Ordering process is cumbersome and not user friendly. Pricing is reasonable and turn-around time is as well.

Double check for add-ons
I don’t like the add-ons that you have to click to cancel. I don’t want add-ons. Just plain boring glasses that I’ll I want.

So good so far.
The website was easy to navigate and the process was quick in moving through the steps to order.
The next step is to see eye glass (every day and sunglass) clarity over the next year.
The last online eyewear provider sunglass lenses became milky, filmy, and optical clarity degraded within a few months. I hope Payne Glasses will have good clarity for years to come.

That I could load a photo of my prescription is a game changer. The understanding of my questions when I called was amazing. I wish I had gotten his name. He also pointed out the difference from my last prescription which I hadn't mentioned. I had cataract surgery. Great site, great customer service, I will be back. Thank you. EM

Getting the right guidance when you have questions can make all the difference. We're glad our team was able to help explain the changes in your prescription, and we'll be sure to share your kind words. Thank you for your trust in Payne.
I will say this
I will say this. In the beginning everything seems fine as you are going through the ordering process. However the moment you ask why things are taking long with the order they get upset and just cancel orders. Could be a blessing in disguise. If this is how they treat customers during the order I can only imagine after the order.

I love this company
I love this company. I bet I have ordered 30 or more pairs of glasses through the years. They stand behind their glasses, always there to help and make sure they fit right, lenses are right. Prices are the best. They will make sure your glasses are what you want. I will continue to use them forever.

I had questions about ordering a second pair of darker transition lenses that would darken in the car as well as more than when outside in the sun. I called and spoke to Justin in Customer Service. He was excellent! I give him 5 stars for the explanation and all of the help in me getting my second pair of glasses. He was fantastic! My second order was a bit pricey but they should fit the needs I have.
