    On November 30th, I received an email about an issue with the prescription I uploaded. It said my glasses order indicates that I want a single-vision lens; however, the prescription was received for a Bifocal lens. I am not an ophthalmologist, and I didn't know my prescription was for a Bifocal lens, as I've worn readers for the past several years. So, when I emailed my response back for single vision only, I thought they were referring to readers. The email didn't make reference until the very last sentence. I didn't see that sentence until I called and talked with a representative and supervisor who brought it to my attention. The supervisiors also said I confirmed I wanted Distance when I called.

Your glasses order indicates that you want a single vision lens, however the prescription received for a Bifocal lens. We offer No Line Bifocal Lenses for an additional cost, please note the Blue light blocking addition is not currently offered on a progressive lenses, so this option will be removed if you decide to change to a progressive lens to match your prescription. To change the order to a progressive lenses, removing the Blue Light Blocking addition will cost a total of $40.50 more than already paid as the $25.00 cost would roll into the needed price for the *********** lens If you wish to upgrade. We can keep the Blue Light Blocking option on here if you confirm you want distance only.My response back:Hello. I only want the single vision lens option and not the bifocal lens.
