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.
Shipping was fast and ordering was easy. The rebate takes a while to process however.
I ordered a different color than they gave me but oh well. Day one, the left is terribly uncomfortable like it is ripped or something or there is a nic on the outer rim of contact. Hoping for good luck, supplied for a year...
Great service with a smile o charge was less than expected with a savings anyway
Precise.convenient.prompt. That's all I have to say! Thank you.
Contacts came very fast…………………………………………………………………………….
Quick and easy to order contacts online. Little expensive though.
Easy peasy… They contacted my doctor and took care of everything. They also had a great price! Win win!
Got my contacts delivered faster and cheaper than 1800 contacts! Thank you!
I thought I ordered from 1800contacts but my lenses showed up saying 1800getlens. But everything was correct
The wait was so long due to ordering from the supplier which caused me to run out.
The order came quick, the price was right, and the contacts are great quality!
Order took over a month to be delivered. I needed my contacts and ordered in plenty of time.
Thank you so much for the amazing deal on my contacts and very fast shipping 🤍👁

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.
