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.

Glasses sometimes come all warped
June 25, 2025

Even expensive glasses often come so warped I have to fix them myself it happens about 75 percent of the time and the only reason I put up with it is because I have I choice. Please fix this.

Easy process
June 24, 2025

It's easy to find inexpensive but cute frames. They can be tried on using your camera. This was all done from the comfort of my home and I received a discount for being a Nurse.

Love the Milo glasses
June 23, 2025
Updated review

Very happy with my Milo glasses, so much so that I bought 2 more. Eyebuydirect is more affordable, and I can get features I want with multiple sets of glasses including transitions and progressive lens. Highly recommend if you're hard on glasses or live an environment that puts them at risk (I live on a boat)

Good service, esp once I figured out the right size
May 30, 2025
Previous review

Figuring out the right size glasses was crucial to me really appreciating all the options and feeling good about my orders. My first order was too big, and it was really frustrating to have the lenses falling down my face all the time. Now that I know what my measurements actually are, I have found the right frames for me. About half the price or less than going to a brick-and-mortar store

The clear Forte I ordered was the best-looking pair of glasses I ever owned. I wish I'd known the nose bridge was so delicate. Still, I got 2 or 3 years of outdoor use, so I recommend the Forte style for anyone who wears them at home or the office! Meanwhile, I'm back as a customer looking for my next pair...

If I could give 0 stars I would!
June 23, 2025
Updated review

The entire experience was a complete nightmare. We originally used Coastal-which was bought by Eyebuydirect. It is no where NEAR the same any longer. The "discounts" won't work on anything on sale, even if the frames are say $5 off, so the total cost for one pair of glasses was the same I could get, if not more than an actual eye doctor office. Then the customer service, HORRIBLE! If you want to speak to AI with no actual person to help you, be my guest. I have over 20 emails back and forth dealing with their customer service after my sons glasses were delayed 3+ times from the initial shipping times. BUYER BEWARE! We will NEVER use eyebuydirect again. Literally use a google engine and take your chances literally ANYWHERE ELSE! I have advised everyone I know of the same.

I would actually probably have done less, but since I haven't received the product yet I will wait. I do think it's very bait and switch that you advertise codes and get personal information to inundate inboxes and phone logs and then a large portion of your normal glasses can't be used with the code as it has a sale that is worth less value off than the code would have taken off. I will probably be looking for other discount eyeglass places going forward. Coastal did not work that way.

Easy process to see how glasses would look (virtual try-on) and the prices are very reasonable. I've purchased many glasses from eyebuydirect and have never had a single problem.

I've gotten several glasses in the past and have been happy with all of them - even the cheapest frames that I get many of so I have reading glasses in several locations in the house.

Good
June 23, 2025

Never had a problem, fast easy and cheap. The only thing is I want to be able to actually view the accessories aside from just at checkout. Unless I missed something I couldn't find glasses chains/ accessories anywhere on the site.
