I had an appointment at meeyedoctor in *********. I needed an exam and glasses which my insurance covered. Before the exam they asked if I wanted to pay out of pocket for a special type of eye imaging. I told her "no, I can't afford it today". Then during the exam the doctor asked me again and I said,"no, I cannot afford it today". After the exam to choose glasses I told the lady I could not pay out of pocket and just need what the insurance covers. I received an eye exam for glasses and contacts. I wasn't told ahead of time that the contact lenses (one pair) and exam were going to cost me out of pocket. She wanted me to pay. I did not have the money. So she said she would send it to collections. I asked for a copy of the prescription she said I could get it online and then I remembered the form I signed when I first arrived stated I could have a physical copy. So I told her and she said she'd give me the eyeglass prescription but not the contact lense prescription even though she already stated she was going to send the bill to collections. The manager of the store did that. She was greedy and not nice at all. They were Not compassionate for being in the business of caring for people's eye health. I blessed her and left. So I did not get new glasses and now have to go somewhere else for them. I walked and took the bus for approx. An hour and a half to get to the appointment on time in the snow. I am a student and I have class that starts in a week as well. Also the contacts are not good either. I can't read with them. For my profession of choice I would not be able to wear them either. I need to be able to see well upclose and the contacts they gave me are not efficient. So the contacts I can't even use. And they will try and make me pay or and send to collections to hurt my credit that I've been attempting to build. Anyways so the contact's are useless for me and they should have told me upfront that there would be out of pocket cost. I will never go backBusiness Response

I went for repair twice in the 12 months required to complain. The problem was not fixed. I had to travel and on my return, I went again. The manager denied my complaint because passed 3 days after the year required. However, was less than 12 months after the second time that my lenses went back to be repaired.At this time, I need to explain more clearly the problem that occurs in the assembly of the glasses.Please see the picture attached.The nose framing was incorrectly assembled and the glasses were jumping while I an walking.I need to insert it by hand which is not the solution because happens again all the time. I went to my ****** optic department, they told me that the only one capable of fixing it was the original optic store. There is a very bad location of the small holes to insert the nose framing.Please authorize the store to receive the item to be repaired; I will explain carefully for the optic report. Thank you.Business Response

I have been attempting for months to resolve a bill that is in my mind fraudulent. I was seen and office 7/24 and paid for a small contact order. I on 8/23 I received a bill with no information on what the charges were for and not showing the correct amount I had paid. They showed I paid 49.30 when in fact I paid 93.30, that was reimbursed by my FSA (which is only possible with a valid detailed receipt). I have included the FSA reimbursement form. I have called the billing department as well as the office on 9/21. I was told that the employee made a mistake and that I was double charged for an order in which I already paid for. They would fix it. I called again on 10/16, was told the managers son had Covid and she would call back to follow up with me but the issues had been fixed. I received a new bill with the same information and called my eye dr on 10/7 and 10/18 again told it would be fixed and manager would call back. Recieved another bill from 11/21 this one a final notice with the exact same information on it. Spoke to Susan who stated she was the manager in 11/29, she admitted this was a previous employee mistake and it would be fixed by 12/5. I would have no balance. I called back today in 12/5 at 2 pm and was told the manager would call me back… I have seen how well that has worked for me, so I am now moving on the plan b because I do not want this to go to collections. Thank he bill is so vague that I cannot even get my FSA to pay for this bill because there is no note as to what the balance is for, because there should be no balance. Yet nobody wants to actually help and remove this massive incorrect bill. I have tried to upload the three different copies of the bill along with all of my notes but it would not allow me. Now you have my FSA receipt of payment and the one my eye doctor account statement. I can furnish the other two if needed!Business Response

I received a check from Capital Vision Services (myeyedr) in the amount of $29.00. The memo stated MyEyeDr Insurance Refund. The check was issued over 180 days so I am unable to cash my refund. I called to get this check voided and reissued. Absolutely no one was willing to help and this specific rep ***** kept referring me to my insurance company to reissue a check the provider sent me. I requested a manager multiple times. The issued is still unresolved.Business Response

In August 2023, I visited my local MyEyeDr office in Hamden, CT, for my yearly eye exam. My preferred optician had sold his practice and merged it with MyEyeDr. The exam went fine; I was happy with the process and went to collect my contact prescription. One of the contact lens specialists suggested I purchase the contacts directly from MyEyeDr, and I proceeded with that process. A month and a half passed, and I had not received any contacts or communication from the local office. I spoke with their staff, who promised to investigate the issue. They discovered that the order placed did not entirely go through to the manufacturer and needed to be re-ordered. I was instructed to reach back out if I did not receive the contacts in a week. Nearly two weeks passed by, and I contacted the office again. This time, I was told the contacts were on a two-week backorder. Later, I was told the contacts had moved into indefinite backorder, and I would need to have my prescription adjusted to receive the contacts. They offered a trial lens for me to test, but I asked if they could order the contacts instead.My request was ignored, and the trial was ordered instead. I went to pick up what I thought was an annual supply of contacts and instead received the trial. After discussing this with the staff, I took the trial home and tried them. I discovered the trial led to issues with my vision when using them on the computer for extended periods. I contacted the office, and they told me I must schedule another examination.I told the office I did not want to schedule one as I was not sure my insurance would cover it and asked to have the order of the contact canceled and refunded. My local office refused to refund the order. I now have no contacts, and my insurance will not cover another exam and lens purchase.I would not trust this business for any optician-related needs.Business Response

On 10/18/2022, I paid for contact lenses for both eyes to be delivered to my residence. After never receiving the contact lenses for 2 weeks, I contacted the business and spoke to the manager ******* who told me he would call me back in 2 hours when the store was not so busy - he never contacted me. I called several times over several months to get resolution from ******* who numerous times would promise to contact me again. Finally, in January (3 months later), ******* did look up the contact lenses while I refused to be re-contacted; ******* found out the contact lenses were no longer manufactured by the manufacturer (why were the products sold if they could not be provided???). After some back-and-forth again with the business (in the meantime, ******* left the business), I gave up with depending/trusting on MyEyeDr. I would like the payment I made for the products ($402) refunded to me as the products were never provided.Business Response
