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.

Another pair found on framesdirect

Website is very easy to navigate and the try on feature works really well. Shipping is straight forward end email communication from framesdirect is what I look for in a company. Another plus is the ability to bill my insurance!

order fulfillment is too slow

order fulfillment is too slow. Paid for fastest shipment/handling and it took ten days to receive order. Just to send a pair of frames that were in stock. This is not competitive in today's marketplace. Time to fill/ship is not provided in online order process. Would have gone elsewhere if I'd known. Ten days is a long time to be without glasses.

Hello Brian,

Thank you for ordering with FramesDirect. I hope you are loving your new eyeglasses. We do have estimated processing times listed on our website. For non-prescription glasses, like you ordered, the website lists the estimated processing time as 3-6 business days plus shipping. Your glasses were shipped and delivered in 5 business days. I will have a member of management reach out to you to discuss your order.

Very, very poor quality, even worse customer service

I ordered a pair of glasses with the highest quality lens + the scratch resistant coating. within 2 months my glasses were so scratched it impacted my field of vision. I only use proper cleaning clothes and spray to clean the glasses. Never in 40 years of wearing glasses have I had a lens scratch. Customer service was worthless (lectured me that scratch resistant doesn't mean scratch proof) and offered me a 20% discount to buy another pair of $1,000 glasses. Never again!

3/20/26: nobody has contacted me despite the note attached to my review. Another example of how bad these guys are. Buyer beware, they are terrible.

Purchased a pair of sunglasses

Purchased a pair of sunglasses. A week later receive an email saying the order will take up to 5 months to receive. Dear lord, why would I wait that long for a pair of non prescription glasses. Customer service line also takes incredibly too long to get in touch with someone. There should be more transparency on the website if brands and or a specific pair you are looking at are out of stock. Do better.

Hello Cici,

I apologize that the frame you selected was on such a long backorder. Unfortunately, we were not made aware of that until after the order was placed. I do see that you have been fully refunded for your order. I will have a member of management contact you to discuss your order.

Great selection for small size frames

I have always had a hard time finding a frame for my eyeglasses since I need a small kids frame but I found the perfect size I needed at Frames Direct. It's not easy to find a frame for an adult in the kids selection but Frames Direct had just what I was looking for. I love them.

Stylish, vibrant, spotlight worthy

My Ray-Ban sunglasses are the kind of accessory that quietly steals the spotlight. The design is beautiful and timeless, they feel lightweight yet solid in hand, and the polarized lenses make the world look richer and more vibrant without being harsh on the eyes. Colors pop, glare disappears, and even an ordinary walk feels a little more cinematic. Ordering online was smooth and straightforward, and while I did not need much customer support, the overall experience was pleasant and hassle free. A stylish, high quality pair that delivers exactly what you hope for when you think of Ray-Ban.

Genuine Oakley Product at a Discounted Price

I've purchased two pairs of Oakley sunglasses from this website. They all arrived promptly without issues. The sunglasses were genuine and looked pristine. I would buy from this company for other brands/products in the future.
