About Frames Direct

Written by the company

Shop Eyeglasses Shop Sunglasses Shop Prescription Sunglasses

Exceptional Quality Prescription Eyeglasses

Frames Direct was founded in 1996 by doctors who pioneered the online eyewear industry as the first to offer prescription glasses. Our founders made a pledge to sell only the lenses they would wear themselves, so you can expect the highest quality prescription lenses in the eyewear you buy from us. Each Rx lens undergoes a rigorous six-step quality assurance process and verification using innovative digital lens technology, resulting in total accuracy and lenses free of scratching, distortion, and defects—guaranteed. And we add a scratch-resistant coating to every prescription lens at no charge.

FramesDirect Offers the Widest Selection of Authentic Brand-Name Eyewear

Explore Frames Direct to find an impressive variety of genuine designer eyeglasses, sunglasses, prescription sunglasses, and goggles for men, women, and kids. We offer a wide array of throwback, contemporary, and current frame styles from favorite brands and the newest designer labels. Our inventory includes over 100,000 products and 500 authentic designer brands, from Ray-Ban, Burberry, and Persol, to Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, and many others. We offer a multitude of options in performance and task-specific eyeglasses and sunglasses from Oakley, Costa, Maui Jim, Wiley X, and more. You’ll also find contact lenses from the brands you trust, including Bausch + Lomb, Ciba Vision, CooperVision, and Vistakon—browse disposable contact lenses in single-vision options to correct near- or farsightedness, toric contacts to correct astigmatism, bifocal, or multifocal contact lenses.

Superior Customer Service

Excellent customer service is the cornerstone of Frames Direct. Our staff of highly trained and friendly opticians—most with more than 20 years of experience—is available to assist you by phone, online chat, or email. They’ll help you enter your prescription information correctly, determine your correct frame size, recommend the best lens material for your eyeglasses or prescription sunglasses, and they’ll gladly point you to the best frame options for your face shape and lifestyle. We want you to feel confident the eyewear you order from us is exactly what you need.

We offer fair prices, with savings of as much as $150 or more on prescription eyewear and many designer sunglass lines. Our prescription lenses cost about half the price you would pay at most retail optical chains. And if you find sunglasses or eyeglasses frames—in the same color and style number—on another website for less, we’ll match that price.

Had been looking for a good pair of sunglasses for running. I checked multiple websites, and Frames Direct had the best deal/price across the board. Shipping was fast. They also had a special discount, so I was able to save a few extra bucks. Would definitely buy from them again.

I’m very satisfied with both the product and the service provided. I would definitely order from FramesDirect.com again.

Best price and solid service.

Pretty simple. Did a quick query on ChatGPT to find the best deal for a standard pair of Ray Ban P Justin glasses. GPT linked me with the actual best price here at Frames Direct. So, I bought it. It came over as expected and I'm enjoying the sunglasses! Easy.

It’s not often I’m 100% satisfied with an online order experience. But when I am, it deserves a mention! Well done Frames Direct. I ordered my RayBan Meta frames without rx lenses on November 21st which is a Friday. The following Tuesday they were delivered. This is five days for delivery from date ordered, which included a Saturday and a Sunday. Color me impressed with fulfillment turn around!
The website was easy to navigate, and I found what I needed in no time with concise descriptions for the item and ordering process. I used my vision insurance and the process was quick and simple.
The frames came nicely, packaged, and as expected. Thanks guys. See you next order!

2+ Months on Backorder

I ordered glasses. Got an email that they were “in the lab”. 2-3 days later I checked the status and see that they are back ordered 4 weeks. No notification or anything.
I wait 4 weeks and check the status. Still in back order. Ultimately notified it would be another 4 weeks and then 8-10 days for production.
I called customer service and was told “it’s just how there system works”. I asked if there was any way to know if my glasses would be coming off back order on the date the system was now suggesting. The reply was, No. No way to know.
Now if I want to order a different pair I have to place a new order but need to wait 7-10 days for a refund so I can order them, hope a different pair is in stock, and then 7-10 days for them to be made.
First and last time ordering from this company.

Edit to add: 5 days ago I got a response from my complaint here saying someone would reach out. This is yet to happen.
My account is updated to say that my order is “in lab” again. When I reached out to confirm the status, I was told that it is still back ordered and not in lab.
I asked for an explanation of the discrepancy and received no response.
I would love a straightforward answer from anyone!!!
At least follow through on a response.
