Excellent Experience
November 25, 2024

This was my first time ordering contact lenses without going through my optometrist and it was a very simple process. I have ordered eyeglasses online before, however, this was my first time ordering contact lenses. I was very happy with the service.

Skeptical, but proved wrong.
November 25, 2024

I'd never order contacts online and was kinda worried they wouldn't work for me. I received them in a timely manner and they actually fit alot better than the ones from the eye doctor. Highly recommend.

Support was Fire🔥
November 25, 2024

Even though I uploaded my prescription, my doctor's office rejected without giving a reason other than wrong. I called support. I was connected to a real person in less than 15 seconds. They cleared up the issue and walked me through the rest of my order. 💯

Affordable with payment option
November 24, 2024

I price checked three different companies and this one was the most affordable. My contacts can get pricey and I always have to make payments. Afterpay is the company they use, pretty cool.

Loved the convenience but...
November 24, 2024

I loved the convenience of online ordering and having contacts shipped to my door. But, paying an extra $150 for taxes and handling fees... common people. It shouldn't cost $150 it was literally half the cost of 6 boxes of contacts.
