      I visited my eye lab January 3, 2023 and had an exam for contacts after the Assistant Manager would not replace a simple frame that had broken. He claimed I would have to pay at least half of cost of frames. He was not helpful, was rude and would not budge to help, he only made situation difficult. I paid for a contact lens exam and contacts that day and was told I would be given a sample pair and my others would arrive in couple days. My sample was not in stock, so I was told they would come with the regular contacts. My contacts arrived in 2 days and was given a text. I drove 45 min to location and when I arrived I was told the sample was on backorder, but here were my lenses only if I opened them I couldn't return them if they were wrong, I would have to wait for sample and it would be a few more days. We are now February 9 and my samples have STILL NOT ARRIVED and so a prescription of lenses sat here without my use because of back order issues. I was given a different sample, but told they were not my prescription but if they worked I could use my regular lenses. Well I have used them and they are ok but not perfect, so since the assistant manager told me if the sample worked I could use my regular ones, I opened them. My prescription sample has yet to arrive and the regular lenses do NOT work and I am told they will not take them back, will NOT refund me and will NOT refer me to upper management. I will call corporate, however, this is the reason I WILL NEVER USE THEM AGAIN and suggest to EVERYONE to stay away from them. I WANT A FULL REFUND of the ******

      I bought two pairs of glasses late September 2022. One pair is fine, but the second pair is not. The frame broke and the ** coating is bubbling up, affecting my line of vision. Although I had purchased additional insurance, it did not cover the cost of replacing the glasses. I was offered the store's sample frame for a small price, but nothing could be done about the expensive progressive lenses. Since the glasses are only a few months old, I expected My Eyelab to stand behind their product. They did not! And so now I need to re-purchase glasses after only 4 months. I am on Social Security and this is a hardship for me. Customer service was absolutely zero and their integrity as a company is non-existent. The store manager, *****, was unsympathetic and unprofessional.

      I visited the ******************, ** location on 1/31/2023 for a contact lens exam. I was surprised to find out it was a virtual telemed appointment, but decided to proceed. Unfortunately, I had several questions about the prescription, and the virtual tech refused to answer anything. She said to ask the store employee. Of course the store employee is not qualified to answer questions about the prescription and refused to do do so. He took my money and sent me on my way. He said there is no way to ask any questions. Apparently there is nobody that is willing to answer any questions from patients. The prescription they gave me is much higher than my current prescription and the Dr. that signed it is nowhere to be found. He is not the person that did the virtual telemed appointment. Seems fraudulent/illegal. I am going to file a complaint with the state medical board . I would like a refund of my $99 so that I can go somewhere else with someone that will actually provide real vision care.

      I went to this store to get a new prescription for eyeglasses and buy a new pair of glasses. The store offers a deal of buying two pairs of eyeglasses for $ ***** and a free eye exam (with the condition that the customer buys the glasses). I did the eye exam with a doctor via virtual meeting. In the store, only an assistant is at the lab to assist the doctor who is online. After finishing my exam, the assistant (Virginia) asked me to wait in the lobby area while the doctor finished the prescription. After some time, I was called again to retake the exam with a different doctor; I did it, and then, after some time, I received my prescription and ordered two pairs of eyeglasses. I went home, and after some days, I was called to pick up one of my eyeglasses that were ready. I picked it up and started to use it, but the prescription was not good. I returned to the store and told them about the issues, and it was necessary to retake (the third time) all exams again, and I did. After waiting for the doctor to finish the prescription, I was asked to take the exam again (the fourth time), and I did. In all four times that I took the exam, when the doctor tried some possible final prescription options at the end of the exam, none were good. The third and fourth times I took the exam, I explained to the doctors what was happening. At the end of the day, I explained to the assistant (Virginia) that the doctors were not helping me find the correct prescription. The fourth doctor who assisted me said if the prescription were not good, I should say it to the assistant, and I did it. Then, ******** and I went to the lab one more time (the fifth time), and with her, we found a combination of lens that I found good (Although Virginia is an assistant, she could control the machine and change the lens too). She talked by a chat with the doctor and he approved the prescription Virginia and I found. The final prescription for eyeglasses was Sphere OD **** OS **** and Cylinder OD **** (axis 160) and OS **** (axis 020). Because I also wanted a contact lens prescription, I needed to wait for the doctor to write the prescription for contact lenses. ******** asked me to come back the following day to have the prescription. Today I went there and when I received my prescription, it was different from what I finally got with Virginia. The prescription I received is Sphere OD **** OS **** and Cylinder OD **** (axis 160) and OS **** (axis 020). I told the manager (*****) that the prescription was wrong and he told me the information was correct according to what was written in the chat Virginia had with the doctor. I explained to him that it was incorrect because I was pretty sure about the correct grades that Virginia and I got together. I can't know if she wrote it wrong in the chat, but I am just trusting what she said to me. Now I have a prescription different from what was good and the manager told me that he could not modify the doctor's prescription nor give my money back because the eye exam was taken. Ok, it was done, but they did not give me the correct prescription. Finally, he said he could not do anything because "time is money," and I left the store. He did not demonstrate a real interest in finding a solution for me.

      Complaint: 18941381

      I am rejecting this response because:

      I just want my money back, and thats it.
      Let me tell a parable. If you have a car in which the water pump cracks, you will take it to a mechanic to get it fixed. When you get your car back, you expect that your car is good and the mechanic did the right job. But then, you take your car back home and notice it is still leaking water from the water pump. Then you take your car back to the same mechanic and he works again in your car to fix it. You have your car back and go home and notice the same issue is still happening. Then you go back to the mechanic to complain he was not fixing the problem and he tells you that he did his job and it will be as it is, that there is nothing more he can do for you. So, the problem was not solved. Your car is still leaking. Then you want your money back because you paid him but did not receive the service that you paid for, and the mechanic says that he will not give back your money because he did the job (actually, he did a job, but not a good job and is because of this that you want your money back because you are still having the same issue with your car). Obviously, the mechanic is stealing you because he offers a service (repairing cars), does not do the job,and gets your money.
      If you understood the analogy I just wrote, you will understand my case. I went to this store because I needed a new prescription,they were not able to give it to me and they recognized their failure, but they do not want to give me back my money. Look at the end of the message they send:
      We can do a remake from an outside source prescription since we could not get the best prescription for him.
      It is written: SINCE WE COULD NOT GET THE BEST PRESCRIPTION FOR HIM.
      You need to understand that does not exist the best prescription.Only exists correct and incorrect prescriptions. I got the incorrect prescription.
      This store is not worried about customer satisfaction. The message I received back was only a polite and standardized way they probably say to everybody that had trouble with them. If they were really interested in customer satisfaction, first, they would try to find (honestly)the correct prescription (regardless of how many tests were needed to get it); second,if not able to do so, they would automatically recognize their failure or inability to offer me the service, and finally, they would give my money back.But do you know what I listened to from the manager? The job was done. We cannot give your money back. Time is money. But only their time is money,probably.
      As the mechanic parable, the doctor did his job, however, I still have the same issue.
      Unlike the mechanic parable (where the customer went back twice), I did 5 exams. Do you think this procedure is normal? So please, only give my money back. I do not have any glasses with me,and even if I had them, they would serve for nothing since they would have the wrong prescription.
      And then you offered to me that if I paid for another prescription (from a different store or doctor) and went back to the store, you would do the job which I paid you for? This is so absurd as it is the refusal to refund me.
      With the greatest goodwill, I tried to resolve this issue with the manager. But he arrogantly did not want to resolve this issue and said something to me that proved his complete lack of interest in helping me. I am still trying to resolve this issue the easy way,but if you do not give my money back, I will have to take this matter to court,and it will be much worse for you because you will spend much more money than the 95 dollars you owe me now.

      Order Date: 01/06/2023 Order Number: ******** I purchased some reading glasses for $244.00. I was not satisfied with my purchase and attempted to return the product on 01/23/2023 for a Refund. I was quickly dismissed by the store Manager (*****) and told that a Refund could not & would not be processed? I was also told by this manager that the product I wanted a refund for was costing the store/company money. When I inquired why?; the response and reasoning seemed to be made up on the spot. Their refund policy states within 30 days of your purchase date you can either come in to get your glasses fixed or get a full refund for the glasses and lenses minus the eye exam fee. This obviously was not honored and again the store manager didn't seem to care or want to offer any sort of resolution to my issue. At this point I stepped outside & contacted customer service who in turn told me no one was picking up the phone at the store location, which I found strange with 3 employees in the store and not one customer inside the store. I've contacted customer service several times now and at this point I feel like customer service is giving me the run around and that My Eyelab has no issue with taking my/your money and adding other services (warranty) that I didn't even request, BUT has a huge issue with honoring their refund process. I wish I had done my research on this company as this seems to be an ongoing issue that many customers have encountered as it appears that the BAD experiences clearly outweigh the GOOD ones.I have a huge regret for giving this business my time, *************** It was truly an absurd and upsetting experience to say the least. I only ask that company to have some INTEGRITY, honor their refund policy and give me my refund for the product I paid for, that I'm not satisfied with in the amount of $244.00 Store Location:3401 **********. #*** Modesto, **. ***** Order Date: 01/06/2023 Refund Attempt Date: 01/23/2023 Order Number: ********

Ive been told 3 different things by all three staff members!!! Its been over a month and I STILL have not received contacts!!! And I have already paid!!!! I had to redo my eye exam because the guy helping me wanted to talk and make jokes more than do his job. I will never go back to this place and there will be a complaint to BBB. Run from this place!

      Greetings, I purchased an order of contact lenses, in store on 11/28/22. The associate assisting me informed me that I would receive my Contact Lenses Fitting (Exam order# ********) within 5-7 business days. She printed out my order receipt, which includes the order number for fitting lenses and my contact lens boxes (Exam order# ********). I paid a total of $93.00, after my ****************** My order was originally scheduled to be delivered on 12/5/22. I check on my order status online and it indicates my order was delayed until 12/12/22. Fast forward to 1/7/22, my order is still not received. I have made multiple calls to customer service for the status and I have received the same response, " Your order is delayed. You'll receive a text message once it is ready for pick up." In one occasion, I was informed that the box for my right eye prescription was received, but they are just waiting for my left eye prescription box. I have been waiting over 40 days, to receive my contact lenses. For a company with a mission statement of, "Making eye care easy." and the value of seeing "...integrity as building a foundation of trust with our customers...by communicating honestly, ensuring consistency, and delivering on our commitments." I have not been serviced with such integrity. Thank you.
