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.

Great for kids
November 12, 2025

They are inexpensive and they are great fire our 5 old. This is our second order of these due to breaking the first pair. We ordered two this time.

Try them you might like the experience.
November 12, 2025

I had two pair made that weren't right, don't know if it was the Dr. or eyebuy but was painless returning. Due to the fact that I had eye surgery I corrected my own Rx and had a pair remade. They seem fine now though I'm trying to get used to them. I wish they would have started the progression on the bifocals lower as it interferes with looking strait ahead as I have to tilt my head down to see clear.

Your website is absolute trash
November 11, 2025

Your website is obviously formatted and optimized for mobile use. When using it on a PC, images don't load, website crashes, over and over and over again. Absolutely horrible user experience.

Lens Package and Cart
November 11, 2025

Hi Appreciate the great value of eyebuydirect 2 things I found challenging incase it is helpful. Some glasses don't offer a standard lens package, so its frustrating to get to that step in the ordering process to find that there is only an option for the up charge. Second in the cart, I didn't easily see and couldn't find the option to increase quantity... wanted to buy two of the same glasses and seemed like I had to manually add another pair by starting at the beginning. Hope this is helpful

Had a lens issue
November 10, 2025

Made a few purchases from before. Always a positive experience. Last purchase I made I included the antifog coating. Glasses were fine during winter weather but a few months later, were terrible in the humid weather, seemed to fog easier. Contacted customer service about if there was a way to remove the antifog coating or just replace the lenses. Was informed no way to remove coating and was never offered a lens replacement. Been wearing my previously purchased glasses that were also purchased from Eyebuydirect.

Good Price, Poor Quality
November 10, 2025

I purchased two daydream frames at the same time. Both pairs broke in less than a year of having them. The screws in the temples came loose. I attempted to fix them but failed. Super disappointing considering the pair of glasses I had previously in a similar style lasted me 5 years.

Love this place!
November 9, 2025

Have purchased multiple pairs of glasses as my eye script keeps changing as I try to get my A1C under 7. Every pair I have ever purchased have all been perfectly prepared. Very pleased with this company!

First time great experience

I bought progressive glasses and sunglasses for the first time online here-NOT from my eye doctor's office. Loved the quality, fit and vision from them. And it was easy to add my prescription too. Thank you!

Really back up their products
November 9, 2025
Updated review

I had some issues with my order, that may or may not have been my fault, but they were more than willing to replace my glasses and then when that replacement pair ended up with an issue almost a year later I really wasn't expecting them to do anything but I thought I'd give it a shot after how I was treated so well the first time and they said they'd only do it one more time, but they're gonna do it. If you put such treatment in the context of other companies these days that is going above and beyond. That kind of backing up your products and looking out for your customers benefit is good business, so I'll just keep coming back here.

My daughter just got her first glasses and we needed a few backups. I stumbled upon on Eyebuydirect and I am so happy I did! It was a seamless experience, easy from start to finish.

I'm so impressed with the expedited shipping option. I ordered one pair with expedited shipping and one pair without… which was nearly a month before they arrived.

Simple, Fast and Easy!
November 7, 2025

Love the prices, the simplicity of placing an order and entering your prescription. I have ordered from Eye Buy Direct countless times now and each time I am very satisfied with my purchase. You pay 1/3 of what you would elsewhere with the same amount of wait times for your glasses

While the Customer Service promptly answers the phone and is very helpful, EyeBuyDirect failed TWICE to build glasses that worked. The original pair and the replacement pair of glasses they sent me with Progressive lenses -
made round objects appear elliptical
square objects appeared like an upside down pyramid
the reading focus was only four or five letters wide and
the distance focus looked like I was peering through binoculars A TOTAL FAILURE to produce useable glasses... the only product they make.

Excellent glasses and service
November 6, 2025

I scratched the lenses of my glasses while camping a few weeks ago. I was able to order new glasses right away and received them in a week. Very pleased with the glasses and service.
