I was not expecting the lens installment to be so quick, and the final product is great! I did some online shopping before ordering and RLE turned out to have the best value. Stephanie responded to my emails quickly and took the time to make sure I was satisfied with my glasses.

Lovely staff, great products
Lovely staff. Enjoyed working with the team at RLE! They didn't have the Ray-Bans that I wanted in-stock, so they called and suggested a few other models. I picked out a similar one and had my new prescription lenses (progressives - ahh!) installed the same week. Great vision and clarity, great fashion!

Bent sunglasses and stopped replying to e-mails
I sent my eyeglasses and sunglasses frames for new lenses. The eyeglass lenses were perfect and had no issues; but the sunglasses were bent due to the lenses being misshaped. RLE offered to fix the frames, but being in CA the order took 2 weeks to be completed and so had it fixed locally. The lenses would not work without bending the frames and RLE stopped replying to my e-mails.

Don't put yourself through this...
I have ordered five pairs of lenses with RLE and it has been, frankly, nothing but disappointment. The prices are great and I really, really want to like these guys, for sure, but nearly everything else about this company is lackluster at best. Their website advertises that you'll get your lenses back in 3-6 days! LOLMFAO! Try 3-6 WEEKS. They run promotions for discounts for buying multiple lenses but it's pulling teeth to actually get them to refund. My first two pairs of glasses were good quality but my last were impossible to see close up and gave me headaches after a long day on the computer. The service reps are about as helpful as a bad cough...

They accepted my order and charged my…
They accepted my order and charged my card. Then they decided my prescription was too high so they cancelled my order. But they did not actually tell me this, so then I spent $10 mailing them my frames. They should clearly state on their website what prescriptions are accepted before you enter your order.

Lense out of stock, no refund
I bought some lenses that their website said we're in stock. After not hearing from the company for 2 weeks I emailed to confirm that my order has gone through as my credit card was charged. They immediately replied saying the lenses were out of stock and a refund would be given to me. I thanked them and moved on. After a week or so of the refund not showing on my credit card I emailed back asking if the refund had been processed. They replied immediately and said the refund should show up on my credit card in 2 days. 2 days went by and no refund so I emailed them again. No reply.
They take your money without sending you lenses, then refuse to give you a refund.
EDIT: Here is the email exchange I've had with them. And I also filed a complaint through the BBB.

Hi,
Can you please confirm that an order I placed on 8/8/19 went through? I ordered replacement lenses for a pair of Ray Ban sunglasses for a total of charge of $80.80. The details I remember submitting on the online form are:
RB 3342, polarized , lens color of 004/58.
I understand it would take about 2 weeks to receive the replacement lenses, but I confirmation that my order was submitted and the lenses were ordered.

Good morning. I was told the refund was processed 2 weeks ago and again that the refund would go through by yesterday. The refund of $80.80 has not gone through. Is there a phone number I can call or someone in another department I should contact?
Edit 2:
After emailing them everyday after they stopped replying (no response yet), contacting them on Twitter everyday (no response yet), filing a complaint through the Better Business Bureau, and disputing the charge through my bank (Chase was great), I finally got a refund.
This company will take your money without providing a product. I ended up going with Revant Optics for my replacement lenses. The lenses I ordered through them arrived within a week. I highly recommend them.

Fully satisfied New Yorker
Great experience! My myopia has improved which demands a stronger reading prescription. The lens size in the frame I chose was not tall enough. Replacement Lens redid the order in one of my older frames no charge and I donated the other frame and Replacement Lens suggested they donate the pair that didn't work for me to charity. Smart move. A win win. They are now updating a third pair of smaller frames for me with single vision lenses for distance only. Not every frame works well with strong progressives. Best customer service!
