Scratches Lenses:
In my experience, this shop dispenses lenses that are made correctly, which is good considering that not all shops do.
The owner adjusts frames well even though he seems a little irritated when it takes more than a few attempts.
Here's the issue. After he works on the glasses, he grabs a tissue and rubs it into the lenses very hard to clean them. He does this multiple times.
If the tissue does not scratch the lens, it can drag dust or anything on the lens across the surface and leave scratches.
He left a scratch on my lens. I tried to talk to him, but he would have none of it.
Eek! Well-made lenses and good adjustments aren't worth jack to me if the owner scratches the lenses when I visit.
I'm looking into an online vendor. I'm looking into and will give them a shot soon. Online vendors charge less for the same lenses and frames. One needs to be able to adjust the frames oneself, but there is info online about how to do this.
Online vendors also offer better return policies than optical shops. Of course, one wants to research the online vendor first. Google it. Call in a few times with questions. Check out the website.
Here's a link to a Youtube search. The search offers results that show how to adjust all kinds of frames.
