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.

I have been getting my glasses from here possibly 20 yrs now- cant remember how long. Always good service and quality glasses. Have had to return recently as aome how wrong prescription but this was a first out of many orders over the yrs.& it was immediately rectified no extra cost etc - new glasses arrived fit great see great. I recommend eyebuydirect to every one i know. Only place i will go for glasses
The try on AI feature showed the L sized glasses I tried as a perfect fit for me. When the glasses arrived, they were extremely oversized to my face
Even though I had some issues with the try-on feature (it would not load), the process of ordering was easy and clear. The order was shipped and arrived quickly. Had a good experience ordering.
My wife doesn't like to waste time looking around for new glasses. She has been able to order the same glasses on three different occasions. Just needed to update RX and modify lenses as needed.
I am only purchasing new glasses because my prescription has changed. All of my previous purchases are still in great condition. This is the only place I order my glasses from now
I've been using this company for over a decade. I've never had an issue, the glasses always high quality, and the website has consistently easy to determine size and fit before I order. Straight forward, consistent, and reliable.
Always a coupon available to apply to my purchase. Such better deals than at the optical shops. I have 3 pairs, for the price of one. I feel a bit bougie on a budget.
The ordering was ok. And the frames were ok too.
But the progressive lenses gave me a headache. They were the exact same prescription as the one I have for other glasses. So I do need to ask for a refund and I am not sure how.
Eyebuydirect has so many styles of glasses at great prices. The hardest part is choosing only one pair! I absolutely love them.
I received a discount code from you by email and it didn't work even though it was still active. I was able to use another one for slightly less savings, but it felt a bit like a bait and switch
I accidentally place my order without the insurance, they refunded me. I placed another other and the glasses just didn't work. They took them back and refunded me, then told me how to order them to fix the issue I was having! Everyone has been so nice and helpful!
When I discovered my glasses had been delivered to previous address, and were unrecoverable, they immediately offered to replace them. That is prime customer service.
Most of my frames have been good quality. The price is right. The styles are very good.
I haven't bought classes here for a while because they were loose around the ear. So my glasses would fall constantly, but i'm excited to give it another trying
Ordering was easy. Delivery took a little while than expected. I ordered an Armani pair of glasses and the description stated I would receive case/ pouch ( I have received both in the past). I only received a pouch with this order. I am extremely disappointed with this.
Great glasses at a wonderful price! And shipping was very fast!
So easy to find the perfect glasses for my husband. We used the filters to pick out by the frame style and hinge springs that were a must.
When the glasses arrived, they fit perfectly and looked very nice on my husband. The prescription worked perfectly for him too!
I have purchased from EyeBuyDirect for years. I have only had one issue (about a year ago) and they customer service person handled it with such professionalism. We had ordered a pair of glasses that were too big on my daughter (totally our fault) and they offered to ship out a new pair and allowed us to ship the others back with no hassle whatsoever. I am always so pleased with our orders and their wonderful service. 10 out of 10 every time!
Website is pretty easy to use. Selection is good, and prices are very good. The only problem is that they don't ask for the positioning that you prefer for Progressive lens centers, so I have to return them every time and have them change it.
Eyebuydirect makes it super easy to use my prescription given to me by my eye doctor, and my insurance to quickly purchase glasses. I like their try-on feature, though it's not as exact as it could be, it's close enough to get a good idea of how they look. Their deals are a bit misleading, for example, a buy one get one is only on frames, not lenses, but it doesn't say that up front. Still, it's significantly less expensive than getting glasses at the eye doctor, and they have a good selection, lots of options for add-on features, and I can do it from home where I am not dealing with people trying to sell me things while my eyes are dilated!
In 2020, I purchased two pair, which I still use today. Eyebuydirect is 10 out of 10. My prescription has changed. Prices are better than Costco! Far better selection! Great for any budget. Thank you!
Needed to reorder a previous order and your website was so easy to use and had all my previous orders at my fingertips. Easy process!
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
