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.

Top shelf for affordable prices. My eyes are happy and my wallet is heavier after the savings. Thank you very much for the Buy One Get One coupon.
Best way to shop & buy eye/sun glasses. I've ordered 9 pair. One pair needed to be sent back in exchange from progressive to bifocal. Another pair, the frame arm broke. Both returns was FREE without hassle.
I will ALWAYS buy EYEBUYDIRECT.!;-)
It has taken me a year of trying to convince myself to buy glasses online. I hesitated so long because I thought there must be a Vast difference in quality of the product due to the price difference... but after pricing the deals at the more traditional Eyeglass Retail Stores which averaged over $900 for 2 pair compared to the $230 price for 2 pair of EyeBuyDirect glasses I Very Nervously took the plunge! My other hesitation was over how long it might take to receive my order... AS OF TODAY ALL OF MY FEARS WERE SHATTERED as of today Aug. 28th, SEVEN days after placing my order I received the glasses. THESE PROGRESSIVE LENSES actually feel More correcting of my vision than any pair of glasses I have ever owned. Excellent Price and Product.!
I was confused as to selection of sunglasses. I thought I could just select my current style and make them sunglasses. Doesn't seem to work that way, hoping what I ordered works.
So far I don't have to speak with customer support because I don't have an issue. Prices are nicely acceptable, much lower than I find elsewhere, I can usually find a cool frame I can live with, NEVER pass up a coupon discount.
Used the try on feature, but glasses appeared at the top of the picture and could not be adjusted. May have been operator error as this was my first time using this site.
I have gotten 6 pairs now from this company and each time I have received my glasses in a timely matter, in nice cases, and whenever I have had a problem they are super quick to fix it. Love each pair I have bought (especially since I change my look like twice a year). 10/10 for them!
Very pleased with my purchases. Quality frames, lenses and service at a fraction of the cost of the brick and mortar stores. There was an error on my distance glasses which turned out to be MY mistake. EBD replaced the glasses at no charge and paid the shipping to have me return the original pair. That is going beyond, in my opinion. So happy with my prescriptions that I've ordered a second pair of my readers for my purse. Love this company and highly recommend there services.
Easy checkout. Good quality glasses for a low price. I really enjoyed my experience anyone who is thinking about using this website do so!
This site is so easy to use and I love all the photos of models with the glasses and then the reviews have photos as well. It really helps. I was shopping a lot of websites but kept coming back because the choice of frames, the pricing, and the ease of the website was by far the best!
I can not say enough WONDERFUL things about my experience with EyeBuyDirect!
Easy, Affordable, the list goes on and on!
Recently, 3 people have stopped me in the airport to ask where I got my frames. They are shocked when I tell them from an online store. Send me business cards to hand out, as I can't stop talking about my positive experience with EBD!
I'm so happy I found this site. I do not have eye insurance so I have put off new glasses for 8 years. I can't believe how easy this was.
Good selection of frames and lenses. I was trying to order a duplicate pair of glasses with identical specs. While the order history has all the details of prior purchase, I was not able reorder the same item without having to go through the painful process of filling all the details. This process could be simplified for reorders.
I have been buying glasses from IBD for several years. I had to try out various designs until I settled on what works, but that's online buying and I have no complaints. The Help functions however are completely inadequate. The chat function starts by asking for an email and then results in an email 3 days after attempting to use it. Email contact is no quicker. Bottom Line--inexpensive (and cool, sometimes really cool) glasses but be sure of what you want because there is no help. Probably that is the price for "inexpensive". Works for me, but then I used to buy at Lens Crafters.
I am so happy with EyeBuyDirect. I started buying my prescription eyeglasses a few years ago from this website. I do have insurance through work who gives about $200 annually towards glasses or contacts so I always use my insurance towards yearly contacts, and ask my eye dr for my eye glass RX & order them from here! They come right in the mail & I've never has an issue. =)
I have ordered many glasses from EyeBuyDirect because I love the prices and styles! Also if you are a student you can get awesome discounts! If you don't like your style, returning is super easy! They also donate the other pair - which is fantastic!
I just ordered 2 pairs of eyeglasses for less than the usual price of 1. If after figuring out all the measuring etc., etc., I hope it all works out but I AM excited.
I dropped my first pair in a canal never to be seen again. I loved the glasses and the whole web ordering process that I purchased another pair!
Alex walked me through the whole thing and I got 2 pairs!
Can't wait to get them!
Never had tow pairs of glasses before and if all turns out as well as I think I will differently use EYE BUY DIRECT for all my future glasses
Love how you can virtually try on glasses, and if there is anything wrong, you can send back. Great prices on lenses!
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
