Okay MTs, here's the deal need your opinions please . . . Made an appointment at American's Best that 2 pairs of glasses for $69.95 deal – bad experience all around! Glasses ended up costing me over $250.00! When I picked them up one pair was broken! They fixed on the spot – I took them home – cannot wear either pair, as they give me a headache. I had a feeling they wouldn't be right because the eye doctor came off as a complete ***** to me. First off he tried to tell me there were special contract lens that would allow me to and I quote "see my dreams clearly." Okay – dreams are a brain function. You do not need prescription eye wear to see dreams! And in my opinion he violated HIPAA. While I was in the waiting area between testing for field vision etc. He informed me in front of others waiting in that same area of my tests results. My results are my business not any other patients in the waiting room. Anyway, I returned today to return the glasses for my money back – they advertise a 30-day return. They gave me nothing but grief. Only refunded me for $147.00 when I paid over $200.00 plus I had to pay for that advertised free eye exam (which I understand since I didn't want glasses I cannot wear). I’m livid. I'm still out $103.00, plus I'm sure the eye exam money is basically wasted because the flipping ****** didn't do the prescription right. Both glasses were supposed to be the same prescription yet one pair I could see distance somewhat okay, but got headaches/dizzy – the other pair – useless couldn't see period! I paid extra for coatings for anti-glare that I don't believe were done. Please don't go there – save yourself a major headache. Others were in the same store when I was trying to get my money back for the same reasons. Anyway – long story short – did the eye doctor violate HIPAA in your opinions? My tests were okay – but that was my business. And if you believe he violated me . . . where do I report him? I’m sick of being taken advantage of by places like this. Thanks. I'm sorry if there are any errors in my typing – I'm livid. Oh—did I mention when he dilated my eyes (3 drops) they stayed that way not for hours but entire day! My eyes burned and I wasn't "back to normal" for a week. I'm furious.  |
