I am extremely disappointed with my experience at this Pearle Vision location, especially because the service before the sale was very different from what I experienced afterward.
I placed my order on September 11. Before paying, I specifically told the staff that I urgently needed my prescription glasses and asked for the fastest possible turnaround. I was NOT told that insurance would delay the order or that I should expect a minimum 7–10 day wait. I was told they would do their best to have them ready as quickly as possible.
I was also extremely clear about the lenses. I showed the staff a PHOTO of the amber/yellow lenses I wanted and this exact written request:
“I want a VERY LIGHT amber/yellow tint — not dark yellow. It should be suitable for night driving, with a premium anti-reflective / anti-glare coating. Progressive lenses. Please keep the tint very light.”
They agreed.
The total retail price of my order was $1,156.61. When I questioned the high price, I specifically asked whether the yellow tint was part of the reason. I was told YES. My VSP benefits covered a substantial portion, and I paid an additional $280.60 out of pocket.
After the sale, however, the experience changed.
Despite knowing that I urgently needed the glasses, I waited until September 24. I was finally called around 5:05–5:07 PM and told they were ready — only about 25 minutes before the store closed at 5:30. I asked, “What time do you guys close?” After being told 5:30, I responded, “Then you call me now?” I was told they had just received the glasses.
When I picked them up, I calmly expressed my dissatisfaction. Only then was I told they “had to wait for my insurance.” I did not want to argue. I said I needed to wear the glasses before I could determine whether everything was correct, took them, and left.
I then took the glasses to my eye doctor and explained exactly what I had ordered. After examining them, she told me she did NOT see the yellow tint I had specifically requested and that, since I clearly requested it and the store agreed to provide it, I had a legitimate reason to complain.
The amber/yellow tint for night driving was NOT a minor detail. It was one of the MAIN reasons I ordered these lenses. I showed them exactly what I wanted in a photo, gave them the requirement in writing, they agreed to it, and they even confirmed the yellow tint when I questioned the high price.
I am attaching a comparison image showing what I requested versus what I actually received.
I urgently need prescription glasses, so returning these and going without glasses for another week or two while they remake them puts me in a very difficult position.
After waiting nearly two weeks for a $1,156.61 retail order, using my VSP benefits and paying an additional $280.60 out of pocket, I expected to receive what I specifically requested and was told I was purchasing.
Unfortunately, that is not what I received.
