Reliable Contact Lens Provider
October 24, 2024

Nothing of note, everything went smoothly. Please make sure to read the cost per unit as the site makes it just a little tricky to determine your cart price before checkout. They offer a nice rebate, but you get it in the form of a gift card, not a direct return of money.

The process was easy and quick. Half the cost of ordering through my optometrist.

I thought the price was going to be a lot cheaper, then I got to checkout and it really wasn't any different than if I would order them at eye Dr.

Great experience!
October 22, 2024

Such a seamless ordering process and a great price! The only reason for 4 out of 5 's is that shipping took a little longer than planned.

Fast and Easy Service
October 16, 2024

The website was very easy to navigate. I was able to find my contacts that I needed and it was the cheapest compared to any competitive website. I received my order in the mail within a few days and easily sent in my rebate paperwork.

They were easy to work with
October 16, 2024

I ordered over the phone the very helpful the only negative was that he did not tell me that my lense was not available in-house because it was a toric and so I got an email about 4 days later saying it could take another two weeks before I received. I did call to cancel because I needed my contacts quicker and they were able to get them faster and I had to pay for faster delivery to get before I was leaving to go out of town. But all very helpful

Best price I could find. Took longer to receive than I anticipated but the company was great keeping me informed of the delay and when I should expect my contacts.

No

Honestly, I was a little disappointed, the pricing that is advertised looks so enticing, but when you start adding everything up, it gets expensive really fast. I wonder if there is a different way to advertise, like using both eyes as the advertised price, not just one eye.
