crack on edge of lens

Here's the summary if you don't want read the long version. I've had it with Visionworks. I've now had three sets of lenses crack due to their cheap, low-quality materials and incompetent lab work. Every single time, they've tried to blame anything but their own shoddy craftsmanship. The lenses were consistently fitted improperly, causing stress fractures where they met the frames -- a basic issue any decent optical lab should catch and correct. But it gets worse: they refused to stand behind their product. No apology, no accountability, no real help. Just a frustrating cycle of excuses and the same poor-quality replacements destined to fail again. And don't get me started on their customer service -- rude, dismissive, and utterly useless. You'd get more empathy and problem-solving from a vending machine. I spent good money expecting basic quality and service, and instead got a masterclass in how not to treat your customers. Avoid Visionworks like the plague. Visionworks' motto: "If you were hoping for glasses that help you see, you're in the wrong hell. Our frames are crooked, our lenses are cursed, and our customer service is powered by apathy and spite. At Visionworks, we don't just disappoint--you'll leave questioning the point of sight itself. That's our promise. That's our punishment." Long version of complaint I had one of the absolute worst experiences ever with both the quality of the eyewear and customer service. I purchased frames and lenses on 4/16/24. 4 months later, I noticed that the edge of the lenses looked like there were small white dots that within days grew into bigger cracks along the edge. After the manager at Visionworks examined the lenses, she said it was not my fault and they would send them back to the lab to have the lenses replaced. The manager mentioned that the lab messed up and something was done incorrectly when they cut and shaped the lenses. The lenses were OK for another 4 months until they started cracking again on the edges. Visionworks replaced them a 2nd time at the end of August. On 4/18/2025, almost a year after I received the glasses, the cracking started again in the corner of the left lens as shown in the picture below. Clearly, Visionworks has issues with either the quality or extremely poor technicians who keep repeating the same mistakes. When I went into this Visionworks location, the "optician" looked at the lenses and said he had no idea why they keep doing this. It could be alcohol or what was used to clean the lenses. I stated that this has happened 3 times with these lenses and frames and I have never had any problems with any other glasses doing this in 40+ years since I have been wearing glasses. I have been cleaning the lenses with the cleaning products I purchased at Visionworks. The more I talked to this joke of an optician, the more I realized how useless he really was. They should not let him even speak to customers. He quickly escalated the situation by looking up my information, then saying he could not do anything since I purchased the glasses a year ago. I asked him why he would not do anything if the glasses/frames are clearly defective or something has been repeatedly been done incorrectly in the lab. He had no answer and just smugly smirked, saying "sorry." I will never go back to Visionworks after this experience. If they cared about their customers at all, they would take corrective action with their labs and poor staff. The time and stress dealing with this horrible place is enough for me to tell everyone I know how bad they are. Just look at the other negative reviews regarding their lack of customer service. 04-21-2025 Response from customer service: We are truly sorry to hear about your recent experience with our Phoenix location. Our goal is to provide exceptional customer service and we are sorry this was not the experience we'd hope to provide. Unfortunately, Visionworks does not offer a warranty after one year from the date of purchase. Your feedback is important to us, We will be escalating your concerns and feedback to our leadership team to address this internally. Visionworks has once again failed tremendously at their goal, but they sure as hell succeeded in making me and other former customers hate this company even more.

So disappointed in Eyeglass World. After years of awesome service, I had trouble with my most…read morerecent glasses/prescription, making me nauseous. I was never called (SanTan Location) to let me know my glasses were in. 2 weeks later, when I called I was told "they're behind schedule" So, I decided to switch back to the Tempe (Priest/Elliott) store where we had gone in the past when I had trouble with the glasses. So, I went in last week to have them check my glasses -- they never took them from me and referred to my doctor. (Kyle) I went to MY Dr, who slightly altered the prescription and I went back to the Tempe store. (Both The Dr and another employee confirmed the prism was incorrect causing my problems) Kyle is who I saw again today. He blamed the doctor and me for the wrong prism and tried to intimidate me. Didn't work. I got a new pair of glasses replaced with new frames but I will no longer give Eyeglass Workd my business after this. Kyle had the gall to ask if I went to to a licensed optician and then told me all of his qualifications (why does this matter?).. He said if this doesnt work we are out of options and Eyeglass World would no longer be able to assist me, My Dr would need to change the rx (I trust what my Dr says more..) I told him he was at risk of losing my business next year but he was unapologetic so by the time we had walked out of the door, we both decided our eyeglasses wont come from here anymore. We will go elsewhere after how we were treated. Shame on you, Kyle and Eyeglass World.

They do not measure your face nor the glasses to see if they are the right fit. Was told ready in one week, then told 2 weeks. No call, no text. I called and they had been ready 72 hours after ordering them. Went Xmas Eve for pickup and they were closed. No phone message when I called, no notice on the door and nothing in the internet. An hour and a half drive for nothing. Now, another drive and wondering if they're open. We'll see how my frames are, tech talked me into something I never wanted. Let's see

I saw the mixed reviews but I didn't see any by elite reviewers, so I gave Phoenix Eye Care Center…read moreof Ahwatukee a chance. Check in was easy, taking only 5-6 mins. The lobby was pleasant, if a bit small, with cold water bottles available. The pre-check (glaucoma, eye shape, etc.) was done efficiently and the tech was very friendly. I was taken back, right on time, for a quick vision exam, and then waited about 10 mins for Dr. Jenna Rubeis to drop in. She was very professional and she explained everything she was doing while checking my eyes thoroughly. I needed glasses, so a different tech walked me through various options of frames, features etc. I ended up paying $667 for the whole enchilada, which I thought was about right. I think you'd be smart to check them out. Most of the negative reviews were written in anger and frustration, probably due to those patients' negative outlook.

I had a very disappointing experience here and would strongly caution others…read more When I ordered my glasses, I was asked whether I wanted progressive lenses or standard lined bifocals. I clearly chose progressive lenses. I was also asked if I wanted transition lenses and was quoted pricing both with and without them. After insurance, I was told transitions would cost about $100 more, and I agreed. The associate then helped me choose frames and even marked the lenses where the progressive portion would begin -- which reinforced that I was ordering progressive lenses. However, when I received my glasses, they were neither progressive nor transition lenses. When I called to address the issue, I was told that I had ordered lined bifocals without transitions. That is absolutely not what I selected. Later, the explanation changed to "most insurance companies don't cover progressives," which does not change the fact that I was told I was purchasing progressive transition lenses. To make matters worse, their computer system was down the day I placed my order, and I was not given a receipt. When I asked why I paid for transitions but didn't receive them, I was told I could "add that for less money than progressives" -- even though I had already agreed to and believed I paid for transitions. The only solution offered was to replace the lenses with what I originally selected -- but only if I paid over $400 more. That is unacceptable. You cannot quote someone a price for specific lenses, deliver something different, and then demand hundreds more to fix it. They also refused to accept a return. I am now out $400 for glasses that are not what I ordered. Due to this experience, I have filed complaints with the Better Business Bureau, the Arizona Attorney General's Office, and the Federal Trade Commission. I would strongly recommend finding another eye care provider.
