My current pair of prescription glasses from lens Crafters seem to be performing at 1/4-1/3 the level that previous purchases from the same outlet. I usually replace glasses every 4-5 years, and I am told the current pair of glasses use the exact same material as the last pair.
Yet, the amount of scratches on the current pair are the equivalent to what I'd expect after 2.5-3 years of use--except these are less than six months old. I've already had them replace the lenses once, but they will not do it again.
First, Lens Crafters suggested I change the way I clean the classes. Ok, but if my current method of cleaning didn't have this accelerated effect on my last pair of glasses using the exact same material ...
Still, using their method made not one bit of difference. And the cynical me has to wonder if this is how Lens Crafters is handling their economic situation by insuring the lenses becomes unusable at a much quicker rate.
At this point, I will not be using Lens Shafters (ahem, Crafters) again. I've been wearing prescription eyewear since I was five years old (now 45), and I know when something unusual is about in the glasses I'm wearing.
Anyone else seem to think something drastically has changed, and in a negative for the consumer? What good is an anti-scratch coating is mild cleaning, even using the Shafter's method, means scratches will occur and quickly.
