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.

Consistently satisfied
December 2, 2025
Updated review

I've been purchasing glasses from EBD for some years now and I can honestly say I've never been disappointed in my selections. Sometimes I wish the prices were more budget friendly but they are still, by far, better than my local optometry shop.

Decent and affordable
December 1, 2025

So far I haven't had an issue getting any issues resolved, it just takes some patience & communication. It would be great if they showed the "sizing" of the models wearing the glasses. The virtual try on is slightly off from what you receive in person or trying to compare to other buyers.

Affordable products and easy returns
December 1, 2025

I always want to try new frames and anytime I have not liked them it was easy to facilitate a return or exchange. I can also purchase two or three pairs of glasses for the price of one in a traditional eyeglass store.

2 Day Shipping
December 1, 2025

I was offered free shipping but charged $19 for 2 day express and I was unable to deselect that option. I would not have paid $19 for express shipping! 😡

Plethora of options to choose from with a wide range of budgets is appreciated. The only thing that needs to change is to stop showing the glasses that have been discontinued. I shouldn't be able to still have the option to select those "discontinued" glasses if they are "discontinued". They should not even be in my search results. But many that I liked were "discontinued". I will continue to support and am thankful.

I like what I got
November 29, 2025

Slightly misleading with the pricing and the types of up charges after the lens. I got a cheap frame, and they just shouldn't even sell it because it is so bad without nose rests. I have enjoyed the Arnette Narro, and the mint tint I got for it was awesome.

It was my first time shopping on line for prescription glasses so I was a lil nervous, however I when put them on I could barely believe my eyes! I have the No lines and I could look down without moving my head. I was very pleased!

I've been ordering from here for decades. My previous order has not moved from the status of being worked on in over 10 days. They chat say's it's being worked on but with so many order's placed successfully in the past, I am now having to place a re-order to see if these will come. I expect a refund on order previously placed if it doesn't come soon.
