              Answered
              Purchased new pair of glasses on 6/19/24. Received glasses on 6/24/24 and left the store. Vision not clear. After close examination, lenses discovered to be rotated. Progressive horizontal indicators obviously not horizontal, slant is the same on each lens. Most likely cause, frames not placed in tracer correctly. I know what I'm talking about; I used to run an optical lab. I made 10s of thousand pairs of glasses. Had glasses examined at my eye doctor's ******* the licensed optician there concurred that the lenses are rotated. Returned to place of purchase. "Manager" (same person who sold me the glasses) determined nothing to be wrong with glasses, refused to remake. While looking at the invoice to get the order number just now, I noticed I was charged $35 for "eyeglass protection plan". I was never asked about this, nor agreed to this, nor would have agreed to this had I been asked. Before seeing this $35 charge I just wanted what I paid for. Now, I want a full refund. I will return the glasses to the store upon receiving said refund.
