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.

Whyyyyy have so many coupons if we can't take advantage of them? I don't understand. BUT very cute glasses!
Very efficient company... Glasses were perfect and just what I hoped for. My face is extremely tiny and the small yet in style glasses fit my face just great. Really impressed for a first time user.
Very happy with the selection process, tracking of my previous orders, and price. I have been back several times of the years
These are not heavy duty or long lasting. They look good though. I buy them for the look so I can change up. When worn daily they break. I've had 3 pair break after about 6 months daily wear. I've replaced them rather than deal with customer service and only wear on light duty. Prescription varies slightly each time too. You get what you pay for...
Eye buy direct has offered a one-stop shop to buy super cute glasses at an affordable price. The lenses are in great condition and last a long time.
I have ordered four pairs of progressives, and they have all been wonderful. The prices can't be beat.
Have been using EyeBuyDirect since 2005. The products (frames and lenses) are high quality, and have lasted many years of use for me (and I'm terrible at taking care of my glasses). They have a massive selection, along with great prices. Support is awesome too! If you're not sure, try buying one at first and see for yourself.
It didn't keep the dimensions of the image I submitted, which made all of the glasses look out of proportion.

Easy to view, browse, review, change my mind and come back to eventually order. Waiting for the order but loved looking for a week or more and my cart still kept my info
It is actually easier to "try on" frames virtually using a photograph (and keeping track of the ones you like!) than it is in a traditional store.
Everything went well in the online order UNTIL the checkout! Had MAJOR problems getting the payment information to work correctly. First, I used the Amazon checkout which originally allowed me to use the Amazon credit card [versus major cc] - then the 4th item for checkout would not work and I went back to re-enter the Amazon info and it would NOT allow me to use the Amazon credit forcing me to re-enter everything for ALL four items. After four tries, I finally elected to use my PayPal account and finally it worked.
For the record, I contacted Amazon who said there is no issue with my account and that it should have been processed. I suggest that EyeBuyDirect review its payment screen and clean up its processing! Think I'm being generous giving it a 4-star rating BUT all else went well with the exception of the payment processing.

Thank you.
I've bought a lot of glasses online (no time to go to an actual store). EyeBuyDirect has by far the easiest website to use. I was able to 'try on' any glasses I wanted and submit my prescription. I loved the downloadable PD measurement and video.
I've been buying my glasses from EBD for years. I love that you can make any style into reading, distance, or sunglasses. And they ALWAYS have a promotion going on to save money!
This is the best way to buy my daughter attractive and affordable glasses. She can have several pair to go with her wardrobe.
I consistently find such a wide selection of frames I love that I have a hard time choosing! Which is why I usually wind up buying two ;) (P.S. I took this photo in the correct orientation; no idea why it loaded sideways!)
I've used this website for two years and I'm in love. The price is great. Some of the products are a little cheaply made, but when one pair is $15 rather than $400, replacing isn't so bad.
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
