AC Lens Review

AC Lens Delivering contact lenses to over 500,000 online customers since 1995, AC Lens provides services to all 50 states and the entire globe. Originally known as Arlington Contact Lens, and now shortened simply to AC Lens, the company keeps its stock in Columbus, Ohio. This makes for convenient shipping to anywhere in the United States. AC Lens takes offers customers 70% savings over retail contact lens prices. In a report by All About Vision, AC Lens received recognition for the lowest prices. This is especially significant because the report compared the company with discount retailers like Pearl Vision, Lenscrafters and Wal-Mart. AC Lens was even cheaper than 1-800 Contacts, known as an industry leader. AC Lens attributes its unbeatable prices to their purchasing power, filling more than 20,000 orders per month. To accomplish this, AC Lens stocks over 2 million lenses and passes the savings on to its customers.
