After spending $1,378 on two pairs of glasses, I mistakely believed Clarity would stand behind its work. They said would "make us happy" and offered a refund, but then refused to answer many phone calls, emails, and letters when we asked for one. It is insulting to be treated by Clarity in such a dismissive and deceptive way. I have never been treated in this way by any business. I wish I could give Clarity zero stars and sue them in small claims court.

Earlier this week [I believe Wednesday] I had to make an emergency trip to IECA because I had…read morebroken my glasses in a hot tub accident. Seeing as they were the first ones open, I had picked them solely for that reason. I gathered up my two glasses fragments and off I went. When I arrived, I was confused - they had been open only 45 minutes, but they already had a wait for a repair. Concerned, I went to get a little coffee-and, returned in about 40 minutes, and they still hadn't gotten to my glasses. I was a little surprised, but I chose to wait. The technician [whose name I did not get] picked up my broken glasses after about 10-15 more minutes. Needless to say, the technician was EXCELLENT. Most places near DC where I live would have driven the screw, swiped a cloth at the lenses and called it a day. The technician: drove the screw to repair the glasses, replaced my nose pads, re-adjusted my frames back to how they originally fit, and sealed the screws with nail polish [probably common to others, but unheard of to me]... for NO charge! In fact, she refused my offer for payment, and told me to spread the word. So here I am, spreading it. EXEMPLARY customer service.

I went to my car and just cried. I can not thank Ithaca Eye Care enough for how much they have helped my son! They are very knowledgeable and treat us like family. I recommend them to everyone!
