I shipped my frame end of June. I did not hear anything for 10 days. Finally they said to fill out some missing information. I fixed the issue and waited. Two weeks later I still haven't gotten my glasses. I called and she said my glasses were failed for inspection. I finally received a month later. Also I am still disputing with double charges on my credit card. My credit card company said they have not received a reply from Lensabl yet.
I was quoted $375 to replace my high index lenses at LensCrafters. It was significantly cheaper to go through Lensabl and the lenses were much thinner than the previous LensCrafters! Very happy with my purchase and will use them again in the future.
3 points I want to make after a year and a half later post Lensabl order:
1. I had realized at some point that there was a different screw on my glasses and the last time I had taken it in was when I had sent my glasses to get my lens replaced to Lensabl. The friction on one side was loose and I couldn't tell why and it is because they might have lost the original screw and replaced it with one of their own... highly disappointed.
2. When I had placed my order on 12/21/2021, the progress of my lens kept saying it was at the lab for almost a month and that is when I reached out to customer service. They responded and provided me with the incorrect tracking number, and then once I was in contact with them my glasses were finally in progress to be shipped back to me. It seemed as if they forgot to either update the order or ship it out to me when it might have been ready a while ago.
3. I thought my eyesight had gotten worse, but I only had these lens replaced a year and a half ago through Lensabl. I recently went to my local optometrist to get my eyes checked and they noted that the astigmatism on my left lens were off. This whole time my lens I received were not correct and I ensured that the numbers submitted on my end were in fact correct from what was shown on my prescription at the time. Despite whether or not it was my user end error or Lensabl since this order was almost a couple of years ago, I wouldn't recommend. Please find and go to a local optometrist if you are able to. You really get what you pay for!
Took 2 weeks to receive an order that I paid extra for shipping to get in 1-3 days. Customer service took 3 days to reply after emailing to check my order status. Asked about refund on shipping since it didn't arrive within the promised time and haven't heard back from them.
Easy, painless experience! Sent in frames to be made into sunglasses. They are awesome!
My glasses took over one month to come back and I had to call customer service three times to get anyone to look into the matter
Lensabl does what they say. Getting your frames to and from them is mostly easy.; if you need a box, they'll send you a box. They even do fancy progressive lenses and Transitions. Ultimately, I think my glasses are ok, but since they are progressive, I'll have to wear them a little while to be sure.
But - some things need tidying up on the site.
1. their online eye scrip test, if you pay for it, is not added to your "prescriptions" list, which is confusing.
2. they have their own yearly lens plan you can purchase if you like, but they are still considered an out of service provider re: insurance. This is fine, but the site kb page, dated 2018, still says "We are working with insurance carriers to be able to provide this as a payment option."
3. They need "PD" (pupillary distance) as part of your scrip, but this is not mentioned initially. Same for " segmentation height" if you were getting progressive lenses. This requires taking a photo with a card under your nose, which seems easy, but really isn't. Yet after spending quite a bit of time on this, i was informed by customer service that they did not need it. If true, that should be removed from the website.
I love that I can reuse my old frames and give them new life by updating my prescription
I wish the actual page to see the progress of your glasses was accurate as I had no updates for my glasses until it was delivered! But the customer service team reassured they would prioritize my order and understood my worries
RCVD killer OAKLEY frames from Designer Optics- another online site - i shipped them to lensable and let them run with it. Two problems encounterd: 1. Submitting payment on website did not go smoothly and I ended up with 6 seperate order charges (probably my fault, I was using my phone). Lensable unable to refund they only saw one charge. My bank was able to credit the 5 charges back - not a big deal. 2. Prescription was several days in the making. QA failure apparently - no problem I wasn't in a hurry. Glasses are great prescription seems good. Thank you LENSABLE
I was hesitant to order progressive lenses online because even getting my eyes measured in person has resulted in progressive lenses that had to be redone. You did a great job. My lenses are perfect. Thank you!
It took way to long to complete order and no communication during the wait. It took three times longer to get them than it took to get new glasses from Warby Parker.
Slow but delivered as advertised…………………………………………….
Overall good experience, and I think I would use Lensabl again. However, the lens, which I got based on recommendation by the customer service, are thicker than what I expected. I wish the customer service could have recommended something fit my needs more.
I sent a pair of frames and my prescription and in a few weeks I had a great pair of eyeglasses with transition lenses. I wil use Lensabl again!
I love lensabl because I can avoid the overpriced glasses at the doctor. Find the frames you want on ebay and you can get glasses at a quarter of the price vs the Dr's office.
I bought a pair of glasses while in Paris. When I got home I re-tested my eyes for a new Rx.
I sent both to you, they came back un-wearable (the Rx was so wrong in the lenses). I sent them back, they came back better, but they are progressives and when I look down it's very distorted.
I mostly wear them (and all my glasses) for driving and long-distance vision, so I am tolerating them.
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!
