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.

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.

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.

Great
August 30, 2019

While It was rather easy to place the order, it wasn't easy selecting glasses because you have lots of great frames/

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.

Freedom and Value
August 30, 2019

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!

Inexpensive Glasses!
August 29, 2019

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.

So Convenient
August 29, 2019

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 found tall frames.
August 29, 2019

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.

I love EBD!
August 28, 2019

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
