Pearle Vision pearle vision lenses

I brought my own frames because I noticed Pearle's frames were costly. Therefore, I only ordered lenses for two frames from Pearle Vision Center, Somerville, MA, 02143. With a so-called 20% discount for my insurance, I was charged $1, 500! For the same lenses with the same added features (tinted, thinnest lenses, glare resistant, high prescription for low vision) Zenni charged $88 (including a frame) per glasses and Vision Works charged $300 for a full pair of glasses with the same prescription. Unlike Pearle Vision, the latter companies had a money back guarantee. Pearle rep said I could only get an exchange. I assumed with the high cost, I would get better lenses for my low vision prescription. Instead, it was the same quality lenses as the other retailers (I actually brought my former glasses from Zenni and Vision Works for the Pearle Rep to compare). I told the Pearle rep I couldn't accept the lenses, so she sent them out again to get the lenses done "by someone else". It took over a month to get the unacceptable lenses, so I doubt if I'll approve the second attempt. No two sets of lenses alone should cost $1500 with a 20% discount. Pearle overcharged me! I am leaving complaints and poor ratings wherever I can to warn potential clients of this company.

Pearle Vision eyeglasses and pooooor management, what a scam

I went in to get my eyes checked and ended up deciding to get glasses there also, I looked at frames an decided to buy glasses, the sales woman pretty much picked out the most expensive choices for my glasses without explaining to me what I would be buying i asked for distant glasses, she insisted i get bifocals i told her told t that is not what i wanted, but they told me if i did not like them i could bring them back and get what i originally asked for free of charge, because lenses without bifocals were more expensive, and that is untrue, I called 2 other pearl visions to confirm the managers lie, She then asked for my credit card and never told me until she ran it that my insurance had already paid 700 dollars, on top of the 298 dollars they charged my card, it was totally unprofessional and shaky, it was as she was charging my insurance for all these add ons i wasent even aware of.So being upset over the idea of 1, 000 dollar glasses that i dont wear on a daily basis nor did i want in the first place because of the bifocals i did not want, they would not take no for an answer i turned around and went back to the store within 5 minutes of leaving to cancel my order, and he said he had to call and see if they had started making them, and if they did they were non refundable so he called someone and asked if they were being made, i asked to talk to the person on the phone and he said they had started making them and i could not get a refund. I was told in the beginning that they would take 14 days, so that was the second lie, ther was no way they were being made that quick, there was never anyone on the other end of the phone he was only acting as if he were talking to someone, because i wanted my money back.. I decided to try the glasses and I cant see anything out of them I went to another eye doctor to get my eyes rechecked and the prescription for distance was 225 and my eyes are 175, SO im still fighting to get my money back, they are a terrible place to get glasses, and they are liars ... I would like a refund this has been going on since 4/05/2019 i have tried them like they asked and now the prescription is very wrong, there phone number is 570-546-8315 the managers name is CHRISTOPHER R. MOYER he is the general manager and a liar. I have been disputing with my credit card company and my insurance company to get my money back since 4/05/2019 thank you, the case number with discover card is 356400372B if you need to speak to them.

Pearle Vision request for pd measurement

I completed my order and they measured PD and I asked for the results and they refused because it is private. I said they are my results and I am entitled to my results. Then they told me there would be an extra twenty dollar charge to give me that information because it was a test. I said yes it was the test to order my glasses. I told the girl that's a deal breaker and I wanted to speak to the person who told her to tell me that. Finally the doctor came out and was very rude and said thats the policy and I asked her are you ready to lose a sale and a customer over a policy and she very nastily replied yes. I should have known when they quoted me my insurance benefits and told me I was wrong and I had downloaded the benefits and called VSP on the phone who confirmed I was right. Pearl Vision hires rude and condescending people to manipulate the customer like they are doing you a favor. Run the other way.

Pearle Vision lenses and frames

Frames were sent to dallas from okc to be loaded with new lenses. Lenses were messed up in dallas and had to be redone.
Glasses showed up after about a month and i had to take them back. They had to send them back to dallas again. 2.5 or 3 weeks later the glasses showed up and were STILL not right.
Now, i have a new pair of ray ban glasses that i cant wear. I had them made for work, and i cant wear them there seeing as there is not a reading lens along with the distance in the glasses.
Now the asm is giving me a run around after 5 phone calls in to the store where they tell you, " I'll have to get with my manager".

Pearle Vision prescription sunglasses

I have been shopping at PVC for 10+ years. 1st in Va. (last name was Hairston) and then this year in NJ. (last name Tucker). I spend at least $800-$1000 over my insurance because I like really nice glasses/sunglasses. March of 2019-usual exam, glasses & contact script($900+). Pick up glasses & sunglasses about 3 weeks later. Sunglasses are not fitting correctly (maybe coach). The coach sgs I have currently, were bought 4 years ago. My prescription has changed slightly every year, but I cannot find any sgs, like these. I return the new Sgs that I bought March 19-today, and get the "rude around" 1st I'm told about the 30 day return policy and they try to compare buying jeans at the store next door, I ask what does that have to do with glasses? Then I was advised they could be taken back, just inspect for scratches. I advised you won't find any because I have only worn them a few times and went back to wearing my old ones. I told them that last year I went to Lens Crafters only because I did not know where the PVC was at the time, and bought new sunglasses (Tiffany). They took them back and refunded my money after 5 months, because they just did not fit. Glasses were fine. I was advised "that's them, not us". Then I was told I could pick another pair and would be given a credit on the books if they were less/ or pay extra if they were more. I advised, that since I had to order my contacts anyway, I would just use the credit to get them and be done with the store. I had just bought new glasses and sun glasses in March. Glasses are fine. I did not want to return to this store next year. Then I was told I could not get contacts but could get glasses, because contacts were different. I said I understand that they are different. But I have a script from them that I paid for and since I was coming back to the store to get my contacts anyway after trying the samples... the associate then interrupts me and says, Is that what you want some more samples to make it right? I say no, if I'm going to have a credit, I would order my contacts, pay an additional $40 and then come back to pick them up along with these new sunglasses that may or may not work. The associate gets up to again ask the other associate could I get contacts and she said no and also no credit. If the new sunglasses I choose are less than the cost of the ones I have, then too bad. I said, you just told her less than 5 min ago that I would have a credit on the books. What difference would it make if it were glasses or contacts? She advised, well she (the other associate) has only been here for a few months and does not know what she's talking about. I said really? You just told her what to tell me. Also, when I was there in March, I spent an hour in the store and knew this lady had 1. Been at the store for over a year, was divorced and moving! Mind you, there are only 5 people in the store. Myself, 2 sales associates and 2 other customers who are with the 1 doing all the talking...meaning you can here a pin drop in the store and I here everything she is telling her to tell me ( she was literally 20 feet away). Finally the associate says, well do you just want us to give you some contacts, would that make it right? I say no, if I'm going to have a $60+ credit, I would like to use it towards a contact lens order, pay you $40 and come back for it along with this 2nd pair of sunglasses that may or may not work. I was still advised no credit. I left with the sunglasses that I cannot use, the owners card and advised I would contact corporate.
All I want now is a refund for the sunglasses that I bought in March.
I noticed that the old Coach sunglasses I have have a metal bar going through the arms, maybe that is why they are so sturdy HC8049(L043 Alexa). They are trifocals, 3D, Blue and tourtise shell arms. have worn them for the past 4 years now. excercising, walking, trips, etc. they have been dropped a few times, never been adjusted, and the only thing wrong with them is that they have a tiny scratch in one of the lenses and the script is 4 years old. I would buy a new pair in a NY 2nd, if I could find them. Or just have the lenses changed.
In the meantime time I again would like a refund for the sgs bought in March and never have to deal with this store in Moorestown NJ, again. 1st 2 pics are the old sunglasses, 2nd 2 pics are the new ones.

Pearle Vision termination of employee without reason

Working for this location is horrible. The management is lacking customer service and lacking communication with employees. When an employee ask for their review, to make sure they are properly performing and so they will excel in their positions, they are denied. Ironically the employee was permanently taken off the schedule and assumed to been terminated with NO reason. Oddly no one officially terminated the employee, it was assumed. Only reason that would make any sense is because employee was displeased with manager and directed to someone above him. The issue with that is, that person was bias because she is in the same inner circle as the manager and protects his actions. Work environment is hostile and very bias. Manager does not take responsibility for his actions, when management is tardy, employees do not get credit for the time that they have to wait, even though they were punctual. Manager also belittles both employees and customers.Several people have been forced out due to their practice. This location does not care about their employees.

Pearle Vision sunglasses

I bought a pair of ray ban sunglasses from the above-referenced office and paid $150.00 with gift cards and the rest with cash. I called the pearl vision office to cancel the glasses as I found a different pair I wanted. The clerk who waited on me kept the gift cards and threw them way. This office said that there is nothing they can do. The clerk should have told us to keep the cards if you had a problem with the glasses and they won't refund our money.

I purchased 2 pairs of glasses totaling $1, 150 from the Robinson Twp. PA.
Pearl Vision. Within a month the right lens of the reading glasses had scratched, so I contacted the store. I explained I added the scratch resistance option for $160 and wanted them to confirm that it was added when they fix the scratch. The manage said it was not the scratch resistance because they can scratch even with it. I Let the manage know I understood but wanted them to verify that it was applied because that was an option I called in after I purchased so maybe that was missed when they were made. The bottom line was because the glasses scratched quickly after, and given I had called in the option after, I wanted the scratch resistance verified. After explaining 3 times she hung up on me. I called corporate and was told to fill out a complaint form. The supervisor said I could not contact anyone directly that could help and the complaint form was the only way. Terrible support

Pearle Vision unethical behaviour

5/5/2019 I called the Peale Vision in Henderson, NV at 1381 W Sunset Rd Ste 120 at 10:51am and spoke with Diego. I asked if there was a way that I could be seen as I was experiencing a vision problem. He stated that they were booked with appointments but that he could get me in between them. He then told me that I should come to the store between 1:30pm and 1:45pm as the doctor would be at lunch from 12:30pm until 2:00pm. I arrived at the store at 1:40pm and checked in. Diego did keep me informed that I would have to wait until the appointments were seen. I even offered to come back at the end of the day and he told me it was best if I waited. I was ok with this as I was aware that they were trying to get me in between the appointments and I was experiencing a vision problem and wanted to be seen that day. At 3:30pm, Diego then informed me that he had spoken with the doctor and that they were expecting a no show so that I could be seen, but everyone had shown up for their appointment. Therefore, there was no way that I could be seen and would have to come in another day. There was still a chance that the last appointment of the day would not show up so I was given the opportunity to leave and call back at 4:30pm to see if I could be seen. I was never told that there was a chance that I would not be seen that day if all of the appointments did show up. Who in their right mind would wait hours to be told that they may not be seen after sitting in a office? The behavior of Diego and the doctor was completely unethical in my opinion. As a medical professional, I have never seen this happen, being told to wait for hours and then not be seen! In reality, the doctor would have taken 5 minutes with me! If this is Pearle Vision's policy then you should be ashamed of your business. I hope to get a response to this situation [protected]@cox.net

Pearle Vision dr. nick man vu

On 5/8/19, my daughters and I had scheduled exams. Prior to this, I brought my eldest daughter in with a script to get glasses. We worked with Vicky, your store manager, and her associates and I found them to be professional and great to work with. Therefore, I scheduled exams for myself and other daughter. We were met by Dr. Vu who was extremely condescending and arrogant from the start. I tried giving him some background by telling him that we would need contact lenses and glasses for my youngest daughter. He said that he "doesn't like to double dip with insurance and will give me a deal." I wasn't sure what that meant so I inquired further. At first, I thought he meant he would give me a discount on either glasses or contacts knowing insurance would only pay for one. He then said it would cost an additional $75 for me to own my daughters prescription. I asked him what that meant because I was under the impression insurance covers the exam and any written prescriptions minus the copay. He then said to me: " I have been doing this for 19 years and own 3 stores so try to keep up with me." So I paused and said that's great but you are still not answering my question about this $75 script charge. He then said: "ok. let me try to explain this to you a third time." At that point, I crumbled up the information sheet I was filling out and told him we were done and no longer wanted the appointment. Vicky heard what happened and continued to apologize to me. Even she said he doesn't explain himself properly. You would think if this isn't the first time this has happened they would want to replace him. I am appalled at the way this Doctor- who represents your company treated us. The biggest problem I now have is my eldest daughters glasses aren't correct and now I have no recourse because he's the only doctor. So now I have to take her to another doctor and pay out of pocket. I would be happy to discuss this with you further and may be reached at [protected]. I really hope you care enough to seriously consider getting another doctor in to represent your clientele. Sadly, because of him, you have lost 3 clients.
thank you for your time.

Pearle Vision employee broke my glasses

I was visiting a Pearle Vision today 4/15/2019 in the Ga Square Mall to inquire to get my glasses tightened up since I am a former customer over the years from buying Contacts and eye glasses. The employee broke my frames and proceeded to tell me she isn't responsible and there is nothing she can do and that I had to pay $135 for another pair of frames. This is wrong and very bad for business for Pearle Vision. The employee was rude and not helpful in telling me how to contact the owner of the franchise. I will be talking to an Attorney asap if this matter is not dealt with. Thank you, Jason Baxter [protected] or [protected]

Pearle Vision terrible customer service

Went for eye appointment, was told there is NO appointment, then was told, "Wait 10 minutes. Dr can squeeze you in, " waited 2 hours, then asked to use bathroom, was told "It's not for public use" then "It's broken." In other words: receptionist lost my appointment, lied about bathroom and wait time. Then I bought frames, clerk misread my script, didn't offer me sale price, the next day I called unhappy with my frames, was told "no exchanges" in other words: she didn't read my script right, didn't guide me to pick correct frames, overcharged me, and told me no exchanges, ALL wrong information. It took several visits dealing ONLY with the manager to get right frames and prices. The other 2 clerks were a nightmare, uncaring, ill-trained and rude.

Pearle Vision against optical business

Pearle vision-copperfied
Seen by: elaine kmiec, od, license #2721tg
7085 hwy 6 n
Houston, tx 77095

On december 27, 2018, I went to pearle vision-copperfield with a redeemed coupon "groupon at pearle vision" (which cost me $54.00) to do the annual vision exam. Days after my appointment to make me the "annual vision exam", I received a massage on the email asking me: how would I rate pearle vision? (notify@r. Groupon.com). Let begin what happened the day of the exam:

1- while the optometry (elaine kmiec, od) was examining me, the lady in the front desk came to the exam room to let the doctor know that she was over her time. Then she proceeded to stand there and wait in the examining room until the doctor knew that she was over her time. Then she proceeded to stand there and wait in the examining room until the doctor was done. I thought this was inappropriate behavior not only to the doctor, but to myself as a patient. I felt I had no privacy while the doctor was examining me. Again, her behavior was inappropriate and completely unprofessional. I do hope this behavior is discussed. I was shocked at the lack of professionalism on behalf of the front desk clerk (I think her name is melinda, (when you enter the office, that person sits on the left side of the front desk). Also, my son carlos figueroa is a witness, he was with me.

2- I ordered the glasses which cost me $297.95. Also paid $79.00 for contact lenses (which I did not order, because did not see either (I use contact lenses from the age of 16, I turned 82 years old) plus the coupon $54.00, total amount paid was from $430.95
3- unfortunately, a few days later, I caught the "flu" - with a tremendous infection in my right eye (what caused me to go to the emergency room at n cypress med center hospital on saturday, january 12, 2019). The eyes infection was terrible. I was prescribed for 10-days of antibiotic. The next week I went to see the optometrist to explain why I had not returned, but they do not allow me to talk with the optometry (just thru the front desk clerk) I was told to return after I finished the antibiotic for 10-days, to check my vision because of the infection.

4- after few calls, finally I went on monday, january 28, 2019, elain kmiec, od, to check my vision. Results: I was told nothing was wrong with the new prescription. I keep telling the optometry all the time while I was sitting on the exam room, that with the new glasses on, "I am seeing double the picture in front of me." the optometry continues checking the glasses, but again, no communication at all between the optometrist and patient, just thru the clerk who ordered the glasses.

5- when I asked the optometry elaine kmiec, od to explain to me what's going on, I was told "go to talk with that person (the clerk).

6- the clerk, named maria (refuses to give me her complete name) asked me if I want to reordered the glasses again; I asked,"if i'm seeing double, as I inform the doctor, how will I order the glasses with the same prescription?" — also, I noticed the right glass was scratch, I notified the optometry while I was on the exam room, she checked the glasses over and over with one of the equipment at the office, but with no comments to me.

7- I want a refund, but they penalized me with the 30% restocking fee, according to a small document (attached-no refund after 30 days) which I had signed. They did not take into consideration that I got sick with during that time period the"flu" and the infection in my right eye.

8- the cost of the glasses $297.95. The restocking fee of 30% = $89.39, which is money that I will lose through no fault of my own. They kept the glasses until I resolve this concern. As up to date, and after I paid the amount of $430.95, I do not have glasses neither contact lenses.

9- when I asked the clerk to talk with her supervisor, I was told that I have to call the corporative office for which they don't have an address. They just given to me the telephone number, 1-877-486-6486, which I called with no success.

10- please let me know what action I need to take for them to return to me the complete cost of the glasses. Also, I do not believe I should be penalized a 30% restocking fee based on the illness that kept me at home during the 30-day pearle basic protection period, when I paid the amount of $430.95 total, that should be reimburse to me.

Sincerely,

Elba e rivera

Pearle Vision glasses & lens' are terrible even though I paid for thin lens

I purchased glasses for my son on the 30th of November. They were supposed to be thin lens with a $542. price tag on them. The moment he put them on, he informed them he couldn't see out of them when he looked down. They have given us every excuse in the book as to why he cannot see & of course, it's all of our fault, not Pearl's. They were pretty pissed that I accused them of using cheap lens' as opposed to what I paid for. They even went so far as to call my eye Dr. They might as well call me a liar to my face. Needless to say, I now have to pay $100 for another eye exam to prove to Pearle that it was the correct RX given to us. Whatever happened to 100% satisfaction guarantee that is stated on the back of the receipt. They are refusing to put new lens' in & just want to give me my money back & for us to go away. Totally unprofessional. They are wasting my time, as it's an hour & a half drive each direction to Pearl. We've been there 4 times no with zero satisfaction. I have a picture of the exact RX glasses sise by side beside my sons & it's night & day difference to the thickness.

At least you got an offer of a refund! Pearle rep refuses to give me a refund!
I brought my own frames because I noticed Pearle's frames were costly. Therefore, I only ordered lenses for two frames from Pearle Vision Center, Somerville, MA, 02143. With a so-called 20% discount for my insurance, I was charged $1, 500! For the same lenses with the same added features (tinted, thinnest lenses, glare resistant, high prescription for low vision) Zenni charged $88 (including a frame) per glasses and Vision Works charged $300 for a full pair of glasses with the same prescription. Unlike Pearle Vision, the latter companies had a money back guarantee. Pearle rep said I could only get an exchange. I assumed with the high cost, I would get better lenses for my low vision prescription. Instead, it was the same quality lenses as the other retailers (I actually brought my former glasses from Zenni and Vision Works for the Pearle Rep to compare). I told the Pearle rep I couldn't accept the lenses, so she sent them out again to get the lenses done "by someone else". It took over a month to get the unacceptable lenses, so I doubt if I'll approve the second attempt. No two sets of lenses alone should cost $1500 with a 20% discount. Pearle overcharged me! I am leaving complaints and poor ratings wherever I can to warn potential clients of this company.

Pearle Vision accused of stealing with no information provided

My husband and I were visiting the store at 680 South, IL-59, Naperville, IL 60540 on Wednesday, November 21st 2018 and we were in the store mostly by ourselves, with the exception of one family who was there for about the first 5 minutes we were there. My husband and I tried on frames, spoke with the staff, and left. A couple hours later we got a phone call from the Naperville Police Department stating we were accused of stealing frames. Your staff reported that we stole items without knowing which frames- nobody could tell us if they were alleging that it was men's or women's frames stolen, and your staff could only say they had "filled up the boards when we were there" which was false and the security footage will show this. They also didn't contact the family who was in there at the same time as us. Nobody could tell us how much they were alleging we stole, but did tell us it would be a felony- which I believe is outrageous considering their glasses mostly cost less than $500.

A responsible store would have reviewed video footage and then called police since they had our license plate. However when I called and asked to see the footage I was informed they don't have access to it and would review it later. I asked that they don't watch it without me there- and offered my phone number to the manager who said she would get it from the police.

I have not heard anything since and it is now 11/26/18. We have been wrongly accused with no information given, and there is now a police report with our names on it and this has caused serious emotional distress for my husband and myself, especially over the holiday. I am disgusted at the complete lack of professionalism and responsibility by the staff.

Pearle Vision contact eye exam

I received a contact eye exam today. I was informed that there was a $20 charge for training and I agreed. I was unable to place the contacts in my eyes during the visit. I was told it would be against the law to allow me leave with a pair of contacts to work with at home. I was also denied a prescription for the contact exam. I spent $125 and received nothing. The store manager offered to let me return for training but refused to refund the exam fee or provide contacts or a prescription.

Pearle Vision frames not received after a month

I order my glass from Pearl Vision on 09/29/18, it's now 10/31/18 and I still do not have my glasses. My provider VSP had to get involved and contact the store to follow up on my behalf. I was advised today (10/31/18) by VSP that my glasses should be shipped to store later tonight (10/31/18) EST. I will NEVER recommend anyone to Pearl Vision for this matter! Store Manager 'Pierrce' was of no help (never retuned my call as he said he would). Employees of the store never followed up with a phone call as they too said they would. The employee that assist me (of no help also) name is pronounce "Z". Absolutely POOR Customer Service at Tuttle Crossing Mall (Dublin, OH).

Pearle Vision frames and service

I had an eye exam in May 2018, in which I used my insurance, chose my frames then picked them up the beginning of July. I possessed them 1 week to try them out and found the frames were too small. I returned them for a slightly bigger pair of frames an waited 2 weeks for them to come in. I picked them up and gave them a try for a week and found I still couldn't see through them. I went back to Pearle Vision and the new doctor rechecked my eyes and found that the original prescription was not correct. I had to again wait another two weeks for my glasses to come back. After receiving the new lenses, I still couldn't see through them. The doctor checked my eye alignment and found, yet again, they had to change something on the prescription and then proceeded to bend the glasses to fit my face. After again waiting for the new lenses to arrive to weeks later, I picked them up, wore them for one week and the arm of the frames broke. I go back to Pearle Vision about this and the women tells me she can't do anything about this because it's been past 30 days. I didn't even get to wear them a full 30 days! I was forced to pay out of pocket for new frames and lenses! I feel I should not have had to pay at all for the lenses (they were the same original prescription) and I should have been given a refund for the original frames that broke from being bent by the doctor. I have pictures and receipts upon request. I want to know how Pearle Vision is going to rectify this situation. I am still awaiting my new, repurchased frames to come in and still owe a balance on them. I will be contacting BBB and FTC if this is not rectified.

Sincerely,

Kelly Bailey

Pearle Vision glasses

I went to Ferndale Mi Pearle Vision. I have now been waiting a month to get my glasses. This all started with my vision test. Was told I had cataract. For some reason still fitted for lenses even though they would be useless after surgery. Had to fight to get Pearl Vision to get them to cover new lenses. Brought in results from new vision test from Dr that did cataract surgery with my glasses. When I dropped off they never measured me. This resulted in the glasses being completely wrong when I went to pick them up. They also broke my frames while they had them the first time which delayed everything. So of course they had to be sent back and start all over again. I was told 7-10 days and we are going on two weeks and a total of a month. I have never had such a horrible experience and I have been wearing glasses for over 40 years. If you want to make me a happy customer include a pair of new prescription sun glasses. If not i suppose i just wait and hope my glasses come at some point before the year ends.

Pearle Vision customer service

My daughter had her prescription filled at the Pearle Vision on North Penn in OKC. over 5 weeks has passed and she still does not have her glasses. I was understanding the first time I called after 3 weeks. I was promised a call back my the manager several times, and never received a single call from anyone at this location. My daughter had to return to school, the manager did offer to expedite the glasses and another delivery date was promised. Again that date came and went with NO call regarding the very expensive glasses we had paid for. I called again today only to find out they sent the glasses (verified through UPS) ground and we hope to have them by this Friday. Absolutely the worst customer service experience in the 18 years of purchasing glasses for my daughter. I will never return, nor will I recommend anyone use this company.
