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.

GREAT glasses and online purchasing policy - this is my second order of glasses within the year.
On my mobile, I was able to refine searches by "spring hinge" or not, but couldn't find this on my desktop version. Thankfully was able to find the ones I was looking for with the combo use of my desktop and phone! Other than this one minor detail, I've had no issues! I'm used to my Amazon Prime shipping though, so paying for 5 - 7 days with no tracking # was a cringe moment ha ha.
I should be writing this AFTER receiving the glasses I ordered. The placing of this repeating order was not so simple. The beginning was somewhat hard. There was no guiding for the various steps to be taken. By trial and error, after three attempts, on different days, I managed to hesitantly place an order. Once on each step the information was good and clear, but nothing, every time in between, to answer my: NOW WHAT?, to move on. Still my title is sincere.
I am very pleased with the service I have received from Eyebuydirect. I get all my glasses from them if I ever had a problem they took care of it as soon as possible. I also like how low the prices are.
My wife needed new glasses with prism lenses. EyeBuyDirect offered best pricing and a wide choice of frames and options.
They have so many great options on Eye Buy Direct! My first experience ordering glasses online and was so surprised by all the ways to customize your glasses. My only issue came when I tried to purchase them... At first it wouldn't accept that my billing address was different from my shipping address then when I tried again it didn't accept the discount code. It turned what would have been a perfect shopping experience into ending the transaction on a sour note.
Didn't arrive yet,,,,, very soon,,,,,, expect GREAT THINGS! The site was good,, so much to choose from,, You can chat on Line if your not sure... Take a chance,,,,,, stay home... baby...
I loved most of my experience but the checkout process was a bit tricky. The checkout didnt want to continue or update. I had to keep changing the method to change any sections below that.
I recently discovered that I needed glasses and dreaded not having variety. With Eyesbuydirect I've been able to buy three pair, which I instantly fell in love with, and now am buying a few more styles. The fit is always comfy and the frames are very light so I'm not having to give my nose a break every so often. It's amazing how good it feels to know you look confident and comfortable in these inexpensive frames. Thanks Eyesbuydirect.com!
Easier than dealing with eye glass people. It was so easy and nice to see what you looked like before your purchase allows you to have others approval before purchase.
My Optometrist suggested this site and wow what a treat. I was surprised how quickly was able to find a pair of glasses and use the virtual tools to help my selections.
I have been a repeat customer for several years now. I just love the selection and prices, and in the years I been ordering from them, they only screwed up one pair. The good news is, they are so inexpensive, it just does not matter if you have to order another pair; and you will order multiple pairs, and that is the beauty of EBD. You have a choice; order from EBD, or spend 800 bucks on the Mall eyeglass store. That in my world is a no brainer. I will keep the extra $700 and buy something I really want!
I love EBD! The glasses are stylish and at a great price. I get so many compliments on my frames and tell quite a few people where I bought them. I cant recommend EBD enough!
I honestly do not understand why people give this low reviews. This store is amazing. The most expensive glasses are $70, and they are always having promotions, so you almost never pay full price. Then they have a loyalty program, where you get so many coupons, like bogo free, etc, just for spending $50. I buy a whole pair of glasses here for $20 or less when Im in the mood for a new pair. And if you do not like them, YOU CAN RETURN THEM WITH A FULL REFUND! This place is amazing. Give them a try. There is literally no risk.
At first, it was a bit daunting to put the prescription into the computer, not knowing what all the numbers meant. I got stuck and found chat and then was assisted through the entire experience. Then I discovered my choice of lens was incompatible with my requirements, so I was concerned I would have to start over, but when I chose my next lens, I was happy to see that my details were saved in my session. Very good user experience. Lets hope the glasses are as good as the web site!
This is my first eyeglass purchase and the site was very user friendly for a beginner! Also affordable!
I like that I can buy glasses with the prescription that I have without having to get a new one. I appreciate the opportunity for discount codes; they come in handy. I bought two pairs once but made a mistake in my purchase and they gave me a full refund (minus the shipping fee.) I was pretty satisfied. I just wish the transitional lenses did not cost so much, but I understand why. Also, it did take a while to track my refund, but once the customer service team realized that they had already received my return, I was issued a refund that same week. That's the only thing that made me give 4 instead of 5. If 4.5 was an option, that would be my rating. But I am overall satisfied! Much more cost efficient than going to an actual store.
I have made several Purchases and have yet to be awarded my points in order to build them to become part of the loyalty program. Not sure why the offer such a thing if purchases made aren't being accounted for towards this perk.
The glasses selection was good. I ordered 1 pair with tint. I was offered 20% discount which i received. However, i was also offered free shipping which there was no place to put it. I paid for shipping. Just hoping the glasses are a perfect fit.
Excellent prices and wide variety to choose from very simplistic. I feel everything will be perfect when I recieved my glasses
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
