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.

Good, but not Great
December 18, 2025

Good glasses! But the materials for less expensive glasses don't hold up as well as they should i feel. This is the second time ive had a pair of glasses snap on me, and i'm assuming it's the plastic not being able to keep up with the wear and tear and cleaning routine i use. I do really love my glasses though and hope maybe bringing light will help?

Prescription wrong
December 16, 2025

I received my glasses and wore them for a couple of days. I had a headache after wearing while driving. And I could not seem to focus them while reading. Returned, waiting for refund.

Cheap
December 16, 2025

Some glasses I've ordered from here are more sturdy than others but I ordered two pairs and one pair literally broke like a week after I bought them. I I emailed eyebuydirect and never heard back. Upsetting.

I tried to re-order a pair of glasses from an old order. Unfortunately, they were out of the frame color that I'd previously ordered. The same frames were available still, but I needed to just change to one of the colors still available. Unfortunately, the on-line re-order process isn't smart enough to create a nice copy of the order, and just allow easy selection of a frame color that's available. SO, I had to completely create a new order, trying to remember all of the other details that worked well from my previous order. Worked-out fine (I think/hope), but definitely something that could be improved upon.

Consistent
December 15, 2025

I've been using EBD for over 9 years +.
The key is measuring your existing frames and use that as your guide for your purchases.
When I get compliments on my frames I always tell them the website or to download the app to check out the various selections.

Affordable and Easy to Order
December 15, 2025

Choosing frames is so easy with the ability to "try on" glasses though my camera or with a picture. With my prescription in hand (or pulled from my insurance carrier), ordering is so easy. Best part is the affordability!

Called the 800 number but they could not find my insurance to apply to the order. I gave my Member ID but there were not able to find it so I can apply it.

A decade later
December 15, 2025

I buy glasses every few years until they fall apart. Eyebuy has been my go-to for a decade. Literally I bought my first pair in 2015 and I just purchased my latest in 2025. I just wish the Denny was still made in tortoise. The Denny might be greatest bang for your buck glasses ever made. Very affordable. Lightweight. Not too big, not too small. Great with black or brown photochromics. At least they still have the black frames. Check em out. I'm trying Ray-bans this time so I'll see what the high life feels like!

Problem with using venmo and paypal..
December 15, 2025

I went to use either of those sites to pay and it always brings me back to eyebuydirect and says, "Your shopping cart has been updated, please refresh the page before checking out." now it looks like my credit card was charged 3 times but they all came through at once..

Previous purchase
December 15, 2025

I have bought multiple pairs of glasses from this site! My son didn't have his last pair for a month and they broke! I turned in a claim and it was never responded to or fixed! He needs glasses so I just bought another cheaper pair!

Great selections and easy returns
December 15, 2025

Easy ordering at the comfort of your home and easy returns. Online try on may not look as in real life but can easily return if not a good fit so no worries.

Great Pricing and Great Products
December 14, 2025

I have been ordering from EyeBuy Direct for more than 5 years. I always get what I ordered in a reasonable time frame. Their products are half the price of the eye doctor's.

I love Eyebuydirect!
December 14, 2025

I hate going in to the optometrist and spending 600+ on glasses! I didn't ask to be born with poor eyesight! It feels like a shame to charge someone so much just so that they can see!
I always share where I get my glasses when I get compliments because I do not gatekeep! I really love all of my glasses! I have ordered for my whole family! I like the range and quality of glasses! I've even had great experiences with customer service when an order didn't work out for me.

Upset
December 14, 2025

I purchased a few different frames and did the replacement/refund process. This last pair has my vision distorted and it's giving me a headache. I tried to live chat but was told refund not an option anymore. I didn't realize that the 14 day return no questions asked statement only applies to the original order. So now I had to purchase yet another pair of glasses that hopefully I will be able to actually see with. I'm highly disappointed I'm stuck with these. I'm a healthcare professional and I have to look at screens for my job. With distorted vision it's difficult and I have patient lives depending on my sight.

Great Return Experience.
December 13, 2025
Updated review

The first pair I ordered just didn't look good on me. The color was all wrong for my face. I called and asked if I could return them and no questions asked, they started the process. I was asked if I wanted to try a different pair of glasses. I had picked out another pair. I was given an additional 15% discount. It was easy to return the original pair and I got the second pair very quickly. I love the new pair. I will definitely buy from Eyebuydirect again!
