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.

So far so good. Other than the nose type eye pads I selected I think they are just as good as anything I ever purchased from my eye doctor. I highly recommend EyeBuyDirect

It took time!
February 19, 2021

Overall I love the glasses. But it took time from the order to the product being received. I did always get a response to my concerns and I appreciate that very much. Perhaps because of the time over Christmas, delivery times were longer. I am very happy with having them arrive and now able to wear them. Thank you!

Glasses review
February 19, 2021
Updated review

My lenses get very smudged and it's very hard to clean. The one temple came loose after only having the glasses for two weeks. Would probably not shop here again.

So easy to order frames! Seeing images from other reviewers really helps see how the glasses fit and helps narrow down a good-fitting pair.

Great quality for a reasonable price.
January 19, 2021
Updated review

The site is very user friendly, with many frame options. Prices are extremely reasonable, especially for someone who wears progressive lenses. I was very pleased with the online experience, as well as with the speed with which my glasses arrived. The glasses themselves were sturdy, prescription was correct, and I have no complaints. Would definitely recommend!

Size confusion

Updated review

The app needs some work, but overall it is a simple process. I purchased two pairs of glasses, one of which wasn't what I expected based on my measurement, picture, or size selection. Overall, good buy.

I was a first time buyer of online prescription glasses. EyeBuyDirect had a very informative process that assuaged my concerns and resulted in an easy experience. They offered a varied and unique selection of frames. Their virtual try-on is a feature I appreciated and helped my decision-making process.

An easier way to compare options from the shipping cart would be an appreciated feature.

I got two glasses and they're better than if I walked into my eye doctor-the price for two was worth it, plus the expedited shipping.

Import taxes miscalculated
February 18, 2021

I had my glasses shipped to me in Spain. Any item under 45€ shouldn't have additional import taxes. My package was Worth $33, far less than €45, yet the claimed value of the package read €45.26. So when my super cheap glasses got to my door, the delivery person explained I now owed an additional €28 in taxes. These numbers aren't exact as it's been a few weeks, but it was 98% of my original order price and shipping. Which is insane. Especially for a mismarked value on the package. I don't know who is responsible for this mistake, but it's what happened to me. If you can fix this sort of error if the future, please do so. Thank you!
