1-800-GET-LENS Reviews Summary

The company has garnered a mixed reputation, with customers appreciating the ease of ordering and competitive pricing for contact lenses, often highlighting a smooth online experience and effective prescription verification. However, several reviews point to significant concerns regarding service delays, unexpected fees, and occasional issues with customer support.

Overall, the company demonstrates potential for customer loyalty but must address operational inefficiencies to enhance overall satisfaction.

Worst experience ever
July 2, 2024

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.

No instructions on how to get the rebate - I will need to search separately on how to get it. No instructions in the box.

Perfect fit!
June 29, 2024

Grateful to find the exact fit for my contacts. Other providers don't give an option for size, just power. Yours does both!

Disappointed
June 28, 2024

Contacts arrived on time, however they expire within a year. Usually they have a longer expiration date. I have some from another retailer in which I have had and they expire in 2027. Probably will order elsewhere next time.
