Great price and low shipping fee without all the extra added costs. Can't wait for them to be shipped out!
Smooth ordering, helpful phone call, lens are as ordered and per prescription. I'll buy again from this company.
Why do lens companies make it look like a cheap price only to add it in under processing fees
What a scam!
What processing cost that much?
Very shady
I received my contacts in a timely manner. Very pleased. I will recommend this company to my friends.
It would have been so helpful if I got a message saying that the contacts I ordered were discontinued I wouldn't have to wait 4 months knowing that.
I give 4.5 out of 5 stars. Ordering process was excellent! Shipping a little costly and it was delayed. This was my first purchase with this company. I will order again & hope better delivery next time. Probably a supplier delay. And they did keep informed via email as to status.
The contacts came in really fast which i loved because i was ready to get out of my glasses!
It was super easy to order from here! I was able to enter my doctors name and they accessed my prescription and delivered it promptly.
Well done. Much satisfied. Customer service was fantastic. Glad I went this route for my contact lenses; I will go this route from here on out.
Easy to order and slightly cheaper, but definitely more convenient than picking up from my eye doctor.
When I ordered I thought I got discounts right away but it was extra steps to take money back from you.
I DID NOT LIKE HOW THERE WAS NO BREAKDOWN OF THE ADDITIONAL CHARGES. SEEMS LIKE EXTREME HIDDEN COSTS.
Not bad at all. Let me know when there was an issue and kept in contact with me.
This is the place to go if you wear contact lenses you get quality at a great price
Ordering was easy, received quickly, but wish it was clearer that the rebate is a VISA card, not money off or money back!
This was my first time ordering with get lens.Lens arrived in a well packaged box, and in about two weeks.
At first I was unsure but they were fast on shipping and the process was super easy
I appreciated how easy it was to order. This was my first time so I was surprised how quick and easy the whole process was.
Impressed by experience. Easy to order and clearly best prices. Delivered fast and followed up with me.
Need to know where I can get my $75 rebate on my Visa card. Please send me information.
I had some issues getting my prescription filled but one call to customer service and the issue was resolved. They were very kind when I spoke with them and the delivery was quick.
Easy to order and came very quickly. Now just waiting for the refund. If all goes through smoothly will definitely do it again.
Overall good.
Quick check out and low price
Package should have been packed better for weather conditions
Great product, Awesome turn around time from order to delivery! Will definitely order from here again!

Since 1944, 1-800-GET-LENS has made it its mission to provide contact lens wearers with brand name contact lenses at the lowest possible prices. These lenses are the same exact lenses sold by your eye doctor. The difference is that you will save up to 70% when buying from 1-800-GET-LENS, and your order will be delivered right to your door. 1-800-GET-LENS has become a leader in this industry and our customers always enjoy great value and excellent customer service.
In the community of McLean, Virginia, a visionary optician named Billie Odom embarked on a journey that would change how people purchase contact lenses. It was in 1994 when he founded Contact Lens Depot Inc., which later became known as 1-800-GET-LENS.
Billie's innovative approach was to sell contact lenses by mail order, a unique method at the time. However, this decision was met with resistance from some of the key players in the industry. After discovering his unconventional sales method, Ciba Vision Corporation, now known as Alcon, refused to sell contact lenses to him.
Undeterred by the refusal, Billie was forced to acquire lenses from other sources, albeit at a higher cost. His perseverance paid off in May 1997, when Contact Lens Depot Inc and other mail-order providers won a significant victory. Ciba Vision settled allegations with 26 state attorney generals that they had illegally inflated prices to sell its products to discount contact lens distributors. The settlement allowed Contact Lens Depot to drop its prices by 30 percent, a massive win for the company and its customers. Similar lawsuits against Johnson & Johnson and Bausch & Lomb Inc followed the case against Ciba Vision.
Amidst these legal triumphs, Contact Lens Depot achieved $1.4 million in annual sales in 2001 and transformed, adopting the memorable name 1-800-GET-LENS. Though the name changed, the company's commitment to its mission remained steadfast: to provide high-quality contact lenses to consumers seeking convenience and cost savings.
In 2004, Billie Odem passed away, but his legacy endures. Today, 1-800-GET-LENS operates as a testament to his vision and the collective efforts of those who believe in a more accessible and affordable future for contact lens wearers. Our mission has stayed the same, and we are proud to continue the legacy of innovation and dedication that has shaped our industry for nearly three decades. Come and experience the convenience and savings that have made 1-800-GET-LENS a trusted name in eye care.
