The situation is actually much worse. If you go to an optician to get a prescription for eyeglasses, assuming you pay via your insurance, if the optician believes that you will not be ordering glasses from the optician, the optician intentionally and vindictively gives you an erroneous prescription that is off by 0.5 in one eye, leading to a lack of focus when seeing at a distance. It took me many years to catch on to this scam because I had to distinguish it from the prospect of Zenni shipping out bad glasses which they didn't.
- hirsin 2y agoThis is malpractice, so if you have evidence of this you should consider reporting them. Certainly I've never had this issue with my opticians, but have certainly had plenty of bad Zenni glasses.

- OutOfHere 2y agoWhen you say "bad glasses", distinguishing the two is exactly something to worry about. I found that the problem disappeared when I started paying hard cash for a prescription, although it still varies by the practitioner. Fwiw, it would be very hard for the government to correctly investigate and accurately prove in court, since it will require a statistical proof over many patients that get tested at both good and bad places.

What evidence do you have?
