, messy system that can't even get the repeating customer name correct 2. didn't correct mistake after customer pointed out so doctor can't pull correct info. 3. the manager is rude and arrogant, not willing to listen to customer. She seems always thinks she is right and customer is wrong. So be careful. again, everything listed here are facts. from a longtime customer... read more
