Help answer the question about Lens Bundle
Can I expect replacement lined bifocals at no extra cost if I cannot adapt to blended lens eyeglasses?
When I purchased my blended bifocal eyeglasses the optician offered a choice between lined bifocals and progressive lens bifocals. I was told that if I were unable to adapt to progressive lenses that they would replace them with lined bifocals at no extra cost- no refund either. I ended up purchasing blended bifocals, a different type of no line bifocal. I find I am unable to adapt to the blended lenses Lens Bundle that cost 374.00 including the non-glare coating. I cannot do my job while wearing them (studio art professor) and feel unsafe on stairs and driving. When I tried to return them to the optician and set up an exchange for lined bifocals, I was told to come back in to their office next week to "discuss my options" when the lady in charge was there. I didn't get the feeling that this was going to go smoothly. I would have thought that any lens requiring adjustment would have an exchange policy. Now I am afraid I am going to be out a lot of money. Any ideas what the typical experience is with exchanging blended lens eyeglasses for a pair of lined bifocals? Do I have to repurchase the expensive non-glare coating? If so, I'll end up paying a bundle just for a common pair of lined bifocals. This is not a matter of taste- I think I will end up injured if I have to wear these blended no line bifocals; I can't function in them and am not able to wear them. Put plainly, I can't see with them on.
