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.

Ordering nightmare

I’ve ordered from a competitor a number of times and never had an issue with my prescriptions. Natasha at Frames Direct not only insisted that I upload a copy of my rx, she then questioned it and wouldn’t take my word for what I wanted. I am the one purchasing the glasses, don’t you think I assume all risk? Ridiculous, I paid for them a month ago and still nothing and now she is insisting I go to my eye doctor and get a new prescription, one to her liking apparently. Nope, cancelled the order and never again

Honestly in the past I would have given 5 stars, as they were usually easy to work with, but this time around, not so much.
The person who would not name themself, was very condescending in the email chain. Made accusations in the emails that were not true. Basically turned the experience into a bad one. I usually order several sets of glasses for my entire family. Next time going somewhere else.

Prescription Glasses Order was perfect!

I ordered a pair of prescription glasses online from Frames Direct and this was the first time that I wasn't buying them in store. As you can imagine I was a little concerned about potential issues.

All those fears were put to rest by the professional handling and communication from the company. They kept me updated with the progress of the order which was surprisingly swift. When the glasses arrived I was thrilled with the quality and the prescription was perfect.

I will 100% use them again in the future!

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.
