Love shopping on your site. Tons of styles to choose from. Lots of ways to filter my searches to help pin point the frames that meet my exact needs and wants. Prices are awesome. I just ordered a pair of Transition glasses for less than a plain pair of progressives with plastic lenses with clearance frames at the eye Dr’s and that was with insurance coverage being applied. I can’t use my insurance on your site so it’s all out of pocket and it was cheaper and I got better glasses and frames. This is like my 5th or 6th pair of glasses I have purchased from you. However, I have 3 complaints. One is when doing a filtered search, once you click on a frame to look at, to then hit the back button to go back to the filtered search, it always brings you straight up to the beginning. Even if you have hit the show more several times. It would be nice if it brought you right back to where you were so you could just continue searching. 2nd complaint is please try to add more try ons to more frames. Even just one of the colors is fine because you can at least see if the size and shape will look ok on you. 3rd complaint, please remove your retired colors from the frame pages. They are no longer available, they aren’t coming back, they are just in the way and can be confusing if you look quick and see a color you like to then find out it’s retired. Or you open a frame and there are 7 colors but all but 1 is retired. Just remove them. Otherwise, love shopping with you. I will keep coming back every time I need new glasses!!!

We love hearing that Payne has become your go-to for glasses, and we especially appreciate how thoughtfully you explained the areas where the shopping experience could be better. Being returned to your place in filtered results, expanding Virtual Try-On availability, and making retired color options clearer are all valuable feedback for our team. We’re always working to make finding the right pair easier, and detailed input like this helps us understand where the friction really is. We’re glad you’ll be back—and we hope to make that next shopping trip even smoother.

Fast delivery on three pairs. Supposed to be transitions lens. Only one pair responded and turned dark under uv. Have ordered from Payne for six years or longer. I ordered my friend a pair and she said it was the first pair she'd ever had that worked with her computer work.
Response from Payne Glasses LLCAug 25, 2026
We’re glad the three pairs arrived quickly! One thing to keep in mind with photochromic lenses is that they’re designed to reach around a Level 3 tint in direct sunlight, rather than the Level 4 darkness of a traditional sunglass. They’re activated by UV light, so they will not darken inside the car because the windshield blocks the UV needed to activate them. Cloud cover and other outdoor conditions can also affect how dark they become, and the lenses need a few minutes to fully darken and gradually return to clear once you move indoors. If you’ve tested the lenses outdoors in direct sunlight and still feel two of the pairs aren’t performing as expected, please reach out to us at [email protected] and we’ll be happy to take a closer look. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

Sonsimce this review they finally communicated alot better and the replacements are on the way. If it wasmt for the communication issues this would have been a great experience. In the end they came through though. New glasses will be here this week. So I have moved my stars up to 4 Trying to get someone to communicate consistently with you is impossible. 20 hours between emails and no one will help over the phone and never got a answer to my text. Good luck to you future customers of Payne Glasses
