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.

My doctor buys his glasses here, so I have, too! I have bought my self a pair last year, and I am buying my husband a pair, now. I LOVE my glasses, and I am sure my husband will, too. I bought the clear lenses.
The selection is pretty good and the ordering process hassle free. The fact that these are relatively inexpensive as far as glasses go, affords me the benefit of buying additional pairs to fit my mood/style. ( I get just the basic single lens glasses-that helps keep the price down). So far I'm pleased with the entire buying process.
Always on time delivery... Good products at a good price. Nice selection. Cheaper than even using my own insurance.
I love how you can upload a picture and try them on! I always get the student discount as well. Eyebuydirect is always my number one choice for frames.
That was way too easy... looking forward to receiving my cute, affordable, low maintenance glasses. If they arrive and are actually functional, I will tell everyone I know. Thank you!
Excellent quality, prices are very reasonable. I wish there was a option to ship in a couple of days once order is complete.
So easy to order, love it. I work all the time and EyeBuyDirect made it so convenient. Cutest glasses. Inexpensive. Good quality glasses. I ordered three pair.
Love the ease & professionalism. Customer service is outstanding & I get many compliments on all of my glasses
Really easy to select and order glasses. This is my second time to order from here. I would highly recommend this site to anyone.
I keep coming back to EyeBuyDirect and plan to come back time and time again. Keep allowing for great choices of glasses.
I love being able to find affordable glasses. Wish shipping was faster but overall everything else is perfect.
Cute styles, different looks compared to same old eye doctor office picks, and amazing affordable prices, all sorts of information and tools to help make sure measurement of lenses is accurate for you love, love the site must recommend to everyone
Great prices and very good looking glasses.
Easy to shop and very easy to order. I will definitely order again.
This is the 6th time I try, before I was trying to set a different shipping address from billing address and I know I was doing it right and it wouldnt let me. So it was frustrating, nowthat I bought the glasses I couldnt get the same discounts because promos change, so very frustrating
Website is designed for easy navigation and process is quick and easy. I will definitely recommend this website to friends and family.
Great alternative to some of the name brand brick & mortar stores. Will be shopping again next year.
Although a discount and free shipping were "offered" (for first time customer), neither was available when it came to checkout. Couldn't delete one of two pairs of glasses from the order prior to checkout. Had to go to another computer to place the order. Not a good experience.
Pros:
- Friendly web interface. Details in product information.
- Quality is okay, but good looking frames for under $50.
- Lenses are cheap. Cant' complain at $6.95.
- Variety of styles.
- Fast shipping.
Cons:
- Coupons will never apply on sale products.
- Never offer free shipping. $5.50 is not much, but customers will blindly pay for a mark-up price items and get free shipping. Marketing 101. Look at what Amazon has been doing for years.
My only reason to come back here is because Costco and Zenni did not have the frames I was looking for. If you want a good looking and cheap pair of eyeglasses, this website is a right place. If you are willing to get great quality lenses and frames, go with Costco or Zennioptical.
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
