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 was so excited to discover EyeBuyDirect, an inexpensive option to the outrageous cost of buying glasses traditionally. I got my first pair of glasses a year ago and they are great quality. I haven't had any issues with them and I love that there are so many styles to choose from. I just purchased my second pair, which are sunglasses and I can't wait to receive them. The great thing about EyeBuyDirect is that you turn any frame into sunglasses, and you are not limited to only the sunglasses frames. I recommend this company to any friend looking to buy glasses and they never disappoint!
I really liked that you can upload a picture and see how you look in the glasses. The prices are very reasonable and they have a variety of selections. Wish they had more designer frames, but overall site has a good selection.
I've been ordering glasses from here for a couple years now. And every time, I am never disappointed with what I receive! The glasses are great quality, customer service is great, delivery time is great. I honestly could not say a bad word about them! If I could change anything it would be that they will start shipping to the UK since I'll be living there soon and would love to continue purchasing with eye buy direct!
This is my third pair of glasses I've ordered from EyeBuyDirect. Great quality for the money! I always get compliments on my glasses too and gladly send people to the website.
Great selection of glasses! Didn't give 5 stars because the website could be more user friendly. This is in specific to the "compare" frames button. I was not able to pick the glasses from my list of favorites and had to switch between tabs on my browser instead to compare.
I feel that this site is extremely user-friendly and offers so many options for people who wear glasses. The fact that one pays so little for each pair makes it worth it to try new styles that I wouldn't normally be able to afford.
Easy purchase less than time than expected. Can't wait to see my new set! Not sure what to expect... will keep you posted on overall experience!
This is my third time ordering glasses from eyebuydirect and I will always use them! I've even referred several friends and family members because I love them so much!
Fingers crossed I love my glasses! They're supposed to be coming in any time soon...! Thanks a lot for the help...!
I have bought at least 5 pair of glasses from this site, and have been pleased with each and every pair. Fast shipping, great prices and so many different types of frames to choose from.
Cute prescription glasses that won't break the bank! There are constantly bogo deals and special offers to take advantage of as well!
I selected another pair of glasses like a previous one I had bought with EyeBuyDirect because I lost it and I needed an updated prescription anyways. It took me many tries to get the spin the wheel thing to work and then checkout took some figuring out.
I've ordered serveral times in the past and I always great deals. I love this website so much. My prescription comes out perfect every time!
Cute glasses that are also affordable! I've been shopping with eyebuydirect for years and they never dissapoint. Wish it was a little faster! :)
I would normally give a 5 star review. I got the era 409 three times in the pasted week. I was trying to use Pay Pal. Today I just used a credit card and had no problems.
My anxious waiting has come to an end! Just received my glasses exactly a week after i ordered them, and i'm giddy with delight! Ok first of all... i was pleasantly surprised by the cute box it came in, which slid out to reveal the glasses in the felt bag. (i was contemplating getting a glasses case, but the bag is way better for me to protect my glasses.)
They don't pinch my temples and feel so much better than the shiny plastic that cheap glass frames are usually made of. This one feels smooth and dry, and is easy to wipe clean! Definitely going to come back to eyebuydirect.com to get wire-framed glasses if i find some that i fancy. All in all, i'm sh00k with how much i liked ordering glasses online because it actually went swimmingly!
I just ordered my first pair of eyeglasses and am paying just under $17 for $6 frames, which is bonkers bc my last pair of glasses weren't as cute and cost $30. I'm anxiously awaiting them to see how they look and how good the quality is, so fingers crossed until i receive them
Good experience overall, good selection for cheap. But I signed up for subscription to get free shipping and 15% off and they didn't send me a promo code :(
Top shelf for affordable prices. My eyes are happy and my wallet is heavier after the savings. Thank you very much for the Buy One Get One coupon.
Best way to shop & buy eye/sun glasses. I've ordered 9 pair. One pair needed to be sent back in exchange from progressive to bifocal. Another pair, the frame arm broke. Both returns was FREE without hassle.
I will ALWAYS buy EYEBUYDIRECT.!;-)
Easy to use website; lots of styles to choose from; exactly the pair I wanted and couldn't find elsewhere.
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
