My mum had gotten a few free glasses coupons from somewhere, and we went to OPSM for those free glasses instead of Specsavers since they only work there. A week later after an appointment we got a message to come get them, and as soon as I put mine on. I was seeing red and blue edging around words, letters, objects, everything. Like shitty 3D glasses. But I ignored it, figuring I was overreacting.Turns out, they ended up somehow accidentally giving me the expensive lenses, instead of the standard ones. The damn lenses made me feel off-balance, felt I somehow had a fish bowl on my head, almost drunk or high (unable to walk properly) and made my eyes and head hurt. My mum ended up calling them, and they had the gall for me to continue wearing them, and “get used to it/them.” I’m not wearing them, spoiler alert. They’re apparently working on actually giving me the appropriate lenses, but so far I’ve heard of nothing.If you value not maybe accidentally getting wrong lenses, and having access to cheaper and more affordable frames, just go to Specsavers, from my experience.Edit (10/02): My mom got them, and there’s a disconnect between what the woman in the store, and what the one over the phone said.Phone lady said: “These are expensive (400/500 AUD, iirc) lenses.” The in-store lady?: “Those are lenses for kids/children (around 0-22, maybe)” so there’s a disconnect.And a gross and absolute lack of professionalism. I’m not planning on going back to that Parabanks store if I can help it.
