VSP and Prescription Glasses Online (Eyebuydirect) in 2025

I continue to order glasses online and getting reimbursed out-of-network through VSP every year. Sadly, Eyebuydirect no longer sells the frames that I want with my prescription. They still sell the frames, but when I select my prescription, it pops out with this error message: 

"Unfortunately, we are unable to fit the frame you selected with the prescription you entered."

In the past, I was able get around this by going to my order history and selecting reorder. But this past year, even that workaround stopped working. So for my latest order, I had to select a different frame. 

Here are the orders for the previous frame through the years.

January 2016 - $105.95

September 2016 - $78.95

October 2019 - $81.12

August 2020 - $93.41

August 2021 - $84.56

April 2022 - $84.84

August 2024 - $93.96

The prices have been fairly consistent with no big jump. Hasn't everything else been getting expensive??

After filing for VSP reimbursement, the out of pocket cost is usually around $25.

Here's my referral link for you to get $10 in EBD Credits and I will get $10 as well. Sometimes they have 25% off coupon codes that stack, so be sure to check for those.
