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.

Progressive sunglasses
August 11, 2022
Updated review

It was hard to find what the sizing should be of Small to Large, e.g. It took me a bit of selecting to see that each frame had different sizing. Some in my size were mediums, others larges.
After receiving the glasses, I am very happy with the fit and quality.

Great Glasses.
August 10, 2022

The glasses I received were a great quality. They arrived fast and were reasonably priced. I liked them better than the ones I bought from the eye doctors office. They were only a fourth of the price I paid at the eye doctors office

Good
August 9, 2022

I ordered two things, they fit perfectly, look good, arrived within their quoted time, and shorter then expected, I was informed throughout the process when they received my order, when they were making them, and when they shipped them, the glasses are of good quality, and FAR cheeper then anything you would get at an eye doctor.

Selection
August 9, 2022

In general, I'm happy with EyeBuyDirect, but I often find that they either don't have the style I want (round light tortoise shell) or if they do, they don't have my size (medium). The St. Michele (my fourth pair) is OK, but I'm ready for a change. I must be hopelessly out-of-date since I'm not ready for the brightly colored glasses yet. I would still recommend that a friend try EBD just in case they have what she wants.

Even though these frames are the same size as my current glasses that fit very well, these glasses look tiny and awkward on my face. I'm not a fan at all.

Better second time around.
August 9, 2022

Love this purchase. Ordered sunglasses a few months ago but ordered size L. They are a bit too big and slide. These are a M and fit perfectly. So much better. Glad I gave it another try.

I used EyeBuyDirect to buy a backup pair of glasses. The lenses are absolutely perfect - and my prescription is quite complex, I got progressive lenses. I couldn't be happier.

The price is amazing. Even for progressives, it was a tiny fraction of what I paid at my optometrist.

The frames are noticeably lower quality than name-brand. They're more than adequate for a backup pair, but I do wish EyeBuyDirect offered mid-range frames that are closer to the same quality as premium frames, but at a more moderate price.

Other than that, no complaints at all!

Good Product, Reasonable Price!
August 7, 2022

I love my EyeBuyDirect glasses... I was a little bit sad that one of the lenses already popped out in one of the frames on the 2nd day wearing them. But I love my rx sunglasses!

Very pleased
August 6, 2022

My experience with Eye Buy Direct was a pleasure. My glasses fit great and the price was a great savings compared to what I would have paid in a doctor's office.
Thank you so much.
