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.

Very good quality
June 14, 2025

I assumed I'd just cheap out on my first pair of prescription glasses so I bought a pair for $40 off of EyeBuyDirect. Not only were the materials so nice and weightless, but they shipped super quickly (way faster and cheaper than buying a pair at my eye doctors office for the same quality). Just got my prescription updated and bought two more pair here!

I'm very satisfied with the quality of the first pair of glasses I got. My only complaint is that the site did not remember my information the second time I ordered.

Gotten more expensive
June 14, 2025

Still obviously discounted compared to brick and mortar stores, but the last time I ordered a few years ago, there weren't as many hidden costs (ie, lenses & shipping are significantly more than they were before). When I see the price of the frames, I wouldn't expect the lenses and shipping to be almost 2.5x the cost of the frames. It would be nice if the cost of frames were more transparent and if standard shipping were free (express would obviously cost more if the customer wants to receive their glasses faster, and that's fine).
