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.

Good online shopping. I would always like things a bit lower priced.

Love all the options for narrowing down the search. Couldn't get the camera to work on my laptop, but I'm sure that's user error

The Virtual Try-On function would not work during my decision process, but the website itself was still appealing.

I have gone to 3 pairs of broken frames. They just cracked unexpectedly. EyebuyDirect is always willing to replace, but they take forever to process and after the third pair and now out of warranty, i have to buy a whole new pair. Also the lenses developed stress marks in the coating making them unusable. For a spare set that would last the warranty w/out daily use, you can't beat the price, but is not for active everyday wear.

I have bought glasses from EyeBuyDirect for years and have always been pleased. I tried another online provider, but their frames were terrible, so I came back. This summer, after my yearly eye exam, I placed an order for new glasses. I made a mistake when I put the information from my new prescription in my order. The staff at EyeBuyDirect caught my mistake and helped me get it straight. The customer service was way above the call of duty! It's truly amazing when you get the kind of value that this company gives you AND great customer service!

So many options, but it can be hard to figure out which sizes will fit your face well. But they're far cheaper than ones at the eye doctor so I'll take the risk!

Yearns you for More
September 5, 2019

My favorite frames couldn't have transitions (SGs only), so I bought those polar
And my 2nd favorite as my daily. Process was pretty quick and their selection is near-limitless. Def recommend using their guide on head shapes+types of glasses

This is a great bargain website for prescription lenses. As a bargain site, there are not as many options for customer service and speed, however anytime I have had an issue EyeBuyDirect has addressed it and fixed it. I have been a customer of the site since 2013 and am currently ordering my fourth pair of glasses from them. I have always been happy with my glasses and found great deals. It will take up to two weeks for the order to arrive, but in my experience that has been the same at any brick and mortar store as well.

I loved my last pair, but with a new pair i have to go elswhere if i want a choice. The site should show frames that can acommodate the script. You spend a lot of time picking a frame, only to find that none fit the script? You may have a wide selection of frames, but i can't find one to purchase! You should invest in more inventory of index sizes.

Easy to order!
September 3, 2019

Within a matter of five minutes my order was in! Super easy to save account info. I do wish you offered more sizes for each pair of glasses. There were a few I really liked but I knew they would be to large!

These glasses are really fashionable and for a very reasonable price. I used to get glasses I only kind of liked for $200-$300 while here I can get stylish prescription glasses AND sunglasses for less than $100.
My one flaw I have with the company is that there isn't a warranty for the glasses and they're on the flimsy side. But I usually chuck my glasses in a soft case and they get roughed up in my bag so that could explain some of the issue.
In general, if you're on a budget like I am and you want stylish glasses (SERIOUSLY I get complements all the time!) I highly recommend this site.
