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.

Fantastic Prices!
January 30, 2019

We love buying for Eye Buy Direct! Their glasses are so cute and the prices are incredible! We've purchased glasses two different times. In between, one pair broke, but they were quickly replaced for only the cost of shipping. It was amazing!

The frame selection was great. The prices even better. Both qualities together makes for an excellent deal! Some ratings are NA because I have not received my order yet!

I ordered a pair of backup eye glasses, spent about 1/10th of what my eye doctor would charge, will have to see the quality and build when they arrive

Never dissatisfied
January 29, 2019

I have bought one pair of glasses on this website and my partner has bought 2. Shipping is always quick and we have saved SO much money on glasses using this website. I've definitely had better experiences on this website than picking out glasses at my local eye store. I will definitely be returning to this website when needed. And I always recommend friends.

I've at least a dozen different pairs of glasses from EyeBuyDirect and loved all but one of them. They quickly processed my return with no hassles.

I also had one pair of frames that broke (my fault) and they still replaced them. When I broke them again - still my fault - I ordered a replacement frame for $9, popped the lenses out of the broken frame and into the new one, and had a new pair of glasses for less than ten bucks.

All of that to say, the products are great, the website is easy to use, and the customer service is incredible.

Bought the cheapest, most basic pair ($20 with shipping) just to test quality. I got them in 7 days and they are great! Now I'm going back to get my bifocals. Gonna put the $20 pair in my emergency kit.

I was pleased in the past with the glasses I purchased from EyeBuyDirect so therefore I am a returning customer and very hopeful I again will be just as pleased with today's purchase.

Ok so I stopped using the regular glasses stores because they are just too expensive. For instance, they try and charge over $100 for things like adding Transition lenses to your glasses, and don't even think of trying to order my preferred style which are rimless transition lenses. Now add on a high prescription index (-7.75 glasses) and I have been quoted $375-$490+ in a store. Even Costco is pretty expensive when looking for this configuration.

So I went online and this website has both good quality and service. I usually expect most online glasses places to sell cheap chinese knock off lenses that fall apart but these did not. I have use 39DollarGlasses.com and this site and although this one can be a few dollars more, I like the options they offer and the layout a bit better.

This site is also not the worst with shipping, the rimless frame was tough and lasted me longer than a year and the customer service isn't bad. They literally give you absolutely no hastle over exchanging a pair or replacing a damaged pair within whatever warranty time (I think its a new months or a year). I had a rimless pair with a broken leg several months after I bought it and I replaced it with no questions asked. All they wanted were some pictures and once I emailed those, they sent out the replacement pair very quickly. To be honest I don't have any complaints except I wish they sold replacement parts for the frames that they carry but I guess that may be too much to ask.

I have ordered multiple pairs of glasses for myself and family. I have always gotten fast service and for the few times The glasses haven't worked because of frame size or an issue with fit i have always gotten a quick fix to the problem. It's hard to judge frames when you aren't actually trying them on and they are truly all about customer satisfaction. The glasses are well made and a great buy. I just bought two pairs today and will continue to shop here for all of our glasses.

I liked that there was so many options to help you narrow down your options. This is my first time ever ordering glasses online. I was quite intimidated. The site made it fairly easy. Have a ruler and your prescription numbers and you will have glasses ordered. Now I will see if they fit!

Good style and good buy; web site a little cranky-could not tell which were available as sunglasses or as prescription sometimes--but I figured it out!

CONFUSION
January 26, 2019

It asked me to go to PayPal before giving me the choice of shipping, so now I'm not sure I will get charged twice or once and whether I'll get the sunglasses.
