      The most terrible service from a manager ever! Recently I visited your Alton, IL store on E. Broadway. I was having my Longchamp sunglasses adjusted when the young lady accidentally cracked them. She told me she would replace them that they had them in the store. I was fine with this and wasn't upset. All of a sudden the manager appeared and said I had vision insurance which she didn't even check to see (and I no longer have it) and said to turn it in to them. Then the manager told me I would have to pay for them. I told her I didn't break them. Then she proceeded to tell me I would have to pay for half of them. Which again, I told her I wouldn't. I did get the replacement at no charge. Then she proceeded to reprimand the young lady in front of me. How embarrassing for her! I felt terrible for her and asked if she was ok. I have no idea where this manager came from but I will say I will NEVER return to that store as long as she is there and I have done business with them for years. She needs to be fired. She was the most unprofessional manager I have ever encountered. I'm sorry I am having trouble deleting the other complaint. It kept cutting me off when trying to type it.

      My wife and I used Crown Optical, at their ********** store in ******************, a couple of years ago. Terrible product, terrible service, and unprofessional, in addition to being vastly overpriced. This morning, I received an email from them, asking for me to confirm an appointment for next month..an appointment I never made, and never will make.I tried to call their store, and there is no provision to talk to a human..strictly voice mail. This is not good. I have a pretty damned good idea why they're not answering the phone.I also have a good idea that if I had NOT called, and demanded to have my "appointment" canceled, that they would try to charge me for it. Prove me wrong.In any event, I am DEEPLY unhappy with the professionalism of Crown Optical, **********.

      This patient was previously seen at the ********** practice on 11/4/2022. At that time the practice does set up an appointment as a courtesy to come in the following year. They call this a pre-appointment that the patient receives communication that an appointment has been reserved for them for this year. They are then instructed to call and confirm/ reschedule/ or cancel the appointment. They receive communication 2 weeks prior to this reserved NOT confirmed appointment. It is then up to the patient if they want to keep it. If they do not respond back to this communication they will also receive a call from the practice 5 days prior and if still nothing from the patient, the the appointment is cancelled. We do NOT charge patients for appointments that do not show up. This is just a friendly reminder that they are due for their yearly eye exam that is recommended each year for the health of their eyes.
