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.

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)

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

Easy, Cheap, Amazing
January 12, 2019

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!

Great so far
January 10, 2019

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.

Confused
January 10, 2019

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.

Pretty & Cheap
January 10, 2019

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.

Very intuitive UI.
January 10, 2019

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.

Great Value
January 10, 2019

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 Ordering, Quality?
January 10, 2019

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.
