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.

The photo app that lets you see how the glasses will look kept distorting but 1/3 cost of storefront.

EyeBuyDirect offers an easy way to choose from a vast selection of glasses. I like the fact that you can try on each pair virtually until you feel comfortable with your choice. Added to the comfort of shopping at home for your glasses, the prices are GREAT! What a far cry from the high prices in the retail stores. Can't wait to get my first pair!

While shopping for the glasses, the website was very user friendly in finding the right sizes, and the right style with the bar that allows you to narrow the search results. Very simple to use, not to mention that the prices were competitive compared to some other sites.

Frame selection and sizes are very good! The glasses hold up very well after 2 years of wearing. The customer support is excellent! And, they always have the best prices with the offers I get from them in my e mail. I just ordered my 7th pair!

I love your prices and selection of styles but these glasses just do not hold up. I'm on my third pair in a year. First pair lost an arm, screw still intact. The second pair had a random crack in the bottom of the rim and the lenses popped out. For the price I'll continue to order because my insurance covers it, but if I was paying out of pocket I would not purchase from here.

Sooooo much cheaper to buy prescription glasses and sunglasses on EyeBuyDirect than at an eye glasses store. I saved over $300 this year as opposed to buying glasses and sunglasses 2 years ago.

Deceiving
April 23, 2019

They were great to work with, at the beginning.

I need to return glasses. I did not like the style and the prescription was not correct.

They said, in an email, i could have a one time replacement. They never informed me that it was a replacement OR return.

So i replaced. After sending them a picture of my prescription my new glasses prescription was still not right.

I simply wanted to return. They told me i had lost my chance in returning as i had already replaced.

If i knew it was one or the other i would of returned.

Now i am out 90$

Unless if you think you'll LOVE the style i would never buy from them again.

They will lie to you.
April 23, 2019

I ordered a pair of glasses (black with silver metal) it showed up and it was blavk with gold metal. I called and explained that the photo on their site showed silver metal. They blamed it on my computer screen. I picked out a different pair with the representative on the line and they assured me that it had silver metal. I need these glasses for my daughters wedding in 4 days. They showed up today and they had glod metal.
They had the gall to ask me if I was sure it was gold. They then told me that they cant guarantee what color the metal will be on a pair of glasses. The representative today (when I asked what they were going to do to compensate me for their mistake and that I was relying on them to get the glasses that I wanted/needed for my daughters wedding) told me he couldn't authorize compensation. I asked to speak to his supervisor then. He then said he could offer me 30% off on my next purchase and (despite just telling me he can't guarantee any color) that he would make sure Igot the color I wanted. Horrible service. To have them LIE to me or anyone is an outrage!
