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.
Was delivered in a timely matter, and I'm happy with my lenses.
This is going to be my only way of getting contacts now!
Website was user friendly, customer service spot on. Pricing phenomenal, I will continue to use them, and recommend them to others.

They were delivered the day they said they were going to and it was in a fast and timely manner.
No problems at all. Very happy with my experience. They contacted my doctor and confirmed my prescription.
It seems like a scam to me that they sent me 30 boxes of contact lenses that I bought, with an expiration date of less than one year. Why130 didn't they warn me before shipping the glasses? They send me what they have to throw away. Abusive
Great experience fast delivery and good price. A lot cheaper than other places.
Excellent shopping experience.I am glad I came across your website.I will be shopping with you guys from now on! My only thing is: I would like the boxes marked "L" and " R" for convenience!
To be honest, the rebates caught my eye when I did a Google search.
First my order was switched delivery date after I got a delivery date saying they didn't have the ones I needed at time, also very expensive. Will not order from here again
The shopping experience itself was great, but the rebate situation is very annoying.
The man who helped me with my order was efficient and helpful. Good job.
I've ordered before & always receive prompt delivery
This was my first time ordering. It's Fast and easy! Wish I did this years ago!
First time using this online lens buying was seemless quick and easy. However I thought I was getting the lenses I order were in a silver box not white
The checkout procedure seemed a little harder than it needed to be and I didn't realize until I hit the enter button that the $85 discount is not a discount at all, but a prepaid charge card that you may or may not get in 10 to 12 weeks if you jump through all the hoops, they require in the application.
Not the lowest price but still competitive and I just got tired of shopping. Especially the ones that add a $186 processing fee to mail 4 boxes of contacts:-)
It was a pleasant surprise to find out that 1-800-GET-LENS was able to fill a prescription for Rigid Gas Permeable lenses. Ordering was simple, price was good, delivery was fast and lenses fit perfectly.
Very easy to order and my downloaded prescription made it even faster, prices was very reasonable also
First time I've used this company and very happy with how quickly it came after they verified my optometrist prescription which was also very quick.

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.
