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.

Virtual try on was not accurate when order was received
When choosing a frame the 'try on' feature can be trying. With images I was providing- 'no face found in this picture' came up frequently.
I have had problems finding a frame with this purchase, and the agents have been very helpful with my transaction
Good product, I recommend this glasses. Good quality and shipping very fast
Easy to select frames with try on feature. If the end result is satisfactory I will be ordering more.
I've ordered many pairs of glasses from this site, and I'm never disappointed.
The quality and accuracy of my order was excellent. I did not expect that the sunglasses I got for free with my order were so high quality. This is my second time ordering glasses and I it is great!
Ese estilo de espejuelos me gusta. Es el segundo par que tengo. El primero se me rompió cuando mi nietecita me fue a dar un beso. La pata derecha del espejuelo se cayó. Eran relativamente nuevos, fue una mala experiencia.
Eye Buy Direct is the best! I 100% recommend them to everyone as the go to shop for eye wear!
Love the selection and price. I bought three pairs!
I'd rather not say. Check my email responses and note my position.
This was the first time that I been to have new glasses and my oid glasses is two years I'm love to purchase again.
I liked a colleague's glasses, so she recommended I try eyebuydirect instead of buying frames from my eye doctor. I saved money, time and they look great!
Website could be a little easier to navigate but overall positive experience. Quality is satisfactory, no fit or lens issues on a 4 pair buy. Only negative was the uber complicated and overwhelming # of discount email offerings. It seems like the goal is to make it so difficult that customers give up or suboptimize. Scrap that and simply offer a % discount that applies to the entire order even if it is a lower %, otherwise it smacks of bait and switch badly and makes the company seem like it lacks integrity...not worth it.
Better than average---good---satisfied with order---will order again---
I was a little leery of ordering my prescription reading glasses online, but Wirecutter recommended Eyebuydirect and it worked out well. My optometrist was willing to give me a copy of my Rx, but I had to call back to get my pupillary distance. A little awkward, since it was obvious that I was requesting the info to buy elsewhere. Happy with the price and the product.
Love it! Always an easy process ordering online. There are so many different selections to choose from. Using the try online feature is pretty cool. Also love that you can upgrade your lens or keep them simple
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
