Lenses not correct - rude employee
Lenses not fitted correctly. In-experienced employee trying to convice me they were correct - even tho they were blurry. Finally returned the lenses and frames. May be a discount but $420 is not a discount in my opinion. employees need better cust serv training - as well as optical training. Wasted my time

March 7, 2011 I went to the VisionWorks store because I had seen an ad in the Sunday paper with a "buy any frame in the store for $59" notice. When I went to the store with my child I asked the price of the lenses, single vision. I was told that the lenses for a child 17 and under started at $139- on up to $189. I thought this was rather high(!) as I had been doing research prior to this visit. We left without making a purchase.
When I returned home I decided to call the VisionWorks store and confirm the lens price. During that call I was told the single vision lenses ranged from $84- to $139. When I asked the rep if this price applied to the (any style) $59 frames, there was a brief pause, and then she replied: "no, in that case the lenses start at$139."
I questioned why the change in lens prices, since, after all, they were the same just single vision lenses. The rep stated that "the $59- for any frame promotion has one pricing tier for lenses, and for those customers paying full price for frames, there is another pricing tier for lenses". In other words, there is a 2-tier pricing schedule which is inflated for the customer who buys the sale frames; but the customer who pays the regular, non-discounted price for the frames is not charged the inflated mark-up on the lenses, but just the usual selling price.
This business practice is Deceptive Advertising and I am filing a complaint with the Florida Department of Consumer Affairs.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
No glasses
We ordered a pair of glasses in November. We paid the full fee and were promised to the glasses in 10 days. Two months later the glasses have still not arrived and no date can be given. They just say they will arrive any day now, which is exactly what they told me at the end of November, the middle of December and again three weeks ago. When I ordered...

RX # 211730. I choose a Marc Jacob frame and asked the store associate to see if the lense would accommodate bifocals. With assurance, I ordered my Rx to be filled. Came back after a week and picked it up. I found it difficult to read no matter how far or near, something was not right. I went back to Visionworks and asked them to check and I was told that...

I had a similar issue when they had their BOGO promotion. I took my son to get "back up" glasses and was not told that the buy one get one pricing does not apply to children's frames and lenses. They wanted over $500 because the frames were BOGO but not the lenses. They regularly practice false advertising.
