However, several reviews point to significant concerns regarding service delays, unexpected fees, and occasional issues with customer support.

Rebate
August 23, 2024

The sales pitch said I could apply for a rebate which would lower the overall cost of the lenses. I did not receive any paperwork or instructions on how to apply for the rebate.

Ease of use
August 23, 2024

The in site vision test made it very easy to be able to renew my contact prescription while I waited to be able to see my regular eye doctor and ordering the lens themselves was super easy!

Not happy
August 23, 2024

I received the wrong lens. I haven't opened the box, but I did put R on it. So they wouldn't take it back. I think it's ridiculous, especially since I hadn't even open the box. So now I'm stuck with the wrong lens.

Took too long to get them.
August 23, 2024

I feel that if you didn't have them and had to order them yourselves, then I should have gotten priority shipping for free. I have never had to wait that long for contacts.

Don't care for the high service charge. Somewhat misleading! Post the actual price in the initial look.

Deceptive pricing, not all charges shown on invoice before hitting send button. Showed $69 on page and I was billed $100.24.

This was my first time ordering from 1-800-Get-Lens. I was happily amazed at how easy it was to order new contacts. I think the whole process took 5 minutes or less from start to finish! I received my contacts within the time frame provided, and I love my Brilliant Blue eyes! I receive lots of compliments because they are such a vibrant color! I do recommend this company for their easy to follow on line instructions, large variety of products, discounted prices, and fast efficient service. Thanks for reading and have a lovely day.
