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.

I've searched so many stores in my country but sadly there were not much options. I liked the option variety of your store and bought two glasses.

I ordered two pairs, one from Zenni, another from EyeBuyDirect. I was disappointed in how much transition lenses cost on your site. I'm less inclined to buy from you because the cost is so high.

Over the course of 6 months I purchased 3 pair of glasses. The first pair came in perfect although I do not like the look. I held them beyond the return date so I was not able to return them. I ordered 2 more pair using the same Rx. When they came in I could not see through either of them. The Rx on these were not only different from the original Rx but they were different from each other in the same order.
I did get a refund, short of the $1.96 shipping insurance.

Perfect pair for perfect vision
May 26, 2023

Very easy process to order prescription glasses or sunglasses. Great deals on lenses and branded frames. Very affordable. If you are willing to try their online trial by uploading photos, you can save 100s of dollars by not going to a physical store

14 Day "Warranty"
June 25, 2023

When you order a pair of glasses and need to send them back because they don't work, they rush you a second pair to fix it. That's great! But if it still doesn't work, you're now outside of the 14 day warranty that only covers the first pair of glasses.

If you're an easy fit, this site is a great option. But if you're a little on the difficult side - prescription, style, don't know what you want - don't. You'll just waste your money buying glasses that don't work.

Understand: I'm part of the reason my experience was bad. I'm upset ONLY at the fact that it wasn't explained to me that the warranty was only good for 14 days after the first pair. I realize why they do it. It makes sense on a business level, but I'm upset with the fact that it wasn't explained or that I was too busy to read it. I feel duped right now and part of that is on me. I would have made a different decision had I realized and I'd be able to get a pair of glasses that might actually work instead of having to go through another year with glasses that give me migraines.

Buying and return policy
May 26, 2023

I purchased 2 pairs of regular glasses. I had to exchange one pair I bought because they were just too big for my face, but that process was super easy too and I am now waiting on my replacement ones I picked out. I have since ordered a couple pairs of sunglasses…excited to receive those in a couple days.

Got the order quick and on time, but there was a problem on my end so reordered a new one and now I'm still waiting for my new order to arrive, it's been quite a long time.
