Temper your expectation

Oh well, you live and learn. Poor communication of progress. First try of gradient lenses. Despite the hype they are totally unsuitable. Have to dip my chin just to see ahead in focus. No real transition from distance to near. May as well have bought bifocals. £220 wasted.

Excellent

I have to say, I was sceptical, I was looking for a specific pair of sunglasses and loads of websites were promising deals. Alensa had them for 50% off retail and at least a 25% better deal than the nearest rival. I'm always worried about where things ship from when the deal seems too good to be true. I can report the glasses arrived exactly as expected, I have three other pairs from the same brand, the quality is exactly the same, alleviating any concern of authenticity. No small amount of money either. Delivery was fast too. Pleasantly surprised, I'll definitely buy from them again.

Absolutely fuming. Placed a order a week ago and i still haven’t got any idea where it is and when it is arriving. I have emailed alensa countless of times and no response. I needed my contacts for work and normal day to day task. These lot are never seeing me as a customer again

Hello,

We are truly sorry for the frustration caused by the delivery timing, and we understand how important your lenses are for both your work and daily activities.

To clarify the timeline: your order was dispatched on 29/12, which was the first working day after it was placed, with a standard delivery estimate of 2–4 working days. Due to 1/01 being a Bank Holiday, followed by the weekend, the delivery on 6/01 was only one working day later than expected.

That said, we sincerely apologise that our communication during this busy period was not as clear or timely as it should have been. As confirmed previously via email, we are honoring a refund of the postage fee as a gesture of goodwill for the inconvenience caused by the slight delay and the lack of updates.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We appreciate it, as it helps us improve.

Kind regards,
Alensa Customer Service Team

Great Prices and quality contact lenses. I have been using Alensa as contact lenses supplier a while now. Very happy with their service. I use daily Dailies TOTAL1 Multifocal. A bit more expensive than the others but they are the most comfortable, for dry eyes all day lenses I have experienced so far and I have tried many other brands, the 1 Day Acuvue Moist Multifocal are the second best.

I dodged the bullet with this company. Their checkout button is not working and they have different prices on different browsers. Avoid at all cost, it’s clearly a scam!!

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry for the frustration caused by the checkout button - this issue should have been already resolved by now.

Regarding the price differences: what you likely encountered are exclusive promotional discounts offered through different channels. For example, Google often applies specific discounts to our products for users who have found our website through thier platform. These rates can vary depending on the device, browser, or location. We assure you this isn't a scam, but rather our way of offering various savings across different platforms.

We appreciate your understanding and are always here to help if you have any questions or need assistance with your order.

Competitive prices & good service

I’ve been ordering my contact lenses from Alensa for a couple of years now, as they are usually the most competitive on price for my multifocal lenses. The free gift is a nice touch.

Dispatch is always fast and reliable.

Terrible service

Delivery is prompt but sadly that is where the positive experience ends.
I had an issue with the contact lenses drying out my eyes, Customer service tells me that I ordered the wrong prescription (despite confirmation from vision express that it was correct).
I returned the lenses at my own cost and now have no lenses and no refund.
Terrible service.

Hello Arron,

We are sorry to hear about your experience.

We have carefully reviewed the details of your order and the provided prescriptions. At the time of your order, no contact lens prescription had been provided - only a glasses prescription, which requires conversion for lenses. After conversion, it appeared that the parameters you selected did not match the prescription.

Subsequently, a new prescription was provided from Vision Express, after your claim. This prescription does not include the necessary multifocal parameters (ADD power) and shows different power values from what was ordered. Additionally, the base curve of the lenses purchased appears to be different form the recommended one on your prescription.

As stated in our Terms and Conditions, contact lenses are medical products and cannot be refunded once the package has been opened and used. We understand this is frustrating, which is why we offered some store credit as compensation.

We always encourage customers to ensure they have a valid and up-to-date prescription before purchasing lenses, to avoid discomfort or incompatibility and to purchase only the brand of lenses which has been recommended by their specialist. We appreciate your feedback and hope this clarifies the situation.

Kind regards,
Alensa Customer Service Team
