They sold me a new pair of glasses that were the exact same prescription as my prior prescription and did not tell me that I did not need a new pair until I paid for them and went in to pick up my new pair. There was a problem with my vision using the new pair until thats when I found out there had been no change I. The prescription. I then shared my displeasure with being sold glasses I didnt need. I was ignored. I was told the problem was the new framed I picked out were too big and I needed to pick out a different size. I continued to instist they needed to refund my money instead of reordering glasses that they had sold me glasses I didnt even need. The manager told then no refund to make me pick out new frames. So I did. I have given them $10 from my debit card to mail the new glasses. 15 days later still waiting for them to arrive. They should have never sold me glasses to begin with by withholding information. Bad business!Business Response

Okay, about 2 or 3 years ago I bought some glasses and got the table. I had my glasses under insurance, which includes no line bifocals, which includes no scratch, the preventative, also includes glare so it doesn't glare my eyes and also includes tent 3 times I take in my glass expected table I. Have paid for them. They come up with some excuse saying oh well, that's not what was paid for this is not what was paid for I've asked them repeatedly to get another copy of of the original receipt to give me the lab's phone number they refused to do so. They refused to give me anybody's phone number. I cannot get anywhere with these people I've been without my glasses now for 6 months. Now I have my glasses.

Im not entirely satisfied with my recent experience with the business. I went in to get two pair of glasses filled because I have an upcoming trip. I wanted some new glasses. Probably a week after, I get a call that they cant be filled which was odd because I had the same pair before(just bought the same frame) in because the old ones broke. I kind of understand the other pair but the pair I had before(filled in 2021) couldnt be filled again? I didnt change the script or ask for extra special lenses. Neither were the glasses made differently, but I could accept that. But the bigger issues are when I picked them up, my glasses were scuffed in places and damaged. I planned on taking them elsewhere to be filled but I dont like the damage. And what really got me was after I talked to someone and the worker said theyll be in touch to try to fill the same glasses, I waited for any kind of answers. Come Thursday it would have been 2 weeks since I heard from them. I called in Monday to check on the status, they made it seem like they were being filled and all was good. Not even 5 minutes later I get a call with the same issue. Turns out, my glasses had just been sitting in the facility. No one bothered to tell me this when I could have just gone somewhere else already. This made me not want to be return to Dr ********************** and its a shame because Ive been going there for years. Not because of my glasses not being filled because thats understandable. But you damaged my item(s), and just left my products there sitting and basically holding onto my money until I had to call in for an update to get them and my money back.Business Response

Our Director of Operations, ***************, spoke with ******************** yesterday and she was happy to accept a $300 frame credit on her account to compensate for the damage to her frame. We have also arranged for her to receive services from a nearby Dr. Tavel, and she is satisfied with this resolution.

My sister recently experienced some unforeseen health problems and shes been back and forth to the hospital and her glasses ended up missing or stolen from the hospital so I called to see if they can be replaced and ***** told me the only way to have this done is to come to the office and fill out paperwork. I did advise them I have POA for my sister and I live in another state so can they email me the form to fill out and was advised they couldnt because its a HIPAA violation.

Eye exam in December, ordered 2 pair of glasses, paid a deposit of over $200.00. I was never contacted the glasses were ready. I called in January, both pairs ready.

I went in with my ** to order glasses. I explain to the girl ******* that I was only needing computer glasses not just readers since I use drug store readers for that reason. She asked the doctor there and said they would tweak the ** to make my glasses. I was told they would be done in 2 weeks it took almost 3. The day I picked them up from the store manager ******** told her they looked ***** and they were not right. She said to take them home and check them if they are not right bring them back and they will redo the lens at no cost. I went back to my doctor to make sure my ** was correct and they looked at the lenses Dr. Tavel put in the frames. They informed me they had only made readers, not computer glasses which my doctor calls an office lens. I took the glasses back and ******* said they would change the lens but it would cost me another $348.00 for that change. I was still within the 30 days to have the correction made. No offer of a refund or adjustment was offered. I took my glasses back to my doctor at ******** Optical and they had to make my office lens which cost me $189.60. I have the lens that Dr. Tavel made incorrectly. I am happy to return the lens and I would like them to refund my $162.00. My husband had glasses made the same day and his are not right either. He is taking his back today.Business Response

Hello, I first purchased my glasses from Dr. Tavel from the ********, ******* location on 1/06/2020 with a what I believe was a 1 year warranty. In between the time Dr. Tavel decided to extend my warranty due to the fact from the original purchase date to 2/10/2022 my mother had passed away. I had noticed the defects in the lenses and the frames before this date but was no where emotionally due to my mothers passing to take care of the issue. After this I was able to take care of my affairs one being the issue with my frames and lenses from Dr. Tavel. These issues: ******* logo was a different color than the other side and the lenses with blue blocking and anti-glare coating was starting to speckle all over both lenses. ******** a manager at the main customer service location working at the corporate office on ****************************************************************, agreed to extend my warranty and replace both my frames and lenses on 2/10/2022. So it comes to present day and over the past year I noticed my new replacement lens's anti-reflective coating start to flake off every-time I wash my lenses. ( I had them just put anti-glare coating on my new lenses.) There was also a crack in my replacement frames on the left temple near the hinge. After speaking to ******* again in late April and early May of 2023, the regional manager for the ********, ******* area and her boss, they all refused to replace my frames or lenses under the pretext that the 2 year warranty on the frames and lenses only would apply to the original defective frames and lenses in 2020 not the new 2022 replacement ones. This makes zero sense to me. They provided me with two defective products and denied to take care of their customer due to manufacture defects. As it turns out I am having ********** currently replacing my frames as they are under their warranty of two years. I would like to have my lenses replaced and placed in my new frames I'm receiving from **********. That only seems fair.Business Response
Date: 05/04/2023
I have spoken with our Operations Director and this is her response.
We have already spoken with this patient and informed him that we will not replace his lenses. His original purchase, as he stated was 1/6/2020. We replaced his complete pair under warranty on 5/10/2021. We replaced the complete pair again on 1/24/2022 as he stated there was a defect with the frame. Now he is attempting to claim another defective product but has been wearing these glasses since 1/24/2022. This is out of warranty at this point, and we have explained to the patient that there is no unlimited warranty on his glasses. We will not be replacing this since it is no longer covered under warranty and because the patient is trying to claim defective product each year on his glasses that were purchase in 2020.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined the response would not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.My glasses and lenses where replaced one time to my recollection. At no time am I trying to get a free product for no reason. The second pair of lenses are defective as where the ones Dr. Tavel replaced the first time. This time the anti-reflective coating on the lenses are flaking and wearing off on the edges instead of having un-washable spots all over the lenses like the first ones with blue blocking and anti-reflective coating. Dr ********************** wants to argue that the warranty is based on the first pair of glasses I received and the replacements have zero warranty. From what I've been told of Dr. Tavel's warranty along with ***** lens's warranty with Dr ********************** is that it is two years. per ***** lens Rep.. This is not about unlimited replacements its about providing a product that does not have defects in it. I would not be writing this complaint if my lenses did not have any defects in them, as seen in the files attached. At this point I would take a new pair of lenses, as I am awaiting disability, am disabled and do not have the funds to purchase new lenses, as Dr ********************** says is the only solution. If I did that I would spend over $200 with a warranty the defects would happen again, then would be replaced with those replacements having no warranty on them. This makes zero sense. If I purchase a product and it is defective the manufacture replaces that product. If the defects keep happening the manufacture takes a look at their product and why it is failing and not blame the customer as they are trying to get a free product. I'm sure I'm not the only customer to have this problem with ********************** otherwise they would not offer a warranty for $40. If what I was told was true Dr.********************** buys the coating from ***** and applies them to their own lenses.

This is from our Director of Store Operations:
When I spoke with **********************, I did let him know that we have a complete pair offer for $39.98 that he can purchase. Due to his product no longer being under warranty, we will not be able to replace the lenses in his current pair. We have spoken with our ***** lens rep and were informed that their warranty is valid for 2 years from the original date of purchase, and it has been more than 3 years since the original date of purchase. We did replace his lenses and frame under warranty in 2021 and 2022. At this point, the only option that we have for ********************** is to purchase new lenses for his frame, or he can take advantage of our $39.98 complete pair offer which includes a frame from our Vision Values collection, and single-vision plastic uncoated lenses. We will not be replacing the lenses under warranty again, as it is now 2 years outside of our in office warranty, and 1 year outside of any manufacturer warranty since the original purchase was made on 1/6/2020.

Hello,At no point do I remember having my frames and lenses being replaced two times before this current set of defective lenses.The only thing I remember was a defect in the frame when I came for a first fitting to my recollection. I purchased the first glasses with a warranty on 1/06/2020. The glasses were then replaced due to defects on 2/10/2023 to a brown color, not red, because they did not have them in stock. The lenses where also downgraded to just anti-reflective coating and not with blue blocking. ***** told me the warranty was two years for their lenses. ***** said that was their policy, but they where going to side with their "customer" Dr ********************** about my lenses on going back to the first pair of lenses for a warranty. I find it very unfair and uncaring that I have been given defective lenses for a second time around and apparently they have no warranty just because. It is not my fault the anti-reflective coating is in such poor condition that it flakes off every time they are washed. ***** also told me the lenses I have are not ***** branded lenses and that Dr ********************** must being using ***** anti reflective products to make lenses. There is obviously something wrong in the manufacturing process with the way Dr. Tavel lenses and produced. Like I said before I am disabled and awaiting my disability hearing. Also, per my most recent eye exam at Dr ********************** in July of 2022, I have a major issue with glare. If my current lenses where replaced and I was told there is no warranty after the replacement pair the issue would be over.

I understand that ********************** does not agree with this resolution, however; as stated in prior responses, at this time ********************** will have to make a new purchase as we will not continue to extend the warranty. At this point, there is nothing more that we can offer other than the discounted rate of $39.98 for a complete pair of glasses which would include a frame from our Vision Values collection with single vision plastic uncoated lenses that was suggested to ********************** over the phone and was mentioned in the previous response. There is nothing more that we can do for ********************* if he is not willing to purchase a new pair of glasses, as we have already allowed him to extend the warranty beyond our 1-year warranty on two different occasions. We will not continue to go back and forth with ********************* on this, as we have made it clear to him that we have already gone above and beyond to replace his glasses two separate times outside of the 1-year warranty that he purchased from **, which was done as a courtesy. The manufacturer warranty is good for 2 years from the date of the original purchase, and the manufacturer has also stated that this is out of the warranty period as well with the original purchase taking place in January of 2020. ********************** is welcome to pick up a copy of his prescription or we can provide him access to it via our patient portal if he is interested in purchasing his eyewear elsewhere. This is the final resolution that we can provide on this matter.

Better Business Bureau:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined the response would not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.Hello,
Your warranty replacement glasses should be guaranteed to be without any manufacturing defects for several important reasons:
1. ****************** A guarantee of no manufacturing defects ensures that the replacement glasses meet the required quality standards. It demonstrates that the manufacturer has implemented rigorous quality control measures to prevent any flaws or issues during the manufacturing process. This assurance of quality gives you confidence that the replacement glasses will perform as intended and last for a reasonable period. Mine did not.
2. Customer Satisfaction: Warranty replacements are meant to rectify any problems or defects encountered with the original glasses. By guaranteeing no manufacturing defects in the replacements, manufacturers prioritize satisfaction and strive to provide a product that functions flawlessly. This commitment to customer satisfaction enhances overall experience and reinforces trust in the manufacturer's brand. Yours did not.
3. Long-Term Reliability: Warranty replacement glasses should be free from manufacturing defects to ensure their long-term reliability. Defects can compromise the structural integrity and performance of the glasses, leading to premature wear, breakage, or malfunction. By guaranteeing defect-free replacements, manufacturers assure that the glasses have undergone thorough inspection and are built to withstand regular use over an extended period. Yours did not.
By offering a guarantee of no manufacturing defects in warranty replacement glasses, manufacturers emphasize their commitment to quality, customer satisfaction, and long-term reliability. This provides peace of mind that the replacements will be free from any issues arising from the manufacturing process. My replacement was not free from issues at any time.
Regards,

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.
