Eyebuydirect Reviews Summary

The company has garnered a solid reputation for providing affordable, quality eyewear, with many customers praising the extensive selection and effective virtual try-on feature. Satisfaction with product quality is prevalent, particularly for prescription glasses, which are often noted as a cost-effective alternative to traditional retailers. However, concerns regarding slow shipping times and excessive communication, particularly following orders, have been highlighted as significant drawbacks. While most customers express overall satisfaction, the inconsistency in delivery and customer service experiences indicates room for improvement in operational efficiency and support responsiveness.

Terrible experience
December 14, 2024

I ordered glasses. Two days later I received an email saying the glasses were not available with 2 day shipping. I was fine with a longer time so I didn't think much of it until the next day when I received a oddly worded email about the purchase that did not make sense. I called customer service and was told the order was canceled and to order a different pair to use the promotional code I had. When ordering a new pair, the code did not work. I called customer service again and was told to wait a week, which I did. It still didn't work so I called customer service again and was told to order the glasses and my charge would be reversed since the promotional code would not work. Many weeks later, the charge has not been reversed. Overall, a disappointing experience.

December 12, 2024

Ive bought glasses here for years but the last time I got then it kept saying my card number was wrong when I know it wasn't so I had to use a different card which was annoying but not the end of the world.

Quality control?
December 12, 2024

Ordered glasses, received glasses, both lenses have markings on outside and inside of lenses and I contacted them about the problem, I sent pics with tape and made arrows pointing to defects on lens showing the marks, they was very good about sending a return label and I sent them back and in the meantime they was having another pair made and I got them in the mail even before they received the returned defective glasses. And the second pair has the identical problem that the first pair had. I tried calling the other day to complain n got someone from the Phillipeans (Maria Francia) which was a waste of time. So I guesss EyeBuyDirect uses a third party to make the lenses ant they can't make them correctly. So as of right now I cannot recommend EyeBuyDirect because I have had a bad experience trying to get a good pair of eyeglasses.

Great prices and good customer service
December 10, 2024

Very easy and convenient. I love that I can try on most models and hope they could make all models available to try on.
The glasses I received are nicer than I was expecting and they are comfortable to wear.

These glasses are not strong

I don't know but I'm not happy with the strength of the glasses. I'm not sure but the quality is questionable.
