LensCrafters

I was waiting for just the right moment to buy. But that ended when my Oakleys finally broke after numerous times & numerous years, film faded, sauntered, etc. & the lenses were crappy polycarbonate; the worst optical clarity of the three main types: glass, plastic, or polycarbonate.
I’ve visited all three Lenscrafters locations to see what frames they had available for purchase & this one was by far the most competent. Not only did they have the widest selection of frames for me to choose from but the staff here were very knowledgeful, & were able to understand exactly what i needed. Not only that, but they made my HD lenses in 2 days! Over Memorial weekend!
I just picked them up an hour ago. I thought i was gonna have to wait till June. I have severe myopia & minor astigmatism in both eyes. I can only legibly read text from within a foot away from my face. Also, i had my eye exam here a day before we ordered the «new» HD digitally prepared plastic lenses (what took them so long?)
The eye examination had the latest equipment, all-​digital, perhaps except for the air shooter machine. (Again, what took them so long?) I didn’t have to have a retinal examination because last time i had it, extra $ 30, at the one across the street. But they haven’t synced their systems yet therefore they can’t transfer the photos :(I have EyeMed (insurance owned by Lenscrafters) & the CoPay was $ 70 w/​o the digital retinal scanner. I like how the doctor was quick & kept chit-​chat brief. Retinal exam & air shooter are for old-​people anyways e.g. detecting cataracts, macular degeneration, etc.
Ask for eye drops samples to keep your eyes lubed after having them dried from the exam. Especially because of the air puff machine.
I also love how this location is usually quiet & not usually slammed w/​customers, unlike the one across the street. They also seem to have the largest display & to be the only one’s w/​a clearance/​sale section of frames.
I chose Lenscrafters because they have a 30-​day money back guarantee on eye glass purchases. The latest technology. They own most other eyeglass companies anyways, unfortunately. Free Lifetime adjustments & pad replacements. Unlike Alvernon & Optical when i last went there in 2012; they were «all sales are final» last time i went.
Alvernon & Optical also didn’t have an optional protection plan like Lenscrafters which i bought. Because my last pair were breaking numerous times. They were Oakleys, made in China. The film had faded from exposure to chlorinated hot & bubbly jacoozi. Always needing adjustment & were irritating because they don’t curve around your ears like normal glasses. Even their sunglasses. They’re all looks but they sacrifice ergonomics. Falcon are better sunglasses $ 50 Amazon, designed by the Air Force.
Now i got the cheapest, perhaps the last pair of cheapest, full-​frame metal glasses. EyeMed covered 44% off the lenses. The current sale is 40% off lenses w/​a frame purchase till mid-​June. But i’d wait till March or September because that’s when they have their best offer, 50% off.

They have great customer service. Very nice staff. They are attentive, polite, and prompt.
