      I had to have a replacement lens, because I had cataract surgery. I went where I got my original glasses at "Americas Best" in ************, ****. After about 6 months the coating started coming off. It was clearly a manufacturer defect. I have tried to deal with the store and the manager seems to be off every day of the week. I have never been able to speak with him. They offered me half price off, but I am living on a fixed income and can't afford it. I called the corporate office and was told they had to speak to the store manager. They promised to call back the next day. It's been over a week and I have not heard anything. It seems they just want me to go away. I feel they should replace it for free. They say I had to purchase a warranty to get it replaced. I have worn glasses my whole life and never had any problems. This business is very bad and unprofessional.

      Dear Customer Relations Representative, 

      In response to the complaint, regarding the patient, ***************************, we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Unfortunately at this time, we are unable to offer a free replacement due to the time frame that has passed since the initial purchase made on May 10, 2022, and no warranty was purchased at the time. We will obey the policy that we have in place and for the inconvenience offer the patient with 50% discount on a new replacement. Our policy states that you have 30 days from the date of purchase to return any item for any reason. It also includes an exchange. The patient refused the 50% discount offer and therefore did not get a replacement pair of glasses.

      Sincerely, 

      Usha,

      The wrong amount of refund was given and the refund should be $80 not $20. I returned the glasses and this is unacceptable. I called the corporate and they repeated the same broken jargon. I need this immediately refunded to me and they were doing things wrong and they don't believe me they claim they need a doctor's note to give me the money back this is unacceptable never seen something so unprofessional in my life.

      To whom it may concern,

      The customer was given a refund for the glasses but not the exam. I advised that he did receive services rendered by our doctor and that is the reason he was not refunded. I then asked him to provide a copy of a new prescription showing that ours is incorrect and we will gladly refund. He asked if he was speaking with the corporate office to which I advised yes and that our policy states that we can not refund doctor services without proving it is incorrect. The customer then disconnected the call before I could continue.

      The customer was advised that if would like a refund for the exam he would need to send in a new prescription from another doctor showing that our prescription was incorrect. I advised the he did receive services rendered by our doctor and that is the reason he was not refunded. I then asked him to provide a copy of a prescription showing that ours is incorrect and we will gladly refund he asked if he was speaking with the corporate office, I advised yes and that this is a policy that we can not refund doctor services without proving it is incorrect. He then disconnected the call. The customer was given the option and he disconnected the call when asked to provide new prescription. This is the only option to receive a refund based on our policy.

      The frame also does not fit like the display model and no matter what they did to adjust it, it always sat on my face sideways, besides slanting my vision towards the bottom, which even the associate in person agreed. I am rejecting it because of all these issues.

      Date: 02/08/2023

      To whom it may concern,
      I do apologize for the poor customer service that you have received. We do value you as a customer and you deserve the best service that we have to offer. The unprofessional manner of our employees will not be tolerated, and a full investigation will be conducted. The appropriate disciplinary action will be taken. I would like to thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.Your complaint has been documented. Once again, please accept my apology for your experience. The 2 for $79.95 offer is our starting price and includes Single Vision basic plastic lenses, full-rimmed frames from our $69.95 price selection, and a free eyeglass exam only with the 2 pairs of eyeglasses, the prescription is included with the offer. We do understand that your glasses order had not worked for you which we sincerely apologize for this why we refunded the eyeglasses at $20.95. Due to the fact that the glasses have been refunded,the exam is no longer free as it is not included in a promotion at this time.The eyeglasses exam is $59.00 and is a regular service fee for the doctor.
      If it turns out that the prescription itself is wrong, we can schedule you to see our doctor for a retest, or if you were to bring in the new prescription from the ophthalmologist to the store location and allow the store manager to compare the prescriptions, if they determine the prescription, we provided is different from the new one, then we can provide a refund. I appreciate you taking the time to inform me of your experience. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.

      To whom it may concern,

      As the patient has already received a refund for the product. The $59.00 is the exam free that is paid to the doctor. We do not refund for services rendered by our doctors. If it turns out that the prescription itself is wrong, we can schedule you to see our doctor for a retest, or if you were to bring in the new prescription from the ophthalmologist to the store location and allow the store manager to compare the prescriptions, if they determine the prescription, we provided is different from the new one, then we can provide a refund. Please be reminded that the prescription would need to be presented within 45 days of the original exam date. I appreciate you taking the time to inform me of your experience. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.

      January 24, 2023 My wife made an appointment with Americas Best Store #****, store in ******************************************. The appointment went well and she ordered glasses and was happy with the results. In October of 2022 my wife had an operation to reconstruct her eye tear ducts and for more than a month she was unable to wear contacts. The surgery went well and she was able to order contacts again after a period of convalescing. We spend the winter in ******* and decided to make an appointment with Americas best in ************ **. After arriving at the store we were told the appointment was canceled because the doctor was unavailable. It was unprofessional that they did not contact us to tell us the appointment was cancelled but we live in a new world like that. We made another appointment for December 18th 2022. We attended the appointment and the exam was performed. However, my wife was told that they did not have a trial pair of contacts in stock and they would order them. The trial pair contacts took several weeks to arrive. When the contacts arrived they were the wrong strength. Why they were wrong we and they have no idea. We had to schedule another appointment with the doctor in ************ to resolve the issue. The appointment was set for January 24th 2023. When we arrived at the Americas Best store #**** the doctor was not there again and we were told that we would have to make another appointment. Naturally we were upset; but again there was nothing we could do. We decided to call another Americas Best Store #**** in *********** ******* and were told that they had an appointment open in March 2023. We explained the situation and were told that there was nothing they could do. We were also told by *****, who claimed to be the manager that we would have to pay for a second eye exam if we made an appointment with them even though we paid Americas Best to become a so called club members and were entitled to free eye exams. Now after two and half months my wife does not have the ability to drive because of Americas Best people not providing the service we paid for. *****, the so called manager of the store in Orange ** was rude and displayed very poor management skills. It would be very hard for us not to tell anyone about this incident. We are aware we will not be able to gain anything by filing a complaint with the corporate office, but we hope we can help others to avoid this company called Americas best. We have placed a call to the corporate care center of Americas best and are hopeful that the issue will be handled. We realize it is hard to keep help so we understand that companies are scrapping the bottom to hire managers and supervisors as well as day to day workers. Please avoid this Americas ************* If they are the best we are in serious ************************************

      On or around 11/4/2022, I made an appointment for glasses, I picked them up around 11/15/2022, and they weren't correct. They were sent out for repair. 12/8/2022, I was told that they were lost and it'll be another 6 weeks. 1/5/2023, I went to get them and they were the same, and the ear handles broke. They were ABRASIVE and extremely RUDE. I would like a refund, and a monetary compensation for emotional distress.

      We have apologized for the product delay, and we have offered to re-exam.  In addition, we provided the patient with a complete pair of complimentary glasses as the original lost shipment caused the extreme delay.   If the patient is not pleased she may elect to return all products and we will immediately alert the patient's insurance provider that the product has been returned.  Our records show no out-of-pocket expense was paid by the patient as a result no direct refund to the patient would be due should the patient elect to return the products.

      I went to Americas best for new glasses.I ordered two pairs , one for distance and sun glasses. About 4 months after I picked them up the arm on the distance glasses broke off. I went back to have them fixed. He told me there was no warranty so I would have to buy a brand new pair. He took my old frames from me went over to the display , found my frames. Mind you thats disgusting because those are the ones everybody tries on. He takes the lens out of my old frames and installs them in the display frame. Tells me I owed $197! I paid it because I needed my glasses. I call ray ban and the tell me all there frames are guaranteed for two years! They said just return the frames and lenses back to them to repair. My problem is Americas best took my old frames from me. Americas best told me they would only reimburse me the $197 if I returned the frames which leaves me at square one with no glasses that I need to see. Being they did not tell me *** ban will fix them I want to keep the glasses and have them reimburse me the $197, Thank you, *************************

      I was advised that my new prescription would not require a high index lens. When my glasses (2) were received the lenses were unacceptably thick. One pair was sent back and had the lenses adjusted to high index with the other features I paid for. I was told that when they came in I could leave the other pair to be adjusted as well. I just received the first adjusted pair and am now being told the other pair will NOT be adjusted. This is unacceptable since the error was theirs, advising me to go with an inappropriate lens configuration. Now I have a pair of glasses I paid for that I cannot wear because the weight of the lens causes headaches, ear pain and extreme discomfort to my nose. Satisfaction is definitely NOT guaranteed!

      Please explain to me how one location will take kids but my kids were denied at another location? When I called I was referred to a different location that accepts my sons insurance but that location said they don't take 5 and 7 year olds. After asking to speak I was told "they definitely could probably take the 7 year old but definitely not the 5 year old." Why did you originally deny both children then? Even the receptionist had no idea of this age restriction, she scheduled me and sent me appointment reminder text messages. So what is accurate, do you see children? Why isn't it consistent with all locations? I feel like children just aren't wanted at Abington, discrimination!!!

      Dear Customer Relations Representative:


      In response to the Better Business Bureau complaint filed by ***********************;complaint # ********, we regret any lack of information the customer has encountered when she scheduled her childrens appointments with the Abington, ** store. While as a company we do offer eye exams to children, it is at the doctor's discretion what the minimum age is. In general for our *** the minimum age for a child to be examined is 6-7 years old. The doctor/s at our Abington, ** vision center see children 7 years old and up only. We apologize for any inconvenience caused to the customer and will resolve any oversights.


      We do value ******************** business and feedback. If ****************** has any further questions she is welcome to contact our ************************ at: **************.

      Thank you for your time and mediation.

      They don't know how to fix my eyes right. They keep giving me the wrong ones. They haven't given me my contacts. I'm blind.
