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 like EyeBuyDirect, because I can order several glasses, to match my style, work (professional), social event, casual day (everyday use), or even a beach day, without breaking the bank. The quality of the glasses is great, and survive the year-long of the prescription.
The fit is good - the progressive lens are more like bifocals and hard to adjust,
This has been by far the easiest experience I have had shopping for prescription glasses. Love the "Try On" feature! It actually works unlike other online spectacle retailers. I have five specs from you guys and each prescription has come out perfectly. Keep up the great work!
I was really impressed with the ease of shopping for glasses from the web. The ability to virtually try them on to see what they look like was very helpful in making a choice.
Customer service is top-notch! I love the selection of glasses and they are all very affordable. They support charities, have loyalty perks, and I will keep coming back for even more. Purchased a boatload of prescription glasses and cute sunglasses. Love this place. Very satisfied customer!
Customer service is great—quick and responsive. Wish I could say the same about the product. First pair broke after a few weeks—left arm just snapped in to. Replacement pair looked so cheap. Thankfully, they allowed an exchange. Holding the third pair is the charm.
I'd never bought prescription glasses online so I was a little skeptical about how they'd fit, and the overall quality. I got 2 pairs and I love them. I picked out my prescription sunglasses first and then found some prescription glasses named "KAT" (which is my name) so I bought these out of impulse(BOGO sale so I thought why not) Let me say, I do NOT regret the impulsive buy at all. I will be ordering again in the future!
Easiest experience I've ever had buying glasses online and I love these glasses!
This was my first experience buying glasses online. The process was quick and easy. I even understood how to enter my prescription. Gonna use again.
Good customer service and great products. Very happy!
Received a wrong prescription, immediately notified and they sent the corrected prescription immediately.
Easy to use site but difficult to determine quality of glasses. Shipping took a long time.
I had to be patient for them to be ready. But I'm very satisfied with the result. The frame is sturdy and I love the design.
Prompt easy to use service. I was impressed with the quality of my new glasses
Wasn't sure if they would work as I have a complicated (progressive) prescription but they are great!
Ordering was great, great selection of frames, great price, they made sure my prescription was correct before making my order. Loved that for me.
Great experience ordering a spare pair of glasses for my boyfriend. They are great quality for the price!
I reordered a pair of glasses because mine broke. It was just like the original one. I always value the quality of service from EyeBuyDirect.
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
