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.

Good glasses! But the materials for less expensive glasses don't hold up as well as they should i feel. This is the second time ive had a pair of glasses snap on me, and i'm assuming it's the plastic not being able to keep up with the wear and tear and cleaning routine i use. I do really love my glasses though and hope maybe bringing light will help?
I received my glasses and wore them for a couple of days. I had a headache after wearing while driving. And I could not seem to focus them while reading. Returned, waiting for refund.
Some glasses I've ordered from here are more sturdy than others but I ordered two pairs and one pair literally broke like a week after I bought them. I I emailed eyebuydirect and never heard back. Upsetting.
I tried to re-order a pair of glasses from an old order. Unfortunately, they were out of the frame color that I'd previously ordered. The same frames were available still, but I needed to just change to one of the colors still available. Unfortunately, the on-line re-order process isn't smart enough to create a nice copy of the order, and just allow easy selection of a frame color that's available. SO, I had to completely create a new order, trying to remember all of the other details that worked well from my previous order. Worked-out fine (I think/hope), but definitely something that could be improved upon.
I've been using EBD for over 9 years +.
The key is measuring your existing frames and use that as your guide for your purchases.
When I get compliments on my frames I always tell them the website or to download the app to check out the various selections.
I ordered for my boyfriend. There was a delay getting them. I called 2 c if I could pay 2 have them overnight. They told me no. However I received them in the mail 2 days later! Thank u! He says out of 4 times the same script has been filled, the 1 time we had EBD craft them, his vision is the best he has experienced! =)
Choosing frames is so easy with the ability to "try on" glasses though my camera or with a picture. With my prescription in hand (or pulled from my insurance carrier), ordering is so easy. Best part is the affordability!
Called the 800 number but they could not find my insurance to apply to the order. I gave my Member ID but there were not able to find it so I can apply it.
I've been a loyal EBD customer for a decade! I love the quality and wide range of their styles and most of all the affordability. So easy to switch up my style!
The variety of frames, quality, prices, and lens choices couldn't be better! I recommend eyebuydirect to everyone who needs glasses. I also appreciate how easy the website is to navigate and the amazing sales that you have.
I buy glasses every few years until they fall apart. Eyebuy has been my go-to for a decade. Literally I bought my first pair in 2015 and I just purchased my latest in 2025. I just wish the Denny was still made in tortoise. The Denny might be greatest bang for your buck glasses ever made. Very affordable. Lightweight. Not too big, not too small. Great with black or brown photochromics. At least they still have the black frames. Check em out. I'm trying Ray-bans this time so I'll see what the high life feels like!
I went to use either of those sites to pay and it always brings me back to eyebuydirect and says, "Your shopping cart has been updated, please refresh the page before checking out." now it looks like my credit card was charged 3 times but they all came through at once..
I have bought multiple pairs of glasses from this site! My son didn't have his last pair for a month and they broke! I turned in a claim and it was never responded to or fixed! He needs glasses so I just bought another cheaper pair!
Easy ordering at the comfort of your home and easy returns. Online try on may not look as in real life but can easily return if not a good fit so no worries.
I have been ordering from EyeBuy Direct for more than 5 years. I always get what I ordered in a reasonable time frame. Their products are half the price of the eye doctor's.
I hate going in to the optometrist and spending 600+ on glasses! I didn't ask to be born with poor eyesight! It feels like a shame to charge someone so much just so that they can see!
I always share where I get my glasses when I get compliments because I do not gatekeep! I really love all of my glasses! I have ordered for my whole family! I like the range and quality of glasses! I've even had great experiences with customer service when an order didn't work out for me.
I purchased a few different frames and did the replacement/refund process. This last pair has my vision distorted and it's giving me a headache. I tried to live chat but was told refund not an option anymore. I didn't realize that the 14 day return no questions asked statement only applies to the original order. So now I had to purchase yet another pair of glasses that hopefully I will be able to actually see with. I'm highly disappointed I'm stuck with these. I'm a healthcare professional and I have to look at screens for my job. With distorted vision it's difficult and I have patient lives depending on my sight.
This is my third pair of glasses from ya'll and every time it's such a breeze! It's cheap, good quality, and super convenient. I always recommend this website to anyone who wears prescription eyeglasses.
I have bought countless pairs of glasses from EyeBuyDirect and keep coming back! I love the style selection, quality, and discounts. Also, like they you can use your insurance. Highly recommend EBD!
The first pair I ordered just didn't look good on me. The color was all wrong for my face. I called and asked if I could return them and no questions asked, they started the process. I was asked if I wanted to try a different pair of glasses. I had picked out another pair. I was given an additional 15% discount. It was easy to return the original pair and I got the second pair very quickly. I love the new pair. I will definitely buy from Eyebuydirect again!
My first experience was so easy, and I loved my glasses. So now that its time for new glasses, of course I came back here!
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
