Dear Sir or Madam,
I hereby wish to formally express my serious dissatisfaction with the services I received at the LensCrafters branch located in Greenville, South Carolina.
I visited the doctor at this LensCrafters location for an eye examination and to purchase a new pair of glasses. After the examination, my prescription was submitted and processed online, and after some time I received my glasses. Unfortunately, the glasses were not delivered in acceptable condition and were clearly crooked and misaligned from the very beginning.
After making several in-person visits to the same location in order to resolve this issue, I encountered additional and even more concerning problems. First and foremost, the level of expertise, skill, and professionalism of the staff at this branch appears to be extremely low and unacceptable.
In one instance, my wife had purchased a pair of glasses online and was dissatisfied with the frame and only intended to exchange the glasses. However, without asking her or obtaining her confirmation, the LensCrafters staff irresponsibly processed a return instead of an exchange, despite the fact that my wife had clearly intended to replace the glasses, not return them. Since the glasses had been purchased using her insurance benefits from the previous year, this incorrect action resulted in the complete loss of her insurance coverage, and this financial loss was directly caused by the poor decision made by the staff at this location.
Regarding my own glasses, in addition to being delivered in poor condition, during a visit for adjustment it was stated that due to physical pressure applied during the adjustment process, one of the temples of the glasses may have become damaged. More importantly, I was never comfortable wearing these glasses. During a subsequent visit and after a re-examination of my eyes, the staff, in an unprofessional manner and accompanied by laughter, stated that the prescribed strength of my glasses was stronger than my actual vision required, and that the lenses installed did not even match the prescription previously issued by the LensCrafters doctor.
Furthermore, the LensCrafters doctor stated that from the beginning I should have been prescribed single-vision lenses instead of progressive lenses. It is obvious that such an important matter should have been communicated before placing the order, not after several weeks of wasted time, repeated visits, and dissatisfaction.
Finally, I was informed that because my glasses had been purchased online, I must submit the request for correction or resolution of the issues online as well. This is despite the fact that I had visited the same branch multiple times in person and that all of these problems were the result of incorrect diagnosis, improper manufacturing, and poor service provided by that very location. After several weeks of follow-up, this process is truly strange, laughable, and completely unacceptable.
This LensCrafters branch has without a doubt been one of my worst service experiences. I expect that if any management or responsible authority exists, they will seriously address these shortcomings, negligence, and professional errors, and provide a clear response and appropriate resolution to this matter.
Sincerely,
Mahdi Chalani
