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.

Amazing from start to finish
January 20, 2026

This company is amazing. It's easy, it's fast, and it's honest. From the moment you login until the moment you press checkout, it's simple, efficient, and won't break the bank.

Great customer service. I bought some glasses that didn't end up working for me and I was able to exchange them which I really appreciate. Great products.

Finally!
January 19, 2026

It's a pleasant experience, shopping for glasses on eyebuydirect. There is no hard sell, no surprise up-charge and no commissioned salesperson crowding you to choose. Great glasses. Great service. Very satisfied.

Love this company
January 18, 2026

Keep coming back! Always a good deal to be found. I got tired of ordering 1 pair of glasses that cost $700 for my kids to break them in a week.

Poor return policy
January 17, 2026

I had my previous pair of glasses for about 3 months when they became damaged. I contacted eyebuydirect and they told me the only solution was to buy another pair. No additional discount for being a returning customer for many years.

I remember being shocked at how inexpensive my first few orders were at eyebuydirect.com, service was and is amazing, which keeps me coming back, but the higher and higher prices are getting scary. I used insurance today, for the first time, and even so, my order was at least twice as much out of pocket as any of my first few orders. I like money too, but sheeze. Anyway, service is great, I'll be back, if I can still afford it then.

Glasses are good
January 16, 2026

I like my glasses and the price is right. But u can't really beat trying them in person. I also like when they fit them to u. My first pair were to big, kept sliding off. This pair I learned got them smaller but still had to put sleeves on the arms not to slide.

Cute designs if a little flimsy
January 16, 2026

I have ordered several pairs at this point, and some have been good quality that last a while. I just got a pair 2 months ago, and the screw came out of one side and broke. I'm hoping this pair is better. They have really nice designs, though, and I've gotten some good pairs from them for sure. I feel like they've gotten more expensive lately, and I second-guess it every time I look at the final price

Speed and Quality
January 16, 2026
Updated review

My only pair of glasses broke to a point of unwearable (both arms came off) and I couldn't find anywhere in town that would be less than 2 weeks (or the longest quote was about a month) when I started looking for other options.
With prescription, these arrived in under 24 hours from the time I ordered them and I actually have less discomfort from the frames than most frames I've gotten in my 20 years of wearing them.

Took a while...
January 16, 2026

My prescription changed and after updating my account, it was difficult to locate where on the page I could reorder the same frames for the new prescription. Eventually found it.

Great selection of glasses, smooth check out process, and I always get compliments for all of my glasses from EBD. I have at least 10 pairs. ;) Great way to make it a fashionable accessory while providing the gift of sight! Thanks!

Awesome
January 16, 2026

I have been wearing glasses for 50 years. This has been the BEST site for glasses. I have ordered glasses for me, my, wife, and my daughter. Best price and best job with the lenses. Best decision I have ever made with buying glasses.

Love the frames
January 16, 2026

I have ordered on Eyebuydirect once before, a couple of years ago. I picked out the Avery frames which I ended up loving so much, they're perfect for me. The only issue I've had is that they can't really be tightened (a licensed optician explained to me) because there's no metal hinge to tighten on this frame at least, but, I am purchasing them again with a different prescription because I love them so much.

Have purchased a few pairs now and every one was done very well and came quickly. One didn't fit my husband that well and we worked with them for a refund and had another one made all with no problems or hassles - good to work with them
