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.

This was a great buy, why havent i done this before.? I never bought glasses online but for some reason i have a good feeling about these. Definitly since i been glassesless for far to long. Sorrh i cant spell but i tried.
7-14 business days is too long in the days of amazon. Offer options to get my glasses faster. Otherwise why use the website at all. A quicker turn around would greatly improve the experience.
I love your eyeglasses store in the web. I find the everything I need. The prices are amazing. Thanks you for all.

Very good prices and clean site
It, s the 3 time i shop here and i, m very pleased about it.
I will continue referring
I reallly like the option of trying-on my frames by uploading a photo of myself; makes it so much easier to shop at my own convenience. I felt the pricing was excellent - less than half of what I was quoted at my insurers optician. I wish I had received my glasses sooner, (I suppose Amazons next-day delivery has me spoiled) but Im thrilled with my new progressive-lens frames now that theyve arrived! I just ordered my 2nd pair!
I love eyebuydirect! Everything about them is so amazing. I have told so many people to get their glasses off of here.
Took a while to choose and complete the purchase but the assistance of online customer service made the process run smoothly when I had questions. Exceptional online customer service in my opinion. Prices are extremely competitive. Now hopefully my satisfaction with the purchase will be better than expected.
I love this website. I cannot say it enough! They do a great job of making glasses affordable. They have turned from a luxury item into an accessory for me. I have a bunch of different frames in different colors. They make it so easy to order, and there are always amazing deals going on.
I was able to navigate through the website easily. Lots of choices and easy to compare from the different selections I was considering.
I love the fact that I can quickly or slowly try on the glasses without the hassle of being in a crowded shop and waiting in line forever and then being pressured by a salesperson to make a choice. I don't care what they think, because they always say the glasses look great on you. No pressure, no wait, no hassle, great prices and selection. Eyeglass heaven.
I do wish the shipping cost was more upfront, before PayPal's page, but the ease of shopping and all the filters make it easy to find favorites. Of course, this time I knew exactly what I wanted because I had received so many compliments on my computer glasses that I decided I wanted a bifocal distance pair, too. Thanks for storing my RXs and making them easy to use in my account, too!
Lots of choices in eyeglasses easy to use site if I have one complaint is that the eyeglasses don't get delivered as fast as they should
Eye Buy Direct is a great place to buy your glasses. At times I wish there were more options especially for frames at the high end. But that is not what this company is focused on at this time. It is perfect for those that are looking for value and options. I cannot complain about durability either, they hold up just as well or even better depending on what you buy than what you would find in either a Eye Store or doctors office.
Receive my glasses early. They were everything I hoped for. The quality and workmanship were excellent. And as for the price uses great could not of purchase local for twice as much.
Sometimes the website is great. Other times I feel as though they charge too much for frames that aren't as good as others, and ignore the customer's complaints on how the glasses are packaged and sent over. Customer service is terrible and slow, the returning process is a hassle. They even delay returns, and refuse to reimburse you for glasses that do not fit you. Good looking frames- otherwise would not recommend because of their poor customer service skills.
Easy to use, frames are amazing, price is amazing, and the 'try on' portion of the website is surprisingly accurate. I have no complaints about this website at all.
Love to use this site takes some time to receive glasses but worth the wait!
My script is in my profile and its eazy to use once youve used site a couple of times. I highly recommend it.
Relatively easy site navigation - but it drops earlier search filters, also limited frames - be careful, "metal" frame may just be the nose bridge! No high end brands like MODA.
A little bit fraudulent re pricing (thus 4 stars) ie $21 frames + $49 dollar progressive lenses but then you need to add the ACTUAL lens - could be $7 or $85 - lowest not always available, so you'll end up spending around $100 on average. They come just at 2 weeks and I find the highest end lenses scratch easily- might as well go cheaper. The RX is PERFECT. They nickel and dime you for case, shipping. Online tracking, order info all big lags and inaccuracies. Still, Overall Easily less than 1/3 of brick & mortar places!
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
