Eyebuydirect Reviews Summary

The company has garnered a solid reputation for providing affordable, quality eyewear, with many customers praising the extensive selection and effective virtual try-on feature. Satisfaction with product quality is prevalent, particularly for prescription glasses, which are often noted as a cost-effective alternative to traditional retailers. However, concerns regarding slow shipping times and excessive communication, particularly following orders, have been highlighted as significant drawbacks. While most customers express overall satisfaction, the inconsistency in delivery and customer service experiences indicates room for improvement in operational efficiency and support responsiveness.

Affordable quality
February 13, 2026

They have so many styles and all of them are less expensive than going to the vision places, you're not forced to spend 400 for 2 pairs or 300 for 1pair. Choose your frame. Choose your lense, then wait a few days and you got your new frames. Accidents happen, I stepped on my glasses last week. Except this time around it's only a 20-30 dollar accident.

Returning Happy Customer
February 13, 2026

Have been purchasing glasses here since 2020 because they are great quality, easy to work with if you have any problems. Not to mention half the price I have been paying elsewhere.

Best of the Best
February 12, 2026

This is my 3rd pair and my husband has 2 pairs. Their customer service is better than any other. I've had a scratch on a lense, they sent me a whole new pair. I entered the wrong prescription for my glasses and they fixed the problem. It wasn't even their mistake, it was mine. They're quick, responsive, reliable, and thorough. I will always use Eye Buy Direct.

The site was slow and borderline unusable, i pushed through because i knew what i was looking for and could find it. But if i was browsing, it would have been really difficult and i likely would have gone elsewhere

Great service and great glasses
February 12, 2026

I've been using EyeBuy for almost 7 years now. All my glasses have been great. I had one bad experience with the glasses not being made right (a big off-center) but they promptly replaced them.

So easy to order prescription glasses!
February 12, 2026

I love ordering my prescription glasses and sunglasses through EBD. They make ordering super easy by saving my prescription. I always get a ton of compliments on my glasses. I've ordered several pairs and always recommend EBD to friends!

Not satisfied
February 12, 2026

I accidentally placed an order without updating shipping address and I was told by customer support since it is 2 day shipping they can not cancel or modify the order. This is very inconvenient because I literally just placed the order and seconds later realized the order was going to an old address. There is no excuse as to why my address on the order could not be updated. I could understand if I waited hours to notify someone of the mistake but it was literally seconds after the order was placed.

I had to exchange my last pair b/c the frame was warped. After having them for about 18 mos the lenses developed a film on them that I cannot remove no matter what I try.

Great quality glasses at a very reasonable prices. Their website is very complete and it's easy to order the right glasses. They will sometimes even call you to confirm that you are ordering what you need.

Great customer service
February 11, 2026

We have bought our glasses from Eyebuydirect for close to 7 years. We order a new pair every year after our annual eye exam with our new prescription! One year we put the prescriptions in incorrectly and the customer service team was so helpful with getting this corrected and our correct prescription with our glasses to us quickly!

Post surgery treatment
February 11, 2026
Updated review

Carla, an online agent, could not / would not help me when I told her that my glasses were destroyed. She first claimed I bought the glasses with insurance, i did not. Then, she told me insurance was used for orders for my glasses, they were not... I used the insurance once, not for multiple glasses. Last, she could not help me or offer any numbers or information about that department, that took a supervisor, for which I am very grateful/ appreciative of, wonderful interaction with the supervisor.

I'm being punished for relying on this service for post surgery glasses... Then, I have to deal with Carla... To add insult to injury, I've spent hundreds of dollars on this sites products...

I am extremely upset and disappointed.

My last pair of glasses were sent to me with circles in them, both left and right lenses, complete, perfect circles, but other than that, because the price is so economical, I decided to keep them.

Upcharge
February 11, 2026

When adding a second pair of glasses, I was only given 1 expensive option of blue light filter even though I was ordering the same exact frame with the same prescription just a different frame color. That was an unnecessary upcharge.

3rd time buying from eyebuydirect. Each transaction resulted in multiple different types of glasses. Reasonable prices were the reason for multiple purchases. Purchased my AI Meta Glasses today

I started buying my glasses from eyebuydirect because buying them from the optometrist is wayyy too expensive, about $400, even if I trade in my old frames and only get lenses. When looking elsewhere, I just decided to trust eyebuydirect to see how the process went and if their glasses were any good, and they were! I was very satisfied with my frames and lens quality. On another occasion, I ordered glasses for my dad and they arrived too big, they sat loosely on his face. I called eyebuydirect's customer service and was able to get him different style frames that fit better, and due to price difference, the difference was refunded as the second pair cost less than the first. It's been a great experience working with eyebuydirect and I do recommend them to anyone who wears glasses.

Love almost every single pair!
February 9, 2026

I can honestly say that I have ordered over 20 pair of glasses from EBD and I love each one of them. Although I've had issues in the past with glasses breaking within a year of my receiving them, i still think this is the best bang for my buck! I have definitely recommended EBD to everyone I encounter.
