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've bought glasses for from EyeBuyDirect Twice before and I like the styles and the price range, it's not too insane like some other places, but the material quality seems to be lacking. The last pair I bought from EyeBuyDirect broke within 4 months, which is odd considering the first pair I bought from this company lasted me for two full years until i git my new prescription. So, I'm wondering if it was a fluke or if they've recently lowered their standards on quality. I guess lucky pair number three will tell me.

So far so good...

I just order my bi-focal glasses and I hope to be happy when I receive them. The website is extremely easy to navigate and the chat customer service... I'm very pleased.

Good Experience
November 9, 2017

Issa was very helpful and the total experience was great! I was nervous at first, but was quickly assured by Issa that it was doable - and it was quite simple with her help!

Cheap & Easy
November 9, 2017

Just placed my second order at EyeBuyDirect. Two pairs of prescription glasses for under $50 is almost unheard of. The site is easy to navigate, I absolutely love the try on tool and my first order came in just under a week! The prescription was perfect, my glasses have lasted, too. Although, I can definitely tell the difference in quality between a $30 frame and a $9 one, you pay what you get for. Would recommend to anyone wanting to try out a new style or switch up their glasses look on a daily basis. No reason to spend $100+ on one pair of glasses, when a gem site like this exists!

The only thing that is annoying is every time you place an order (EVERY time) this silly "sitejabber" website popup comes up. No matter how many times you click "no thanks" it always prompts you every single time you place an order.
Other than that, the website is extremely easy to navigate, and it's very easy to place orders. The folks there are also very polite, although once they randomly canceled my order and never reached out to ask details about my prescription. (I had to call, several weeks later, and ask about my order. Only then did they tell me something was wrong with it. It was somewhat annoying, but the glasses finally showed up.)

Love the pricing! Love the styles! Awesome quality and bang for your buck.

Just ordered my 2nd pair of bifocals. The first ones were so affordable I decided to order again. Great idea.

I have previously bought numerous glasses from EyeBuyDirect and found it to be reliable, affordable with excellent service. The frames are well made and the price is quite low compared to other frames from other retailers.

Prices can't be beat. Quality and shipping time is also impressive. I once got a pair of glasses that I didn't love and they immediately sent me another pair I picked out. It was so fast I hadn't even sent back the ones I didn't like yet!

Pretty good
November 6, 2017

Great product, great deals. Too bad the site was down for 30 minutes and I had to wait a long time before I could check out. Ask your webmaster to do some research on persistence and failover. In 2017, commerce sites should NEVER be down. No excuses! Find a new hosting company, if necessary.

Pleased with the styles and price, but a little frustrated that two pairs have broken easily. I will say that they replaced them, but then broke again. I was impressed by the replacement at no charge (just shipping). I've ordered a third pair and trying out metal frames to hopefully be more durable.

So customer friendly
November 6, 2017

This is my second purchase from eyebuydirect and I am very satisfied with the options of frames that they have as well as the 14 day trial option. Returning is such an easy process too! I bought from lens crafters once and the lenses were such bad quality which led me to this website and I'm so glad I found it! They have better quality frames and lenses than a very well known company. I will always buy my glasses from eyebuydirect.

The mobile version of the site is extremely poor and has a lot of bugs. Editing the shipping address function doesn't work, adding a new address is a huge ordeal as the cursor doesn't land on the blank field at all. I would strongly recommend you to invest in improving the site
