The first pairs of glasses Advanced Optometry Center made for me had several issues. My eyelashes touched the lenses because of how AOC had specified the shape of the lenses. The pairs of lenses also had faint digital markings on them that were not supposed to be there. Both of these things went unnoticed by AOC staff and I informed AOC on a subsequent visit. AOC was able to understand the errors and remade the lenses. They came back with two problems fixed but my vision was still not clear.\r

I described the problem as can see well straight ahead but looking off center gets blurry. Using a computer was impossible. I could not wear the glasses more than 2hrs and I found it dangerous to drive with them but all AOC could tell me is that my eyes needed to adjust. I went to Advanced Optometry Center no less than 5 times and the net result was that my new glasses continued to cause headaches, eyestrain, and distorted vision. I put the $800 glasses back in their Giorgio Armani and Penguin cases and sadly reverted back to my pre-AOC glasses for daily use...\r

...To my delight, at my next eye exam I discovered the simple problem with my AOC glasses with the help of my new optometry office (I chose a higher quality optemetry provider). The technician at the new office was quickly able to determine the problem with my glasses - the optical center of the lenses was too low. To confirm this I raised the glasses straight up and walla! problem solved! I called AOC and presented this information. AOC wanted to charge me to fix a problem they should have been able to identify and were not willing to make good on products I paid $800 for. I had my new optometrist remake lenses for Geiogio Armani and Penguin frames - with corrected optical centers - and they work great now. I used them to type this review.
