I’ve worn glasses since I was in 7th grade. For the first few years of wearing glasses I picked out of the kids section, and my glasses were still over $200. I’m sure that many of you know from experience that adult glasses can cost even more. When I first heard of eye buy direct, I was skeptical. Adult glasses that cost $80, lenses included? It’s easy to see why someone would be skeptical. However, I can say from experience that eye buy directs glasses are cheap in cost but not cheap in quality. They feel strong and have held up great.

The glasses we reviewed were for Ryan. He says they are probably the most sturdy feeling glasses he has owned. When ordering you should pay attention to the size of the glasses.You can search for ‘small, medium or large’ glasses. Then inside of each size range there are a few MM of varianece between teh different pairs of glasses. When I have ordered from eye buy direct in the past I have had some ‘small’ glsases be too large so I choose to order the smallest glasses I can find. For ryan he just picked a pair that were in the medium range and they fit pretty well although they are a tad larger than perfect, they are very doable and he didn’t care to exchange them. However, if you do get glasses that are the wrong size or don’t look good on you in person you can return them 1 time for no charge. The returned glasses are donated to those who are unable to purchase glasses.

You can upload a photo of yourself and then virtually try on the lenses you are considering. You can choose to add your photo to the wall of frames so you can have other people give you their opinion on the glasses as well.
