They shipped my prescription reversed, then demanded $209 to fix their own error
I ordered Even G2 prescription smart glasses (Order #24479712011, about $1,027). The lenses arrived with the prescription sphere sign flipped -- manufactured farsighted when my prescription is nearsighted -- so I cannot focus through them past about six inches. Completely unusable. Here is the part that turned a simple mistake into a 17-day ordeal: their checkout never actually captured the +/- sign of the prescription -- no required selector, no validation against an impossible entry -- yet they blamed me and refused a refund. Their only "resolution" was to charge me another $209 to remake the lenses they made wrong. I contacted them 13 times and asked for a return label or refund at least nine times between May 21 and June 6. Four different agents replied -- always during China business hours, landing at 1 to 4 AM my time -- each one repeating the same script and hiding behind a "non-returnable" policy that is meant for change-of-mind returns, not products manufactured incorrectly. For context, Even costs more than Meta's Ray-Ban glasses (~$750-950 vs ~$450-600 with prescription), and Meta's current glasses are actually built to handle prescriptions properly. In my experience Even is overpriced, the prescription ordering is defective, and the support is designed to wear you down rather than make things right. I have disputed the charge and filed complaints with the FTC and my state Attorney General. I cannot recommend them.

Hi David, Thank you for sharing your experience. To clarify, prescription glasses are custom-made and are not covered under our standard return policy. However, if a manufacturing error has occurred, we're happy to look into it and make it right. Regarding the prescription sign, our system records the values as entered during checkout. We're sorry if the process wasn't as clear as it could have been, and we'll share your feedback with our team. If you'd like the lenses remade with an updated prescription, we do offer a lens replacement service. We've already reached out to you directly and will continue the conversation there. Best regards, Even Realities Team
