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.

Excellent option to save money on prescription glasses. The website is very simple to use and it walks you through all the steps needed to complete your order.
I love this site. It makes vilifying eyeglasses and shades so easy for the family! I recommend it all the time.
My adult kids and I have all been buying from eyebuydirect for years. We each have 6-10 pair. My progressive bifocals cost so little I have a bunch of them & match them to my clothes like jewelry. The last pair I bought at an opticians cost $425
About a year ago I got a new eye exam and was ready to purchase new glasses, the price was more than 500.00, I though it over and decided it was too much. I took me a year of trying out different websites and finally I ran into to Eyebuydirect, I have ordered 2 pairs and I am hooked, they are great quality, stylish and price including prescription is reasonable. I can see clearly and I wear progressive, I am getting compliments from people who never notice anything I wear. I did buy a pair that was too heavy for me and returned them; got a refund and purchased another pair no problem, everything is seamless. It does take two weeks all together to receive the glasses but they are worth the wait.
I love the try on feature, and the deals are to die for. I also like that you can put in the specific measurements for the different parts of your glasses. What I didn't like: My prescription falls between the biopters they offer; when you put your measurements into the search feature, the first glider is easy, but then the 2nd one won't move unless you go do another one first AND if you get a pair of glasses all the way to the car and want to go back to get another pair, you have to reenter all the info; the search kept including frames that were not within my parameters, so I had to double check them all the time.
I have always loved this site and today when got hung in no progression land, leslie came to the live chat rescue. She fixed it in seconds...
Im too lazy and blind to go out and try out new frames at my local optometry because every time I do, I have to go up super close to the mirror to see if it suits me and it usually doesnt help. And dont get me started with how pricey the super nice ones are. I heard about this site from my friend and decided to check it out. Everything is cute and affordable, and I love it. Im not sure how the Try Outs are with the pictures though like how accurate they are. Hopefully, I can always return it. I may even start a whole collection with frames if I like the ones I ordered.
I liked the website and thought it was easy to use with lots of options. So my review is for the website. I can't review the company itself until I actually get my glasses, try them out, see what works if I want to return a pair, etc.
I love rimless glasses! But at the eye Dr, they are usually over $400. With EyeBuyDirect, I get better choices and the glasses are GREAT quality and for a GREAT price! I LOVE the water resistant coating! Makes them so easy to clean! The last ones I got were Silver Line, and have been my most favorite glasses in my entire life! I know I will love the ones I just ordered... but PLEASE bring Silver Line back!
I've never had any major issues. Quality glasses at excellent prices. I've just ordered my fifth pair of glasses from the outstanding services of EyeBuyDirect.
Whenever I need new glasses EyeBuyDirect is the first place I go. The quality of the glasses is top notch and the variety of choices is comparable to any brick and mortar. The best aspect is the price, you can't beat their pricing.
This was my first time ordering glasses online. The proof will be when I get the glasses... As for ordering, it was okay, but I had a tutorial from the nurse at the optometrist. She advised me to make sure I get my PD before leaving the office. Also, I learned there the size of the glasses needed for my face and NPD. I don't recall if I saw NPD on the site. Will add another review once I get the glasses.
Hands down the best website to order glasses. My suggestion is always get the buy one get one free, because if you do not like the first pair at least you have a backup. I know it can be scary to buy something you cant try on but for the prices they have its worth the risk. From by experience out of 10 pairs ordered i didnt like maybe 1 or 2. Pretty good odds.
This was the first time I tried to order on line. It took me 5 tries because it was a little confusing. Still don't know if I had information input correctly. Papillary Distance I know nothing about and it was not on my prescription. I hope that what I ordered is sent.
Loved the chance to use a photo to check the styles - the pupil measuring bit was a bit tricky but suppose won't know if we got it right or wrong till the package arrives
Easy to use website and it doesn't slow down my MAC like other websites. They have the option of uploading your own picture and try on glasses. It doesn't really match our face but it gives us some taste of how it would look on us. What is really helpful are those comments and pictures of the buyers. I would shout out to those who posted good angle and clear pictures of the glasses on them, thanks!
Easy and straight forward ordering. Love to ability to try in on virtually. Cost is affordable. Also appreciate the money back guarantee... waiting to try it on. Hope it fits well.
There were a lot of nice glasses to choose from. I love the variety and that it was really easy to search and order. I love the money back guarantee as well if I'm satisfied with my purchase. Also, love that I'm able to do a 14 day trial.
It was quick and easy and affordable glasses. I am very picky when it comes to glasses but Eye Buy Direct was spot on for what i wanted! I love my new glasses and i get excited to wear them every day!
Great prices and cute frames! There's also a number of great coupon codes out there for the site. I only just placed my order, so I'll be sure to give an updated review if my opinion changes once the specs arrive. For now, I am thoroughly pleased!
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
