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. While many customers express satisfaction with the product quality, the frustration over communication and transparency in pricing suggests a need for improvement in these areas.

3 shipping delays
August 7, 2025

I placed my order on July 10 and received the contacts Aug 1. By far the very worst customer service I have ever received. I will not be using this company again to order contacts. The customer service reps were absolutely no help in resolving the issue with the manufacturer and said they would be happy to expedite my order for an additional fee. Are you kidding me?! I do not usually leave reviews but this experience makes my blood boil.

I had to keep reusing my last pair of contacts waiting for my order to finally show up (being that i've been a former customer it hasn't ever taken this long from what i remember) I've always used 1800contacts because it's usually easy/convenient and they at least give a free contact case which I also did not receive. So bummer that they completely rebranded and changed their methods.

Took too long
August 6, 2025

It took way too long to get my order. I will not be ordering from here again. Price is comparable to other places, but much slower to get them delivered.

Great Service
August 5, 2025

I received wonderful service from the customer service representative when needing help navigating the website of where I can receive an online contact renewal as well as get the prescription to the order already placed. The only way I could think to improve my experience would be to have an axis number entered into the prescription as well instead of the base lens number and curvature.
