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 love this site. Very easy to use and great tools to help a first time online buyer. I never knew you could do this, I always thought you had to go to an office. Not to mention the amazing selection. This is the best way to order glasses!

My first pair were great, except they fell off my face. When contacted, I was not replied to. Here's hoping these work better, or I'll be looking elsewhere.

Needs more of a selection
February 24, 2018

There needs to be more selection and more information provide for the selections. There wasn't much faded/ light/ matted pink color options in small size frames, I had to get a medium size. There needs to be more small size options period. There is not an option to chooses cat eye, you have to choose 3 different frame types just to see the cat eye options. There needs to be a picture of the glasses on a face for every frame, I had to go to the reviews in hopes that someone posted a picture of themselves in the frames. The frame shape name needs to have a picture next to it, so you know what the name "type of frame shape it is" instead of having to google frame shapes. - This was just my experience in the selection process... I will have to see what I get, and how long it takes, before I can make direct comments about the order.

Surprised in a good way.
February 24, 2018

Surprised for the low prices it offered, the lenses themselves weren't too expensive and was able to buy a pair of glasses for under $50, depending on how the glasses are I will be shopping here again.

Great Value
February 23, 2018

I have been putting off getting glasses for ever. I finally got my eyes checked and the insurance only paid for the really unattractive frames. If I wanted to switched them to better looking frames I would have to pay upwards to $400.00!
Luckily I saw an add on Facebook and decided to check you out.
I cant believe that Im getting frames, transition lenses and the Prescription for a fraction of the price!
When I get the chance I will for sure be sending people your way!

Poor customer service
February 22, 2018

Bought these glasses in mid December 2017. Today 02/21/18 the nose pad fell off. I called to requested that they send a nose piece. They advised that they would not be able to send just the nose piece and indicated that they would replace the Frame as it was under warranty and I would be required to pay $5 for shipping. After going back and forth over the shipping cost, I agreed (against my better judgement) to pay the shipping. I was then advised that the frame I currently have is no longer available and I would need to select another. Needless to say I am not pleased and will never do business with this vendor again. BUYER BEWARE.

I have ordered from Eye Buy Direct on 3 different occasions. Only on one occasion did I have a problem and Eye Buy Direct worked with me to correct the problem and sent me a new pair of glasses. I will continue to purchase my glasses from Eye Buy Direct.

I want to give a full review but I would like to wait for the glasses to come in, try them out, and if needed, go through any return process and see how their customer service is. Otherwise, the ordering process was relatively smooth, and the information online is easy to understand.

Good stuff
February 21, 2018

I've ordered from EBD once before, but unfortunately ruined my glasses by allowing them to fall to the bottom of my satchel. Unfortunate. But the site is easy to use. I appreciate that all the dimensions are listed and I can compare them to the last pair I had. I appreciate the new "pay through Amazon" feature, it makes the buy process that much easier.
Thanks for the glasses!
(P.S. I feel like more people would write reviews if you didn't have to create an account to submit a simple review. Only the really angry or really happy people are going to be willing to do that)

Going for my third pair now. Glasses are excellent quality, durability, and best of all, price. They have all the bells and whistles for glasses available, and so far no problems whatsoever.
