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.

Several years ago, before moving to Africa, I bought a pair of "spare" glasses from EyeBuyDirect, as well as a pair I used at the time. Six years have passed, several pair of glasses have come and gone and I never needed the spare until recently. What a blessing! I am now ordering more. The fit and quality have been excellent. I t was easy to find the frame options that fit my size so narrowing down the choice didn't take so long. I didn't use the "try them on" option, but it's a great feature. (Someone is coming from the States, so will bring these along, can't wait!) Glad I found this company!

Ive thought about ordering glasses online for a long time but never sat down to actually do it. Then I lost my prescription sunglasses! Just sat down to browse and immediately found a frame I liked. The rest was a piece of cake! Excited to get my new sunglasses!

I am in awe of the ease of ordering glasses at super affordable prices. I would say I will be a repeat customer, but unfortunately I can't access this website from my laptop - the page doesn't load any graphics or links, just text, and I had issues even finding a way to contact them about my problem. I tried on both safari and google chrome? Not sure about the issue. I just placed an order from my computer at work - it loads here on a Windows 10, perhaps an issue with them being supported on Mac computers? Regardless, once the site was up, it was neat to be able to try on frames and have many customization options for my lenses. What they're doing is great, if they could fix their website I would absolutely purchase here again.

The try on feature is the best, large selection of glasses, need more colors for lenses. Prescriptions always seem to be on the mark. Once proceeding too far in the selection process it seems difficult to back up without losing all the info submitted. Don't like that. I wanted to go back and try the last pair I selected, but found no way to do so. I purchased them anyway, and just hope I'll like them. Hate returns.

Nice, affordable glasses! Saving hundreds of dollars than if I were to go to my optometrist or the mall. I have bought glasses with EyeBuyDirect in the past and I was satisfied with how the glasses felt and looked on me.

It would be great if you guys offered more in larger frames. I really want a pair of classy frames, and it gets annoying that those of us with larger faces are stuck with the same style frames for our entire life.

Worth Trying Out
July 9, 2018

My first pair of glasses from them was a decent price and the lenses are so clear, but their quality was not the best... the right arm broke in half after two months. I have no heard back from them, but the pricing of each pair is so reasonable that I still came back for a replacement. I guess I'll just have to go get my broken ones fixed by a local place though.

I was recommended here for my first pair of glasses, and it didn't take terribly much effort to navigate after being familiar with some other online stores. After a few minutes of browsing, I bought a pair I liked with my prescription, for less than the cost of the cheapest of the frames at the Optometrist's place of business, never-mind the lenses. A useful and fairly intuitive business site ultimately.
