I had no issues with my examination by the doctor at the East Washington Street store in Indianapolis, IN, and I had picked out 2 inexpensive frames for my new prescriptions (1 pair of bifocals, 1 pair of glasses for just computer use). I sat down with Carol, who was very nice and did a lot of fidgeting with the computer to get my new prescriptions in and look up what my insurance pays for. She told me that they cover a lot, so we talked through everything that I wanted/could get (progressive bifocals, transitions sunglasses, no glare coating, upgraded frames and lenses). I paid for my order and was told it could take a week but they are usually faster than that.
On the 7th day, I called and was told that 1 pair was in, but the other would be in the next day and they'd call me. 2 days passed, so I called again. I spoke to their new employee, who said they were both in, and that she must've accidentally skipped my call on the list. So I went in that day to pick them up... NEITHER PAIR WAS MADE CORRECTLY. She said she'd let them know to re-order them, after we discusses the problem for several minutes.
A couple of days later, I got a call from a different person who said that literally the only notes on the re-order request was "they're blurry". SERIOUSLY. Apparently the one pair were not even rung up or ordered as bifocals, so I'd have to pay more when they are done.
I wait a week... got the call that the new glasses were ready. I went there that afternoon, tried the bifocals on and they were fine. THE SECOND PAIR WAS NOT REMADE, THEY STILL ONLY HAD THE FIRST ATTEMPT. I was going to pay for the fixed pair, and while waiting for her to talk briefly with the next customer, I went to clean the new glasses... and noticed a deep scratch about 1/4" long in the top corner! In case it was actually a smudge or a hair, I cleaned it well. Nope, it was a scratch. She obviously had seen it but didn't say anything, because when I said "These have a big scratch on them", she didn't look surprised or hold them up to look for the scratch at all... she just said "Send them back again, then?" I said yes, and she just took them back and said they'd call me when the new ones are done. RIDICULOUS!
So the experienced staff can't order glasses right, and the new girl on staff doesn't know how to communicate problems to her coworkers or customers. So we are now going into 3 weeks to get my glasses, and honestly i am NOT confident that they will be right this time. If they are not ready by the end of the week AND correctly made AND not scratched, I expect a full refund! Even if they are remade correctly, a partial refund is in order as this has all been a great inconvenience! read more
