Eyebuydirect Reviews Summary

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.

Love love love this site
October 27, 2017

I come here for all of my glasses and sunglasses. So much cheaper than purchasing at the eye doctor and amazing quality. I have over 10 pairs I've purchased from EyeBuyDirect and have never been more satisfied.

Love this site! Especially how I can virtually try glasses on. Discount code comes on a card after you place your initial order. Nice 25% off perk for your second order.

Every time I go to my eye doctor's, he never has large frames. I was ecstatic to find so many here! Thank you so much, I can't wait to see even more variety in the future.

My wife bought 2 pairs of very good looking frames with prescription lenses from EyeBuyDirect last year (just over $200). While wearing her favorite pair about a month ago, she heard an audible "pop" - one of the lenses had come out, leaving a broken frame, most likely from the lens not being cut properly and placing undue stress on the frame. With one pair lost, she began to wear the second pair, which she had previously only wore on occasion. Lo and behold, the exact same thing happened - an audible "pop", and the lens came out, leaving yet another broken frame.

Neither me nor my wife have ever had anything like this happen with a pair of glasses we've owned. This is poor workmanship, and since it's been over a year, there's nothing my wife can do about it but buy her next pair of glasses from someone else.

I am really disappointed about the product from this company and how they treat their customer. We pay, they make money and if it goes wrong, f the customer.

I've bought a pair in late october 2016. I always have been really gentle with these glasses. I usually wear them before going to bed to read few chapters. I let them near my bed. My first pair broke four months after getting them. The upper part on the left corner broke. There was no shock, no falling, it just broke between my hands. I was taking them off. That's it. No trauma.

I wrote them an email and after SEVERAL DAYS I've got a response from the company. They will send me another pair for the shipping fees. They can replace it only one time.
It seems fair. As soon as I get them, I try to not use them as much as I woule because I'm kind of scare of what could be happening.

I use them as always. I don't wear them on a daily basis. After another four months, they break again...

This time, I'm getting upset. Two pairs in less than a year. I write them again.

They answer me that they will not replace it but they can give me an incredible 15% off if I buy a new pair...
AMAZING. They send me two pairs over nine months. They broke both of them and they want me to pay again to get another one. I know their policy but it's clearly not normal that glasses can only last for four months. I know that I didn't pay 400 bucks but come on, it's unbelievable than product are not make to least more than two or three years...

HORRIBLE SERVICE
August 7, 2017

It took 1 week for my glasses to arrive and they were bent. After sending pics to CS, they said they would send me new ones. However, they WOULD NOT offer expedited shipping unless I paid an extra $23! Of course I declined. It's been ANOTHER 1 week already and my new pair STILL HASN'T SHIPPED. It's the same frame and prescription as the bent ones.

VERY SATISFIED
July 23, 2017

I ordered a pair of glasses less than two weeks ago and I have already received them in the mail. The frames are very comfortable and the lenses are perfect. The ordering process was very simple and I am VERY pleased with how affordable they are. I will most definitely recommend EyeBuyDirect to friends and I will be a returning customer!

I measured my PD wrong when ordering my glasses. After emailing customer service less than 30 minutes afterwards, they told me that pupillary distance wouldn't matter. My glasses came and I can't even wear them for more than an hour without getting a terrible migraine. Save yourself the hassle and shop somewhere where the workers actually know what they're talking about.

Very impressed by service and quality. I shopped around for about two weeks to find the best price with all my requested options(progressive, transition, polarized), and EyeBuyDirect had the prices of their competitors beat by $100.
Ordered the evening of July 4th, and glasses arrived July 11th. Will buy again from them, not only because of their pricing, but also the quality of the product they delivered.

Returned a pair of silver line with uneven bifocils. At first I was told I could not return them and then was contacted with e mail to return them and sent a mail in address. That was very nice and it took a month for them to be returned. The drilling on the lens was exactly the same as the pair I sent back, exactly 1/16 off on exactly the same lens. That seems impossible, so here is what happened, they returned the origional glasses thinking I would not notice. This is at least ten pairs of glasses we have purchased with no complaints. Just so you know that I know. Will keep them.

I received my order within 1.5 weeks of ordering. I suspect reviewers who had longer shipment times had more complex orders or specific requests for their lenses. The glasses were good quality, and came in beautiful packaging. I also recommend the glasses cases that they sell. Great price -- much better than buying in most stores. Will definitely be making another purchase next time I need new glasses.

I bought the MINUIT sunglasses; the whole process of getting them- went to where I got my prescription done and asked for a print out of my prescription (they legally have to give you one if you ask b/c it is your medical record, fyi!), then picked out a pair of glasses after using the virtual try on with my mac webcam, stuck it in my cart and put in my prescription which is super simple, hit order and received eyebuydirect's courteous email updates about the making and shipping process and what was happening with my pair of glasses, They came in the mail in 5 days, exactly as the website says in a lovely little box full equipped with in a scratch resistant bag and a little screw tool for the the side screws incase they fall off. The glasses themselves are great, lenses are awesome (clear, absolutely no imperfections, and no glare lenses). The price is such a bonus to the whole package. I have already recommended this website service to friends and family. 10/10!

I've bought prescription glasses from this company several times over the last 5 years, never a disappointment. I've had to return a pair before, the return service was simple. You get what you pay for in terms of quality; if the frames are cheap compared to other frames from EBD, the build quality will be cheap. I'd recommend them, you're not rolling a dice, your order arrives promptly and in the allotted timeframe.

Where are my glasses?
February 16, 2017

They said it would take MAXIMUM up to 10 business days, and in most cases getting in 4 business days. It has been 13 business days, and while they do pick up the phone, all they can tell me it is "my order is in process". I am not happy about going this long without being able to see!
