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.

Customer Support was fantastic, much more helpful than my typical experience with other stores. They got me the right glasses quickly without any hassle and made sure I was able to get back to seeing perfectly.
So far, very good. Sent a question & the response was very timely in return.
The product is great but the time to receive the item leaves me contemplating if I will ever buy another pair from you.
My daughter went away for a couple of weeks. She received the glasses. Within a day or two, the lenses were loose.
Very unhappy about the first time we purchase from EyeBuyDirect
As the second time choosing eyewear, this was an easy process. I first checked the previous eyewear I'd bought to confirm what size my glasses were, then filtered my search according to my size and shape of preference. I narrowed down my search and used the site's software to try on the glasses virtually. It is a little faulty as sometimes the glasses appear way bigger or smaller than they really are, however I got an accurate fit by messing with the PD. My last resource were the review photos left by customers to get an idea of what the glasses actually looked like in real life. A satisfying process, really.
Price and delivery were a little more unsatisfactory however. I bought two frames, one new and one that I had already brought before. The new frames I bought with regular shipping time. However, this time the frames that I already owned were available only for 2-day-delivery, thus were marked at a higher price. I had no problems with this higher price and expected my 2-day-delivery frames to arrive earlier than the new frames I'd ordered. Instead, they both arrived on the same day. This kind of disappointed me because it defeated the purpose of paying the mandatory $19 extra as the shipment time for both frames ended up being the same. Thus, instead of 5 stars, I give the shipment 4 stars. Otherwise, no problems. Package arrived in great condition and there were no visible scratches on the glasses. Love the glasses and will continue buying and recommending.
The prices are really good and very easy to order.
I've purchased eyeglasses from eyebuydirect for several years. I like the value and the fact that since it saves so much money, I'm able to have several pairs. I have recommended eyebuydirect to many people and I have heard no negative comments.
THE BEST PART WAS THE EXCELLENT SERVICE THAT I RECEIVED FROM YOUR STAFF. THEY WERE VERY COURTIOUS, VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND HELPFUL IN EVERY WAY. UNFORTUNATELY I HAD TO RETURN THE FIRST PAIR BECAUSE THEY TURNED OUT TO BE TOO BIG FOR MY FACE AND FELL OFF AND THE LENSE GO CHIPPED. I CALLED TO RETURN THEM AND A REPLACEMENT PAIR IS ON THEIR WAY WITH NO HASSEL AND ABSOLUTRLY NO EXPENSE EXPENSE INCURRED. I AM RECOMMENDING EBD TO EVERYONE I KNOW THANKS
They read my Rx very well. I was afraid it would be wrong but I haven't had any issues. I paid half of what I normally pay.
I love eyebuydirect and have been purchasing tons of glasses for my entire family but this time it took way to long to receive my daughter's order
I received glasses with a new prescription, but the prescription just didn't work for me. EBD was so great and allowed me to return the glasses and waited for me to get a new prescription and then sent out my new pairs with the updated prescription. Super easy and great customer service.
I'm overjoyed with my new frames, they're gorgeous! I've had nothing but positive experiences with this site and I'll definitely buy from them again in the future.
Smooth sailing, just wish that the $19 glasses didn't have such a price difference in the same lenses. Was cheaper to buy the more expensive frame?
Very happy with the glasses will order more soon! Wasn't sure how they would be, they are great!
Not sure what the lenses are made of, couldn't seem to find out
I think the quality of the sunglasses were very good!, did not take as much time as I though it would!
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.
