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.

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.

Quality and affordable prices
December 1, 2022

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!

Los espejuelos me aprietan la nariz.
December 1, 2022

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.

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!

Satisfied
November 30, 2022

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.

Satisfied former skeptic
November 30, 2022

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.
