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.

I've ordered several times over the years. Glasses are great and hold up well. Almost always perfect. One pair had wrong nose diameter listed which meant I ordered a "similar style" that kept sliding down once but considering the number of orders - one not perfect is pretty fabulous. And returns are easy.
Nice glasses. I had to call customer service twice because I wasn't sure about measuring and the difference in transition lenses. My phone call was answered right away, and they explain things to me in detail. I bought 2 pair so far.
I've purchased EBD glasses for 5+years
They have even faster shipping now that they've grown. Frames have gotten more expensive over the years but still beats retailers.
I was worried about ordering prescription lenses online, but because of friends' positive experiences, I visited the website. The steps of "trying on" frames was fun. The entire process of a pleasant surprise. And the eyeglasses that arrived exceeded my expectations.
Have purchases glasses from other sites, and have problems. No problems here at Eyebuydirect. Ez to use menus, fairly quick to receive glasses. And they are CORRECT the first time
Thanks,

I've purchased 5 times from them and have never been disappointed and I get SO many compliments on all of my sunglasses and glasses. They have great prices and great customer service!
EyeBuyDirect delivers great quality, stylish frames, and fast service at unbeatable prices. Ordering is easy, prescriptions are accurate, and the virtual try-on tool is reliable. Customer service is responsive and hassle-free, especially with replacements or adjustments. Excellent value and consistently smooth experiences—highly recommended.
Great value for money: Glasses (including prescription) can start from as little as ~$6–10. Even inexpensive options include anti‑glare coatings by default
It took nearly a month to get my frames. I kept receiving cheery little messages about how they were working hard on my order but I would receive them soon, etc. More important there never was an explanation. When I received the frames they looked the way I had expected and they fit well. I have now taken them for lenses. But I do not intend to use eyebuydirect again.
I bought a pair of inexpensive eyeglasses to test out the site. I was happy with the service, so now I am buying a more expensive/higher quality option.
I have ordered all my glasses from here for the last five years and I won't be changing any time soon. If there is an issue eyebuydirect is on top of it right away, best costumer service. Good quality too, just because there are discounts or "cheaper" options, it's high quality.
We ordered a pair of glasses my daughter picked out, and she absolutely loves them. The ordering process was easy, and they arrived much faster than expected. I was so impressed that I ordered another pair for my other daughter. I would definitely recommend EyeBuyDirect to anyone.
Checkout process made me enter my card information 4 times and kept telling me to refresh my page before I could check out. I did multiples times and it still wouldn't work.
Smoother than the current effort in submitting and completing an order. Software hangups and "chat support" were ineffective in smoothing out the kinks.
The website was difficult to get around in to get he Tesla needed. The glasses were to have transition lenses and they are barely darkened in the sunlight. Wanted 1.75 readers, but didn't get them. On a good note, the frames are nice. LASTLY, had no way of contacting EyeBuyDirect by phone for customer service huge disappointment).
I've ordered several pairs of glasses from eye direct and I've never been disappointed. The quality is the same as what I would expect from my eye doctor at more than half the price. The prescription is exactly correct every time. I have bifocals and they are perfect!
I bought a pair of glasses from here two years ago, and they're still doing well! They're flexible enough to be sat on a few times lol and cheaper than the ones they were selling at my dr's office.
Bought two pair of glasses, but it took two weeks to get them.
Also when I tried to get prescription sunglasses, the site said none of the glasses would work for my prescription but I was able to get the exact prescription with the same glasses on another site, so I know they were not telling the truth, now I dont trust them.
I do love the glasses I get, however the quality is just not there. During my first time buying, shipping took over a month. The glasses themselves have lasted me about a year and a half. However during this time my lenses have gotten scratched, the metal around the nose pads began oxidizing making the nose pads blue, and a nose pad completely fell off. Not to mention the fact that the glasses have a hard time staying on my face, which I don't necessarily care about since they stay on well enough but it was worth the mention.
Again I do plan to purchase from here again. But those are some noteworthy issues.
Glasses were very reasonable and available from a very large selection of frames. Fast delivery. Perfect fit. Quite a number of strangers have come up to me and complimented me on the frames and have been impressed to hear what a good buy a person gets from Eyebuydirect.
Everything arrived as described. Quality was better than expected, best quality glasses I have purchased regardless of price. Prescription was spot on.
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
