Excellent customer service. They are courteous and listener. I will use DesignerOptics.com to do all my optical purchases
I order a watch from them. I was skeptical at first but then it has been nothing but a positive experience. I first accidentally put the incorrect zipcode in (my fault). I sent them an email and the next day I got a response that it was fixed. I then received an email that my watch was on back ordered for another month after ordering it when it said it was in stock. I emailed them asking what was going on and that this was a birthday present that was this same week.. They explained to me that their supplier didnt have it when they said they did. They asked me how I wanted to proceed. I told them I still wanted the watch. They thanked me for not canceling my order. Then out of no where the next day I had an email saying that it was on the way and I got it 2days later which was fast than I originally anticipated it when I ordered! I dont know where they found one but I'm really grateful! I will definitely order with them again!.
I ordered some prescription glasses from this company and they were too small. I called to send them back for an exchange in size. All they did was tell me I couldn’t return them and then they tried to sell me a second pair of expensive glasses. A lot can go wrong with prescription glasses. Stick to the big companies that allow you to return or exchange.
Hi Sarah, thank you for the feedback. To clarify: prescription lenses are ground and edged to fit the exact shape and size of one specific frame, so they can't be moved into a different-size frame — choosing a new frame means new lenses have to be made from scratch, which is a real cost, not an upsell. We offered a discounted price on that new pair, and a refund on the frame was also available if you preferred not to reorder. We'd like to revisit this with you directly — please reach out at 718-412-0407 with your order number. — Designer Optics Team
Ordered on Friday morning hours. Shipped by evening and got delivered by Tuesday(in-stock product). 100% legit.
I ordered a pair of Scott Harris frames that my optometrist no longer stocked. They arrived safely and well packaged.
Horrible customer service. They sent the wrong sunglasses and refused to pay for return shipping. Stay away
After reviewing your order, we found that the sunglasses you received matched the model that was ordered. Your return was processed as a standard customer-choice return rather than due to an incorrect item. As outlined in our return policy, the cost of the prepaid return label is deducted when our label is used. As a courtesy, however, we waived the $9.95 return label fee and refunded it back to you. We strive to provide accurate products and fair resolutions, and we appreciate your feedback. If there are any remaining concerns, please contact us at [email protected] or 718-412-0407
I have always been skeptical about purchasing expensive important things online and this experience validated all my worries. I decided to give this company a try based on all the "positive" reviews and I couldn't have been more disappointed. These reviews must of been a scam! I purchased Gucci mens prescription glasses and spent close to $1000 just for them to come apart and look nothing like they did in the picture! So in order to get them repaired I had to pay $60 to send them in as if it was my fault. So I sent them in and it took over a month to get them back just for them to come back worse than it was before! They came apart again and they expect me to pay another $60 to send them back in! Absolutely worst customer service and products are horrible. I could have saved me the hassle by purchasing these glasses at an actual store where I wouldn't have been scammed. I've learned my lesson. I will never purchase anything from this company again and if you don't want to experience the same issues I suggest you don't either.
Hi, thank you for sharing this — we're sorry to hear about the trouble and take this feedback seriously. We'd like to clarify one point: the service fee tied to a warranty claim isn't a repair charge or an assumption of fault on the customer's part. It's a standard warranty service and handling fee that covers processing the claim with the manufacturer, labor, and shipping the frame to and from them — it applies the same way regardless of whether the manufacturer sends back a new frame or repairs the original. We can also confirm that, as discussed directly, we're moving forward with a brand-new frame replacement under warranty rather than a repair. We'd like to finish resolving this with you directly — please reach out at 718-412-0407 or reply to our most recent email. — Designer Optics Team
I simply choke when I think about how much I have to pay for the frames that look best on my face at a optometrist or optical store. It only took about 7 days for these to arrive, and I literally say 50% on the frames. These guys are doing consumers a really great service, And of the three times I checked on the order customer service was very good. Just keep in mind they don't keep these in stock, they have to order them, so you're going to have some time before they get delivered. Personally to save $250 on a $500 frame? I don't mind waiting a few days. Kudos to the owners of this company!
I paid for next business day delivery and now 4 business days later, it's not yet there.
Hi Eiríkur, we were unable to locate an order under the name used in this review. Please verify that your order was placed with Designer Optics. If it was, please contact us with your order number or email address. Please also note that next business day delivery refers to the carrier's transit time once the order has been shipped.
I was looking for magnetic " clip on" sunglasses for my new prescription glasses because I really, really disliked the amber colored ones that came with them from my eye doctor. Designer Optics made it super simple and easy to find the exact clip ons by inputing into their search bar a number/letter combination that I found on the inside stem of my glasses
Easy to use app, arrives as indicated, good pricing, item as shown and as ordered 3rd order placed
My glasses have a manufacturing defect,this was even confirmed within the email by designer optics. I have only had them for 24 days with little to normal use. I requested to do a warranty claim and was told I would be charged 20% of the original purchase price of my glasses to have them sent to persol. Persol does this for free! I'll never purchase from here again and I think that what you are doing is wrong as my glasses are still new. I would not purchase from here again, fast email response with poor customer service buy elsewhere! Never Again!
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your warranty experience. Our warranty process follows the manufacturer's authorized service procedure. While your concern was acknowledged, the manufacturer requires authorized retailers to submit warranty claims through their service program, which may include a processing fee depending on the brand and the type of claim. This fee is not charged for the repair itself but covers the manufacturer's warranty handling process. We understand your frustration and appreciate your feedback. If you would like us to review your case once more, please contact us with your order number at [email protected] or 718-412-0407. We would be happy to see if there are any additional options available.
They make it seem like it is going to be 5-7 days. But I ordered on 7/08 on I am being told on 7/14 that they just sent to the lab, They then have to make them and you have NO idea how long that will take. On top of that it is another 5 to 7 business days BEFORE they ship. They you have to wait to ship. I would have NEVER ordered if I had known this it is very deceiving!
Thank you for your feedback. We understand your frustration and regret that the processing timeline was not clear. The estimated 1–5 business days displayed on the product page applies to the frame itself. Because your order included custom prescription lenses, additional lab processing time was required, as noted on the product page before checkout. Prescription lenses are custom-made and must be surfaced, edged, and quality inspected before shipment. We understand that this may not have aligned with your expectations, and your feedback is valuable as we continue to improve how we communicate processing timelines to our customers.
This is my first time purchasing from Designer Optics... and will NOT be my last. The Selection is Fabulous and Huge... so much more than any other retailer. I have few pairs of Tom Ford frames and I decided to switch it up this time to TIFFANY &CO ... AND OMY THEY ARE WONDERFUL. I usually use my insurance and still end up paying 500 for my scripts and frames. NOT ANYMORE....these were 350 and included transitions lenses and WITHOUT INSURANCE. Plus the ease of ordering and delivery was top notch. I placed my order on Friday and by the follow Friday am... my new glasses were in my hands. Packaged beautifully in TIFFANY box with case and accessories. I will be a repeat customer.
I'm going to make sure i post this review in as many sites as i possibly can because these guys are just not honest! I purchased a pair of sunglasses online based on the details provided on their add, pictures etc...I had already tried on the pair i bought at an airport once so i knew what they looked like on me and the fit. The purchase process was like any other online store, nothing espectacular.. a few days later the sunglasses arrived and when I took them out of the box, the colors and finish looked nothing like the pictures online. The frame was a brownish color with a glossy finish. I didn't mind the color but the finish was awful and NOWHERE on their online add, the finish was mentioned. I called them to initiate a return and to get more details about the other colors they had available for those glasses (It was a Canada Goose frame). I liked the Havana Grey and specifically asked the person on the phone if the finish was matte or glosse, and mentioned that the pictures online looked like it was matt, but so did the one I was returning so I wanted to make sure. The sales person on the phone (a guy) told me it was matte. The finish is matt" he said, so before i had received a refund or even returned the first pair, i bought the second one Havan Grey. The pair arrived one day late and I had left on vacation the day before (yeah so, the pair I wanted to have taken, ended up living in my mailbox for 2 weeks). I get back and to my discontent the new pair is GLOSSY! Glossy! despite having been told by the attendant on the phone it was MATTE! To make matters worst, because of the delay in the delivery and my trip, i had gone over the return window (which is only 14 days, not the usual 30). they were kind enough to accept the return out of the return window (and this was the only good thing these guys did even though the second purchase only happened because they incorrectly told me the frame was matte, AND i was out of the return window because the delivery came a day late) and despite all of this, they refused to provide a full refund and took almost $10 for the return fee. They gave me the wrong information, it was because of that wrong information this chain of unhappy events happened and even though they followed their return policy, i still lost a total of $20 because of their unreal add pictures, lack of detailed description and wrong information provided by their employee. Needless to say, i will never do business with them again.

Designer Optics is an awesome online supplier of quality eyewear at unbeatable prices. My orders were easy and shipping was quick with thorough updates on delivery.
Great shades, shipping and most importantly price.
I picked a pair of glasses . choose from all my options, submitted my subscription. when I receive the glasses they were too big they just fall off my face when I lean forward. When I contacted them they said there's no guarantee on custom glasses. But all prescription glasses are custom and all the other companies guarantee there glasses. So they offered me a 10% coupon knowing I'm never going to use this company again because I just lost $500 on glasses I can't wear. And that's why I'm making other potential customers aware of the fact that you don't have a guarantee and the other online companies do, so they don't lose like I lost
We're sorry to hear the frame did not fit as expected. Because prescription lenses are custom-made for each customer, they are covered by our prescription return policy and cannot be returned once manufactured. That said, our goal is always to help our customers find a solution. We did offer a goodwill discount toward a replacement frame, and we encourage you to contact our customer service team if you'd like us to review any additional options that may be available. We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to assist.
Received the item I ordered in a timely manner.
