EyeBuyDirect.com sells prescription eyeglasses and frames, as well as sunglasses.
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.

I have bought many pairs from here and have never been disappointed. Thank you
The eyeglasses didn't fit me well from the nose they slide from my nose, at the end I only use one of the pairs the Ellen one, love the frames, hope this time I don't have that same problem
Never have any issues with my glasses, and very good prices.
I have ordered many glasses here, the last set the lenses were not up to par. They scratched instantly and did not get as dark as they advertised
These are the 8th or 9th pair of glasses I've bought from eyebuydirect.com. I use them for myself, as well as my husband. They're always good, and the glasses are amazing quality. I regularly get complimented on my glasses, and send people EBD's way!
Progressive lenses don't apply to frames that are automatically 2 day delivery. Wish I had known before trying many times to make it work. Called for help and was told to try again in 30 minutes? No way did it work. A chat the next day helped. Had to find different frames.
These guys are great! It's so easy to replace my perpetually broken glasses! They're patient quick and kind when I make a mistake. Great selection, fun coupons to temp me with new frames. :) Five stars.
Very easy to order and it save your information.
Nice very easy
Quality products, reasonable prices, quick delivery. I will continue to use this merchant.
The only glasses I buy for my family. I only buy lightweight glasses with blue light blocking lenses. I can't even imagine what that would cost somewhere else
This will be my 4th pair now. Thankful for the wide selection and choices on both frames & lenses.
I need prisms in both my glasses. Needed to order two pair, but on my main pair, no matter what frame I picked, it popped up for me to call because you may not be able to put my prescription in those frames. I tried 4 or 5 different pair. Full rims too and different sizes. Then I call and get an Indian person that I couldn't understand. My husband just helped me and it still didn't work. You need to change your site for frames for prism glasses only so I don't spend hours trying on frames
Process is easy, tons of great options. Prices are affordable for a household
Love this website I do not order my glasses from anywhere else.
I have ordered several times over the years and had found eyebuydirect to reasonable and fast.
Answer: Or you can be like me and have not received your order after more than a month of waiting. Granted, I'm in Guam, but given that the USPS works here pretty much the same way it works in the states, no other retailer has any problem getting their packages to me in a timely manner. The company has sent me two different tracking numbers for the same package. The tracking report from the post office says the package was supposed to be here 12 days ago and the last time it appears the package was scanned was 24 days ago. I have emailed the company multiple times and every time they reply with some generic apology and continue to stall. The package clearly got lost in the mail, I get that and I am typically a reasonable person but any respectable merchant intent on providing good customer service in today's online marketplace would have owned up to the issue and offered a refund or have already shipped out a replacement product. They've done neither. Does it mean they are bad people running a bad business? Probably not. However, it does mean there are probably better companies out there to give your business to who won't take so long to get you your glasses.
Answer: It depends on the frame. Some are plastic, some are metal, and there are other materials used as well. The descriptions will indicate the materials they are made out of. I've ordered 3 pairs from EBD ($6 and $9 pairs--cheapest there are) and they are excellent quality. An equivalent pair of frames alone from the store would have cost $150+, not including lenses.
Answer: I received two pairs very quickly but was very disappointed when i put them on only to find out the prescription was completely wrong. There are no refund or exchange directions in your website or with the packaging, so I did not know the number to call. Please get in touch with me asap about exchanging the glasses for ones with the correct lenses. Thank you very much. My name is Ellen Mazzeo Larkfield road East norport, ny Phone: 917-763-0092 I the glasses came without any paperwork and I do not have the order number that was originally used on both pairs. I bought them within this past month or so. (This is after returning a pair that I sent back for the same problem(. Please call me or email me so I can figure out how to correct this error. Or please send me your customer service phone number that I can talk to someone live. Thank you. Emazzeo
