The prices continue climb. I'm thinking of surgery so that I can stop the daily contacts

It took almost 3 months to receive glasses. Lens direct didn’t seemed at all concerned and just kept sending these generic “order delayed” emails.

This isn't the experience we want our customers to have, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. We appreciate you sharing your feedback, as it helps us identify where we need to improve. Thank you for your patience and for giving Lens Direct the opportunity to serve you.

They were mid priced, single prescription glasses that I ordered two pairs because I am not perfect with the LENS SURFACE. That said within a few weeks of wearing a single pair, I took them off, went inside a business and came out to my car about an hour later and the lens had separated from the frame...completely. There was a wire that attached the frame to the glasses that remained intact. When I reached out to LenDirect to inquire repair, they charged me 90% of the original cost. These glasses broke with ZERO interaction with me at all...they were just sitting and then I had to PAY for their poor quality or poor workmanship. And because I complained they are taking an INORDINATE AMOUNT OF TIME TO GET IT BACK TO ME....I gave them 2 stars...probably 2 too many

Hello Edward! We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience. We understand how frustrating and disappointing it must have been to have a pair of glasses separate from the frame after only a few weeks, especially when you had not done anything to cause the damage. We also understand your frustration with being charged a significant amount for the repair and then having to wait an extended amount of time to receive your glasses back. That is certainly not the experience we want our customers to have, and we’re sorry we fell short of your expectations. Your concerns about the quality, repair process, and turnaround time are important to us, and we appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration this situation has caused.

Just to relate my experience with my progressive perscription that they screwed up 2 times. That with the super long wait time for glasses (do they ship from China or what I don't know why it takes so long. But I have 2 pair of glasses that they screwed up twice. One thing Walmart does well is make glasses at a good price with a great guarantee.

We understand how frustrating that must be, along with the longer-than-expected wait time. We truly appreciate your honest feedback and would love the opportunity to look into your orders and make things right.

I ordered 4 pairs of lenses for my frames. Each order was for 2 pair, one for reading, one polarized distance. The first order went fine, but slow, taking a full 4 weeks from mail-out to delivery. The second order had a failure of the reading lenses. They were completely wrong, and this is where the problems start. (1) I paid $30 for expedited service, which only took one week off the total time required. (2) I messaged them about the defective reading lenses; it took 4 weeks for them to process the new, replacement lenses. I've worked customer service all my working life. When there's a failure to deliver, one always goes to the max to make it right. Not these folks. No expedited service here, even when the original order included paying extra for it in the first place. Bottom line: You might get good service, you might not. They'll make it right, but they'll take another month to do it.

Hello Dwight! Thanks for sharing your experience. I’m sorry you had to deal with the incorrect lenses and such a long wait for the replacement. While it’s good that the issue was eventually resolved, I completely understand your frustration, especially after paying for expedited service. Four weeks for a replacement is a long time, and I agree that mistakes like this should be handled much more quickly and with greater effort to make things right.
