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.

Site's pretty easy to use, good selection, most of all they're cheap. I like the idea of the virtual try-on, but it's not that realistic. You must make up your low margins in volume--I've never had more than one pair of glasses at a time in my life, but now I have five--partially because my eyes are old, but also because you make it easy and cheap.

Won't shop anywhere else!
July 8, 2025

Easy as pie. Picked what we liked, used promos, saved money and waited for our glasses which didn't take long to get here. Easy to filter to find exactly what you are looking for. I appreciate you guys so much, I am a loyal customer. Keep up the great work just making a part of life so easy. I'm thankful.

I've been getting glasses for me and my daughter for years. The fact that you can try them on online is extremely helpful. Also helpful that they have sizes. The glasses are great quality and much more affordable than the doctor's offices. Doctor wanted me to try a new dual prescription and I didn't like it. Eye buy was so quick and helpful, allowing me to return. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone and will continue shopping with them for the years to come!

Good value and always helpful
July 7, 2025

I've had to order a replacement for a broken pair and I wanted to change an order after placing it, and the chat agents were super helpful both times. Easy ordering and I got good solid glasses that are a great value.

It was good
July 7, 2025

I received bent frames, they took care of it but had to pay another $20 to two day them. The other frames are completely useless but let me keep them so that was a plus

My previous experience was my first time buying glasses on internet. This site was highly recommended to me by two friends. I am so glad they made me aware because it was my best experience purchasing eyeglasses ever. I definitely plan on purchasing more eyeglasses from Eyebuydirect.

Never shopping here again
July 6, 2025

I've been a customer of Eye Buy Direct for four years now and had planned on being a lifetime customer. I've told tons of people in my daily life about them. Never again. I'm going to be telling several people to steer far away. I ordered glasses a month ago and had entered my shipping information wrong. Somehow the package got labeled with the wrong zip code as I got a notification from USPS that it was being shipped to a wrong zip code and that they couldn't find the address so they sent it back. I immediately reached out to Eye Buy Direct asking what happened. They denied any responsibility and blamed USPS. I was told they would reorder and donate my things but that there was one frame that was out of stock and of course the frames I wanted the most (prime reason I bought at that time was because the frame was low in stock). I told them to just reship the package and not donate it to charity. I was told that was okay and TO CHECK BACK THE FOLLOWING WEEK TO MAKE SURE IT HAD ARRIVED. Well here's where it all goes wrong. I checked back in via their chat support. They told me it would take 2 months to get my package back. HUH?!? They continued to blame USPS despite them printing and putting label on package and clearly not double checking my address. Then they said they could just reorder but that the glasses that were out of stock would take probably THREE MONTHS to come back in stock. They were very rude and would take no blame for the situation. I asked for a refund and they offered a pitiful 15% off to not cancel. What a JOKE. I've now ordered through Zenni and will never be returning to EyeBuyDirect.

Always Happy
July 6, 2025

I have been using Eyebuydirect for years now, and I am always happy with my choices. They will do returns/exchanges if anything is off or you don't like them, and I have only had to do that once in the years I have used them.

EBD provides a lot of glasses options, two fairly good ways to virtually try on frames, good sales, and high-quality products. Ordering is easy, and if something doesn't work out, returns/exchanges are too. I've ordered from EBD several times and always had a great experience!
