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.

Eye buy direct never disappoints and customer service is astounding. This is my second purchase and i can not wait to see how they turn out. They make returns and exchanges incredibly easy and they are prompt. Would recommend to everyone.

I've got at lease 6 pairs of glasses in the last few years. Website is great, customer service is great, prices, quality, you name it. Customer for life! So much better than getting robbed at the optometrist.

Love My Frames
May 1, 2018

Their prices are great! They ship quickly. However my lenses seem harder to keep clean. This is the third time I have ordered from this site.

This was a great way to quick and easy buy a pair of prescription sunglasses for my husband. I hope they turnout as great as we hope! The website was easy to use and intuitive. Loved the feature where you add your picture and they overlay a picture of the glasses on your face!

The website is easy enough to use on smart phone or tablet. There is a decent selection in different price ranges not all frames are available in all sizes it is frustrating that size is not a part of search filter you can however search by size but takes awhile to weed through them all. My daughter and I have low prescriptions and do not require any multi focal lenses so I dont know about that. I am very pleased with the frames and lenses weve received they are just like any frames from a walk in optical store. The main reasons Ive ordered multiple times is easy to use website and home delivery. Plus the low price allows me to try new styles and not feel bad if I dont end up wearing them. I have never used customer service or had to a return an item. Overall I am highly satisfied!

Love My Glasses

I always get compliments on my eyebuydirect frames. I love how affordable the frames are. I love that I can get frames right from the comfort of my home. My glasses are great and comfortable. Great for a broke grad student!

Prices and products are fine, but I get tired of clicking to see hidden information, especially dimensions, and whether or not what is on the page is already in my favorites file. Just put the info out there so that I can see it! Don't hide it behind additional clicks.

I'm addicted
May 1, 2018

I have 4 pairs of glasses now that I love! I ordered 2 pairs the first time around and one of the frames were too small but their customer service was very helpful with the return process. The only down side was with the second time I ordered. No matter how many times I updated the shipping address, there were errors that wouldn't let the payment process but after I called them, they were able to resolve the issue and since I've made one more order and haven't had any issues! I love how cheap and easy it is!

Just OK
May 1, 2018

My review was based on available frame choices and ease of website.
They have a very limited "better" frames and literally no size options. I only had 3 options on the frame style size, semi-rimless and none on the rimless. Then once the choice was made, the website was not allowing to proceed after the prescription was entered, unless you add more option, like a tint. I tried live chat, but the wait was for over 3 minutes.
This is my second buy. The first was OK to Good. The price is extremely reasonable and this is why I came back.

Ive ordered MANY glasses thru eye but direct. The XS kids frames are great for my 4 year old)he started at 3) and they really do last. When we get new ones for him its not that they have been ruined but weve lost them. My husband and I love our glasses as well. We can get a couple pair for our son and a pair for each of us with transitions for the price of one pair at the optometrists office. If your on the fence just do it! They are amazing

Yay!

So easy and excited to try new lenses! Inexpensive and fun new styles, and I loved the try on option as well as the free exchanges and returns if they dont look right or feel right- or seem right for vision!

The prices and selection are great! I just wish the price on the sunglasses wouldnt jump so much from non prescription to prescription glasses. Other than that, the selections are all great values!

Recommended by my daughter. She sent me a $10 off coupon for signing up. Coupon didn't work, so she found another FIRSTFRAME. Got free shipping and 20% off. The price makes it easy to buy several frames for various occasions.

Wow, things have changed since I last bought glasses. No hassle and no great expense. I dont have to drive 40 minutes to an optician.
