EyeBuyDirect.com sells prescription eyeglasses and frames, as well as sunglasses.
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.
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...
Don't have one yet not till after I receive my glasses I can't give a review on something I haven't experienced yet
Great quality at a great price... this is the only place that I buy my glasses and I have never been disappointed... also great shipping. Thank you for helping me see the beauty of the world!
So easy to use web site, I will recommend to all friends and relatives who wear prescription glasses. Prices are unbeatable.
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 ordered a pair of glasses a couple months ago and decided to order more for variety :) very affordable and good quality products
I have used this company three times and have enjoyed the experience each time. They are fast and eager to ensure your glasses work for you.
Wow, so easy to use. I learned so much about my eye's all those crazy numbers + and - what they mean. Very impressive site with amazing prices! Can't wait to get my glasses I just ordered them tonight. Thank you
Website made ordering very easy. The selections offered were great - lots to choose from. Looking forward to receiving the 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.
I always enjoy buying from this website! Their customer service is great and I love the options for kids frames!
Will use again, easy to use, prices are excellent and a lot of frames to choose from. Ordered two pairs one for a spare.
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.

Super easy and customer friendly. Has great customer service and very high quality products. Definitely will continue to order from this site.
Decided I needed more than $1.00 sunglasses this summer. Yes, truly I have been using $1 sunglasses!
Answer: Or you can be like me and have not received your order after more than a month of waiting. Granted, I'm in Guam, but given that the USPS works here pretty much the same way it works in the states, no other retailer has any problem getting their packages to me in a timely manner. The company has sent me two different tracking numbers for the same package. The tracking report from the post office says the package was supposed to be here 12 days ago and the last time it appears the package was scanned was 24 days ago. I have emailed the company multiple times and every time they reply with some generic apology and continue to stall. The package clearly got lost in the mail, I get that and I am typically a reasonable person but any respectable merchant intent on providing good customer service in today's online marketplace would have owned up to the issue and offered a refund or have already shipped out a replacement product. They've done neither. Does it mean they are bad people running a bad business? Probably not. However, it does mean there are probably better companies out there to give your business to who won't take so long to get you your glasses.
Answer: It depends on the frame. Some are plastic, some are metal, and there are other materials used as well. The descriptions will indicate the materials they are made out of. I've ordered 3 pairs from EBD ($6 and $9 pairs--cheapest there are) and they are excellent quality. An equivalent pair of frames alone from the store would have cost $150+, not including lenses.
Answer: I received two pairs very quickly but was very disappointed when i put them on only to find out the prescription was completely wrong. There are no refund or exchange directions in your website or with the packaging, so I did not know the number to call. Please get in touch with me asap about exchanging the glasses for ones with the correct lenses. Thank you very much. My name is Ellen Mazzeo Larkfield road East norport, ny Phone: 917-763-0092 I the glasses came without any paperwork and I do not have the order number that was originally used on both pairs. I bought them within this past month or so. (This is after returning a pair that I sent back for the same problem(. Please call me or email me so I can figure out how to correct this error. Or please send me your customer service phone number that I can talk to someone live. Thank you. Emazzeo
