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.

Great customer service and best prices on frames.

Great customer service- I will only shop with a company that has a phone number instead of an AI Chatbot
Best price on the Persol Frames than anyone out there.
Will be sending them back to have the prescription lenses put in. (Also an easy process.)

Bad Fit

The transition to reading was too low in the progressive lenses. The temples of the frame were at an angle of about 110 degrees to the front of the glasses instead of the expected 90 degrees, making the frames too wide. I was disappointed that I would have to hold them up and hold them on, making them useless. Also, very disappointed that I had to pay $9 to return them.

Hello Teresa,

I see that you have already sent the glasses in for a refund. I am sorry to hear that they were delivered with the temples wider than expected. I will have a member of management reach out to discuss your order and the refund.

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!
