I was at a Lenscrafters yesterday. The optometrist that did the eye exam told me I would have trouble reading and seeing up close in 2 years, due to my age and offered me bifocals. How he can predict what my eyes will do in 2 years seemed unlikely to me. And if it will be 2 years why do I need bifocals now?<br /> When I went to pick out frames I was basically pointed in that direction and left alone. The first time in my life this had happened. Also the salesman told me my prescription wasn't too bad, which I found weird since I have pretty bad eyesight. <br /> When I did finally ask for assistance the employee on her cell phone couldn't be bothered and called over 2 others who were sitting around talking. <br /> One of the two repeatedly pointed out frames that were exactly what I said i Didn't want. The other offered a few suggestions and disappeared without a word. Never saw her again. <br /> I eventually picked frames, being disabled I was wearing out and just wanted to be done. <br /> When I picked them up and tried them on they immediately felt wrong to my vision. I couldn't say exactly why, but I could feel it. Even hours later wearing them things still felt off. <br /> Looking closer at the frames and I realized there were still shavings from where the lenses had been cut, hanging off the lens, near my eyes. Also I noticed the lenses were not cut to fit the frame fully and there were gaps between the lens and frame in some places. The arms had extenders and one of them would move and extended just from trying to adjust the glasses on my face, while the other was so tight it would barely move. <br /> The last straw is the affect on my up close vision. My previous and very old lenses would allow me to see things up close without any effect on my vision (I have trouble seeing distances). So I was able to use my cell phone with my glasses on, at least for a short time. With my new lenses it actually makes using my phone blurry at the exact same distance my old frames had no affect. It's worse than having no glasses on at all even. <br /> I've always used lenscrafters but between reading these comments and the shady practices and unfriendly service I've just received I see no reason to go back. And I will be fighting for my refund.
