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.
Met my expectations and my contacts were delivered before I expected them!
I will be ordering as many contacts as I can before my prescription expires
Website makes it easy to upload Rx
Had my exam and had new lenes in less than week.
To be super honest I thought 🤔 I clicked on 1800contacts. Mistake saved me $30,ordering from getlens from now on.
Such a seamless ordering process and a great price! The only reason for 4 out of 5 's is that shipping took a little longer than planned.
I got my lens early so I'm excited about that... don't like the fee and taxes but ill keep buying if my shipping continues to come early
Pleasant overall shipping was 2 weeks to get here. Box was packaged well. Sent right product so no complaints
Out of all the contacts that they carry they had to order mine from their supplier so it took a little longer than expected
A bit complicated on the website but it works. Did not have any issues getting contacts with a prescription that came from out of the us.
The process was painless to order my contacts and received exactly what I ordered. Happy with the results.
I got my contacts fast in the mail! So easy and company was great about keeping in touch with you until you receive your order.
This website is very easy to use! Just scan your prescription and add your personal info and Done! I had the contacts in 2 weeks.
I tried to order my contacts with another website and it was giving me such a hard time. They charged me without confirming my order and I had to go through my card company to refund the funds. This website made it so easy and fast would 10/10 recommend
Great Price and Great Service. The website was easy even for a computer illiterate person like myself.
I ordered my lens and with in a month, I received them. They are exactly the brand I had requested. Thank you so much.
A very straight forward process I was able to take a picture of my contact subscription and the contacts arrived within 2 weeks
I was able to find my specific contact type and prescription easily, and order from there. It's also nice to have rebates available.
Co-ordination with Optometrist was frustrating. Now that you have my prescription my next order will be easier.
Shipping took over 2 months, it just sat as "processing" and when you ask for an update they just tell you they're "processing". No timeline for anything
Very good. Received contacts in a reasonable time though delayed due to being out of the contacts I needed
Easy website! Very easy to find what I was looking for and quick delivery. Contacts were still expensive, but that's just the cost of contacts, I guess.
Took me a while to figure out how to order - this was my first time. But overall experience was very good.
As long as you have a current RX, you can order your contacts very easy! Price is right! Will deal again!
My first time using online site for ordering contacts. Very pleased with use of site and prompt delivery. Will use again.

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.
