[QUOTE="emotionallybankrupt, post: 371566, member: 8226"] The good news is that I THINK my new glasses are okay. But the wicked witch took away my back up lenses and wouldn't give them back. I'm so angry. I explained that they had messed up and thrown away my GOOD old lenses within a few hours after I picked up the new last week, putting me in quite a bind. I had even called within hours after getting the bad set, explaining that I had a problem, and they said they would call back and did not. When I then called the next morning, they said they had already tossed them and it was a lost cause. So, I put together a hybrid back-up set to get by until we could get the problem fixed. The guy I talked to that day told me that they would have been GLAD to have given me the old lenses if only I had asked. So...I had no idea what I was stepping into today, when I went to pick up the corrected version. I had to leave my glasses with them for a couple hours so that they could switch things out. No problem. I had brought my old SINGLE VISION glasses so I could get around while I waited. Also in my purse was my daughter's glasses, as she was getting replacement lenses as well. Plus my sunglass clips. I felt like a walking optical dispensary myself, and I did not bring with me the defective set. Big problem. When I returned for pick-up, I asked for the lenses they took out, and I was told I could not have them. That they would be returning them for some type of "credit." I was stunned. I explained that what they were taking did not even include the defective lense, that instead they were taking the only glasses I could use to read. I told her what the other guy had told me, that keeping old lenses was no problem, and she simply said he was wrong. The guy heard the conversation and slithered away like a worm. Meanwhile, wicked witch dropped my lenses into a ziploc bag and said she would keep them for me. I said, "But you might lose them. The others were thrown away." She wouldn't budge.
