📝 About this app
The 1-800 Contacts app is for people who want to check “renew my contact lens prescription” and “order contacts” off their list quickly! We see you. We’re here for you. Let’s do this.
- Access the largest in-stock inventory of contact lenses anywhere. If your doctor prescribed it, we carry it (and sell it for less).
- Simple ordering: scan your contact lens box or search for your brand
- Get your contacts fast with next business-day shipping
- Expired contact lens prescription? Renew it with our 10-minute in-app vision exam, ExpressExam.
- Save even more with your vision insurance benefits. Look up your benefits and apply them at checkout.
We carry the exact contact lenses your doctor prescribes, such as Acuvue Oasys, Biofinity, AirOptix, Precision1, but make it easier, faster, and cheaper to get them. Plus, if you just need to renew your existing contact lens prescription, you can skip the trip to the doctor's office for a full eye exam and instead take our vision exam from home. Same prescription. Better experience.™
Other perks of ordering from the 1-800 Contacts app:
- Free shipping, returns, and exchanges
- Tear a lens? We’ll replace it.
- Really good 24/7 customer service from real, nice humans
- Our adorable eyeball mascot
- On vacation? Forget your contacts? We’ll ship to your hotel.
- Pay with Apple Pay

✨AI Revenue EstimateCONFIDENCE: LOW
Publicly available sources provide estimates for the overall company revenue of 1-800 Contacts, Inc., but do not offer specific revenue figures for its iOS app. The company's overall annual revenue estimates vary, with ECDB reporting US$136 million in 2025 and US$12 million in monthly revenue for April 2026 for its main online store, while other sources like Zippia reported $237 million in 2024, and IncFact estimated over $500 million annually as of April 2026. An older SEC filing from 2004 indicated that internet sales constituted approximately half of the company's total revenue at that time. However, no breakdown specifically for the iOS app's revenue could be found.

★☆☆☆☆ Express shipping
I wouldn’t recommend paying for a quicker shipping option. Still took a week to get them. Also, the contacts themselves seem to fit differently than when I purchase from my optometrist office.…

🌍Geographic ReachNot ranked
This app is currently outside the top 100 grossing in all 9 countries we monitor (US, UK, DE, FR, JP, CA, AU, BR, IN). Niche or new apps often launch this way — popularity rankings appear once daily revenue clears the regional threshold.
Profile is built from iTunes Lookup + developer site scrape + ML revenue model. Empty fields show "Not found" — additional sources (Crunchbase, X, IndieHackers, Acquire.com) coming.
