There is a substantial discrepancy in the size of the lenses, with the right lens considerably larger than the left.

The physical imbalance is concerning, and I am worried about potential long-term consequences from wearing these ********** rectify this situation, I request either a replacement pair of glasses crafted to the correct specifications or a full refund. I can be reached at *********** to discuss the next steps to resolve this matter promptly.Sincerely,Raleighn ********Business Response

Hello,
This issue has been resolved with the customer by email communication. As stated in our return policy, lenses are custom made to the specific prescription written by a patient's eye care professional. Our return policy states the glasses can be returned for a 100% refund on the cost of the frames and a 50% refund on the cost of the lenses. This is standard operating procedure for all online eyewear companies. We are making a one time exception for this order and giving the customer a full refund once the glasses are returned. A pre-paid label was provided to the customer to return the glasses. We look forward to getting this resolved as quickly as possible.

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. I told her I never did, as I do not use glasses for distance, so I would never confirm. What I confirmed was for single vision, which I thought we were talking about the same thing - readers I responded and called the same day. I affirmed in the email and called that I only wanted the single-vision lens. In my mind, the single-vision lens is for readers. I didn't see the ******* (FSAstore Optical)Nov 30, 2022, 10:04 EST Hello *********, Thank you for contacting FSA Store Optical. 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.Business Response
