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.
The process was easy and quick. Half the cost of ordering through my optometrist.
I had great communication even before I knew my contacts would be late arriving.
I made a call to customer service with a question. They were very helpful.
Placing the order was fairly easy and received my order of contacts relatively fast.
Easy to order but took a month to receive my contacts in the mail
I compared the prices of multiple companies online and 1-800-Get-Lens has the best prices and an amazing rebate offer. If you're looking for a good deal, you have found it.
Ordered on the 18th of July and received on August 10. Almost 4 weeks for delivery.
The cost of the contacts were way too expensive. Processing fee is ridiculous and 1-800-contacts does not charge for shipping. Will not come back!
Everything was quick and easy to order and arrived right when I needed them!
Ordered for the first time and was easy and received my contacts quickly
Very easy to use and understand. Good prices and quick turn around time.
Good product. Good delivery. The gas permeable lenses are just what I wanted.
Great experience! Will use it again! I enjoyed my experience with this company!
They contacted my eye doctor to verify my prescription. Super easy and fast.
My order arrived later than estimated. In future will order earlier to accommodate.
So far so good, but would like to receive my rebate before fully answering.
The website was confusing but I ordered via the phone. My contacts arrived quickly and well packed. I thought the business was "1-800-CONTACTS" and never knew about 1-800-GET-LENS.
After calling them 2 days after I put my order in they finally agreed to ship my contacts.
Great! Very easy and simple to order. Would recommend to a friend.

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.
