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.

Good overall

Once I picked a frame that was actually available (some frames are listed as in stock but not actually available), the order was processed and shipped in about three weeks. I wish they would take the 30 secons to round off the corner on the perimeter of the lenses. The machines used to cut lenses to fit the frame can do this in under 30 seconds but I guess this is too much to ask for. This sharp edge can potentially cause a laceration in an accident. Some lens fitters will remove this edge others won't. Besides that the frames were reasonably priced and the prescription was correct.

Dear Lucas,
We appreciate your feedback. We're sorry some frames appeared in stock when they weren't. We'll review our inventory accuracy. We'll also look into lens edge finishing for safety. We're glad the prescription was correct and the frames were reasonably priced.
Have a great day!
Best,
Leslie

The selection of frames is great especially for my son who is extremely picky what he wants. However, ordering online wasn't the most user friendly experience. I had to start over several times.

Long time repeat customer

Long time repeat customer. I’ve purchased about a dozen prescription Oakley glasses, both single vision and sunglasses, over the past ten years. Same high end products that you can buy locally, at a much better price. Their customer service is exceptional. Proactive communication throughout the purchasing and preparation process. I will not purchase glasses anywhere else. Highly recommend.

Reordering Issue

My purchase was good. However, I am trying to order another pair for my daughter and can't get past the payment information step. It keep saying there is an issue. It has been several weeks and the same issue keeps occurring as if I do not have sufficient funds. But I do as I have made other purchases with the card perfectly fine!

Perfect, best I've tried

I bought the oculus quest 2 lenses. They are perfect. They dont fall off like other brands, I can actually scratch my nose without them popping off. There is no glare and perfect vision.

As a repeat customer who purchases frames without lenses and has them finished locally, I find your website detailed, intuitive, and efficient. The photos and descriptions are precise, and the products always meet expectations. I’m very happy with my purchases. My only recommendation is to enhance the cushioning inside the shipping boxes to protect the glasses even more—although I’ve never received a damaged item.
