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.

April 30, 2026

Great customer service, and lots of options. I've bought several glasses through EyeBuyDirect and it's so easy and convenient.

Was a pain to order
April 29, 2026
Updated review

Filled out info photo shot script with all info. Week later they asked for more info. I got extract transition lens on one pair and basic on other. Person on phone said I could get other one with same package even tho I said it said was not available for that pair. So I got $38.00 more. And it was the basic I ordered. Called girl said it's not what o got and didn't care. So one pair I'm happy with other not so much.

Affordable eyewear
April 29, 2026

Great customer service, plenty of selection. The pricing is amazing along with how easy it is to order my glasses. This is my second pair of glasses and won't be my last. My husband also purchases his glasses from Eyebuydirect.

Usually great
April 29, 2026

I've purchased several pairs of glasses and have had good expoeriences with all but last pair. Last pair of sunglasses had a screw too small holding together and have had a horrible time keeping them together. Giving a new pair another try.

I love the prices, but ordering is difficult. Especially since I have an odd Rx. I always have to reconfirm my Rx, and send in a copy of my prescription, yet I don't see a way to send it in with my order.

Sentimental
April 29, 2026
Updated review

I love my glasses so much. My sister bought this exact pair a couple of years ago and I was obsessed. Unfortunately, after usual use the glasses began to stretch which I know is normal. But after 1.5-2 years one of the legs completely snapped and I could not fix it. I was heartbroken, so much that I just bought the same pair. Unfortunately, as soon as I put the new ones on they are super loose big for my face. I am afraid they are going to break again

Great value

We love how inexpensive the glasses are. It allows us to buy several pairs and not have to worry if one pair is lost or damaged.

Been ordering through them for 10 years now. Must have purchased atleast 8 pairs by now. Just love every experience. One star knocked off due to the paper box instead of the normal case with wipe cloth (you now have to pay for it).

My order was supposed to add have transitions and I live in Florida not once have the lenses gone dark. It doesn't work and I paid a lot of money for it. Also when I look to the right the right it's blurry but perfectly fine on the left.

Discount
April 28, 2026

I received an offer this morning that included designer glasses. When I got to my cart it applied and my total was under $300. It offered another code and I applied it and my total went up. Over $300. When I took that offer off my total went to almost $500. Now I can't find that original offer anywhere.

I contacted online chat and they told me that they can't see "special offers". Horrible experience!

Each pair I buy ends up breaking since I am a homeschool mom of 4. Every pair breaks at the leg hinge just enough so they can't be glued or taped or screwed back together. The movable nose pieces hurt and get out of place too easily, and idk how to fit them right to begin with. The hard plastic is less annoying but still hurts a lot on my nose bone when I inevitably get bumped in the glasses.

A decade of EBD

I have purchased all of my glasses over the last decade from EBD. Dozens of people have asked me where I get my glasses over the years... I lead them right to the website. CHEERS!

I shop here for convenience
April 27, 2026

I only shop this site for convenience. But they do not offer any lenses completely without any coating. I work in refrigeration and if even a drop of refrigerant gets on the lenses the coatings come off.

Your price literally tripled
April 27, 2026

I've been a customer for years, the same glasses have always been less than $20. It seems you've taken a new direction and I think it is a bad one.

I want to exchange my glasses but not provided lens for blue light filter as the frame and prescription are not matched with the blue light fitler lens. However, I chose it in the web, it was accepted.
