If I could give them no stars I would.
I went to get a prescription for contacts last May (prescription is only valid for 1 year which I found out today). I don't use Contacts on a day-to-day basis and I told them when I went that I was only going to use Contacts for special occasions. I went in and I didn't even see a physical doctor. I ended up talking to a doctor on a screen which normally wouldn't make me feel uneasy but in this case I ended up regretting it. By the end of the week they gave me a weeks worth of contacts with my new prescription. I was excited and (at the time) grateful for a weeks worth when other places normally give out
Like a days worth. Fast forward to about a month ago, I finally tried on my contacts....I couldn't see! It's so blurry I couldn't even keep them in for more than 2 mns as my eyes started to get irritated, watery and ache from my eyes trying to "correct" themselves. End result: I couldn't wear them, they're still in my cupboard. I decided to call when I had the chance to see if by any miracle they could change my prescription knowing that it had been a while since I had last seen them or better yet just go to a different dr with my prescription in hand.
Fast forward to today. I called and I spoke to a lady (I forgot her name) who started off nice but ended up being petty and rude. I started off by asking her if I could get an email copy of my prescription because what she didn't know was that I was going to go to another office and show them my prescription so that they could see what prescription they gave me and see if they could correct it. She plainly told me she could not send it through email. She stated the only viable option was for me to pick up a physical copy, which I did not want to do. She couldn't even find me in the system. I was kind of thrown off, because why couldn't you send it through email? I just didn't understand as to what the big deal was but coming from a medical background Maybe there was some legal reason so I didn't push it. After asking some questions about my prescription she told me it was best to see the dr. I didn't even see a physical optometrist last time I was there why would I go back? To get another incorrect prescription? She laughed and asked why I needed my prescription then and I told her that I wanted a copy to show a real optometrist so they can see what you guys did wrong! Long story short she ended up calling me back and told me my prescription was void and that I couldn't get any sort of copy, so I just hung up. They won't even send it to another Dr because it's void. Legal matters aside, they should always send my previous information to a new dr whether they like it or not.
Here's the thing, I understand that prescriptions are only valid 1 year and I myself understand that there are things u can't and can do but the conversation would've gone better without attitude from miss Visionworks cuz I can dish it right back. read more
