| - I thought that since this was part of UPMC it would be a better, more professional experience than, say, Lenscrafters. Wrong! Within three days of getting my new glasses, the lenses started getting small spots on them, which had nothing to do with anything I did. (I've had glasses for 35+ years -- I know what does and does not hurt lenses.) After doing a few online searches, I've discovered others who have had this same problem.
Also, this was the most expensive pair of frames and lenses I've ever bought. I decided to splurge on them after several disappointing experiences at places like Lenscrafters and America's Best. As it turns out, they're the most expensive and cheapest made frames I've ever bought. Within a month, both nose pieces broke. I've never had this happen on any frames before.
When I bought the frames, I made certain to tell them I needed to have all-titanium because of a skin allergy. I was told what they sold me was pure titanium, but after about a month the outer coating wore off, and the metal underneath was exposed, thus causing dermatological problems.
All in all, I would never go back, and wouldn't advise anyone else to go, either, especially considering how expensive everything was, plus how quickly the lenses, nose pads, and frames themselves ALL deteriorated.
