  I ordered a pair of prescription eyelashes. I called to get them returned told them my lenses were not working for me they told me that I need to go back to my optician and get a new prescription but my prescription is up to date and I have a pair of glasses with the same prescription that broke that work just fine now they will not answer the phone and they do not email me back and they just got $188 outta me for lenses that don't even work for me. I feel very dizzy when I put them on and they pushed the blame onto other people. They lied and said they were going to give me a call back and now I can't even get through to a customer service representative.

  At this time, I have been contacted directly by CoolFrames.com regarding complaint ID ********, however my complaint has NOT been resolved because:
  They sent my glasses back, however the lenses kept falling out of the frame. I went to a local optical and they inspected the glasses. They didnt file the lenses to fit the frames. I asked them for a full refund and replace them with another optical. They want me to send them back again, and I cant until I replace them.

  I have given CoolFrames several opportunities to replace the glasses. I initially sent them and paid for overnight shipping. They received them and kept them for several days. I received the glasses and the lenses kept falling out. I had them looked at 2 local opticians and both confirmed that they never grinded the lenses to the frame. I sent them pics as well. The lenses fall out, but I dont have another pair of glasses I can use, and they refuse to send me a new pair or refund me to purchase glasses in person.

  we have remade the lenses 3 times at our cost. We make hundreds of eyeglasses daily. I am unsure as to the reason lenses *** *******'s lenses crack. We have replaced the lenses 3 times and this is an order over 1 year old. The last time the lenses were redone were shipped in early September and delivered to *** ******* on the 9th of September.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

  [The frames are standard Dolce Gabana and should qualify for refund; not exchange. If the firm knew that my prescription would not work with that frame, as they have written, why did they fill the prescription, mail it to me and produce an unusable and very expensive mistake for me to take full responsibility? In addition, I am willing to forego a refund on the poorly made lenses and accept only a full refund for the frames in the amount of $200.
  if the firm accepts this resolution, I will close the complaint. Let me be clear, I will not do further business with this firm and therefore will not accept an exchange as resolution.  
  The firm is offering to redo lenses changing the add on for the bifocal from 2.75 to +2.50. This is not acceptable . This firm has a poor reputation and does not accept responsibility for their products or services with the customer satisfaction in mind. I was not satisfied with the product nor services and therefore a partial refund should be provided. I will not wear anything produced with shoddy quality as I have glaucoma and need my vision. I can do with no new glasses since the firm will not give a full refund.

  Note the pictures of the product so thick like bottles and missing the correct vertex or distance from cornea. The firm didnt reach out to me, the valued patient and customer, to inform me that the prescription would not work. They are the experts. To allege the burden was on me to call them is absurd. These are standard frames, not custom, and should be refunded. This is the minimum resolution I ask.  I cannot use these frames.

  14 on optical. The business will not refund any of the purchase. They will exchange frames but require me to spend several hundred on new lenses. This company will not work with me; Im on limited income, 71 years retired from working overseas for 28 years in danger pay for the Army and ***************** I cannot afford to get glasses this year now. I asked for even a refund on the frames and the company will not. I received them yesterday, June 3, 2024.I do not recommend this firm and feel like they are very poor optical providers.

  The order was filled as purchased, we provided everything as in the order based on ****************** manual checkout. She did not call to ask us for advice on what type of frame is best for her very high prescription, if she would have she would be told that a thin metal frame on the larger size is not the way to go with such a high prescription. We had to custom order both frame and lenses and although the lenses are exchangeable they are not returnable. The frame can be exchanged and we suggest a much smaller size to eliminate the heaviness and thickness of the lenses.

  Just a full refund is not possible as all of this was custom made. We are happy to work with ***************** to exchange the eyeglasses and provide a thinner lighter finished product.

  Thank you for reaching out to us on the BBB, As we said to *** ******* back in June we can certainly exchange the lenses for the new prescription provided, but we cannot refund the lenses as they are custom made. The Rx was entered manually and the patient only provided us a hard copy when we requested the Rx when the patient complained of difficulty seeing. The ** did not match what was manually entered, this happens from time to time. If you would still like to exchange the lenses for the updated Rx I would be more then happy to do so.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

  [These frames are not custom and were very expensive. I wish a refund on the frames and will accept the loss on the prescription lenses. This is reasonable expectation on the customer rights. The issue is the lenses were not correct with Vertex. My complaint is the lenses will not work with the frames. I wish a refund of the frames and will sacrifice the prescription lenses. Im on a fixed income, elderly and am profoundly disappointed with the customer service. Im helpless to recoup this large loss but seriously advise Anyone to avoid business with this firm. There is no recourse provided. Your Answer Here]

  I purchased glasses from coolframes on March 20th and received them a month later (red flag 1) even though they advertised two day shipping as shown below in my order status. Upon receiving the glasses I immediately noticed that they were not like progressive lenses that I have worn for the past ten years and after trying to wear for about two hours I had a headache so i sent them the following email ;I would like to return my glasses due to the poor quality of the lenses. I have worn progressive lenses for ten years and these are not what I am used to wearing. I cannot even walk comfortably while wearing them for fear of falling. I have tried to make them work by thinking that I needed time to adjust to them however they are still not working. Please advise.

  First let me say thank you so much for your order. I can tell you with 100% certainty the lenses we made you are progressive and If need be I can provide a receipt from our lab to attest to it. We have been making eyeglasses for over 25 year in store and online. Occasionally progressives do not fit perfectly and we are able to remake them at no charge to our customers for 60 days. We would be more then happy to do that in your case, we would even provide a return label and instructions on how to proceed with redo. Unfortunately due to the commoditization of lenses we are unable to offer a refund on them. Please reach out to me directly to my email to discuss a resolution. *********************************
