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.

Not the best quality but okay for the price. I'd recommend saving up and going to your optometrist or a store in person if you can. If you don't have the resources around you, this works instead.
Was better than alternative online glasses sites
Fits our face well. Quality looks good as of now. Will update review after using the product on a daily basis
I love my new glasses. I do wish the virtual try on were a bit more accurate. But thank you for an excellent affordable product. I recommend eye buy direct to all my friends.
I have been getting my glasses here for several years now and keep coming back. Excellent quality, wonderful price
The frames are great, delivery was fast and safe. I ordered the progressive lenses but it is difficult to see distances because the farsighted lense portions are too large for me and encroach on my field of vision unless I move my head up more than is convenient to me in my job.
Everything was super easy to find and the tips/guides were super helpful!

Very easy to understand, cheap, great quality, deliver was a bit slow but other than that amazing!
I'm used to going and trying on numerous frames. Getting to see them on, feel their weight, durability, etc. this was a leap of faith. I bought 2 pair of glasses, one pair I really like and one pair For back up. I miss having someone helping with the fit but I've been at this for years so I made it work. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase.
Love my glasses.
My dog ate them today. She loved them too!
Reordered the same ones... Thanks
Easiest way to order glasses. I purchased 4 pair (2 sunglasses, 2 bifocals) for the price of 1 at my local optometrists. Quality is excellent. Customer Service is terrific. All my family and friends now use EyeBuyDirect.
Since its a pandemic, I forgive the 5 week wait. For the price it was worth it but the lenses done deemt to be made correctly. No line bifocal and I cannot read with them on. My prescription is current so I don't knjw what happened. I like the no frame glasses that I choose. The lenses are light weight for the strong prescription I need done.
Easy! But would appreciate a more durable case other than a cardboard box
Eyeglasses that I ordered were amazing! I waited a little longer than usual for shipping, most likely due to the holidays! Still very satisfied with my products.
I love using the website - it's user friendly and it's great that you can "try on" the glasses! This really helped me decide what I was going to get!

The in person eyeglass stores here in NYC always tell me buying glasses online is a huge mistake. They claim poor quality of lenses but EyeBuyDirect has never let me down. Ever.
I love my glasses, other people LOVE my glasses. I can't go anywhere without getting a compliment and I love that they aren't the same ones everyone else has from Warby. To get my progressives, with a prism, and all the other things I need at these prices is an amazing amazing deal!
I found it difficult to order. Although I chose gun meal frames they are a very light color.
I love eyebuydirect. Took a bit longer to arrive than expected but that's no fault towards eyebuydirect.
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
