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.

This was my second time ordering glasses from EyeBuyDirect. The first experience was much better than I expected, and so I came back to fill my new prescription. I liked the original frames, so I ordered the same ones. The only way people will know anything is different is that these are photochromic, so they're also sunglasses. I can hardly wait to try them on.

I can only give a review on the ordering process because I've just ordered and haven't received them yet. The ordering process was pretty simple and there is a great selection to choose from. I hope I am as pleased with the glasses as I am with the ordering process.

EyeBuyDIrect is the best! They have a large selection of glasses that are affordable. With OTHER online glasses websites, you have to spend hours deciding which frames to pick because of the lack of selection, but with EyeBuyDirect, they have the best glasses and chose my frame within seconds. The website is user friendly and spent less than 3 minutes because of the simplicity of the website. Recommend this website to anyone!
EyeBuyDirect made a long time customer out of me! Thank you, EyeBuyDirect!

Overall the website and its navigation are very user friendly and self explanatory. However, when you try to upload a photo, the photo box remains blank and the photo is not uploaded properly which was kind of awkward and frustrating. Because I needed to order ASAP as I was getting sick of my daughter's wishes / color selections etc. I ended up using my phone to place the order. Even when I try to upload my proof of purchase, had the same issue.

BOGO should be TRUE
June 18, 2019

I was drawn in by the BOGO offer only to learn I was snagged by the deal being only for the frames... I think that's very dishonest. Nevertheless, I decided to give you a try but only bought one pair of glasses... the sunglasses. I truly thought this was a genuine BOGO offer like other companies do, but it isn't. Read the small print carefully. I still don't know if I can return these if I don't like them.

Great place
June 18, 2019

My 25 yr old son is always losing or breaking his glasses, nothing to do with the frames. He can't take responsibility for his stuff. These are a great price for him. I like the buy 1 get 1. I put the extra pair up for him for the next time.

I've ordered so many glasses and have told so many people about Eye Buy Direct. I change them with outfits and don't feel super guilty if they get scratched up

This is my second order. I have a very strong prescription and was really happy to learn I could order tinted lenses that will work like sunglasses for me. A great way to use my HSA account!
