Essilor Xperio is not a product

The quality of Essilor Xperio lenses has deteriorated to the point where they hardly qualify as eyeglass lenses. The manufacturer's attitude is appalling. I ordered polarized Xperio lenses; a previous pair I bought was perfect, but now they are churning out defective, unusable products. There are manufacturing defects right in the line of sight—about a quarter of the way in from both the right and left edges—taking the form of visible "IO" marks measuring roughly 2x2 mm. This blurs the image; when driving, oncoming vehicles and road signs appear distorted. The manufacturer has rejected my complaint, claiming this is normal and that these are merely invisible engravings.

I don't know if this is solely the local Essilor approach or worldwide but it affects the entire brand.

Edit:
Thank you Agnes for your response. As I can agree the case is local, I must point your attention to the fact that the glasses are Essilor branded. This means the Essilor product quality is very bad, no matter who sells it.

Dear Customer,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to learn about your experience.

However, the order reference provided indicates that this case concerns Essilor Poland, which operates independently from our entity. As we do not have access to the details of your order, complaint history, or quality assessment, we are unfortunately unable to investigate or comment on the outcome of the case.

We encourage you to continue working directly with Essilor Poland, which is the only entity able to review your complaint and provide you with detailed information regarding the assessment of your lenses.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns and hope that Essilor Poland or your optician, will be able to assist you further.

Kind regards,
Agnes
Head of Essilor (France) Relation Consommateurs

Disappointing

This is a replacement pair of glasses, the original pair of green transition lenses went yellow blotchy/stripey in the sunlight, this replacement pair are only a year old and doing exactly the same thing.
If this problem not happened twice I would be very happy with the glasses.
At the extortionate price I expected much better quality.

Lenses turned brown/yellow

In February 2021, we bought 8 pcs. Varilux Physio (4 green Transition and 4 Gray Transition). 4 of them turned yellow/brown before February 2023. We wrote to the Essilor authorized optician but never got a reply. The 2 glasses also have stripes in Transition in sunshine. The other 4 glasses are fine. The 4 lenses that fail are in Lindberg frames. Is it a coincidence or is it due to the thinner and stronger type of glass that Lindberg frames require? In that case, Essilor should not put Varilux Physio in the Lindberg frame. In Denmark, these glasses cost a lot of money. When we had the Varilux Comfort in the Lindberg frame, we had no problems with color change or shades. What is the explanation?
