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.

Easy and affordable
April 5, 2020

Honestly, I've been shopping on EyeBu Direct for years now because it saves me so much money. This time was no experience. The buy one get one sale for President's Day made it even more worth picking up two pairs, and the donations they make for you also mean you're doing a little extra good.

Return
April 5, 2020

I spoke to a representative on the phone and she said if I was unsatisfied I could return them within 14 days. Which usually means the goes back on the credit card. Since I believed that was the case I ordered a few pair to see which ones would look best and return the ones that don't. If I knew was that it only gets more credit then I would have only bought one or two pairs at a time.

Hard to read
April 5, 2020

The reading section is so small I have to turn my head to read a 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper. I had to send in a recorder with prescription and reading only.

Great glasses even better price!
April 5, 2020

I'm a daily contact wearer so my glasses are really just for night wear. I've been looking for a cheap but highly rated pair for a while and was SO HAPPY to find this EyeBuyDirect! Even with my hefty prescription the lenses were still very affordable! Thank you!

Pleasantly Surprised
April 5, 2020

Ordering was simple. The product was excellent, half of what I normally pay. I paid extra for speedy delivery and it was worth it. I would purchase again.

Great selection of glasses
April 5, 2020

I purchased three pairs of glasses. Two for my son and one for me. These were the first glasses my son had ever bought. The virtual try on of the glasses worked okay, but not perfectly, at least for him. He liked the frames so we bought them. They are both better than anticipated. One is black and the other light blue. Mine are tortoise shell and darker than I expected but still nice. Happily, the shipping and processing time was much quicker than other companies.

Always a good experience
April 5, 2020

I've used eyebuydirect for a few years and it's always a good experience. I wish that their BOGO was on the overall item and not just the frames, but even so the overall price isn't bad. I like that you can setup multiple prescriptions so you can get glasses for friends or family too

Excellent Product & Value
April 5, 2020

I was hesitant to order eye glasses online wondering if they would fit and lenses be correct. This pair I ordered was perfect fit and even better than ordering through an optical store. Thank you. I will be ordering again and again
