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.

Loved my new sunglasses. They were exactly what I want and a great price.
It was relatively easy. I hope the glasses are right! Lol

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
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!
Great website and many affordable selections here.

It wasn't great, it wasn't bad, it was ok
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.

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!
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 ordered from your company it was very easy. My 2 pairs of glasses came very quick. Great way to get glasses.
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 love the way that you can see what you will look like in the glasses. There's so many choices, but it's easy to navigate.

The product arrived in 2 days as they said, the glasses are just perfect
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.
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!
Great product and service. So pleased that I just bought another pair!
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
