This site is wonderful. Prices are comparable to USA and no prescription required. Once you get over a certain age your contacts just don't change. The USA rules on prescription are just a joke to get you to go back and back to your DR.
Have used this site 10 -15 times. AWESOME! Never a problem.
I just ordered my contacts and for those who say communication is terrible, they have a email listed, I sent a email before and after order and got a quick response fro
Their live chat I paid express shipping and was sent my tracking number the next day. I couldn't have asked for better customer service.

Good service from globallens.
Ordered the same contact lenses I usually wear. I got a tracking number within a couple of days, and about a week and a half from ordering time - the lenses were in my mail.
Simple and good.

If you need to refill your contacts, then this is the place to go. Shipping takes a little longer as they ship from Canada, but they have never failed once. British Columbia changed their laws in May / 2010 to allow people to refill their contact lenses without a prescription.
"The government says there is no medical evidence to suggest the changes could impact people's health and says the new regulations will modernize eyewear sales."
"With advances in technology and more consumers turning to the internet, it makes sense to modernize a decades-old system to give British Columbians more choice while maintaining public safety," Health Minister Kevin Falcon said in a news release
These guys have the lowest prices I've seen, at least for the lenses I use, and have been around since the mid 90s.
They are the worst faking people I've ever met they lie to you telling you they ordered them but don't have them in stock and every time you call they say give it a week we should have them in you call a week later the same answer then you ask if they have a date they should be receiving them and they will tell you they weren't given a date but yet they tell people it should be a week. Complete scam I would never order off here again I waited 4 months with them telling me the same thing it should be a week. Not to mention the rude women who always answers the phone acting like she doesn't know anything and tries to make you sound crazy for wanting an approximate date nobody shop here or you will be sorry in the end I guarantee it.
It is a convenient way to order contact lenses without all the verification of prescription cr*p. It gets annoying when you are in your twenties, have little changes to your vision than already exists, and have to shell out money for another eye exam when your prescription hasnt even changed... HOWEVER:. If its color contacts you ordered from them, it could take up to over 2 weeks for them to backorder and ship them out and another 7-16 days to recieve them... thats a month to wait... normal contacts they ship out in a more timely manner
I ordered from the US
The order never came to the address listed--the tracking stated it was delivered but
Went to the zip code not on my order! Now the problem--the tracking questions need to come from the sender --not the person recieving it! Getting a response from globl lens was unprofessional and disappointing--no calls and no help
Stay away or pay the big price of the shipping with a carrier that insures delivery. Canada postal communication with the us is poor and the communication with the customer poorer. BEWARE
I received Globallens' delivery of contact lenses as promised (no S/H charges and no taxes) and I am SUPER impressed with their great service and generosity. (They gave me a bunch of additional lenses for free.)
Their service is OUTSTANDING---especially when I compare it to all other companies I have been dealing with over the years.

I recently purchased a box of acuvue oasys for astigmatism contact lenses, the price was probably about $10 USD more a box then at 1-800-contacts but with free shipping the difference in price was negligible.
I was worried that they may not be legitimate but here I sit with a brand new box of contacts which I desperately needed.
Anyhow for someone like me, they are a life saver.
Placed my order Monday and received the next Monday! Great customer service, replied back to my email and very cheap. Will order from them forever
