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.

I love that Eye Buy Direct has affordable, high quality glasses! They are fun, fashionable, and that way I can get several pairs!
I would only give three stars for this order, but I have had success in the past even to the point of five stars.
It took be two hours to complete the order. First, with IOS you cannot edit the order. I only wanted one pair, but two, three and four were added. Finally a chat person was able to erase the entire order and I started over.
Then, even though my credit card was on file, it was rejected: "invalid number." That problem may have been the result of an incorrect phone number although I've never seen that applied before to an order for any company, and besides I doubt they meant invalid phone number.:)
And finally on this form you can't submit it without the order number, and so I have to go my email to find out what it was.
In summary, the glasses are worth the trouble. And unlike many companies, they do publish all reviews.
The whole process of buying the glasses online was super easy. Once i get my glasses i can review more but so far so good!
You need to to look over everything before you finish you order. I found out to late I could have gotten and extra discount if I known where to look for it. In the pass years I think I've ordered at least 10 pairs of glasses.

While It was rather easy to place the order, it wasn't easy selecting glasses because you have lots of great frames/
I love ordering from you guys! Easy and cheap when needed, also the boxing is cute and simple. I love that there is a tool always included.
We couldn't be happier with this website. The ease of placing the order is great and they have so many options for frames. Way cheaper than at the Dr. office. We have ordered many extra pairs just because they are so cheap. I have turned many of my friends and family members on to this site.
This was really easy- love the tutorial and the prices are a lot cheaper than the eye doctor's office. I will continue to get my glasses from Eye Buy Direct
I always worried about ordering glasses on my own. So, I continued paying huge prices. Finally this year I took the plunge and I'm so glad I did. Now have the freedom to get whatever I want at hundreds of dollars less. Thank you EyeBuyDirect!
I purchased glasses online from other companies before so I was familiar with the process. I chose to purchase from eyebuydirect due to the very inexpensive glasses they have. The website is not the most user friendly and I found myself trying to navigate through different screens and clicking around a lot. It's not very intuitive. Hopefully I dont have to return the glasses because I read the customer service is not very good.
I love this website. I uploaded a photo of myself and tried on numerous frames. Found the one I liked and upload the prescription. When I received them in the mail I could not believe how good the quality was. I have progressive lenses and they were the best glasses I have ever gotten. I just ordered a second pair.
Good selection. Uses the PD number, which some sites did not provide for. I like being able to try on the glasses on my own face. Prior to this order I purchased a pair of progressive glasses from this site that are of very good quality build - even though I don't like the progressive lense and wish I had gone with the regular bifocals. The intermediate part of the progressive lense is distracting and does nothing for me. Live and learn. But I am back for some regular glasses and separate readers this time.
I love I buy direct, I have bought three pairs of glasses from them. Easy to shop and pay. Thank you
I found frames 51 mm tall, as I wanted. It is difficult to find this size. They would not offer the blue light filter on my prescription, so I will take the frames to Costco for the lenses.
Haven't gotten the glasses yet but the experience of buying them was super easy and enjoyable. Will post a true review when I have the glasses
I was hesitant about shopping through EyeBuyDirect, but you seriously cannot beat the price and the convenience. I would 100% order through them again!
I buy glasses for my whole family here. They work well and are durable! I would and do recommend this site to all my friends.
Easy shopping. Great discounts. Good glasses. I buy from eyebuydirect for my husband and I! I really love the styles they have. You can't get these in a stand alone shop.
I only buy glasses from this website. They have the most variety and fast shipping. Other eyeglasses sights are more difficult to navigate and not as good quality. I just ordered my 4th pair from EBD and I like them all.
Everything was fine! Until the choice of not getting the anti glare became a problem. I only wanted scratch protection. The discount code made the difference for the purchase

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
