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.

Reasonable
March 28, 2026

These are reliable glasses for a fraction of the cost I've been able to find anywhere. I have two pairs of sunglasses and two pairs of driving (seeing distances) glasses due to the durability and affordable pricing. If you don't like manipulating the final fit after they arrive, this is not for you. O theirs, I certainly recommend especially for people prone to lose or break glasses.

Prior refund process was a pain
March 28, 2026

I had started the refund process and then, for no reason, an eyebuydirect representative/auto response e-mail said, "Greetings from Eyebuydirect.

We respect your decision and understand that you wanted a refund. However, since you are within the 14-day Fit and Style guarantee, you might want to consider a replacement pair. If you would accept our proposal, we'll be glad to give you an additional 15% discount on top of the OOOSALE discount you already have. "

I didn't respond so the refund wasn't processed. I didn't want an exchange, I wanted a refund. This violates the Arkansas Deceptive Trade Practices Act. With my newest order, I couldn't use my birthday coupon code (it was my birthday 2 days ago) because I chose $9 frames instead of $15. I like the frames I picked- I'll pay the difference. Frustrating to be sure.

Something missing
March 28, 2026

For some reason 90% of the glasses I choose won't fit my prescription. You should have some sort of sorting device that lets me figure that out before I go through the whole choice listing and then find out it won't work. What should take 30 minutes took me two hours to do because your site is flawed.

Becoming too expensive.
March 28, 2026

The prescription sunglasses option is twice as much as it was a couple years ago. Really sad. I blame trump, not you guys. But also why are sunglasses that much more expensive than regular glasses?!?

Previous review

I have being purchasing eyewear since COVID. I was desperate need of replacement glasses during COVID, go no help from any local optometrist. Took a gamble, order in COVID, customer for LIFE! My husband also gets his glassware.
I wear the POWER model and get at least a compliment a day and usually my a stranger or passerby!
I SHOULD DEFINITELY be an INFLUENCER with my many comings and goings!

Great way to get glasses
March 26, 2026

I have never had a problem with buying my glasses online. They come quickly, they're just as good, if not better than buying them at a local store, I have bought these glasses online for at least 10 years.

Almost right
March 25, 2026

It is 4 stars instead of 5 because your prescription filter is misleading. My prescription limits the type of frame that I can use but your filter by prescription option consistently offers frames that are unsuitable and I do not find out until I get to the lens selection options
