“Zero stars - Cheap for a reason - AVOID”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Vision_direct43890 on 06/05/2021

Customer service changes customer details, lens prices and cancels orders created on the VisionDirect platform at will, to the point where I had to specifically tell them NOT to do so - NOT to remove items from my basket or change my username without my permission (!) etc. I'm not sure what the thought process of the customer service team is exactly but it definitely isn't one that 'puts the customer first'. Out of the many contact lens suppliers (feelgoodcontacts, pinkyparadise, nextdaylenses etc) or even general online retailers, this has been, by far, THE WORST. To get one pair of contact lenses from VisionDirect: More than of 10+ times contacting customer service on chat, where they will then tell you to call in. If customer service feels like it, they will tell you to email - so passing you from chat to phone to email. Get the distinct feeling this is a company that gathers as many of its customers details as it can without consent in order to sell the information on to third parties. It's '1/2 cheaper' than stores on the high street but even with lenses at half price their more expensive competitors are still in business which is makes us all very lucky as consumers. Thank goodness VisionDirect isn't the only contact lens store available as I'm not going to be purchasing from them again. It is half the price FOR A REASON - AVOID!!!

“No communication”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 21/06/2019

Usually next day delivery, not this time. Some items out of stock but they never communicated or updated me with when they would arrive, or even sent part of the order. I had to call after a week and they said they were shipping it that day. Didn't arrive so rang again. They then said it would be the following week. In the meantime I ran out of lenses. Discovered lensstore.com which was brilliant and I cancelled Vision Direct. What a shambles.

“This company is brilliant!”

★★★★★

written by on 15/09/2017

To start with they have contacts in my prescription, they came within a week, the contacts themselves are really soft and comfortable and the company doesn't try to fleece you with the price. The packaging is fantastic and as high quality as the contacts and came with a 'thank you for your business' token that really made me smile and think that this is a company I want to give my money to versus the rude lack of customer care you receive in shops these days. Thank you vision direct, I'll be back.

“Perfect every time. ”

★★★★★

written by Wissywig on 29/01/2015

This is my second order with Vision Direct (previously GetLenses), and i don't have a single complaint with them. Super easy to order, lots of variety to choose from, and my lenses arrived well packaged the day after I ordered them. Can't beat their prices either. I rarely leave reviews, but when i get great service on something as vital as my vision (I'm blind as a bat without my lenses), I'm very willing to do so. Thanks VD/GL for making something that used to be a hassle incredibly easy!

“Good service, no discounts though ”

★★★★☆

written by on 23/08/2014

Been using Getlenses for nearly 6 years now, not had one £5, £10 or even £15 off any order, they only really give you £5 off when you recommend someone, which I think is pretty poor, but I suppose the cost of the lenses compared to optician prices is night and day, delivery time is fantastic too. :)

“Incredible Value & Service”

★★★★★

written by kcMcCain441 on 10/08/2014

Extremely happy with this product. For the 355ml Bottles (x2) you receive, it works out way cheaper than any of the other local well trusted shops/supermarkets. As far as the delivery goes - I think I got mine within the time frame and will continue to just keep re-ordering. You will always have spare lenses cases at hand just in emergencies. With "Getlenses.co.uk" you quite often get special offers if you stick with them. Great value,quality and service all in one. What more you you want?

I ordered on Friday at 3pm, delivered Saturday 8am... what a fantastic service and my lenses were half the prices they were at boots. I even called on Friday to ask about delivery date and time and Kerry was so nice.

“awesome”

★★★★★

written by Karenw161 on 23/07/2014

Lenses are good value for money, delivery is quick and they always include a new contact lens case. The website is convenient with many types of lenses to choose from and don't need a recipe to order them as long as you know your parameters. would and did recommend it to a friend!

“Perfect Clarity with GetLenses”

★★★★★

written by Tropx110 on 21/06/2014

I have been using Air Optix since 2006 and the company I use to get lens would have been Lens Direct. Pricing is important to me, plus I wanted to try new lens. Choosing Biofinity from Coopervision, it was either to purchase them from Lens Direct or Get Lenses; thankfully, Get Lenses had a discount code for first time buyers, so they easily got my business. Dispatched on time. Arrived on time. Excellent service, no problems and the lens arrived safe and sound. Highly recommendable. Their product information for each product was very thorough as well.

“Good service, value for money”

★★★★☆

written by shepherdessValentine on 22/05/2014

I use Get Lenses because they are fast, efficient and excellent value for money. I have not managed to find my toric lenses anywhere else cheaper. They have been very helpful when there have been any problems and I would thoroughly recommend them to any contact lens wearer. The website is really easy to use, find your lenses, enter the prescription and order. It really is simple and effective. I don't have any complaints...and hope not to!

I live in the UK and there´s no problem with deliveries here. But I found out about Get Lenses delivery methods and you can see they have international service to the US and the rest of the world. Hope this can help to answer your question.

The best thing will be to ask them direct? Their e-mail address is on their website or you can contact them through facebook.

No. They no longer ship to the USA, due to an increasing U.S. restriction policy in contact lenses being listed as "medical" items, in need of a confirmed prescription, and declaration, etc. A real shame, as GetLensesUK, provided excellent service for US buyers. Try GlobalLens. :)

I think so - their delivery page states they can deliver to 'rest of the world' outside EU - no mention of any countries they do not ship to.

They are currently experiencing problems with their processing system and are unable to supply to the US but they are looking into this and hopefully this will be resolved within a couple of weeks. They are considering putting some sort of banner advising that this is a temporary blip and that it will soon be resolved. I would suggest that you just try every couple of days or so. If you email them they will contact you upon resolution of the problem so that you are aware when you can re order again. Good Luck.

I have just spoken to them and they have a temporary clitch in their ordering system. Their IT team are looking into this and they hope to have this resolved within a week or so. I did suggest that they have a banner advising this on the internet. They also advised me that if you email them they will contact you as soon as the problem is resolved. Hope that this helps as I spoke direct to their customer service team who were very helpful.
