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.

Delayed Delivery
February 3, 2021
Updated review

I was disappointed to learn that my glasses were not going to be delivered within the time frame given. I would not have been so irritated if an update regarding delivery had been sent to me. When tracking my order, 'in transit, arriving late' was indicated for at least two weeks. When I called customer service, I have to be honest, the company location being in Texas and having a Chinese representative speaking very broken English made communication very difficult for me. The rep also indicated to me she was not able to locate my purchase because the product left the facility and they cannot track it. So customer service was annoying to me. I did receive my glasses but it took much longer than the company claimed it would take and they did not claim responsibility.

Delayed delivery

The glasses were a good price and with the virtual try on feature I had a good idea what to expect, the delivery was delayed however which was very disappointing.

Overall Pleased
January 4, 2021

It was easy to select and purchase glasses and they arrived quickly. I did have some issues with the reflection on the lenses and needed to upgrade the lens to help that issue.

Don't hesitate to purchase from here!

Updated review

I am thrilled with my new glasses! First, I searched online at other sites and always send them back because I did not like the frames. These are quality frames, they have an app that assists you with finding your prescription and I needed that because my doctor stopped taking my insurance. Of course my doctor wouldn't give me my information so if it wasn't for this app I would never know. I am thrilled with my new glasses!

I use them while I'm driving at night. It was quick and very simple process at checkout. Thank you! I have no problem coming back to your website.

Nice frames, but fogs instantly
January 4, 2021

I loved my frames, they fit just perfect, but the lenses fog immediately as you put them on. I have other frames from a different store that don't fog like that.

One out of two

I am having a problem with one of the two pair of glasses that I received. I am not sure if the lenses are different diopters or Some other problem with the optics. I am considering returning them.
