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 needed some glasses, but my prescription was 2 years and 4 days old, which was just over the 2 year limit permitted for it to be valid. So, I hopped on this site and got a pair of glasses for $25. I was very happy, until I misplaced them at a night club. So I just bought 7 pairs of glasses for the price of 1 at my clinic.

I can't how happy I am, these glasses are great, arrive quickly, and are tailored to my specific needs. If you lose them, no big deal because you can buy a new pair of prescription glasses for $20... It's so much better than any alternative at least in the USA.

Easy and fast
April 10, 2019

Their site is very user friendly and I got a great deal on some glasses I have been looking to get for a while! I've never had glasses before, so their try on feature really helped me visualize what certain frames would look like in my face shape!

Love how the glasses are made and love that I can see them on me befor I buy them. I love how my glasses came in a hard box so the glasses did not get any scratches or brakes.

Unfortunately Eyebuydirect doesn't really provides a customer friendly shipping method for customers out uf US or Canada. I wanted to purchaise 7 items for my boyfriend and me but first of all it was not possible to purchase 7 items at one time. So their suggestion was to order 2 packages. But shipping fee was 57 $! I texted them several times to ask why shipping costs are so immensly high but they couldn't really get me an answer. They said for my destination it should be 29.90 or something. But well... it wasn't. So I really recommend ordering elsewhere...

This is my third visit to EyeBuyDirect. Tough to beat the prices. Tough to beat the selection. Tough to beat the ease of use of their website in placing an order. Those not getting discounts because of "codes not working" or some other reason, are what appears to me to be an inept computer/internet user. I always get more discounts than I expect. This is the place to get your glasses!

I have found every style or color or fashion pair of eyeglasses I've needed for last 6 years! Quality is the same as any leading frames I've ever purchased- don't waste your money overpaying for good glasses - buy here! I will!

When i was young i was always confused why glasses cost hundreds of dollars, considering they're mostly just plastic and cheap materials.

The rise of internet glasses shopping is life changing. No more anxiety about glasses breaking and not being able to afford a new pair for $300. No more having just one pair that i'll have to wear for 3+ years.

I've shopped around on a bunch of different websites, Eyebuydirect is my fav. I prefer them over Zenni (or warby parker, which imo kinda sucks).

10/10 will come here every time.

Glitchy on iPhone
April 8, 2019

I love the ease of ordering online and the try-on feature. I had some glitches while ordering on my iPhone and had to go home to my laptop to complete my purchase. This was not the case the first time I ordered back in July. Chat was not available, so I had to email my questions. It took several days of back and forth to figure out I wouldn't be able to use the iPhone this go around. Also, I received several coupon codes "Just for You" encouraging me to complete my purchase during this time, but none of them worked with the item in my cart.
