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.

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!

Virtual Try On Is Cool
September 1, 2018

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.

Fantastic products!
September 1, 2018

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!

Affordable!
September 1, 2018

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.

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.

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

Insude Scoop

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.!;-)
