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.

Very happy
December 17, 2020

This was the second order I placed with EyeBuyDirect, and I have absolutely loved everything. The styles fit my face so well and ordering is so easy! This time, I opted for blue light protection lenses on one pair and sunglasses tinted lenses on the other and both are wonderful. I was so excited for the Collab with Tan France and I purchased the St. Michele pair, and I love them.

It was very easy to shop for glasses. Have noticed my one pair of white rimmed glasses don't seem quite right when I look thru them.

Did not meet my expectations
January 16, 2021

I ordered glasses and from the day they were marked shipped I received them 16 days later. I paid for antireflective coating. However, they reflect everything to point that you can probably see what website I'm on in my glasses. I wanted to return them, however that was not an option because I received them outside the window for returns due to my military shipping address. Fortunately I was offered to exchange the glasses so I did for a slightly less expensive frames.

Love their glasses
December 17, 2020

4 stars bcus we can't seem to get the sizes right for my 12 year old. Either too big or too small. Quality is definitely 5 stars. Wish there was more guidance on picking the correct size.

Don't order from them!
January 16, 2021

Original order placed mid November Frames came withing 5 days of ordering. Frames did not fit. Replacement frames chose and paid the remainder balance. Replacement frames did not ship though when I called they told me over and over again they were in the final stages and will be shipped within the 14 days. It's December 16 and I am still waiting for replacement frames. When I email they keep sending the same reply "final stages" called finally and they assure me they will be here Dec 23 but have not been shipped yet (we will see). Offered a 10% discount for my troubles. It's not good enough. Don't waste your time and money.

Great glasses at a great price.
December 17, 2020

This was my first experience buying glasses online and I was skeptical that the progressives I wear would be made with same quality as some of my previous glasses made local to me. I was wrong! I bought 2 pairs at a fraction of the cost of what I normally would. Upon arrival, I did not care for the fit of one of the frames and the other pair was slightly damaged in transit, so I reordered the broken pair. I was going to ask for a refund for the other pair, but decided to try a different style and was credited another 15% off by EyeBuyDIrect! Great customer service, prompt return and reorder and I'm so happy with both of my new pairs now. Great selection of frames. I am telling all my friends to try EyeBuyDirect.

EyeBuyDirect Review
December 17, 2020

My overall experience with eyebuydirect was great. Besides the shipping which took way too long in my opinion the quality of the frames are great ESPECIALLY the price. Another "con" I could say would be the select frames that I can only choose from. Because of my prescription I can't pick out some of the frames that I was really looking forward to try.

Love these glasses
December 16, 2020
Updated review

The first pair I ordered did not look good on. However, eyebuydirect replaced them with a pair I do like without any hassle! I am pleasantly surprised —since I was expecting some push-back since there was nothing "wrong" with them except the way they looked on my face. Very pleased with the whole experience!
