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.

Great price - great selection
January 11, 2021

Much cheaper than what you'd find at the 'eye dr's office'. And a great fit too!

I know it is not the fault of Eyebuydirect but it took an extremely long time for my glasses to be delivered.

Returning glasses/painless!
January 11, 2021
Updated review

Customer service easy to work with, received new order the day I mailed the return. Will always buy from them.
I love EyeBuyDirect they make trying on glasses, painless and fun without having to hear, "I have to sanitize every pair you touch". Not to mention you don't have the pressure of hurrying.

Small lens scratch
January 11, 2021

I has acquired a small scratch on one lens, contacted eyebuy and they asked to send a photo and what happened? Immediately they were processing a new pair with quality assurance noted. Awesome customer service and NO B. S.!

Overall a very positive experience
January 11, 2021

Easy to make selections and 'try on' online before buying. With promotional offer, the glasses were a good value. I ordered 3 pair and like the quality of 2 our of the 3 - the others are already looking pretty beat up with fairly limited use

Great glasses
January 11, 2021

One of the glasses I purchased was perfect, the other could have used a bit more finishing on the nose bridge. Some plastic was half attached and should have been buffed off. The blue light coating is subtle and really helps with headaches. Great purchase!

Novice order by a non-online shopper
February 10, 2021

Went to site, found i could shop and didn't feel unfriendly. Placed order for 2 pairs but made a mistake on prescription entry which I only found out after getting glasses. I was. I called customer service expecting a difficult call but was surprisingly spared and as representative explained the issue with prescription entry (- instead of + 200) they said no problem it was covered by their 14 day return policy.! The representative helped me pick other frames and sent me a shipping label at no cost. Dropped off package at post office and waited about 14 day till the replacement order arrived. New order was correct and everything was as easy as open up, try on and off I went! It was good to learn that my mistake with this online shopping company didn't mean I was going to be taken advantage of monetarily. It made me trust EyeBuyDirect so I could buy additional product. That customer service representative was really great!

Frames are too big, great price!
January 11, 2021

Both frames I ordered look too wide for my face. On one frame the legs (?) Curve outwardly and they run against my ear, making them very uncomfortable to wear.

Great Glasses!
January 11, 2021
Updated review

Although the delivery time stated in the website was inaccurate and I had to wait longer to receive my glasses, that was the only snag in the process. Taking in to account the pandemic and holidays right around the corner delivery speed was okay. Overall I'm very satisfied and happy with both my frames and lenses. My lens prescription is VERY strong, we're talking +4.25, so finding thin demagnified lenses are the main goal in my search for lenses. EyeBuyDirect not only meets that goal but the quality of the lenses are spectacular and easy to keep clean for a price substantially lower than anywhere else making them extremely affordable. I love the virtual try on option because being able to see them on yourself is important before buying to make sure they fit your face. I don't particularly like wearing my glasses but these glasses I actually enjoy and look forward to wearing them and I've also received so many compliments. I will be using EyeBuyDirect for all my glasses needs and would definitely recommend them to anyone else searching for a great deal on good quality frames and lenses.

Dissatisfied
February 10, 2021

Although, I understand we are in the midst of a global pandemic, I would expected delivery times to be slightly delayed. But, I did not anticipate is that it would have taken seven weeks to receive my glasses. Moreover, when I did receive them the prescription was wrong. I ordered readers with a magnification of 175 but lenses are certainly not of that magnification. What I have is impossible to use. Today, my glasses are in the same box they came in and they are sitting on the top shelf of my closet — not being used. This has been fruitful learning experience and one I can say without hesitation, I will not be a return customer.
