      I went in for an eye exam and ordered contacts on 1/13/2024. I paid $264.26 for a 6 month supply of contacts and never received them. I went in to inquire after a month, 3 months, and 6 months and each time they informed me the contacts were on back order and they would contact me when my order was in. I attempted to go back again in December to find out the business has permanently closed, but after some research the company stated they would still provide the goods that had already been ordered and had a phone number to call. The phone number does not work and I have not been able to reach anyone since.

      I ordered contacts from Standard Optical in February 2024 at the Lehi location valuing $221. They told me they were back ordered but they would let me know when the contacts arrived. I had to go into the store every month or so because they would never contact me with updates. Each time they told me my order should be arriving within a few weeks. In August 2024, still without my order that had been paid for, I shared frustration and interest in a refund. The employees assured me that my order would be arriving within a few weeks and to wait instead of getting a refund. The next time I went in to the store there was a notice on the door that they had gone out of business. No one contacted me about my order. No one let me know anything about the situation. No one will answer any attempts to contact them as their phone lines are all disconnected. I am now out $221 plus more as I had to pay for an additional eye exam to get access to a prescription since standard optical gave me no record of my prescription obtained through them. I also had to spend more money on contacts from another supplier. I am beyond frustrated and just want my money back for the contacts I never received.

      I ordered 6 months on contacts from Standard Optical. They told me repeatedly that they had ordered them and gave be excuses about "delays" or the orders would be filled after a "new company took over". I called repeatedly and stopped into the office. I never received my contacts or a refund for them and now all of their phone numbers including the corporate one say mailbox is full"
