9/25/21 $653.90 Eye doctor at Americas Best issued prescription for each eye to the wrong eye. They flipped it. I struggled with my glasses for a year. I did go back after I got them and they said it was correct. I bought 2 and used up my benefits so I could not go to another dr. I ended up wearing one pair as I didnt have a choice. I trusted them. When I got a new job with a new plan in May 2023 the eye doctor noticed after looking at my glasses that the script was exactly opposite for each eye. They made an error. I was appalled and could not believe it. I struggled for over a year. This is a blatant error and I demanded a refund. I have not heard back from them as of yet.Business Response

Dear *******************,
*************** to the BBB Consumer Complaint #********, filed by **********************We certainly apologize for the issues ************ is having with her glasses from our **********, ** location.
I have looked into Ms. ***** purchase from 9/25/2021, and addressed her concerns with one of the managers at the store, Joy. She looked in the customers chart,and we have no documentation of ************ contacting the store, our corporate office, or coming back into the store at any time letting us know she was having any issues with her glasses. *** also compared the prescription the doctor wrote to what was entered into the system for the eyeglass order, and those matched as well. In order to correct any issues that *** occur, we do need the customer to let us know as soon as possible so we can get them corrected in a timely manner.
We have a 30 day policy for any type of remake, refund or prescription change. Unfortunately at this time, over a year and a half later, we are unable to refund ************ for her 9/25/2021 purchase.
Ms.***** complaint has been received and documented at our corporate office where it will be kept on file. Once again I do apologize to ************. If I can be of further assistance, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
*******

I am rejecting this response because:I was told to come in to the store and I did very shortly after picking up my glasses. The gentleman/ manager stated the prescription was correct and also tried to adjust them for me.
I am not returning to Americas Best. *** had to pay another doctor. The prescription is incorrect due to either a data entry error or Dr ****** I want a full refund.

On April 12th I received an eye exam and ordered contacts. The company had no issue taking a payment from me for ****** and advised my contacts would arrive in 3 to 5 days. I later received an email advising the order is delayed. Here it is May 3rd and I still do not have the contacts. When calling Americas Best no one can tell me when the order will be ready.

Dear Customer Relations Representative:
In response to the Better Business Bureau complaint filed by *******************; complaint ID #********. We do regret any product delays ************** is encountering with her latest contact lens order.
Currently the contacts lenses are on a manufacturers back order and they can take up to 80 days to arrive. The manager on duty has contacted ************** and offered to either refund her or reorder her contacts in another brand. ************** said that she would like another brand contacts and we have ordered her the Clarity 1 Day Torics 90 packs (3 packs for each eye) to replace the delayed order. We have also waived the delivery charge fee as a courtesy to **************. The contact lenses will be shipped to her mailing address.
Once again, we do apologize for this manufacturers back order delay and we thank ************** for contacting **, so that we may assist her with this matter. If ************** has any further questions, she may contact ************* at: **************.

My original appointment was February 20, 2023. I had my eyes examined and was informed I cataracts, was issued a referral for evaluation/ consultation and was given a list of eye doctors. I was not informed that my prescription would change after cataract surgery. I picked out my frames, paid my bill in full using a discount card which came to $355.67 with discount. It is important to note that this was not insurance coverage but rather a discount card. I was informed that my glasses would be ready in about 5 days. Having not heard from the store I waited about 10 days before I called to check on delivery and was told my glasses had arrived. I was fitted for my frames and left the store, I did not even get out of the parking lot when i noticed that my vision from my new glasses was worse than my old glasses. I returned to the store and told them the prescription was wrong and that my vision was worse. They gave me an appointment for almost a month later on March 18 for a re-examination although they informed me that my vision would probably be blurry anyway because of the cataracts. I left my new glasses at the store and waited for the next appointment. March 18 arrives, and I find out that indeed the prescription was wrong and new lenses would be ordered. Again, I was not informed that my prescription would change after cataract surgery. The earliest I could get a cataract exam appointment was May 1. After the exam the doctor informed me that my prescription would change, and she did not understand why Americas Best would sell me eyeglasses knowing I had cataracts for which they gave me a referral. I call America's ********************* line and was informed that they could not replaces the lenses for no charge. I offered to meet them halfway on the cost and they said no. I asked to speak with a supervisor and was sent to someone's voice mail. I waited all day for a return call and ..... nothing. And so here we are.Business Response

Dear Customer Relations Representative,
This letter is response to this BBB with the complaint #********. I do apologize for the negative experience this customer has had at ******************** Best. In regard to the glasses, the prescription and the tint being incorrect. Upon your request for a full refund of $247.95 customer was reimbursed back $168.95 for both pair of glasses. The remaining $79 is for the eye examination and retinal imaging exam that are both non-refundable because they are a service fee for the doctor. I do apologize for the inconvenience.
I have spoken with the General Manager ******* from ************, **. Unfortunately, we are unable to refund for the examination fees, but we are willing to give the customer the mirror coating upgrade with no charge. The manager said he will reach out to the patient *********************** to discuss this matter.

3/27/23 I went in with new prescription for glasses, picked out a pair, and paid. Got call they came in around a week later. Put them on there and couldnt see out of right eye. They did a comparison with my old glasses and there was no prescription in right eye with new. She never caught the fact that one of her employees didnt put my new prescription in to balance the right eye. I had my new prescription paper with me at the time and assistant manager told me to go back to eye dr for a redo exam which I did. We back to AmBest with new prescription. And as the different lady was putting in new prescription she noticed that the original person didnt put in a balance out prescription for my right eye she put in no prescription but was supposed to balance it with left eye, thats why I couldnt see out of my right eye. So she said since it was a redo they would put a rush on it. I of course left new glasses with her to send out. 2 weeks later today , my husband went to pick them up after a phone call and he said they told him they needed my glasses to swap out the lenses. He called me at home and I told him they sent the glasses out to redo. So I either want a refund or my new glasses ASAP. This is so ridiculous, all this trouble Ive had to go thru from incompetency from assistant manager, employees thru lens people losing my new glasses.Business Response

I purchased a pair of *************************************** frames and lenses through my insurance around April of 2022. ** December 2022 the side piece fell off making the eyeglasses unwearable. I did have the warranty on the frames and brought them in to be sent out for a new frame which I received in January. On 4/27/2023 the side piece of the frame fell off again, in the same place. I couldn't believe that this had happened again, the same exact issue that caused me to have them repaired less than six months ago. I called the location to see what they could do, as these frames are obviously of poor quality and the issue needs to be addressed. I was told that they won't do anything for me (the customer of the inferior frames that THEY sold and are continuing to sell) other than offer me a 20% discount on another ********************************* Gemma ****** I inquired as to why they would think that I would want to ever purchase this brand or frame again, as I have had two broken glasses in less than a year. The store manager provided me with the number to the corporate **************** line. I spoke to a woman who told me again, that I would have to buy a new frame and that "there is nothing we can do". She offered me a 30% discount on an out-of-pocket purchase. There is a product that you are selling that is not lasting a customer more than a few months of limited wear before breaking twice in the same spot and it seems like this is a way to sell cheap quality frames, bill the insurance at the highest cost they can get away with, and then leave the customer with a product that they cannot use. Then the only solution that you offer is buying a new frame out of your own pocket. Corporate greed at its finest. America's Best own website blog states in the article "How to Build an Eyeglasses Wardrobe on a Budget"- Good-quality ophthalmic eyewear doesnt have to be expensive, says *****. "But it does have to fit properly, be comfortable to wear, and hold up to everyday use."Business Response

Dear Customer Relations Representative:
In response to the Better Business Bureau complaint filed by *******************- on behalf of ***********************, complaint # ********. We do regret any misunderstandings the customer has incurred with the finalization of her sons contact lens prescription.
*************** brought in her son, ******, to our ******, ** vision center on August 1,2022 for a contact lens exam and his contact lens have been ready since mid Sept. so that he may return for his insert & removal contact lens class- in order to finalize his prescription. The customers mom said that she was not able to bring him into the vision center due to his schedule.
Our records also indicate that the customer has not returned for his class during this time, so that the doctor *** finalize his prescription. The doctor is unable to finalize the customers prescription/contact lens fitting if the customer does not attend his contact lens follow-up class appts. Our records also indicate that the vision center manager has even forwarded the contact lens trials to another vision in the ********, ** area, in order to better accommodate the customers with our follow-up protocol however, ****** has not returned for his insert and removal class/follow-up at that location.
Since it has been 8 months since his exam date, the doctor is unable to approve that we order Javion any more contact lens trials/diagnostic lenses, unless the customer returns for a new contact lens exam appt and pays for a new contact lens exam fee (which is now a $99 fee). **************** was presented with this option and she indicated this is not something she wants agrees with.
In order to provide **************** with a satisfactory resolution, and closure to this matter, we have processed a refund request for the contact lens exam fee. The customers $89.00 contact lens exam fee will be refunded and they will be receiving a corporate check refund in the mail, in the next ***** business days.
We thank **************** for her time and for the opportunity to service her sons eyewear needs.

In response to the rejected Better Business Bureau complaint filed by *************************; complaint # ********. Unfortunately, we do not refund for services rendered by our doctor and the 10% discount is what has been offered as a customer courtesy. I have also spoken with the assistant manager, *******, and she has agreed to order 1 additional pair of trial contact lenses once the contact lens prescription has been finalized with a brand that is comfortable for **************** as an additional courtesy. Our records show that **************** didn't purchase any glasses from our vision center, so if he did, he should bring them in for testing to verify they were made to the eyeglass prescription written by our doctor. ******* will be contacting **************** to schedule a follow-up exam, as *** is not in the office.

BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.
When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.
BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.
As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
