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.

The checking out process was pretty easy! This is my first time buying from the site and I could easily find what I wanted! This is may importanté to me so I appreciate that! I can't wait to get my glasses that will be the deal breaker!
Overall process is good, (haven't gotten the glasses yet so maybe it is a bit pre-mature) but the 'try on' process needs a bit of work. The picture and frames need to be scaled to be more realistic. The selection process needs a way to filter easier and better, available at anytime.
Lots of styles and great ways to filter and select frames. I loved the "try it on" and "compare" features. The only beef I had was that sometimes the website gets glitchy: after choosing "frames that fit my prescription" I went on to select lenses and was told that the frame I had chosen would not work with my prescription! What gives?
So I spent a little more time and got something great. I have used them several times before. Once when my frames broke, many months after purchase, I called for some customer satisfaction and learned that my style had been discontinued and could not be fixed. They gave me a whole new pair in a similar style!
As a family of 6 with 5 of us wearing glasses Eye Buy Direct is the most affordable way to keep our family stocked with glasses.
I am very pleased with the selection and quality of the glasses I have gotten from here. The shipping is quite fast and I have never run into any issues.
I've purchased three (3) pair of single vision eyeglasses from EyeBuyDirect now, and I love them! Huge selection of frames with drill-down menus and virtual try-on feature make buying eyeglasses online a cinch. Plus discount prices over retail eyewear boutiques mean you can own 2 or 3 pair plus sunglasses without busting your budget. I had to return one pair because they were too large, and the return/exchange process was smooth and stress-free. I shopped several online eyewear sites before narrowing my choice down to EyeBuyDirect and am very happy with my choice!
Great glasses for a fantastic price. I have two pairs that lasted 3 years. Time for a style update so Im getting a couple new ones with my new prescription. Im so glad they added the pupillary distance ruler because I guessed last time. Hoping for a perfect fit.
Gladly to know to have found this company. And saving a lot of money on prescription glasses.
Thanks you
Love it; so convenient. Should create an app and better rewards for long term customers. Love you guys!
I got my glasses for under 22$ after shipping and everything with it. Thank you for the good deal. I will be sure to come back again.
Needed a quick fix after cataracts until my eyes adjusted and I can get my regular prescription. If these work I will return for sunglasses
Anything you need to know about eyeglasses? Will answer by eye buy direct. Thank
You eye buy direct for such a service.
Good overall. There are lots of options to choose from. Great price and also lots of color options. Just love it. I will shop again for sure. Hope my shipment comes soon. Very excited to get my product.
I have always gotten great service and glasses for my family. I just ordered three pairs for $150. We have been using EyeBuyDirect for over four years.
I loved the pair that I ordered a few months ago. A fraction of what I would pay retail, so I decided to order a pair for my son from here as well!
Easy to use website. I just hope I read my doctor's prescription correctly. I had to Google "how to read my eye prescription". If all goes well this order I will definitely be back!
I've used EyeBuyDirect a few times to buy glasses, even once while overseas and I've never been disappointed! The prices are great and they ship quickly.
I have purchased 4 pairs form this company so far-all have been great and cost me 1/4 I would have paid in the office.
I tried ordering glasses on the day of a BOGO event, but kept receiving a message that said the gateway was experiencing a network delay, and that a "duplicate transaction has been submitted." However, the order never went through, so I contacted customer service via e-mail and via live support, with no response. The next day when I tried to order again, the network was no longer "experiencing a delay," and I didn't get the BOGO price. I should have gotten a response by now, to either help me fix the issue the day of, or to give me the BOGO pricing the following day when I successfully placed my order, because EyeBuyDirect's network was the issue, not mine.
I love it so far! Good experience and great prices. I have bought one pair and just ordered another one. I have recommend to a couple of my friends and they seem to be satisfied also. They will continue to have my business.
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
