NO EYE COVERINGS LAB
I have NEVER in my 50yrs had problems getting my eyewear prescriptions until now! The Jacksonville, FL location in River City are THE most horrible horrible eyewear place I have EVER visited for EYE services. When you walk through the doors they do not acknowledge you, there were three ladies sitting in there doing nothing! There were one guest looking at glasses, no one assisting them neither! After me two more guests came in. ONLY then 1 of the ladies decided to ask how can she help. They all seemed to not want to be at work! I advised why I was there & the Ins I carried! Mind you, I made an appointment the day before to come in for an eye appointment! They were too lazy to check! After completing my paperwork, the gal sends me to the back to complete the eye exam....I had my old contacts lenses in my eyes, she advises me that they do not have eye solution, they ran out nor cases to store them for the eye exam. Just so happen I brung my own because I’m used to the routine of getting contacts & glasses! She told me there was no Dr in person to do the exam and that the machine and a machine will be doing all of the work for my exam! I forgot to mention, They had us all waiting one chair between us because of social distancing! So Finally I got called into a room where there was a lady on the screen to help complete the eye exam, it went pretty fast and well! They sent me back out into the lobby. After the exam, the lady who guided me to & throughout the exam told me that someone else would help me as she only set folks up for the exam! When I went back out into the lobby, no one would still help me! This was and still beginning to look like a long day of Optical Services! They weren’t communicating what are your next steps as I Went! When I went back out into the lobby, the girl was helping me left. When I asked the other girls for help, they told me the girl helping me before was the only one that could me. 30 mins later she returned...she advised me she was not feeling well, not wearing a mask by the way! ( I kept mine on tight, as I was getting ready to walk out as I don’t play those type of games with this COVID being as bad as it is!) As I said 30 mins later the lady returned who we’re supposed to help me said she had to leave & Go to get a prescription & go to the bank! She advised me that she was also pregnant! We talked more about her & her problems than my glasses! This location is not respectful of folks time or anything! So Finally, she started talking numbers, asked if I picked some glasses out! I had picked three pairs, trying to be patient with this lady! The lie to you about the costs, told me it will be almost $400 for my glasses just kept adding stuff onto the costs, she presented her skills as unskillful! Then advised it will be $75 on a discount for my exam! They also don’t understand Insurance cost affective ness! The numbers and costs were no where near the special costs they advertised! I call this false advertising! they portrayed something different of a desperate business to take advantage of hard working people! Finally I told her, I’m just going to do the contacts. She ordered my trial pair! She told me it would take only 3 days at the most and she would call me! That didn’t happen! After that day it turned Into weeks. I started calling the following week. When I called, the girl on the line advise they hadn’t come in. I called about four times when I called one day to be advised they still were not received! A few hours later, I Finally got a call in the same day, that she advised they didn’t have them,that they were in! I went to pick them up, the girl couldn’t find them! This place is so a joke & so darn unorganized! Finally I talked to the manager , she found them! I advised her of ALL the issues I had experienced at this place! The ONLY thing she told me was that she would follow up with me after I try the trial pair! Again, she advised they still didn’t have any solution nor cases for me to try them on at this site! SMH That let me know they must know they weren’t going to be accurate! When I tried the contacts on the next day at home....they were wrong....I couldn’t see nothing out of them. I couldn’t see my hands feet or anything out of them! I thought maybe they switched them, put left & right on the wrong contact....NOT!!!! The prescription is WRONG! Wrong! And MORE WRONG!!!! Ridiculous! How do this place stay in business? The customer service is horrible as well! I’ve try to call in they were SO rude & mean as snakes! I want my $75 back they charged for my exam!!! PERIOD.........#bbb #myeyelab #eyelab
