I’ve been wearing contact lenses for as long as I can remember, and if you’re in the contact lens-wearing club like me, you know how it is: super expensive, having to travel to my doctor's office, and the hassle of making sure I don’t run out of contacts.
But here’s the little secret I’ve kept for a while now: LensDirect. They’ve completely flipped the script on how I get my contacts, and honestly, I’m never going back.
Here’s my experience with LensDirect and why I think you’ll love them, too.
Finally, name brands without the jaw-dropping price tags
If you’ve ever gasped at the price of contacts at your eye doctor’s office, you’re not alone. LensDirect changed my mind about this. They opened my eyes (pun intended!) to the fact that you can score the same name-brand lenses for way less. They stock every brand I could think of and several I didn’t know. Acuvue, Biofinity, Air Optix. You name it; they have it.
But they have all the major brands at a fraction of what it would cost at my eye doctor, plus if you sign up for their hassle-free subscription plan, you save another 20% (which I did, of course) with free shipping!
I’ve stopped running out of contacts, and it’s so simple
You'll appreciate this if you’ve ever had to chase down your prescription or awkwardly navigate a clunky website. Or spent endless time trying to reach the eye doctor, only to then travel to pick up your unnecessarily expensive contacts. LensDirect makes it find your brand, upload your prescription (or they can even call your doctor), and then place your order – all in a matter of minutes.
Their AutoRefill option is also convenient if you like setting/forgetting it while saving money and earning LensDirect rewards (that you can use for future purchases). When you sign up for AutoRefill, you choose the specific frequency like every three months or six months, and that’s it – LensDirect will ship your next batch right to your door. It’s a lifesaver. No more “oops, I’m out of lenses” moments because they’ve got your back. And yes, you can cancel or edit your subscription whenever you want. No commitments.
Lighting fast delivery and easy prescription renewal? Yes, please
I’ve been guilty of wearing old lenses way longer than I should because I was waiting on delayed shipments or didn’t want to deal with renewing my prescription.
But LensDirect makes sure that’s never an issue because their lenses arrive in days, not weeks.
And if you have an expired prescription, you can use their online vision test. I tried it, and it was quick (took like 10 minutes), affordable, and much more convenient than scheduling an appointment. I legit did it in my living room! They really thought of everything.
Customer care that goes above and beyond
After dealing with awful experiences with the eye doctor, or other online companies in the past, it’s refreshing to actually speak to a customer service team that actually cares (and are actual humans, hooray). LensDirect’s customer service went above and beyond when I had questions about my order, offering a 90-day return policy and generous warranties depending on the product. They truly deliver on their promises, making the whole process seamless.
Getting contacts is no longer an ordeal
LensDirect has turned a once-frustrating, expensive process into something simple, affordable, and enjoyable. From their variety of name-brand lenses to their transparent pricing and fast, convenient delivery, or even their amazing app that lets you stay in control of your contact lens supply, they’ve thought of everything. If you’re looking for a better way to buy your lenses, LensDirect is definitely worth a look.
