LensCrafters Reviews

Arrogant and Rude
I would simply like to address the odd behavior and downright rotten attitude of the person who assisted me.
I came in to the store with a simple eyeglasses repair.
This guy with an earring in each ear approached me within less than a foot from my face.
He was inpatient and stared at me without blinking.

I shrugged it off because I didn't really want to make a scene in a Lenscrafters.

This guy was a real piece of work though. He deserved to be slapped.

Anyway I have had it with these people, it's not the first time I encountered a weirdo working at that store in Melbourne Florida.

Awful company
I have beeen buying my glasses and contacts at lenscrafters for 3 or 4 years now . They have great new fashions in modern looking glasses and I always get alot of positive comments on how thay look.But the plastic that they use in their lenses is worthless . Last year after the lenses were ground you could see cracks all around the top edge of both lenses . I don't know if when they are ground that they get too hot or what . But they were ok for about a year when one of the cracks split vertically across the face of it.I went back to the store and complained and they replaced both lenses . Now a year later the same lense split again in the same place and it is supposed to be my tough luck. the insurance will only pay a small portion and they want me to eat a 300 bill. When you complain to the people at lensecrafters they are silent and just look away. I'm sure this happens quite alot but they talk to me like it's my fault like I dropped them or beat them up somehow which is not the case. I'm sure the workers are told to behave like this and the consumers must foot the bill. thanks alot. Chris Horwarth 908 west marion st . mishawaka in 46545.

tint peeling/distorted
Purchased my daughters frames/lenses as we have always done with lenscrafters since she began wearing glasses at 5 yrs old. Now she is 13. Anyway, she needs the react/transitional lenses for her sensitive eyes to sunlight. They started to become distorted and lenscrafters did good first time, said there was a defect in the lenses, replaced the lenses. Now again, it is happening. They tell me the tint is peeling away, and nothing can be done. They want me to pay for a whole new exam, and lenses. No way! I have discussed this with our local optomitrist and they say this is very rare, and cannot figure out why it is happening at all, let alone twice. From now on, we will be going through the lab from our optomitrist, as lens crafters lab/people are not doing something right. Guess the 10 day wait now will be worth it, as lenscrafters wont work with people, and become totally rude when you try to bring something to their attention!!

Customer Service
I placed my order for new glasses on a Friday evening. The young lady was very pleasant, but obviously new to the job, and another coworker corrected the prescription data, which resulted in a lower cost. When I picked up my glasses the next day, I couldn't see very well. The glasses are for computer use and the saleswoman told me to try them for a few days. Once I got home, I realized that when I covered my right eye, I couldn't see out of the left lenses at all! I had to return to my dr's office who verified that the prescription was wrong. I returned to LensCrafters with my dr's note that the left lens wasn't ground correctly. The salesman said, "oh well, mistakes happen, they'll be ready tomorrow morning." I returned - for the fourth time - at 1:20 in the afternoon the next day to find that the glasses were not ready for pick up. When I explained that I was back for the fourth time, the saleswoman looked at her watch and made a face. After waiting about 10 minutes, I finally left with glasses I could use. I will not use this store again and I will tell my family and friends about my experience.

poor service
I bought a pair of glasses that came with magnetic sunglasses. The day after I received them, the lens fell out. I brought them back to have them fixed. They did a temporary fix and had to order me a new pair. I was told it would take at least two weeks express. Well, after about 31/2 weeks, I called. I was told that they still had not received my replacement pair. The following day, LensCrafters left me a message stating that they no longer carried the frames and that I could come in and pick out a new frame. I went into the store and was told that I could get new frames, but not with magnetic sunglasses. I informed the staff person that the reason I pick these particular glasses, was because of the sunglasses. I need them for work. They told me that I could not get them with sunglasses and there was nothing they could do to rectify the situation other than give me a new pair without sunglasses. They tried to give me a cheap clip on sunglasses at no cost to me. I informed them that was not satisfactory to me, that I wanted the magnetic sunglasses. As it stands, I am still wearing the broken glasses with the magnetic sunglasses. I did inform them that if I had a problem with them, that I will be back.

lens pricing - Transitions
Called around for pricing for my 9 year old's glasses. One place that took my insurance was Lenscrafters, where we already were customers for contacts. They quoted about $150 on a phone call and I was specific about what I wanted: 1.75 lenses with anti reflective, UV and Transitions. When I went in I was told that the quote was an error. Was I sure what I was quoted? I had my notes. They had a sale: buy frames, get lenses free. Of course, the lenses that were free didn't have anti-glare/anti reflective, and that would be an extra $45. We ran through both scenarios: using insurance (EyeMed) or using the special. All was pretty much OK, if a little high, until we got to the transitions option. These guys wanted $345 for Transitions!!! That is absolutely ridiculous. I had gotten my son a pair of glasses 2 years ago and I paid an $86 upcharge for Transitions. Bottom line was I'd have to pay $290 after the "special", which wasn't, and $256 with insurance. I then ran across a special in fine print where it stated they offer 50% off a total eyeglass package for kids glasses every day. I asked about it, she calculated it and said it would make it $274. The real price without discounts/specials or insurance would have been $522 according to them. Now, I have very, very bad eyesight, about 10.5 - 12.5 depending on how bright the optometrist is. Mine are very expensive, but never quite that high. I just wanted basic glasses w/Transitions. $345 for Transitions.

I looked around and found an article saying that Walmart's upcharge for Transitions is around $65, which makes more sense.

Bait and switch
After having a bad experience at Eyemasters in the same mall your store is in, I went to Lenscrafters to find new glasses. The person that helped me that day was Peggy. She seemed very knowlegeable and friendly and willing to help me. I told her what I was looking for, the price I had paid without my insurance at Eyemasters ($279.99) for designer Armani frames and Essilor lens with progressives and transitions, uv, scratch resistance-everything! I have Eyemed insurance. She called your lab to see if you have the verilux physio 360 lens and she said that they did. She put it my insurance info in the computer, she put in a generic frame with a cost of $200.00 and supposidly everything I wanted including scotchguard. She gave me a total of $277.00 for everything. She even showed that to me on the computer. I advised her that I had to get my refund back from Eyemasters (since they did not line up the bi-focal properly the glasses were a mess). I kept in touch with her over the next few days to let her know how that process was going. When I got my refund back, I called her and advised that I would like to come in and pick out a frame and purchase the glasses. I double checked again to make sure the price was as quoted as I had done every time I spoke with her. She stated each time that it was. I told her I could come in on Friday (July 10) She stated that she was off that day and that I could speak with her co-worker Sandy that day. My sister and I went up there Friday and I chose a pair of frames that were $220.00 D & G dd5028 in bronze. I wasn't sure about the color on the temples so I was advised to drive to the Cedar Hill store or the Southlake store to view them in another color or see other frames available. I then drove all the way to Cedar Hill. I live in Mansfield, so this was not close to my home. I arrived at the Cedar Hill location and they were very busy so I had to wait quite a while. They were out of that frame and had ordered a pair in black for another person but it was already sealed and ready to be shipped to another customer. I then left, but was advised that I could go to the North Park Mall location in Dallas to see them and other glasses. That was much, much farther to drive and I didn't go. I went back to the Parks Mall location in Arlington on Monday. Sandy was there since Peggy was off work that day too. I decided I would go ahead and get the bronze ones. She looked in the computer for my information, typed in my RX and proceeded to fill my order, did measurements, etc. When she was done, the price was almost $500! I didn't understand why. I explained that this was not what was quoted to me. She had the manager Charles to look at the order and he advised that I wait until Peggy comes back to work on Tuesday and let her do the order since she would know what she had done. I waited to receive a call on Tuesday, but instead I had to call her. They were busy in the store she stated, and she would call me back in about 30 minutes. 2.5 hours later, she called me. She stated she was still working on it and would call me back. She did call me back and said she realized that she had forgotten to add something to the order and that's why there is a big difference int he price. So, I have wasted almost a week with this! I've wasted time and money driving here and there for her to have misquoted me on the price! Shouldn't the price be honored since your employee quoted it to me directly and showed that price on your computers!!! I was assured when I spoke with your employees that you were much better than Eyemasters and that you stand behind your products and customer service is your main objective. I'm not seeing it. Sounds too much like a bait and switch to me. I will be posting this letter and my experience with your company around the internet.
