ContactsDirect Return Policy
Every return window, fee, and holiday extension for ContactsDirect — pulled from the retailer's own policy page and linked below so you can confirm it yourself.
The 6-month window is unusually generous for contacts — most competitors cap returns at 30-90 days — but it only applies to unopened boxes, so don't crack open a box you might want to return.

About ContactsDirect
Ordering contact lenses online through a prescription upload rather than a doctor's office is the whole appeal — it's built for repeat buyers who already have a prescription and just want their usual brand at a lower price. Solutions and lens care products round out the catalog.
What sets it apart is the return window: 6 months from receipt, which is far longer than most vision retailers offer, though it only covers unopened, undamaged boxes. Refunds take up to about 15 days to process once they receive your return. It's a solid fit if you order in bulk and want breathing room in case your prescription changes.
What they sell
- Contact lenses across major brands (Acuvue, Air Optix, Biofinity)
- Contact lens solution and cleaning products
- Prescription-based reorders
- Colored and specialty contact lenses
