Lyed about exam
Lyed about exam, lyed about time to get glasses, when I finally got them late they took a long time to find them because they don't know about the alphabet. Waste of time. My time they wasted was worth more than the glasses by far

We were there for over 2 1/2 hours
We were there for over 2 1/2 hours, i had my newborn son with me and there was no urgency. I was overcharged and they prepared the wrong glasses. When I was asked why I was overcharged they said that's the taxes. I'm stuck with two pairs of glasses that I don't want.

Well when they came back I tried and they were blurry on so she had me put on and redid the progressive lines and said she would send one pair back to redo and if it worked she would send other pair ,well got that pair back and it was same thing ,I told her it’s the prescription but didn’t want to listen to me just wanted to sell me a up grade of progressive.I have never had this problem getting glasses with other company.So I got frustrated and just told her to give me my glasses because I will not pay another 2-3 hundred dollars for a upgrade of progressive lens when it’s the prescription so she gave me my glasses and I left.
