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.
Ordered these in Jan. Had to resend the prescription 3 times - finally spoke to a girl who couldn't understand the prescription so I canceled the order. Got a call back and spoke to a great knowledgeable woman reordered - she called me twice to make sure everything was correct I'm confident we are good
Weeks go by, I email to ask status - and I'm told to be patient HARD CONTACT LENSES take time - maybe they do I don't know I ordered SAFETY GLASSES...they arrived to day, lenses good - frames correct - safety shields MIA - did I triple check in FEB that the shields come - was told of course standard they are safety glasses...but they didn't come - super frustrated would not order again
Wouldn't submit
Hard yo see why
Only place with the OG94
Easy ordering and fast shipping. Everything was there with instructions on how to file for the manufacture rebate. Easy peasy.

The process was east and fast. Shipping was a little pricey but overall I had a good experience.
Excellent! Ordering was effortless and i received my order well within in the time stated when my order was placed.
Because of personal reviews
Easy, but this last little bit makes me put 50 something extra letters to submit my experience :)
After my eye doctor told me the price of my new contacts I was not happy then I came onto 1800getlens and was BEYOND pleased with the price and how easy it was to order.
Because of how affordable the contacts were for the high strength of my prescriptions compared to my actual eye doctor’s prices.
Quick and easy. Got my contacts in 2 weeks. Will use again for future purchases.

Mis lentes de contactos de muy buena calidad, la entrega fue rápida, super recomendable
Quick, easy and affordable prices for contacts will purchase again.
So much cheaper than the eye doctor for the same quality!
I had to order 4 boxes to get the rebate. I am supposed to receive a rebate form by tomorrow for $85.
Less expensive
Easy to order, no problems and received the order within a couple of days.

Everything went smoothly and quickly. I can highly recommend this company.

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.
