Easy ordering system, fast delivery

Easy ordering system. Ordered on the 11th and arrived on the 14th. I chose for them to be delivered to an in post locker. So a very quick reliable service, at a fair price.
To compare I also ordered a different type of lenses from my supermarket on the 11th (as they do my tests for free of if I ordered once per year). It is now the 26th and they have still not arrived!
So Alensa deliver and fast, I would prefer to order from them.

SUCKS: TOPVUE AIR FOR ASTIGMATISM (3 LENSES)

Ordered the recommended TOPVUE AIR FOR ASTIGMATISM (3 LENSES). Couldn't wear more than an hour as it is very thick and hurts my eyes. as I have opened one box I can't return it.

I have been using Biofinity Toric and had to order it from another website immediately.

The service was fast though.

Hi Abhisek,

Thank you for your feedback.

We’re sorry to hear that TopVue Air for Astigmatism did not feel comfortable for you. These lenses are monthly silicone-hydrogel lenses with high oxygen permeability and 45% water content, designed to provide breathability and stable vision for astigmatism correction.

However, comfort and thickness perception can vary from person to person, especially when switching from another brand such as Biofinity Toric, as different materials and stabilization designs can feel quite different on the eye.

For this reason, we always recommend consulting your ophthalmologist or eye care specialist before changing to a new brand of contact lenses to ensure the best fit and overall eye health.

Regarding returns, while opened boxes are generally non-returnable for hygiene reasons, you may be eligible for our Money Back Guarantee. We encourage you to check the conditions on our website here: https://bit.ly/4aELfgJ. If you believe your order qualifies or if you would like us to look into your case individually, please don’t hesitate to contact us (info@alensa.co.uk)— we’ll be happy to assist you.

We’re pleased to hear that you were satisfied with the delivery speed, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

Kind Regards,
Customer Service Team

Not a great company to use really.

Not a great company to use really.. ordered on 13Jan and did receive confirmation and the glasses were delivered on the 20th. On trying the lenses were wrong and after the initial call saying I had the right lenses, the second call they admitted they had fitted the wrong ones so I sent back the day after. I have called twice now and I am still waiting for the correct replacements..

Late delivery and refused refund


I placed an order on 23/12 with an estimated delivery time of 2–4 working days, but it was only delivered on 16/01, almost a month later.

During the delay, I explicitly informed the company that I would no longer be in the country and asked for the delivery to be cancelled with the courier. This was ignored, and the parcel was still delivered.

I am a tourist, I do not live in the UK, and I will not return to collect a product that should not have been delivered in the first place.

Despite the excessive delay and the delivery being made against my instructions, the company is now refusing to issue a refund.

Very disappointing customer service and poor handling of a clear delivery failure.

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.
