      Ive had an awful experience at thia office twice. The first time, they mixed my insurance up with another patient, and my entire appointment was not covered under my insurance because of their mistake with the insurance mixup. Not only was it not covered, they tried to charge me for the services, even though it was their fault for mixing everything up. The second time I went was for a contacts appointment. Everything went well, Im aware my insurance at the time did not cover contacts so I paid out of pocket for around 6 months worth of contacts. I was told theyd be sent to my address, but I never received them! Over $300 worth of contacts! I have called and been told someone will reach out to me regarding this, but nobody has followed up. I still have no contacts, and its been months without a resolution.

      I booked an appointment with my eye doctor. There appointments were booked out and I had to wait...The day before my appointment I received a phone call. The woman asked if I was aware the appointments were only by video appointment. I told her that was absurd for an eye appointment considering you have different computer screens....sit different distances from the computer....etc. and that that wasn't what I booked for. And why didn't it state that when I booked the appointment....why wait so long to tell me because I would have booked elsewhere. They wasted my time and because I need the glasses before I have surgery I had to pay extra to have them rushed. This is their fault. They need to be aware that NOWHERE on their website, advertising, or where you book the appointments does it state all appointments are video. It is false advertising and is fraud.

      Thank you for taking the time to speak with our Patient Experience Team. We sincerely apologize that your experience did not meet your expectations regarding your eye exam. While our online scheduling system outlines the type of appointment being selected, we understand the importance of ensuring this information is communicated clearly for all scheduling methods, including phone and in-person bookings.
      After reviewing your appointment details, we see that it was scheduled online, where our website provides prompts to indicate the type of visit selected and any associated costs. However, we want to ensure that all patients have access to exams performed by an in-house doctor if that is their preference. We have shared your feedback with the appropriate leadership for internal review. Kind regards, Patient Relations.

       Complaint: 22920506

      I am rejecting this response because:  What you told me was that the actual doctor would be virtual and an assistant would be in the room with me.  1.  That is NOT what I was told.  I was told the entire eye appointment was virtual (which still is NOT what I am paying for...I am paying for an eye exam by an eye doctor.)  2.  You told me that it is outlined on the website when you make the appointment.  It is not.  I went back and did a second one to verify and there is nowhere that points that out.

      I do not like being lied to the first time.  Let alone multiple times along the way.  I had to not only pay more out of pocket to get my eyeglasses but had to travel further because of this nightmare.


      Regards,

      ****** ****

      I has an eye exam at My Eye Doctor on 01/21/2-25. I did provide my insurance information with *****. I do not remember the exact wording, but, I was told my insurance would not cover the cost of the glasses. The total amount I paid was approx. ****** I was told the cost of my eye exam was *****. It was expensive but I paid as my insurance did not cover any the cost of the exam and glasses. I then checked with my insurer and My Eyedoctor charged my insurance carrier ******* and my portion was ******. I was shocked, how could one pair of eyeglass cost $*******! I was led to belive that I paid so much for the glasses as my insurance did not cover the exam or the glasses. As my insurance was used my copay for the exam should have been zero. I would like to know why ONE pair of glasses cost ******* when I was told the price I paid did not involve any insurance. I want the amount that was charged to my insurance company to be adjusted. I want an itemized listing showing why one pair of eyeglasses cost $******* between what I and my insurance company paid. Why was I charged so much when my insurance was used.

      I was seen on 2/18/2025 for an eye exam. I was told it would cost $50 co-pay and $39 for a special vision test, but when the exam was finished, I was confronted with a bill for $167.56, because the office manager and billing clerk upgraded my eye exam to a medical procedure, which, even if that had been the case, because I had already met my deductible, my Plan G supplement would pay 100% of the bill and I would have no co-pay; however, I have tried on several occasions to get this reconciled, but the staff at MyEyeDr refuses to work with me at all, not returning my calls or calling me back.

      I ordered glasses with them 5/30/2024 and was told they applied antifog coating to my lenses order. Ive been having constant fogging of my lenses since Ive had them and told them to send me specifications of what my lenses included. On the invoice, they sent me no mention of antifog coating was listed despite them saying it was included both before I ordered and more recently when I spoke to them on the phone. I want a full refund of my order because I have been lied to. THEY DID NOT PUT THE CRIZAL ANTIFOG COATING WE DISCUSSED ABOUT BEFORE MY ORDER WAS PLACED AND ARE STILL LYING AND CLAIMING THEY DID WHEN I SPOKE WITH THEM AGAIN RECENTLY

      The company I work for has a contract with Myeyedr. for prescription safety glasses. I went in between October-November. I picked out a pair of safety glasses and they told me they were backordered and it would take an additional four to six weeks. I said that was fine. In the first week of January I called about my prescription and was told by the person that answered "I don't know how to access your prescription because I'm new, but I will take down your number and have someone get back to you". This happened three different times in two weeks. I contacted the business headquarters to see if they could tell me anything. Nobody got back to me. I tried the local store again. This time they got into my account and told me that the glasses were being made as of 12/16/24 (This is the first week of January I am calling). It is now February and I have called three times. Nobody answers and nobody gets back to me. In my mind this company obviously doesn't care about their customers

      Dear Better Business Bureau Team,I hope youre doing well. I am reaching out to formally file a complaint regarding a billing discrepancy with MyEyeDr.On October 30, 2024, I purchased a pair of lenses from MyEyeDr and repeatedly asked their staff to confirm whether my insurance would fully cover the cost. I was explicitly assured that as long as I only purchased lenses without a new frame, the total cost would remain within my insurance coverage. Based on this information, I adjusted my purchasechoosing to buy only lenses and using my own frame to ensure the cost stayed within my coverage ******** the time of purchase, I left the store with a zero balance, under the impression that my insurance had fully covered the transaction. However, despite following the staffs guidance, I later received a bill stating that my insurance only covered $150, leaving me responsible for an additional $99. Had I been given accurate information at the time of purchase, I would have made a different decision to avoid unexpected out-of-pocket expenses.I attempted to resolve this issue directly with the store manager, but was informed that there was nothing they could do and that I was fully responsible for the outstanding balance. Given that this charge resulted from misrepresentation on the part of MyEyeDrs staff, I believe it is unfair for me to bear the financial burden of this error.I respectfully request that this charge be waived or that an alternative resolution be offered, such as adjusting the billing amount to align with the original assurance.Patient Name: ******* **** Account Number: ************* I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to your ************* regards,******* ****
