Yep. Got new glasses, then got terrible headaches. I took them back to a different place in the same company (closer to work rather than home this time) and they re-checked my eyes and found that the prescription I was given was totally wrong (bifocal lenses when I really only needed single vision ones!). There were no problems at all in getting them fixed up.
Definitely go back - it's not worth screwing around with headaches and not feeling/seeing right. And I've also been reminded that I'm seriously overdue for an eye test!
My DH got prescription safety glasses made, and they just made him feel dizzy. He took them back and they checked them out and said that the focal point was incorrect. They remade the glasses and still he had trouble with them. He took them back again, and there were no problems. They suggested he have a full refund as they couldn't quite get it right for him. They were very willing to help and never made him feel bad.
My aunty took hers back after 2 months & found out they had given her the wrong prescription. But they charged her for new lenses & the eye test. I think it was a small shop though that she had been going to since she was a teenager
I did. My glasses were suppose to be for driving. They actually made my vision worse at night and I nearly had an accident. I took them back and had my eyes tested somewhere else who said I had perfect vision!
i've had goggles all my life (well, all but about 11 months) and have taken several sets back, even as a kid! i knew when things weren't right - and i would always make sure they were right - headaches just make things so much worse. i've even taken contact lenses back
i know that some of the chain stores can be a bit more exxy, but i love the fact that the shop i go to has my whole history of glasses. i love that, when i was living interstate and lost a contact lens, they could call up the script in another store. and i LOVE that they are great with helping to swap lenses when i'm not happy with them!
