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.

Great Glasses@ Great Prices
April 19, 2020

I have a high/heavy prescription, which is usually expensive having to get the special thinner index lenses or they are very bulky/heavy - I'm usually quoted about $300 for these types of lenses with frames at the eye doctor. For under $100 I was able to get the super thin index lenses with UV and blue light filters and also many choices of frames. They are very lightweight, I can see great and the shipping was really quick. I was heading out of town not expecting I'd get them beforehand but got them well before leaving. Thank you!

I LOVE EYEBUYDIRECT
April 17, 2020

This was an amazing experience. Honestly I will never buy glasses in store ever again. I got 3 glasses for less than the one pair I bought in store. Ill go just to get my eyes checked once a year and after that I will just use my prescription and buy online. My eye doctor also gave me a hard time and refused to tell me my pupillary distance measurement to keep me from buying online which I absolutely disliked. I am glad I eventually got that all sorted out and I am very excited to see what new pairs I will get in the future

First time ordering from this site. I received my two pair of glasses within 2 weeks. The glasses are very nice and I've received lots of compliments on them.

I ordered 3 glasses and one came in with a cracked frame. Hopefully it will get replaced. But the other 2 are fantastic.

Almost perfect
April 10, 2020

I love the glasses I ordered. With your prices and discounts, I can't imagine ordering anywhere else.The glasses got here pretty fast with just standard shipping (in about a week counting the weekend), and were in perfect condition when I received them exactly as I had ordered them. My only problem is the perscription isnt quite right in my left eye lens and I am having a hard time trying to find out where to go to return them. My account says I have no purchase history? I don't want a refund, I just want the prescription to be right. If a half a star was an option, I would give this shopping experience 4 1/2 out 5 stars. And only because I can't seem to figure out the return process.

Nice
April 10, 2020

It's exactly how it seems, low price low quality high price high quality. I got a pair of blue light blocking glasses for $30 and they do exactly as they're meant to. I also got a pair of transitioning glasses for $60, and they're as sturdy as any $60-$120 name brand sunglasses I've owned. The cheap stuff is cheap, the expensive stuff is better. I think the appeal, personally, is the freedom of choice.

Theh payment part was confusing. I choose to sign up for the paypal 4 pmt plan and it said nothing about it as I checked out and ordered. NOW I am not sure if I actually got the pmt plan and how much are the pmts

Great glasses and service

The glasses fit great with some adjusting and the glasses arrived a lot sooner than expected considering what is currently happening. Overall, pretty great!

Nice Pair Just Not For Me
April 9, 2020
Updated review

I loved the entire process of ordering a new pair of glasses; unfortunately, I picked the wrong ones for me. I look like Harry Potter's cousin, and not in a chic nerdy way. Therefore, I'm returning mine and starting again with a new pair.

The info pop-ups are incredibly helpful! I love that there are so many resources throughout the purchasing process. From the pop-ups to videos, and even print-outs. I'm so grateful that the process was so easy.

I like that I can choose exactly the glasses that I want without sales pressure for "upgrades", including a pair between my distant and reading prescription just for the computer. Good price too.

I ordered glasses from EyeBuyDirect because the prices are reasonable and they have a lot of variety. Glasses arrived. They were child-like too small. I put in a request to have my payment credited back (to buy some larger glasses from the same company) and to send back the glasses. I was told I would hear back within 24 hours. It has been over a week now with no response. I ended up buying glasses from another company and they shipped to me in the time I have been waiting for a response about a refund and how to ship EyeBuyDirect glasses back.

Not impressed
April 9, 2020

I purposely chose an inexpensive frame because I was skeptical about buying glasses online and I'm glad I did. I don't know if it's the shape of the lens or if it's just not an accurate way of obtaining prescription glasses, but it's like looking through a fishbowl. Wearing them gives the illusion the flat ground I'm standing on is at an incline and I immediately became nauseated. I chose another slightly more expensive frame and I am waiting on that pair to see if it's an issue with the shape.
