5. Prescription Spectacle Lens Return & Refund Policy


Prescription spectacle lenses are custom-made products manufactured specifically according to the customer's prescription and requirements. Therefore, all prescription lenses are generally non-returnable, non-refundable, and non-cancellable, including orders placed through Partial COD.

Exceptions may be considered only under the following circumstances:

• The lens power supplied does not match the prescription provided by the customer.
• An incorrect lens product, coating, index, or specification was supplied by Neema Opticals.
• The lenses are received with manufacturing defects, scratches, coating defects, damages, or quality issues.

In such cases, the customer must notify Neema Opticals within 7 days of delivery and may be required to return the lenses/product for inspection.

All returned lenses will be thoroughly inspected by our team. Refunds, replacements, or corrections will be approved only if the issue is verified and found to be due to an error, defect, or fault attributable to Neema Opticals or the manufacturer.

If the lenses are found to have been manufactured correctly as per the prescription and specifications provided by the customer, and no manufacturing defect or damage is identified, the return, refund, or replacement request may be declined.

Any approved refund or replacement will be processed only after successful inspection and verification by Neema Opticals.

If the customer's prescription changes after placing the order, or if an incorrect prescription is submitted by the customer, they must inform Neema Opticals as soon as possible via Whatsapp/Email. We may be able to change or remake the lenses; however, additional charges may apply depending on the lens type, product, and manufacturing stage. Any applicable charges will be communicated to the customer before proceeding.

Product Unavailability / Order Cancellation Due to Stock Issues

In rare cases, due to product unavailability, inventory discrepancies, system errors, supplier issues, or human errors, if an order has been placed and payment has been successfully made, Neema Opticals reserves the right to cancel the order. In such situations, the customer will be promptly notified, and a full refund will be issued without any deductions. The refund will be processed as soon as possible through the original payment method or the best available payment option.

Where possible, Neema Opticals may attempt to arrange the ordered product, offer an alternative product, suggest a suitable replacement, or provide an estimated delivery timeline. Such options will be communicated to the customer via WhatsApp, email, phone call, or any other available communication method.

If the customer agrees to the proposed alternative, replacement, revised delivery timeline, or special arrangement, and Neema Opticals is able to fulfill the same, the order will continue as mutually agreed. Any such agreement communicated and accepted by both parties through WhatsApp, email, or other written communication shall be considered valid confirmation to proceed with the order.

Order Cancellation Policy:

• If an order is cancelled before it has been shipped, dispatched, or a pickup request has been generated, the customer will receive a full refund of the amount paid, with no deductions. (Note: Only for Eligible Refundable Products)

• If an order is cancelled after shipment, dispatch, pickup generation, or any logistics process has been initiated, any shipping, courier, handling, payment processing, or other charges incurred by Neema Opticals may be deducted from the refund amount.

• This policy applies to all orders, including Partial COD orders. Any non-refundable charges incurred by Neema Opticals after order processing, shipment booking, or pickup generation may be deducted from the refundable amount.

• In cases where deductions are applicable, the customer may contact us for details regarding the charges incurred.
