Was made an offer then priced changed at the last minute. At time of exam I was asked my brand of contact lenses I preferred and wanted and was given something different.

All my glasses have always been transition lenses. That should definitely be on your records. I returned to buy 2 more glasses at my cost. Only one was transitions, so I had to wait another week and a half for something that should not have happened. He had my history pulled up. I'm just disappointed I had to wait again for the other set. But I've never had an issue with your store before. That store's customer experience is normally phenomenal
