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'm so glad I found eyebuydirect. I like variety in my glasses and this company's prices allow me to mix it up. I've already ordered two and there's at least two more I have to have.

Meh
June 3, 2018

Great pricing for prescription glasses. I wish there were more in trend glasses to choose from like acetate in large or cat eyed glasses. That said, I just ordered my sixth pair. You really cant beat the prices.

Easy to Use
June 2, 2018

Considering I haven't received the glasses yet it's hard to evaluate EyeBuyDirect. Having past work experience in fitting frames I'm curious how they'll know where to place the progressive lens. When I did frame fitting we had to mark exactly where the pupil was on the frame display lens or measure from the bottom of the frame to the pupil. I think their 'Try On' feature is great. The main reason I chose this company is the money back guarantee. This is my first attempt at progressive lens and I didn't find anyone else who could offer anything more than replacing the lens for single vision (then I'm out the added $$ spent for progressive lens). If I can update review after receiving glasses I shall do.

A Nephew's Gift
June 1, 2018

My nephew's mom spent $200 on a pair of glasses and within a week, the frame cracked. I took it in to seek assistance, but the company, despite all measures, sought for me to purchase another one and this one was a designer's frame at a cost of 400.00! Though it takes time to process eyeglasses, I am an ardent and devoted patron. Why? The pair I have on is 400.00 less than what I originally would pay. That is just for lenses. I is a needed gift and worth the sentiment - my nephew; s vision!

I love that there is such a large selection of stylish glasses, and lenses. I needed a pair of blue light filter glasses for work but didn't want to spend a ton of money on them. I found really great looking frames for under $10, added my lenses and a case and got everything for just a few bucks overall. It was pain-free and fun to build my own glasses.

Best value
May 31, 2018

Best value. Glasses are high quality. My daughter's prescription changes often and she needs new glasses all the time. It's super nice to be able to order multiple pairs and then not be upset over the cost when it's time to order all new ones.

Initial Experience
May 31, 2018

This is my first time buying online. This site was recommended by a friend. I haven't had my order delivered yet and I see other reviewers had some problems with the finished products so we'll see, but so far my experience on the initial order has been good. Much more affordable than buying at any optician or brick and mortar store and good selection of on-trend stuff for plastic "big" frames that are in style now. I liked the options for different lenses (photosensitive, etc.). With the exception of rimless--I found rimless at a cheaper price and wider selection elsewhere.

Messed up my prescription on the lenses which held up the order; Did not send my replacement order / had to reorder; no one can speak English so you have to keep asking them to please repeat in PLAIN ENGLISH! This has been UNPLEASANT.
