    We have ordered glasses from sterling vision in ************* ****** for my wife. It has now been 3 months and they keep giving my wife the run around on where her glasses are. They hang up on her, transfer her and no response. Have talked to other community members and they are having the same problem. I believe they are billing the insurance and collecting money and never ordering the glasses.

    Business Response

    Date: 09/21/2024

    May 16, 2024, Patient/Client arrived for exam and ordered eyeglasses/lenses. Patient wanted a new frame matching the one she had previously (now a special order).  Email sent by Sterling Vison Staff on May 16, 2024, to verify with frame Manufacturer the availability of the product.
    May 17, 2024, Manufacturer emailed back stating the frame, although orderable was out of stock and would respond back in the event they could locate one.
    GAP Time lost
    July 15, 2024, another optician noticed the order and after review, reached out to the Manufacturer to inquire of the frame status.
    July 15, 2024, Manufacturer responded with news they located three of the frames and shipped one on the same day.  Provided order tracking information.
    GAP Time lost
    August 14, 2024, ***** had not arrived from Manufacture. Reviewed tracking to find out the Frame was damaged in shipping per the shipping company.  The Optician spoke via phone and text with the Manufacturer.
    August 14, 2024, Manufacturer had one left of the discontinued Frames and shipped overnight.  Tracking obtained.
    August 16, 2024, Frame arrives at Sterling Vision
    August 19, 2024, Frame sent to lab for lenses
    August 26, 2024, Frame with Lenses arrived at Sterling Vision
    August 27, 2024, Patient/Client notified glasses were ready for pick up
    September 4, 2024, Patient/Client received their glasses.


    Take aways:
    The claim, I believe they are billing the insurance and collecting money and never ordering the glasses, is false and damaging. There will always be dropped calls in business, this is true.  We remain unaware of any intentional dropped calls.  We prefer concerns of this magnitude to be brought to managements attention.
    The patient requested a special-order frame that was discovered to be discontinued.  Attempting to secure the remaining frame proved successful yet time consuming for three reasons.  1. The level of coordination to fulfill the request just takes time and people.  2. Per the shipping vendor, the initial package was damaged destroying the frame.  After the frames destruction, it was amazing we could even get the last frame the manufacturer had at this point.  3. Two gaps in communication that we and the manufacturer will need to own and improve.


    In closing, it becomes clear this was not a profitable sell for us.  Moreover, the outcome of this process, even when removing the time lost attempting to satisfy the Patients/Client's unique choice of frame, has not been beneficial to either party.  We will revisit how we do business going forward.

Its seems like they also get made when I stop by to get a eta on what is going on. I need a refund to my self and my insurance as well as my brand name frame and case. I have made several attempts to have them fix the error I dont care for their service any longer and would like a full refund for my glasses I have never pick up this started in May and its now September and I havent reive any glasses that have been fit for my eyes from Sterling vision. Im struggling with my Vision everyday due to their incompetence and latch of effort to make thing work for me. I need my refund to take my business elsewhere.
