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.

No delivery and poor service

After the date for delivery had passed I contacted FramesDirect. Received a reply that acted like I had just ordered, instead of several weeks earlier. The reply obviously didn't check the order and said to wait the normal shipping period (which of course had already passed). No acknowledgement of the delay. Took my business elsewhere.

Good deals

Often with sales I am able to find glasses cheaper here than with my eye benefits, and in the frames I originally wanted! Once again satisfied with my most recent order 2159254. Thanks!

Great selection, affordable prices, love my glasses!

Had a great experience overall with Frames Direct. Used my prescription from my local eye doctor to order a backup pair of glasses online at a great price. Because I was ordering the exact same pair I bought in person, just in a different color, I was very confident in ordering online. I've done this twice now, and it's been great. While shipping took a little longer than I expected, they were worth the wait. Look and feel great. Would highly recommend.

Was looking explicitly for Easy Clip frames because I love the magnetic clip on sun glasses. I was able to find my size in a style I liked. And I was able to apply my insurance!

Commerce website was clunky

Commerce website was clunky, clumsy and difficult to navigate. It was difficult to move selection to shopping cart and then it took several attempts to provide payment and shipping information.

10/10 experience!

I stumbled on to Framesdirect while glasses shopping, as they had the frames I was looking for and offered the best price+options for me. Entering insurance information was very straightforward, and after uploading my prescription I received my new glasses within ~2 weeks. Would happily recommend and will gladly shop with them again!

Exchange process is poor

Initial order went smooth but I had to process an exchange and there is no insight or communication regarding the replacement frames. It has been over a week and I have no idea when I’ll receive the new frames or if they’re even being processed

inventory not reliable

I ordered a pair of glasses, got an email they were out of stock, and when I went to order a different frame the first frames were still on the website.

After picking different frames I had no issues.

I would have given 5⭐️’s but I didn't like the amber/grey lenses. Yuk! I ordered brown turquoise frames and thought the lenses were a light brown to match frames. Boy was I surprised and would have shopped elsewhere for the brown lenses. I had a previous pair like this and they went missing. I was replacing the item, because I really liked this specific type of sunglasses and it had BROWN lenses. Overall these specific sunglasses are fabulous, and GUESS did their thing on this type of frame.
