GBBoomerang for the win! I couldn't be happier. Over the years, I have had several pairs of glasses with high quality frames but since they aren't made any more the optical shops where I got them can't re-lens them. Enter Boomerang, from a Facebook ad which I almost never pay attention to. Their connection to 1-800 contacts sold me. For my first pair I sent in a frame to be made into computer glasses along with a new prescription. I love that they can take the PD off the old lens. Bottom line-I'm typing this review at my desk and deciding on which pair of frames goes in now for everyday glasses. Communication is one thing that really makes or breaks a transaction for me, and Boomerang scores 100% on that as well as product quality.

GBExcellent, much needed service I had 2 pairs of sunglasses with expensive, high-end designer frames; both pairs of lenses were older prescriptions and scratched but the frames were in great shape and classic styles. I found Boomerang on the web. Service was prompt, process was easy, and the quality of my lenses is top notch. There was no "adjustment" period at all--put them on and they were perfect. I wasn't required to get a "current" prescription like most optical services want; I just uploaded my most recent one, which is in all my other glasses and is just fine.

GBGood idea, Execution not great In theory, the process was a good idea; however, after I received my glasses back I couldn't wear them. The temple was so distorted, where it would hook to my ears, that it hurt whenever I wore them for more than 5 minutes. I brought them to a local optometrist to adjust but it was not the same as it was originally. I did reach out to Boomerang and they advise me the frames were stretch/adjusted to install the new lens. But to the extent that mine were just seem weird and unnecessary. The customer service was really nice, but I won't be using this service again.

GBNew lenses placed on wrong side The folks at Boomerang are friendly enough. But my recent experience was most unpleasant. I sent them my Warby Parker frames to re-lens after my Rx update. I received the new lenses and proceeded to wear them. My vision did not feel right so I stopped wearing them. My optometrist looked at them and found that the lenses were placed in the glasses backwards. I contacted Boomerang and they apologized. Even if they had offered a credit of some sort I am probably not going to use them again.

GBI sent them two pairs of glasses I sent them two pairs of glasses. The first came back missing the eyepads. The second were completely broken. Their solution was to offer me a pair from their sister company, Liingo. Liingo has a very limited selection and nothing that vaguely resembles the pair they destroyed.
