I began my adventure with America's Worst back when they advertised glasses or contacts for $39. I signed up for the 5 year plan which was instrumental in getting me contacts for a good price, but that's where the good times end. The exams are a joke... I wasn't even sure if they qualify as exams. Can we say "herd mentality." It's like get 'em in, get 'em out. Then that extra $10 charge for that puff in the eye (glaucoma?) test, that is such a crock.
Half the time the people don't have their acts together, I get one price for one (I wear color contacts) and then one price from someone else. EVERY single time I have ordered replacement contacts, the 2 weeks they promised has ALWAYS been over a month (no lie). It's like I've gotten used to bad treatment... I kept going back! Unbelievable! And what's with the high turnover rate. I swear there is always a whole new crew of people every time I come in for those joke exams. I have never had an eye exam that took all of 10 minutes. How do you thoroughly check someones eyes in 10 minutes?
I finally got tired and asked for my prescription so I could go elsewhere. I was told that they couldn't give me the prescription for contacts but they could for glasses (what!??!). One time I asked if they could ship the contacts directly to me... I was told that it would be a $10 charge. I said, let me get this straight, if it comes to you and I drive out of my way to pick it up, it's free (now mind you, they have to ship it somewhere), but if it's shipped to me, it costs? She "went to check on it" and came back and said it could be shipped to me for no charge... Which now that I think of it, seems funny that the one other time I asked (back when the price was $39, remember?), I was told that they had to dispense it from the office. Hmmm, why? All I do is pick it up, it's not like they have to watch me put the contacts in. And don't let me get started on the 2 glasses for $59... That is a joke... Those frames are the ugliest ones I have seen in life. Guaranteed to get you tagged as a nerd.
I have never been to a place like AmerBeast (you get the picture). I have switched to another eye care place and have received the BEST treatment. I think America's Best should be shut down. They are the worst.
