I had an absolutely terrible experience…
I Have been asked to submit an edited review repeatedly. This company has lied in their response. My original frame was in PERFECT condition. The only issue was. Broken arm needing to be screwed back on. After getting an outrageous estimate to fix, I asked them to return my glasses (a gift from my91 year old Mom) and all of a sudden they could not find my original glasses. They sent a. 42.00 replacement for a 400.00 pair of sunglasses (Maui Jim) I repeat, read all the other horrible reviews and BEWARE!!!!! I had an absolutely terrible experience with Eye Glass Repair in New Jersey. I sent them my sunglasses for repair, and instead of returning my original glasses, they tried to pass off a completely different pair with my lenses shoved into them. When I confronted them, they first insisted they had sent my original glasses back, but then admitted they had not—and even admitted they didn’t know if they still had them. To prove my case, I even sent them a picture of me wearing my original glasses. After that, I never heard from them again. Complete frauds. This business is dishonest, misleading, and untrustworthy. Based on my experience, I would strongly caution anyone against sending their glasses here. Update after company reply: Their reply is a complete lie. The face of my glasses was in perfect condition. 1 arm was broken only. When I asked for my glasses back, they said they did not know what happened to them; they must have discarded. This was after changing their story a minimum of 5 times. They NEVER asked for permission to discard. BEWARE of this company.

Dear Elyse, We’re sorry to hear about your disappointment, but we want to clarify exactly what occurred with your repair. When we received your Maui Jim sunglasses, the damage was not limited to the arm alone. The face (front) of the frame where the arm connects was also compromised, which made it impossible to simply reattach the arm. In these cases, as part of standard repair practice, the solution is to replace the damaged frame with the exact same model and color and then professionally transfer the customer’s original lenses into it. This ensures your eyewear remains authentic, functional, and wearable. To be very clear: Your original lenses were preserved and installed in the replacement frame. The replacement was the same Maui Jim model number and color as your original frame — not a random or cheaper substitute. At no point did we discard or keep your eyewear without authorization. This is how the eyewear repair business works industry-wide: when a frame front cannot be repaired, it is replaced so that the customer can continue using their lenses in the same model frame. We understand that eyewear can carry great personal and sentimental value, and we regret that this process may not have been fully clear from the beginning. However, we assure you there was no deception involved — only a professional repair using the exact matching frame to restore your glasses. We are more than willing to share supporting photos and documentation of the process, and we invite you once again to contact us directly at [your contact info] so we can work toward a resolution that gives you peace of mind. Sincerely, EyeglassesDepot Inc. www.eyeglassesdepot.com
