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.

Have to move on from this company
August 28, 2022

Out of four orders, this company sent me ONE good pair of glasses. They screwed up the prescription 3 times. The first time, they reversed the minus (-) and put a (+) for the prescription, so those were way off. After getting the next one right, I decided a bit later on another pair. I requested that they use the exact same prescription as the one good pair they sent me. I tried twice, and they messed up both pairs. They even had the nerve to suggest that my prescription would change. I had to remind them that, if that were true, the pair I have been wearing would also be wrong. I give up. I gave them an honest shot. I would rather pay a little more and have it correct.

Quick Service and Great Quality

My son was in an accident and while in the hospital he needed glasses. The hospital recommended we place an order with EyeBuyDirect. The order came right away! And my son loves his stylish new glasses!

Customer Service

Customer Support was fantastic, much more helpful than my typical experience with other stores. They got me the right glasses quickly without any hassle and made sure I was able to get back to seeing perfectly.

Extremely slow to ship

The product is great but the time to receive the item leaves me contemplating if I will ever buy another pair from you.

My daughter went away for a couple of weeks. She received the glasses. Within a day or two, the lenses were loose.
Very unhappy about the first time we purchase from EyeBuyDirect

As the second time choosing eyewear, this was an easy process. I first checked the previous eyewear I'd bought to confirm what size my glasses were, then filtered my search according to my size and shape of preference. I narrowed down my search and used the site's software to try on the glasses virtually. It is a little faulty as sometimes the glasses appear way bigger or smaller than they really are, however I got an accurate fit by messing with the PD. My last resource were the review photos left by customers to get an idea of what the glasses actually looked like in real life. A satisfying process, really.

Price and delivery were a little more unsatisfactory however. I bought two frames, one new and one that I had already brought before. The new frames I bought with regular shipping time. However, this time the frames that I already owned were available only for 2-day-delivery, thus were marked at a higher price. I had no problems with this higher price and expected my 2-day-delivery frames to arrive earlier than the new frames I'd ordered. Instead, they both arrived on the same day. This kind of disappointed me because it defeated the purpose of paying the mandatory $19 extra as the shipment time for both frames ended up being the same. Thus, instead of 5 stars, I give the shipment 4 stars. Otherwise, no problems. Package arrived in great condition and there were no visible scratches on the glasses. Love the glasses and will continue buying and recommending.

Good products at a great price
July 28, 2022

I've purchased eyeglasses from eyebuydirect for several years. I like the value and the fact that since it saves so much money, I'm able to have several pairs. I have recommended eyebuydirect to many people and I have heard no negative comments.

SUPERIOR
July 28, 2022

THE BEST PART WAS THE EXCELLENT SERVICE THAT I RECEIVED FROM YOUR STAFF. THEY WERE VERY COURTIOUS, VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND HELPFUL IN EVERY WAY. UNFORTUNATELY I HAD TO RETURN THE FIRST PAIR BECAUSE THEY TURNED OUT TO BE TOO BIG FOR MY FACE AND FELL OFF AND THE LENSE GO CHIPPED. I CALLED TO RETURN THEM AND A REPLACEMENT PAIR IS ON THEIR WAY WITH NO HASSEL AND ABSOLUTRLY NO EXPENSE EXPENSE INCURRED. I AM RECOMMENDING EBD TO EVERYONE I KNOW THANKS

They read my Rx very well. I was afraid it would be wrong but I haven't had any issues. I paid half of what I normally pay.

Great price
July 28, 2022

I received glasses with a new prescription, but the prescription just didn't work for me. EBD was so great and allowed me to return the glasses and waited for me to get a new prescription and then sent out my new pairs with the updated prescription. Super easy and great customer service.

Smooth sailing, just wish that the $19 glasses didn't have such a price difference in the same lenses. Was cheaper to buy the more expensive frame?
