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.

Worked great
November 19, 2024

Didn't like that they had to confirm my prescription, or that my contacts weren't in stock. 4/5 stars, otherwise painless.

This is by far the best price that I have found for my prescription contacts in over 10 years! No more will I have a financial barrier to wearing my contact lenses after discovering this vendor!

Thank you!

Average
November 19, 2024

It was VERY misleading with prices. Made it appear my total was a lower price and then charged my CC double the "total". I should have done more research. I've learned my lesson. Will not be ordering again.

Very impressed
November 19, 2024

I checked other websites to compare prices and came back to lens.com. I like that giving my doctor info they were able to get my prescription. The contacts came very timely. My only problem was that the total price was more than advertised and you have to send back the rebate after order received.

Easy!
November 18, 2024

The ordering process was very simple and quick. My biggest complaint is that the shipping date kept getting pushed back, so it took almost 3 weeks for my contacts to arrive.

Notification of expiration of prescription
November 18, 2024
Updated review

I received an email notifying me that my prescription was about to expire. This allowed me to order additional lenses to get me through to my next eye doctor appointment, which will be delayed due to surgery and needing to establish a new eye doctor.

First time user. Will use again.

Previous review

It was very easy to upload my contact prescription. There was a delay due to the company needed to order the contacts. Communication was great and contacts arrived as ordered. Will use this company again and recommend them for home delivery of contacts.

November 18, 2024

Well I got them. Had to wait longer for them. Your team needs to learn to communicate but with each other and with customers. I might give you one more chance but we will see.

I don't know if it is more 1-800-get-lens or USPS, but I was told that it was going to be here a certain date, and then it showed up almost a week later.
