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.

Eyeglass store wanted to charge me $1500 for three pairs of glasses. Here, I got 4 pairs for $112 and I really like them! No brainer!

Great Customer Care
April 2, 2026
Updated review

I am a long time customer of EBD and recently ordered a pair of glasses which I received in a timely manner. However, due to the fact that the frames I had chosen rested too low on my nose, was unable to see close up and could not read with them. I chatted with a EBD agent about the problem and she had me send a picture of myself wearing the glasses. She was able to expertly see the problem and offer me other frame possibilities to make another pair of glasses that would work for me. I received the new glasses today and am quite pleased with their appearance and functionality. Thank you for making things right and honoring customer satisfaction.

Really easy to navigate your website. Holiday blockbuster sales for EBD made this purchase impossible for several days because of heavy internet traffic but I finally got in today. Thanks for extending this amazing offer!

Eyebuydirect Customer Experience
April 2, 2026

I have used Eyebuydirect for a number of years and overall am pleased. I have some difficulty navigating the web site and it could be more streamlined. I have been very pleased with the glasses I've received and service. The prices are so much less than using a local eye glass outlet at your optical office. My last pair I order had an incorrect prescription provided from my eye doctor and Eyebuydirect willing made the correction and provided a second pair at minimal costs - I'm waiting now to receive and assume these will be satisfactory. And, I appreciate the emails advising of orders, shipping, and expected arrivals. I will continue to use them in them in the future.

I love your prices, choices, and emails (although you do send way too many) but they are always full of great information!
I am a little worried about a refund I should have received last week... I'm still waiting for it today. Hopefully, that comes in soon. When it does, I will purchase a new pair.

Affordable!
April 1, 2026

I have always had a positive experience. Exchanging after an order error was easy! Now my prescription has gotten stronger not all frames will work for my lenses but I'm glad there are plenty other options. Always affordable!

Been shopping her for many years and I'm always satisfied. If any purchase is incorrect or incomplete they always fix the issue hastily.

Disappointed
March 30, 2026
Updated review

You now charge for lens cloth and case... on top of increased pricing. Huge disappointment after bragging about you to friends and family. Now I see why they did not choose you.

Love EBD
March 29, 2026

I probably am twenty or more pairs of glasses from ibudirect. I've only returned 1 or 2 pair just because they didn't look like I thought they would on me. They gave me no trouble at all.And I got a full refund.

As easy as they make it seem
March 29, 2026

Virtually trying on the frames was easy, uploading my prescription was easy, adding my insurance info was easy, ordering was easy, shipping was quick and the product quality is great. It took me less than 15 minutes to order from start to finish, and arrived within a week!

Excellent service and products
March 29, 2026

I have purchased at least 10 pair of glasses over the years and have never had a problem with EBD. I have recommended your company to so many people who compliment me on my glasses! Even when I had vision insurance I still used EBD. My husband has also had several pair and has been very happy!

Checking out could be easier
March 29, 2026

Even though we supposedly have "accounts" none of the passwords we have written down worked and redoing passwords was awkward. Please add a "guest" account we don't have to screw around with this every year or find another supplier.

Excellent options
March 29, 2026

Eyebuydirect.com does a great job of offering you options to pick from and they do a great job of describing each option along with prices so there are no surprises. Discount options are also great. I recommend eyebuydirect to anyone who is interested in saving money on eyewear.
