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

Is it really better priced?
February 25, 2025

I do feel like the process is overhyped. Yeah, it was easy to find the contacts I needed and quick to verify prescription. I used 1-800 Contacts thinking it was going to be cheaper than me going through Costco. It's not necessarily the case, I got a mail in rebate. Which is fine until I realized the only option on the rebate was a gift card. I was hoping it would have refunded that part. Quick and easy order, just wasn't cost effective for me.

The ordering was simple and the contacts arrived so fast! I have very thick glasses and therefore, prefer to wear contacts everyday! I am thankful to 800-get-lens.

Contacts

Previous review

I have not tried the contacts yet, but I got them quickly. The cost was about the same as if I would have used my eyecare provider with my insurance. But, this way I can use my insurance for my eyeglasses.

Communication needs work
February 20, 2025

I ordered my contact lenses with an expected ship/received date. However, when they weren't delivered as expected, I had to reach out to find out that there was a delay due to low inventory. What was supposed to be 3-5 days, turned into almost 2 weeks.
