Progressive Glasses Made with a Default PD – Disappointing Customer Servic
I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel other customers should be aware of my experience. I ordered a pair of progressive prescription glasses from Lensmart and uploaded my prescription as requested. At no stage during the ordering process was I asked to provide my Pupillary Distance (PD), which is essential for manufacturing progressive lenses correctly. The website accepted my order and payment without requesting this information. When the glasses arrived, they were unusable. After contacting customer service, they confirmed that they had manufactured the lenses using a default international PD rather than my actual measurement. They also acknowledged that a difference in PD can affect visual clarity and the wearing experience. Instead of taking responsibility for an ordering process that allowed the purchase to go ahead without an essential measurement, they repeatedly sent template responses stating that my prescription did not include a PD and offered only one solution: pay an additional US$76 (later reduced by 20%) to have the lenses remade. By this point, I had already been forced to buy another pair of prescription glasses from a local optician at considerable expense because I needed glasses I could actually wear. What disappointed me most was not the mistake itself, but the complete lack of customer care. Despite numerous emails, no one addressed my main concern: if a PD is essential for progressive lenses, why was I never asked for it before my order was accepted? Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Lensmart. If you are ordering progressive lenses, make absolutely sure every measurement has been requested before placing your order, as you may otherwise end up paying twice.
