However, several reviews point to significant concerns regarding service delays, unexpected fees, and occasional issues with customer support.

Order delivered in a timely manner
March 31, 2026

My lenses got delivered way quicker than I expected. I'm going to be out of town and was worried they wouldn't arrive in time. The reorder process was smooth and efficient.

Nothing worked very well, especially for the high price. Took weeks to actually get my contacts, now I don't know how to get the rebate.

I thought I was on 1800 contacts
March 29, 2026

I was a little nervous at first when I realized I went with 1800 get lens when I was looking for 1800 contacts. But I did get my order and the price was comparable to 1800 contacts.

When ordering your contacts make sure you have the prescription, if you don't they can confirm with your doctor. Cool feature 😎 👌

Mid
March 27, 2026

Originally thought I had clicked on a very similar online contact store that I already had an account for so I was confused at first when I couldn't sign in. Then my prescription wouldn't upload so I just left it up to the company and didn't hear from them for a few days before they emailed asking for information I had already provided so they could reach out to my Dr directly. Then when my contacts were shipped I did not get a tracking number. Just kind of a "they'll get there when they get there"

Denied prescription but still sent
March 27, 2026

Hi there. My doctor realized the prescription was wrong and denied this order. I went ahead and reordered for the doctors office. But you still sent me contacts that I don't want.

Wrong contacts
March 24, 2026

After what I think was a long wait, the contacts I received do not match my prescription. Also, I didn't receive information about how to get the rebate.

Cost
March 21, 2026

I think your fees are ridiculous I had a script and paid twice as much as if I had gone back to the doctor with my insurance so I don't think I'll be ordering again
