I followed all of the steps and sent in my frames, checked the website to see if they were received, they were, and I was excited to await how they'd turn out. Unfortunately, after waiting some time for an update on their website, I wrote in and they let me know they did not have my glasses. Turns out the lab had lost or misplaced them because they had been scanned in and received. I had to provide images of the frames and was eventually updated that they found the glasses.
Then I proceeded to wait again, and after some time, I moved addresses so I updated my delivery address on their website and this showed up as successful. 5 or 6 days later I again emailed them to see where the glasses were, and asked to confirm the change of address. I received a very curt response stating "Order got picked up already." After asking them to clarify they explained the glasses had already shipped to the old address. So my address change, which said it was confirmed, never actually went through.
The website does not provide updates. The email chains they send are inaccurate, and the customer service rep could barely be bothered. This service cost me a few hundred dollars and I still do not have my glasses. Maybe they'll turn up ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'm not confident. Also not confident that if they do turn up, they'll be well made. Save your money, go to a traditional brick and mortar. This was not a good time.
I sent in some store bought Kate Spade sunglasses and had them put in my prescription. Lovely people to work with and they deliver a quality product. I WILL be back.
Not the right lens for my frames provided a scrip and my old glasses for dp value
What i received was something that doesn't make sense
Advise return and correct problems
The reading area on my progressive lenses is too small to allow both eyes to focus at the same time. It feels like somebody is providing me with a cruel challenge.
He process was easy, step by step guidance along the way and quick turnaround.
My glasses seems brand new and the lenses are perfect, more than expected.
Extremely happy with everything!
Lensabl hooked me up with blue light blocking lenses in frames I already owned. Sending my frames in and subsequently receiving them back was a very smooth process; thank you Lensabl!
I love the feed back though out the process. My order had a few changes along the way with the RX end of it. But they solved all issues. Great experience.
Order process was easy. I didn't receive what I wanted and the process of getting it resolved is slow. Hoping I haven't wasted my hard earned money. Waiting for a resolution.
Easy online process and shipping. The glasses came back in a nice case with a cleaning kit. The lenses are perfect and I can't wait to wear them. Would highly recommend
My order was delayed (it took a month and a half to receive my glasses back) due to multiple lab rejections. The lenses are good quality, though, I just received them.
Very easy process, and there is no difference in wearing the Lensabl glasses or the ones from the eye doctor other than hundreds of dollars in savings. Will definitely use again!
Received my frames with a fresh new case and cleaner. The lenses are so clear and no glare you almost can't tell they are there. Very satisfied and will order more.
Ordering was easy, prices were fair and the prescription lenses are just right. I was worried about the mail order process with distance measurements and all, but it turned out perfectly.
This is my second large order with Lensabl. My first experience was great and was a few years ago. I was able to update a few favorite frames as well as some new frames that I had purchased on eBay. This latest order was a similar context, I had found frames online from various resellers that were either unique or rare. I have a great experience ordering, inputting my information and paying. Where things started to become frustrating was the delays in production of my lens order. After several weeks after Lensabl was in possession of my frames, the message in my customer order portal was that the glasses had failed quality control, and would be sent out in approximately 3 days while they were expedited. I waited a week and still no progress. The only saving grace was your customer service communication and responses provided by Ann from the customer care team when I had to trick the app by using a change my address response option. As a 35 year retail exec I would look into providing better response options to the production process. Whether it be alerts that delays could be possible during peak times as an order is being started. Considering it took exactly a month to get my order completed from my frames arriving at your facility, it would help put expectations in realistic terms of how long it will actually take.
I am in the end happy with the resulting product, but reluctant to wait that long again for your product unless the process is improved.
I had first ordered and was told I would have to ship my frames in, so that made me want to cancel. Then I was told I that we wouldn't have to since you said you have the frames. So I get the lenses and I was siked to put them on my frames but unfortunately they didn't fit flush so I couldn't screw the frame to hold the lenses. As of right now i don't know what to do.
I requested a 10x28mm segment trifocal after being told by a salesperson that it was available. After being reassured that the 10x28mm lenses would be made, I purchased them. A substitution was made (7x28mm) without contacting me first. I did not want the 7x28mm and received a refund. It would have been MUCH simpler and faster if I had been contacted about a substitution before the lenses were made and shipped to me.
I was frustrated by the lack of proactive communication from Lensabl, the excessive amount of time it took to make and deliver my glasses and the quality of the lenses (progressives).
After hearing nothing from Lensabl for 10 days after placing my order I contacted them to get a status update. I learned another photo was needed for accurate measurements. How come they didn't contact me first? Later I learned - after looking for another status update - the lenses had to be remade due to a quality inspection issue. Fine. I get it. Stuff happens and I want the glasses to be right. When they finally arrived I was disappointed and returned them for a remake. Once again the new lenses were rejected during a quality inspection. I finally got them and they're ok. I have some issues with reading clarity but I'm not going to return them again. They're a spare pair and I'll deal with the problem for a short term if my everyday glasses are unavailable.
I would have had my glasses much faster and without all the back and forth if I had purchased this pair from my doctor's eye center or a National chain. Would I have paid more? Yes. Gladly.
I am returning customer and Lensabi always does great work, any issues with my order are always resolved to my satisfaction.
Took longer than expected to receive, but the specs are fab.
These lenses are better than the original ones from visionworks!
Answer: I was not so lucky and have had a horrible experience withLensabl. After two months I'm still waiting for progressive lenses that cost over $600 and Neither my frames nor the lenses I ordered are back to me. Next time I will use a local eyewear store.
Answer: They falsely boosted about putting new lenses in existing frames (in a very short turn around like a week) not the 8 months it's been
Answer: Once your frames arrive at our lab, assuming you've provided all required Rx information, lens production is 4-7 business days on average before shipping
Answer: I purchased some really awesome vintage glasses with octagonal black plastic frames made in France, probably from the late 1960s or early 1970s. I was so excited to have them made into sunglasses. I took them to my local optical shop and was told, "I hope you didn't spend much on these because you wasted your money. No one will touch frames this old, because the plastic is so brittle it will just shatter." I was so disappointed. I tossed them in a drawer and forgot about them for a few months. Then I saw an ad for Lensabl online. I contacted them and asked if they could work with vintage frames, and the answer was "No problem!" I was nervous to send the frames in but figured I didn't have anything to lose. I just received the glasses back in the mail today (two weeks from when I mailed them in), and they are incredible! The frames were cleaned and straightened, and the new lenses are perfect. I love them so much. Thanks, Lensabl!
Answer: They clearly don't have the infrastructure set up to be in this business where each frame is a customer order. In cases like they they are not staffed with customer services that can be actually helpful which only result in wrongly made glasses. They broke my glasses and are not trying to it at all. I posted review on here before and then it just disappeared for some reason, I'm not sure if they are paying people to get rid of negative reviews.
Answer: Transitions take an upwards of 30 seconds to Transition. The weather conditions can impact the Transition time. Brighter and warmer outside conditions= transitions faster.
Answer: I am having the same experience. Took my money, lost my frames and have done nothing on refund nor damages. I filed with BBB as well. Why are they still in business is a surprise to me?How many more consumers do they need to harm before they are fined and/or shut down?
Answer: All prices are in USD ($) but we do ship to Canada as well :)
Answer: Yes all of our lenses are guaranteed or we will re-make them if any issues once you receive them back. Thanks!
