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.

Awesome website! Eyebuy direct has allowed me to save hundreds on eye glasses that I would have totally spent had gone with my traditional optometrist!

Very easy to order with great quality product. I have made this my permanent spot to buy my daughter's glasses. She loves browsing the site and picking out the perfect frames for her style9. I highly recommend this site for all parents who need to purchase multiple pairs of glasses for their kids. There is a plethora of frames to choose from with tons of affordable prices.

I have been buying our family's glasses for several years through eyebyudirect.com. The quality is great, the website is easy to use, and the prices can't be beat! If you need glasses, this is a great way to go!

Best prices. Many different styles for all the ins and outs. Different colors, different features, different sizes(S, M & L). Super simple layout and easy to do yourself. Lots of information. Frames from $9-$70, for your broke people and your slurgy people(or someone like me, my bf is buying them for me with no spending limit, really) so I got some for $9 and some for $35. One of them has the light adjusting feature and it's my first time trying that so I'm very excited! They also come in these cute recycled material boxes and little bags, with an informational brochure as well! And today I got 20% off lenses and 30% off frames! An amazing deal. I'm always happy when using EBD!

Absolute nightmare
February 26, 2019

I spoke to a call center over and over. They took my payment. I was waiting for weeks. I tried to contact corporate. Which is impossible. Worst experience ever. They have my money for weeks now. They did send an email on Feb 12 asking for payment. Or course I disregarded It because I new the money left my account. So they have my money and now are asking me about my "Prism" which I gave over the phone weeks. This seemed like such a great deal with great styles etc. It's a nightmare that is STILL unresolved. Sorry but I must be honest. I hate to say these things in a review. Jeff sibille

Whoa!
February 26, 2019

This is super cool that I can upload a picture of my face and try on the glasses! Also, I love that I can buy a stylish pair of glasses that will protect my eyes! As a doctoral student and administrator, I get a ton of screen time. I want to save my eyes for the life I live outside of work and extend my health. Thank you! Will update once my order comes in!

It is quick and easy to use. It helps determine the size best for you nd great feature of trying on the glasses before purchasing via photo. I do wish they had more selection on smaller frames though

Love my new glasses!

Ordered glasses from this site a few weeks ago. They shipped out within a reasonable amount of time and are absolutely perfect. Ordering online was easy. Most affordable prices out there. Just ordered another pair.

Ordering is super simple. You can 'measure' the glasses you buy with an uploaded photo of yours. I once mentioned that my last glasses felt a little flimsy in a review and was promptly contacted that I get full credit to buy another pair of glasses.
Just ordered my 5th pair of glasses.

Easy & Affordable!
February 24, 2019

I can't believe how easy this is and the prices are amazing! I just got glasses for myself, my wife and my son. We even got a number of premium features and paid less than half of what my wife was quoted at Kaiser for just her glasses!

I have bought four pairs of glasses from eyebuydirect. I did buy one pair, that I had an issue with, and eyebuydirect refunded 100% of my purchase price, and the return process was very easy. All the other glasses were totally satisfactory.
