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.

Quality Frames and More-than-reasonable prices... Scratch that - Incredible prices
If you're on a budget but you need new frames for your prescription, you will find quality items all over this sight. You can also pick and choose the specs regarding your lenses (e.g., UV protection, Water Resistance, Tinting, etc.).
If you're looking to spend a little more, there are super-high-end quality items with all the bells and whistles attached, there are so many options on that spectrum. You WILL get what you pay for in that regard. If you buy a cheaper pair, however, you'll get a really good quality frame regardless of it's price.
Are you a student? They have discounts for you. You like loyalty programs for extra benefits? EyeBuyDirect has that too.
But What if I want prescription sunglasses? Hey my man (or woman), They got you. There are plenty of sunglasses styles to choose from, and making them prescription shades won't cost you an arm or a leg.
The customizable options throughout the whole purchasing process is second to none and the customer service is super helpful. I've had experience with many online prescription eyeglasses websites, and EyeBuyDirect is my permanent choice out of all of them.
Comprehensive website, quality glasses, way cheaper than normal! 2nd time buying from them (my first pair survived 30 days sea kayaking and backpacking through Alaska, then another 6 months- then they got stepped on)
Amazing customer service and i always love my glasses. I will always buy glasses from here and nowhere else
Have bought glasses from EYE BUY many times. Always easy to navigate the site with excellent information.
This is a great site. Very easy to navigate and alot ot affordable options. Love the color choices but black is my favorite.
The prettiest frames at reasonable prices. Even with my prescription they were affordable. The last time I purchased glasses from them I received more compliments than I ever received on my glasses. People even asked where did you buy them. So I told them and also told them how after purchasing them the company even sent me discounts and they were already cheap. People had told me the name of another company on line but I like this company cuz the prices are Great
I really do love Eyebuydirect. They're glasses are pretty well made, and I am the type of person who doesn't really care for my glasses. I constantly take them off around the house, throw them on the floor, and misplace them often. So I really don't want to spend hundreds of dollars buying a pair of glasses for me to mistreat them. But I do want my glasses to be stylish and Eyebuydirect offers so many cute styles. I highly recommend it!
I love it I order 2 pair for half of the price for one. My eye doctor wanted to charge me $240 with 50% off..
It would be better if the website is easier to maneuver! But it is still grreat! I like the try on thing but it would be nice to specify a distance so that I don't get too close or too far from the camera in order to get a more precise look on how I look with the glasses on.
I signed up for the 15% off Welcome and it didn't apply to frames already on sale even though I was buying 4 pairs of glasses. I am in grad school and tried the 20% off student discount and got the same message - discount doesn't apply to frames already on sale. I wish I would have known that before I spent two plus hours finding four pairs of glasses. I hope I like them when they are delivered cuz then my little disappointment will be forgotten.
I am careful but sometimes careless with my glasses. It is so good to know that I can order another pair and get it so quickly. Recently I left my glasses at a place where no one would be able to get them back to me because I don't know anyone there. Ordered a new pair and will have them just like that.
I always start to order glasses on other sites but it made me feel uneasy not seeing the product. The helpfulness of the website made me feel confident I was ordering the glasses that would best suit me.
Easy simple got my glasses very quickly very satisfied. Glasses were exactly as described. I saved so much money and time with my hectic schedule.
I just love that you can get a cute pair of glasses for such a low price. Even when I'm on a tight budget, I can manage to squeeze in a pair of glasses for under twenty dollars. Also, since they don't cost hundreds of dollars, even if you don't like how they look, you wouldn't have wasted too much money more.
I don't have a pair to take a picture with, because I'm not sure if the two glasses I have currently came from this company or another one which is similar, but I just ordered some.
One tiny issue with the cart. It may be useful for the makers of this website to play around with that a little bit.
For example - clicking on existing selection wont close the shipping panel. This is a UX issue.
I wish I had heard about this website years ago! Lots of cute frames for really inexpensive prices. I like that I can get a few pairs to change out for fashion instead of having to buy just on pair that goes with everything.
This is a great website. As a first time user, I was impressed with how interactive the website is. It's almost as if you are working with someone right from the store. I felt informed and confident in purchasing online and will do it again!
Easy to use and quick results. Pretty expensive when you add on bi-focals and photo-ray, but with coupon if is CHEAP
I ordered a pair of glasses as my new glasses form my eye doctor broke and I have to wait 2 months for new frames. I go these glasses and they are great. I hope they hold up.
Very easy to order glasses, prices good. However, my first pair broke around the screw attaching the arm. I will try a spring-loaded hinge model next in hopes they will last longer.
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
