Try-on glasses with your prescription—before you buy

We’ll send you up to two pairs made with your prescription so you can wear them for 15 days. At work, out at night, on a Tuesday—go for it. Keep what you like and send the rest back. You’re only charged for what you keep. America’s Best offers shoppers an in-store try on. We send real prescription glasses to your door.

Sixty days to decide. Even for progressives.

Our 60-Day Delight Guarantee gives you two full months to fall in love with your glasses—or send them back, free. No matter which lenses you choose. America’s Best gives you 30 days.

VSP or UnitedHealthcare? You’re set.

Your VSP or UnitedHealthcare benefits apply automatically at checkout. No forms, no waiting for reimbursement. America’s Best’s two-for-$95 offer generally can’t be combined with insurance benefits. Here, your benefit comes off the total before you pay. FSA and HSA cards work too.

When America’s Best is the better call

Maybe we’re not for everyone. Here's when America’s Best could be the right fit.

You need an eye exam

America’s Best offers them in most of their 1000+ locations for free if you buy two pairs. If you’re overdue, getting everything handled in one trip can be easier.

You want your glasses adjusted whenever

America’s Best will tighten your glasses any time you’re near a location. We reimnburse the fitting at a shop you choose instead.

We’re part of the 1-800 Contacts family, so the service you’ve trusted for decades comes standard with every pair. Every order is assembled, inspected, checked against your prescription, and tested by our expert technicians before it ships from our Salt Lake City lab. And when you call, you’ll always talk to a real person.

Treat your face right

From $79 with premium lenses included, up to two prescription pairs to try at home, and 60 days to decide. Not bad for a face you’ll see every day.
