The company has garnered a reputation for competitive pricing and a user-friendly ordering process, with many customers appreciating the wide selection of contact lenses and efficient customer service. Positive experiences often highlight prompt assistance in correcting orders and addressing prescription issues.

Fearful ordering, happy wearing
November 30, 2022

I wasn't sure about ordering contacts online, worried I'd get a knock-off or substandard product. I'm happy to report nothing could be further from the truth. I am thrilled with my purchase, and am ordering more. :)

Rebate Process is Crap
December 29, 2022

The contacts are fine, just like every other provider. The issue is the rebate process. It takes months. But the worst part is that you have to cut up all the boxes that you bought. So I bought 8 boxes, a year supply and it is expected that I open every box and cut out the bottom of the box where the barcode is. Now if I did that I would be sitting here with 720 loose contacts that I am supposed to deal with. They are in strip of five together, so 144 strips of contacts with a very thin foil protecting the contact. Absolute ridiculously poor policy. So I have decided that returning them is the better option. The rebate is not worth the trouble and time you have to sink into it.

Don't believe their rebate. I submitted my rebate form several months back and I still haven't received my rebate yet. And their agent tells me that they can't give any ETA for the rebate card.

Taxes are out of control
December 23, 2022

I have been ordering from Lens.com and will not order from them again. They have gotten out of control with their taxes. The taxes were almost as much as one box of contacts. I found GlassesUSA.com and was able to get 4 boxes of contacts for the amount Lens.com wanted to charge me for 2 boxes. That's ridiculous. Go to GlassesUSA.com for your contacts.

Purchased contact lenses in Feb 2022. Lens.com offered best prices because of a discount provided by a rebate. Lenses arrived within 10 days. Quality lenses, as advertised. But the Rebate took almost 9 months. I actually forgot about it. And, I wonder if they use that as part of their business strategy.
If you really need the rebate in the time that they advertise, I would not go with this company. If the rebate doesn't matter, then they are just as good as a handful of online companies offering good lenses.

It should be easier to change the address on an existing account. This delivery wouldn't have been messed up if I had been able to fix the address myself

Deceptive
December 21, 2022

I went to order 8 boxes of contacts. It showed that the price per box after rebate would be $35.99 and 4 boxes for my right eye would cost $143.96 and 4 boxes for the right eye would be $143.96 there was no total but that would be a total $287.92. Since I qualified for a $290 rebate then I assumed my total would be$577.92 ($287.92 plus $290.00). Imagine my surprise when I clicked on 'go to checkout' and I see a total of $821.79 for my total order and once I submitted the rebate for $290 my total would come to $531.79 not the $287.92 originally noted before clicking on 'go to checkout.' So I did not place my order.

It took several days after filling the order for FedEx to pick it up amd then they kept extending the delivery date by over 4 days. The cost of shipping for lens.com is not worth the amount of time it takes for their carrier to get it to you. Lens.com would be better off using UPS or worst case. The USPS.

Updated review

I answered in previous question. The product was inferior to the sample that I received at my doctor's office. It seems that perhaps there are different manufacturers of these contacts? Apparently I bought one that was not of very high quality.

It was seamless. I ordered them for 1/4 of the price from another place. Really helps when you're broke.

I mailed in my rebate but Lens.com claim they never received it. Yet on the website rebate center they post this notice.

Notice: The service levels of our rebate vendors have been seriously impacted by global raw material supply chain delays. Rest assured you will receive your rebate.

So, they didn't process it because of "rebate vendors have been seriously impacted..." so I'm out $95. I even pointed this out to the support chat but they just said tough luck.

I'll never do business with this company again

Unethical company
December 14, 2022

This was one of the worst customer service experiences I have dealt with from any company. It took 8 months to receive my rebate with no communication that there would be a delay. They had unjustifiable excuses such as "businesses have been impacted by recent events beyond our control." Their website indicates "Rebates take 8-10 weeks as they require multiple steps including fraud prevention, verification, and third-party Visa Card Issuance and mailing." They can't even commit to the timeframe for receiving the rebates on their own website. I never received communication that there is a substantial delay on the rebates which would have been an expected courtesy. I suggest not buying anything from them.
