Good experience. Easy to use website interface. Shipped fast. Price as competitive.
Got the lenses I needed at a better price than any other website.
Easy ordering and received in a timely manner, no problem.Thanks
It was easy to pick my provider and have my script authorized.
It took 5 weeks AFTER they said my order had shipped. No communication and their only response was "we will email you." I understand things are delayed, but you should probably update people.
Easy, affordable, and arrived swiftly! Great product that saves money and time.
Buying my contacts was very simple and I got them very quickly!
Ordering was easy. Quick delivery. Much less expensive than ordering through my eye doctor for the exact same contacts.
Ordered contacts and received correct order in just a few days.
My contacts arrived before they were supposed to. I was very satisfied.
They were extremely helpful in receiving my lenses. They came in about 6 business days.
1-800-GET-LENS was exactly what I needed! When ordering my contacts through my vision care specialist was too expensive, I thought I'd try a cheaper route. I searched online and was pleasantly surprised with how easy it was to navigate the website and order contacts. The best part was the price! Thank you! I'll be ordering from 1-800-GET-LENS from now on.
They were very helpful. They called my optometrist to help make sure I had the right prescription.
I placed my order and received it within a few days. They also offered a nice rebate and saved me a lot of money!
Pleasant, but was not 2 day shipping like I paid for. Very misleading.
My order was exactly what was ordered and arrived in a timely manor. Will definitely order with them again.
Shipment was super slow could have been faster but I'm satisfied with my order.
My second year ordering from here and it's quick, easy and always accurate.
Everything was streamlined from start to finish. Time is money and they saved me hours!

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.
