This 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.

When 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.

Are you so certain after hearing a first hand account?
