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.

So far so good!
October 21, 2017

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!

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!

Love eye buy direct
October 21, 2017

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.

Quick fix
October 19, 2017

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

Cheap, easy to order.
October 18, 2017

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 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!

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.
