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.

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.

Great quality and prices

I've been using eye wear from this brand for the past few years and I absolutely love every pair I've purchased. Will get more!

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!

Wrong address
March 29, 2026

Shipped with insufficient address, usps returned to sender. Instead of correcting the address and resending, I had to reorder and wait for processing and shipping all over again.

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.

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?!?
