Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because: This respondent is reporting partial truths.Yes, I have never accepted the response from Vision Works. The refund alleged to have been made was not for the glasses. It was a meager amount for an overcharge on an eye exam. Yet their response leads one to believe that they refunded payment for the glasses, in this case, the redundant charge for two lenses.Second, the respondent claims that they have a multitude of one eyed patients. Whether they be pirates or whatever, none of their advertising is informative as to the charge for multiple lenses. Typically, when one purchases glasses, the charge is for lenses in both eyes. This is the practice at other retailers such as Sears, For Eyes, etc. It is absurd to condone the charge claiming that this respondent deals with an extensive number of one-eyed patients. Perhaps this respondent would like to give us more details on exactly the number of clients who purchased just one lens and the number who purchased two lenses, right and left eye.As far as a successful resolution to this issue it would be fair that both my wife and I receive a refund for the charge of a second lens. The marketing by this respondent is deceptive and takes unfair advantage of individuals by failing to specify that its advertised charges are for only one lens

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because:
The response received by the office is incorrectThey were made aware several times that we have insurancesWe were specifically asked to fill out TWO customer forms, one for each insurance, we were shown frames that VSP would cover for glasses, and we discussed how VSP covers transition lenses as the reason that we would be ordering glasses through VSP and contacts through ***We also provided the office with the benefits information for both insurances while we were thereWhile speaking with the General Manager, she showed both customer forms, one for each insurance.
Additionally, the General Manager asked for the contact back from my husbandKeep in mind these contacts were in his eyes! Also, we expected a longer appointment time given the time of year, but most of the time was spent waiting for the General manager and speaking with the associates about the insurance coverage.
It is stated that the contact portion of the exam was refundedWe were refunded the $fee, but as per our insurance, the fee should never have been more than $in the first placeWe were fine paying the $copay, which we expected due to being well informed of our insurance benefitsThe insurances covered exams for both contacts and glassesBefore leaving, we were also asked if we wanted to order the frames with VSP and decide later about the contacts with ***.
The issue is not that we did not give both insurance information, the issue is that we were misinformed, but the associates, that you carry contacts covered by *** visionWe would never have made that appointment if we had been correctly informedThis is why we went in person and in advance to fill out the paperwork and discuss the covered benefits.

I am rejecting this response because: I did not receive any type of voucher for FREE glasses also only $39 was refunded and I believe I had spent more then that in their store! When I called the following day no one had any documentation about this email when seeking the free pair of glasses VERY unorganized and unprofessional hard to believe they send out emails and no nothing about them when you call.

Dear Revdex.com:We would like to thank you for apprising us of this customer's situation.  Visionworks is committed to providing excellent customer service, so when a customer feels they have received less than that excellence, we definitely want to know about it so that we make adjustments when and...

where necessary to ensure we continue with our superior track record of success in that and all areas for our customers.  In this particular case, we have been unable to make contact with the customer who has filed the case despite calling and verbally leaving messages with the gentleman who answered at the phone number provided on a few different occasions.  Given that we have not been able to speak with the customer regarding his issue we are unable to comment at length with regards to this particular situation.  As far as his concern regarding the possible cost and charges associated with the 4 lenses, we are not able to discuss that either as we have no idea what type of prescription for lenses he had from his optometrist.  We would very much like to speak with him at length concerning the situation he describes in his case to you so that we may better understand his needs and how best to assist him.  We want all of our customer's to feel welcome and know that we are committed to providing them affordable quality eye wear.  Please let this customer know that we are more than willing to learn more about his particular situation so that we may gain insight as to what transpired and make any necessary changes.  Thank you again for your continued commitment, like ours, to honest and fair business practices.Sincerely,Visionworks

Dear Revdex.com: Thank you for bringing this customer’s concerns toour attention so that we may have the opportunity to address them.  We work very hard to meet or exceed ourpatients’/customers’ satisfaction in providing affordable eye care.  However, once in a while, unexpectedcomplications...

arise which are unfortunate and we try to work them out for ourcustomers’ one at a time.It is our understanding from the customer’sstatement of the problem, she was charged for an item that unfortunately wecould not provide at that time so she was told that she would receive a refundfor $50.00 when she picked up her prescription. The customer states that whenshe went back to the store to pick up her glasses, her refund was not available.The customer then says that she called the store regularly over the next coupleof weeks and was told her refund was still pending. We can understand the customer’s frustrations and ofcourse want to make things right.  In thebeginning, she paid with a check for her glasses and was told that we could getthem ready for her same day.  As itturned out, we did not have the lens she needed in stock and therefore she was goingto have to wait a bit longer for them. To make up for this unexpected delay, we offered to refund her $50, theprice of her upgrade on the lenses. Because she paid with a check, that refund could only come in the formof a corporate check.  Unfortunately, thecheck was never cashed and we can only assume lost in the mail.  We then had to stop payment on the check andthen of course authorized a $50 cash refund which the customer has alreadypicked up from the store.  So, in theend, we were able to get this situation remedied for our customer.While this customer experienced a series ofunexpected events, we are thrilled we were able to resolve the issue and did soin the quickest way possible.  We lookforward to serving this customer in the future again. Sincerely,  Visionworks of America

Dear Revdex.com:  Thank you for letting us know that this customer had additional concerns regarding his case with the Revdex.com and our initial response to situation.  He responded to you, the Revdex.com, on January 23, that he was rejecting our offer as he wanted a full refund of his eye exam as well.  I have taken another look at his case and I see here that we have issued a corporate refund check for his glasses on 12/18/15 in the amount of $454.93.  Additionally, we have issued refunds for exam services, both on 1/18/16 in the amounts of $35.00 and $49.98.  It does take 7-14 days for our corporate office to process these corporate refunds and get the checks sent out to the customer.  However, clearly, as of the date of our response to you and 5 days before his rejection of our response, we have already issued a full refund for every aspect of his visit with us.  If for some reason the customer does not receive his refunds in the next 2 weeks, we welcome him to contact us and we will look into it further.  I have attached copies of each of the 3 transactions indicating the refunds and their dates of issuance.  We trust this clears up any confusion or questions the customer had.Sincerely,Visionworks

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because: As of Aug 16 the company states they refunded me in which they did not I showed a picture of what was refunded and there was never anything sent to me in regards to the free pair of glasses I did speak with someone from the company! They call during my work hours when I called the company back they were unable to assist me! Visionworks need to get their ducks in a row and stop stating untrue statements as to not being able to contact me I wouldn't have to notify the Revdex.com if they were responsive!

Dear Revdex.com:Thank you for apprising us of this customer's situation so that we may have the opportunity to address her issue.  In this case, the customer states that over a year ago she purchased eyewear from us and approximately 6-8 months ago, a coating on the temple of the frame started wearing...

off.  She says this caused a rash to the side of her face and that she subsequently could no longer wear her glasses.  Her desired resolution was to replace her frame.We are pleased to report to you that the Territory Director for this customer's store location reached out to her and her husband to discuss the situation.  After this discussion, it was decided to replace the frame for the customer at no additional charge.  Because it has been more than a year since her last prescription, she understands that she needs to bring a new prescription with her when she comes in for the new frame.  The customer expressed satisfaction with this resolution and will come in to have another exam done and pick the new frame soon.We are glad to have been able to resolve this situation to the customer's satisfaction and look forward to serving her and her family in the future.Sincerely,Visionworks
