I chose Pearle Vision in Fairlawn because their website stated that this location offered Ray-Ban Meta glasses and could put prescription lenses into Ray-Ban Meta frames that customers already owned. I also spoke with the person on the phone the day that I made the appointment and he verified all of my requirements of what I was looking for. I drove 70 miles based on that information.
The doctor was excellent--thorough, informative, and very kind. Ms Carol was also incredibly sweet and professional. She truly did her best to help, and I appreciated her kindness throughout the appointment.
Unfortunately, everything after my exam was frustrating. I received conflicting information about almost everything. I was told they could put prescription lenses in my Meta glasses, then they couldn't. They couldn't tint the lenses, then they could--but not with a gradient tint. Ms Carol even was nice enough to call LensCrafters at the mall to give me options ELSEWHERE.
I also asked if my contact lenses could simply be mailed to me since I had driven such a long distance, but that became another issue with additional charges. In the end, I left with no glasses, no contacts, and an insurance benefit used on an appointment that didn't accomplish what I came for.
My biggest disappointment is that the website did not accurately reflect what this location could actually provide. I spent time researching before choosing this office, only to make a long drive for services they ultimately couldn't deliver.
The one star is because the Dr was nice & Ms Carol but the inaccurate website information, lack of product knowledge, and inconsistent answers made this a very disappointing experience. I would recommend this location only if you need a basic eye exam. If you're looking for specialty eyewear like Ray-Ban Meta glasses or more customized lens options, I would NOT recommend this location. They ruined my whole day.
