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've been buying glasses from here for years, and I even got my parents as loyal customers now! Getting glasses here is a must! I hope more people hear about them.
We buy glasses for the entire family through Eye Buy Direct. It's easy and convenient, and their customer service team is always helpful.
Returned glasses, this is a replacement. I wanted some dark sunglasses and the transitions were very light.
The glasses are overall quite nice. The fit is good. They appeared to be somewhat foggy.
I've used eyeglass cleaner on it, and it hasn't helped much.
I like the prices & selection! I will reorder from them again.
Okay, I hope the progressive lenses are going to work for me. I already have a pair & are happy with them
I had an issue with the glasses I purchased before, the lenses popped out of the frame because the wire under the lens broke, tried to warranty it with 0 response from customer service.
Been buying from you guys for like a decade! Always buy the same pair and then a few new ones. LOVE every item I get and I love they are affordable enough I can buy many styles for myself and my kids each year!
Great value for money: Glasses (including prescription) can start from as little as ~$6–10. Even inexpensive options include anti‑glare coatings by default
Without any reference I selected eyebuydirect.com after searching online and visiting their site. It was July 4th, 2025. I selected $16 frames, in the end my glasses cost $78 with anti scratch, progressive formula, and speedy delivery. Compared with almost $500 at my eye exam place, without the exam.
I decided the risk was well worth it.
Tried them on online and purchased them.
Got them on the 14th, just 10 days after placing the order on a holiday Friday.
I think I have been recommending the site to at least one person each day every day since then
I had an issue, they sent me a new pair without me even asking.
Wasted some time selecting lens coatings etc. because the prices were not shown until i clicked through to find out each price
I love that I can coordinate every outfit with a pair of glasses due to the affordable prices.
Never had any issues great glasses! Always satisfied with price and quality of glasses
Absolutely love my glasses and that you can virtual try on! The only place I will buy my glasses.
Anti scratch/smudge lenses get scratches and smudges anyway, eventually. Plastic frames break after daily wear for about a year or two. Still worth it for the price and the cute frame styles! I've ordered the same pairs repeatedly because I love them.
Very clunky, always have to call, very aggravating. Not cheaper than at stores, and I don't get to try them on anyway
Easy Process, wide variety of glasses to choose from, easy prescription input.
I really love your glasses to. That's why I keep buying from you guys.
I love ordering glasses from you guys to. I really enjoy them to.
Great selection and seeing the sizes really help. (The only think I do not like the surprise of paying customs when they arrive... But I know you cannot do anything about that.)
I've gone from being someone who wears the same pair of glasses every day for years, to someone who changes them up almost daily and I'm spending the same money. It is amazing and had made my life more fun!
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.
