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.

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

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 was hesitant about shopping through EyeBuyDirect, but you seriously cannot beat the price and the convenience. I would 100% order through them again!

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 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

Amazing!
August 28, 2019

This is my second time purchasing from this website and I've gotta say I never thought I could get beautiful glasses for such a reasonable price! I hate the ones they offer at my eye doctor's office and there is so little selection. But here there is so much selection you can't beat it! Highly recommend!

I Love EyeBuyDirect!
August 28, 2019

The frames are very stylish and the lenses are reasonably priced. I used to spend $$$ lots of money on my daughters and my glasses. I would only purchase one pair a year, but with EyeBuyDirect we now purchase several pairs for what once paid for one pair! I appreciate that the website is easy to navigate.

I like this website better than other online eyeglass shops because it'd easy for me to navigate. I've bought many pairs of glasses over the past few years but I have to admit I'm pretty hard on them. I can afford these glasses as a college student and like the styles I've chosen, though sometimes the colors are different than they appeared online. I also appreciate the style quizzes and the try-on function which allow you to make the right choice of frames before purchasing.
