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.

What can I say except that I’m deeply disappointed.

I ordered Versace prescription glasses with Amber Gen S Transition lenses. Unfortunately, the coating on one of the lenses failed in less than two weeks. I returned them for service under the 30-day warranty, and while they did remake the lenses, the new ones were returned loose in the frame.

Now I’m left with two options: pay out of pocket to have someone else fix FramesDirect’s mistake, or send the glasses back a second time and wait weeks for yet another repair. I likely will have to take them local to repair them because I can't wait endless weeks for warranty service. Frankly I am tempted to submit a claim to my credit card company at this point for any repair adjustment.

This is the same frustrating experience I’ve had with FramesDirect in the past. I’m not the type of customer who returns items for no reason, but when a company is going to make and install prescription lenses, they should get it right the first time—not on the second or third attempt. The customer service has been consistently poor over the years. It's always problem after problem after problem anytime I order from this company. Truly a terrible experience! You get what you pay for, I guess.

Hello William,

I apologize that you received your glasses with defective lenses. That should not have happened once, let alone two times. We would love the opportunity to make this right. I will have a member of management reach out to you to discuss your order.

Waste of time.

Wasted over two weeks for frames that were no longer available. After about a week I received and email that the frames would take an additional 5-7 days to arrive for the lenses to be put in. After more than 2 weeks of waiting my order was cancelled due to frames no longer being available from the manufacturer. You need to do a better job of showing what’s actually available on your site so people aren’t wasting time waiting for something that isn’t an option and could instead find other places to purchase what they want in a timely manner. Not a fan of your site and will be purchasing through somewhere else with actual available options to choose from.

Hello Jake,

I want to apologize that there were inventory issues with the frame you selected. When you initially placed your order, we were informed by the vendor that the frame was on backorder. We were told later that the frame had been discontinued and was no longer available. At that point, you were refunded in full. I understand how frustrating that can be. I will have a member of management reach out to discuss your order.

Great experience, fast shipping, and a perfect fit. It helped that I already knew which frames to select, and can't weigh in on the accuracy of the facial measurement scans, etc.

Great sunglasses as advertised!

I had seen these polarized Ray Ban sunglasses in an eyeglass shop, however they were out of my price range. I searched online and found them at Frames Direct for a lot less! I received them quickly and I love them! I will be purchasing new prescription eyeglasses from them as well!

Box was crushed during shipping…

Box was crushed during shipping misaligning the frames. Soft case in cluded with the frames are not protectective of the wire frames clamshell case would have been better. Frames were correct as ordered and once adjusted I should be happy with them. Also I couldn't find that Frames direct carrys the manufacturer (Shuron) clip-ons for these glasses so I'll have to get those through a different vendor or the manufacturer.
