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 am a long time customer of EBD and recently ordered a pair of glasses which I received in a timely manner. However, due to the fact that the frames I had chosen rested too low on my nose, was unable to see close up and could not read with them. I chatted with a EBD agent about the problem and she had me send a picture of myself wearing the glasses. She was able to expertly see the problem and offer me other frame possibilities to make another pair of glasses that would work for me. I received the new glasses today and am quite pleased with their appearance and functionality. Thank you for making things right and honoring customer satisfaction.
Really easy to navigate your website. Holiday blockbuster sales for EBD made this purchase impossible for several days because of heavy internet traffic but I finally got in today. Thanks for extending this amazing offer!
I have used Eyebuydirect for a number of years and overall am pleased. I have some difficulty navigating the web site and it could be more streamlined. I have been very pleased with the glasses I've received and service. The prices are so much less than using a local eye glass outlet at your optical office. My last pair I order had an incorrect prescription provided from my eye doctor and Eyebuydirect willing made the correction and provided a second pair at minimal costs - I'm waiting now to receive and assume these will be satisfactory. And, I appreciate the emails advising of orders, shipping, and expected arrivals. I will continue to use them in them in the future.
I love your prices, choices, and emails (although you do send way too many) but they are always full of great information!
I am a little worried about a refund I should have received last week... I'm still waiting for it today. Hopefully, that comes in soon. When it does, I will purchase a new pair.
Received my item with a little patience. Good website usability and product options.
I have always had a positive experience. Exchanging after an order error was easy! Now my prescription has gotten stronger not all frames will work for my lenses but I'm glad there are plenty other options. Always affordable!
Filling everything out is easy and when I broke my last pair it was really easy to reorder another pair. It saved all my information
Been shopping her for many years and I'm always satisfied. If any purchase is incorrect or incomplete they always fix the issue hastily.
Easy to refund when I make a mistake on prescription.
Bought 2 pairs
Loved the first pair
Second one not so much
Spoke with representative and helped to return the other pair and chose a different pair 😊
Love the styles. Platform easy to use. Returns are quick too.
You now charge for lens cloth and case... on top of increased pricing. Huge disappointment after bragging about you to friends and family. Now I see why they did not choose you.
I've been using eye wear from this brand for the past few years and I absolutely love every pair I've purchased. Will get more!
I probably am twenty or more pairs of glasses from ibudirect. I've only returned 1 or 2 pair just because they didn't look like I thought they would on me. They gave me no trouble at all.And I got a full refund.
Virtually trying on the frames was easy, uploading my prescription was easy, adding my insurance info was easy, ordering was easy, shipping was quick and the product quality is great. It took me less than 15 minutes to order from start to finish, and arrived within a week!
I have purchased at least 10 pair of glasses over the years and have never had a problem with EBD. I have recommended your company to so many people who compliment me on my glasses! Even when I had vision insurance I still used EBD. My husband has also had several pair and has been very happy!
Shipped with insufficient address, usps returned to sender. Instead of correcting the address and resending, I had to reorder and wait for processing and shipping all over again.
Even though we supposedly have "accounts" none of the passwords we have written down worked and redoing passwords was awkward. Please add a "guest" account we don't have to screw around with this every year or find another supplier.
Eyebuydirect.com does a great job of offering you options to pick from and they do a great job of describing each option along with prices so there are no surprises. Discount options are also great. I recommend eyebuydirect to anyone who is interested in saving money on eyewear.
I have about 10 pairs of your glasses and love all of them. I recommend you to anyone who is looking for new glasses. Thanks!:-)
Everything has always been great. Love your glasses, the price and the choices.
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
