      I purchased glasses at REMOVEDl downtown - REMOVED Their physical address couldn't be found here on BBB. Their other location in on REMOVEDin Santa Fe, NM.
      On 7/22/23 I purchased glasses at REMOVEDdowntown and have tried requesting a refund a couple of times and was denied. This is what happened:
      I've been experiencing a lot of stress. grief and eye discomfort with my last 2 visits here after my new eyeglass prescription with REMOVEDdowntown . The first time I experienced dizziness: I saw the room blur when turning my head and overall not able to see clearly out of them. So I scheduled another appointment for another eye exam because I was told there were no refunds.
      Yes
      I went to pick up my glasses again and this time in the office while trying on my new prescription, I saw reflections with halos and streaks while looking at the light bulb fixtures, the TV at home, and any light that was in front of me. When I complained about these issues to the employees at the store, I was told to take them home and try to adjust to them again!
      I have been seen here by REMOVED for my last two pairs of glasses and had no issues. There is a new eye Dr that I was examined named REMOVED at the downtown location in Santa Fe. I've recently learned the previous eye Dr is at the REMOVEDlocation now and are not at the downtown location. I called the REMOVED location and explained my situation and was told I would be charged for another eye examination although it is the same company. I do not want the glasses and want a full refund.
      I forgot to mention that I had to call my eye insurance company VSP for advice on this situation and was told that my frames should of not been ordered before the eye examination.

      According to our records we initially refunded the amount of $128.89 to REMOVEDwhich leaves a balance of $761.44. We are willing to refund this remaining amount to resolve this matter amicably. Please let me know if this is an acceptable resolution to this concern.
