I've ordered a couple different pairs from Zenni Optical, and I've been having issues with my vision. So, I went back to my optometrist. They checked the prescription and said that it was off from the one that I had entered. So, it wasn't a complete match. I've been wearing them for a while, and it's been causing me some issues with my vision. So, I've had to stop ordering glasses from Zenni because it hasn't been guaranteed. I checked the last three that I got with them, and all of them have come back either slightly off or completely off from the prescription that I had ordered. I have astigmatism in both eyes. So, my prescription has to be spot on. So, it's been a little bit frustrating because now, I’ve had to go back to my optometrist and fork out the $400 to pay for glasses that will be my exact prescription. I was really hoping to avoid that, which is why I went to Zenni in the first place.
Zenni's return process is not the greatest. They said that they would return and credit it back to me. But they can't refund the money back to my account, which doesn't do me any good if I can't get that guarantee of my prescription. So, I haven't returned any of the glasses because there's not a whole lot I can do with credit. I've just had them recycled at my optometrist’s office.
In the past, my experience has been fine. But my astigmatism has gotten progressively worse. Usually, I will always recommend Zenni. I have in the past and continue to do that, but I do it with my cautionary tale that if you have astigmatism, it might not be the best option for you. But if you don’t, I'll still recommend Zenni because nobody wants to pay hundreds of dollars for glasses. I do tell people, in my experience, the prescription doesn't always line up. But I like the platform and how easy it is to order online.
Thank you for posting your Zenni review of the glasses you have received from us. We were sorry to read that glasses you have recently ordered from us have not been providing good vision, and we apologize for any dissatisfaction you experienced as a result. We want to confirm that if you receive glasses from us with which you cannot see well, we want to confirm that we have a 30-day warranty period, during which, if you contact us about the glasses with a copy of the prescription you received from your eye doctor, and you confirm that you entered the prescription and pupillary distance (PD) correctly, we can accept the glasses back for an inspection. If our inspection finds that we made the glasses incorrectly, we can remake them for you for free. Federal Express confirms that these glasses were delivered to you on May 28, 2021. Even though this order is a little more than a week outside its warranty period, which starts the day the glasses are delivered, we can make a one-time customer service exception to invite you to return the glasses to us for an inspection. Therefore, we invite you to telephone Zenni Customer Service, at 1-800-211-2105, and anyone who answers will be eager to assist you. Please have a copy of the prescription you used to place the order handy, because the customer service representative will ask you to read the prescription to them to confirm that it was entered correctly. If the PD is not on the prescription, please be prepared to advise how it was obtained – self-measurement, friend or family member measurement, or eye doctor measurement. If you confirm that you entered the prescription and PD correctly, we can invite you to return the glasses for an inspection. We will email you the instructions to return the glasses for the inspection, and we will also email you a prepaid mailing label to use for return postage. If our inspection finds that we made the glasses incorrectly, we can remake them for you for free. But if it turns out that something was entered incorrectly on the order, or if we receive and inspect the glasses, and our inspection finds them to be correct, we can return the glasses to you or issue one of our two refund options – either a 100 percent refund of the price of the glasses in the form of store credit to your Zenni account or a 50 percent refund to the credit card you used to pay for the order. If the wait to speak with a customer service representative is lengthy, you may have an online chat with us by clicking the button labeled Support, at the lower right-hand corner of every Zenni page. You may also email us, at service@zennioptical.com, and if you choose this communication method, please put your order number in the subject line of the email, and in the body of the email please attach a copy of the prescription. If the PD is not on the prescription, please advise how it was obtained. If the prescription matches what you entered, we will email you the instructions to return the glasses for an inspection and we will also email you the prepaid mailing label. If the prescription does not match what you entered, we will email you to ask if you would like to receive the 100 percent refund in the form of store credit to your Zenni account or the 50 percent refund to the credit card you used to pay for the order. We will email you the instructions to return the glasses for the refund you select, as well as the prepaid mailing label to use for return postage. We very much hope to hear back from you, so that we may resolve this matter to your satisfaction.

I ordered a pair of glasses for my daughter back in December. With insurance, our local place wanted $300. When I got online, it said it was 50 bucks. It was cheaper to go online and pay full price at Zenni than it was to buy through our local place even with insurance. Also, even their How to Measure guide was pretty easy to follow. I will recommend and use them again.
Thank you so much, Ms. Rebecca, for posting your gratifying Zenni review of the glasses you have ordered from us. We were delighted to read that your Facebook friends confirmed that Zenni is a good place to buy glasses, and that the glasses you ordered for your daughter from us were considerably less expensive than the price quoted locally. We were happy to know that you found our How to Measure Your Frame Size guide was easy to follow and helped you find glasses that would fit her and you well. Ms. Rebecca, we thank you again for posting your favorable review. At Zenni, we believe that it is a privilege to serve your and your family’s eyeglasses needs, and we hope to do so for many years to come.

These are my favorite glasses!!! I have been ordering Zennis for 7 years and I love every pair. Many options to choose from at great prices. You just can't beat the value and the price! I have always ordered photochromic lenses, and I absolutely love them. This year I decided to also order Rx sunglasses and they are fantastic as well! Highly recommended!!!

I have been ordering glasses from Zenni for several years now. I keep coming back because they always have a great selection and I know they will fit because I can match the measurements of the glasses with the measurements of my face and PD. The quality is just as good as the expensive glasses at the optical shop, but the price is so much lower!! I can afford to get several pairs of Zenni for either the same price or less than what I would pay for only one pair at the optical shop!! I always recommend Zenni to friends and strangers alike.

I have been ordering with Zenni for years for myself and I need up to 3 prescriptions and like to have a backup of each. I also order sunglasses as well. As of this order and any more (if I decide to continue with Zenni) I am also ordering for my son. As his vision is vital to learning, I need to have the consistency from your company. And for me it is vital my glasses are correct to prevent debilitating migraines. I spend over $250 on each order. Every time I order I get an email asking me to confirm my prescription (I do have horrible astigmatism, nearsighted and farsighted) but somehow this time when I confirmed each prescription the glasses I had ordered to be my sunglasses came in clear and with no coatings. Since I didn't get charged I have them as a backup pair but would never really wear them out of the house. So while I appreciate a good deal, this caused me to rethink return business with you or if I should check other companies.
Thank you for posting your Zenni review of the order you placed on May 6, 2021. We do not see any pair of eyeglasses on this order that was ordered as sunglasses, and we apologize for any confusion you may have experienced as a result. Moreover, insofar as one of the pairs of eyeglasses on your order, in full-rim, geometric, acetate, spring-hinged, tortoiseshell frame 4442225, with a frame width of 133 millimeters, was ordered with two Spheres of -5.00, and since the Cylinder and Axis corrections match the values you entered for three other pairs of glasses, with Spheres of -6.00 (right eye, OD) and -6.25 (left eye, OS), as we advised when we emailed you, this is an imbalanced reconfiguration of your distance vision prescription, which we believe you are using for single-vision intermediate (computer) glasses. Because you did not enter -5.25 for the OS Sphere, we emailed you to ask you to confirm that -5.00 and not -5.25 was the correct value for the OS Sphere for computer vision. You advised that -5.00 is what you wanted for both Spheres, so we made these glasses for you accordingly. We hope that you are satisfied with these, and all the glasses on this order.

I have ordered from Zenni before and have been generally pleased with the outcome. The glasses came in a very timely manner and Zenni kept me updated on my order. I have had my glasses for one week. I really like the fit and the way they look. However, the paint on the frame is already starting to chip, which is disappointing.
Thank you for posting your Zenni review of the paint coming off the frame you ordered – full-rim, rectangular, stainless-steel, copper-colored frame 3212315, with a frame width of 130 millimeters. We were sorry to learn that the paint on the frame is starting to chip, and we apologize for any dissatisfaction you experienced as a result. This order is within its 30-day warranty period, which starts the day the glasses are delivered. Therefore, we are going to ask our lab to send you a free replacement frame 3212315. We will also ask our lab to enclose some extra screws and nose pads, along with a screwdriver tool you may use to loosen the screws at the hinges of the original frame you received, so that the lenses will easily come out of the rims, and to tighten the screws at the hinges when you have installed the prescription lenses in the rims of the replacement frame. You should receive an email from our lab later tonight, confirming that we are sending you this free replacement frame with a tracking number. When you receive the replacement frame, here is a link to a how-to video found toward the middle of the bottom of every page of our website, How to Replace Lenses in a Full-Rim Frame: https://www.zennioptical.com/c/how-to#howto-replace-fullrim. If you would like us to talk you through the lens-replacement process, we invite you to telephone Zenni Customer Service, at 1-800-211-2105, and anyone who answers will be eager to assist you by talking you through the lens-replacement process.

Can't rate what I haven't received! It has been going on 3 weeks now. I have talked with both postal workers in Beulah and Rosedale. The only thing that came out of it is that the box number in the zip code probably was overlooked but where is the order now? Please help make it right. You all have my money and the glasses are still wanted. Thanks!
Thank you for posting your Zenni review of your eyeglasses order, which we are sorry to advise has not yet been returned to us, although the U.S. Postal Service website states that the eyeglasses order was returned to us on May 28, 2021. Consequently, we apologize for any dismay you experienced as a result. We want to confirm that, when the glasses have been returned to us, we will resend them to you at the post office box address you provided. When we do, we will email you the tracking number, so that you may track the order on the U.S. Postal Service website, usps.com. We hope that we receive these returned glasses soon, and when we do, we will mail them to you.

I ordered prescription sunglasses from Zenni. The site was easy to navigate. I got the glasses quite quickly. They look really nice on me. It's the first time I've had prescription sunglasses and my first time ordering from your site. Thank you!
Reviewed June 18, 2021
Zenni's prices were really good. I’ve ordered prescription sunglasses a few times. Ordering is pretty easy. I just scroll through the page, see what I like, compare measurements to other glasses I have and then, I order them if I like the size. Most of them are pretty good. Some of them seem to be a little bit smaller than I was anticipating. With the last pair of sunglasses we ordered, my partner thought he was ordering one set of clip-on glasses with it, but he ended up with two of them instead. He ended up paying for them because it wasn't very clear that the clip-ons already came with it, and it offered the add-on of a clip-on. They should not let that pop up when you’re already getting a pair of glasses with clip-ons so you’re not going to accidentally order another one.
Also, sometimes, the measurements are not looking quite right. Other than that, once the glasses get shipped out, it’s pretty fast. If you need some glasses and you need them cheap, Zenni is the way to go. I’ve also bought some prescription sunglasses from EyeBuyDirect online as well, and I just tend to like the Zenni ones a little bit better.
Thank you for posting your Zenni review of your experience ordering eyeglasses from us. We were happy to read that you like the prices of our products and that you find the ordering process easy. We were sorry to read that your partner misunderstood that a pair of magnetic clip-on sunshades came with his full-rim, square, Ultem, black frame 6499021, with a frame width of 139 millimeters, and as a result, he ordered another pair of the sunshades. We apologize for this misunderstanding. We want to confirm that, as stated in the Description under the enlarged picture of the frame, the sunshades come with the glasses. Nevertheless, we are happy to know that you like the prescription sunglasses you have ordered from us better than ones you have received from a competitor. We thank you again for posting your review. At Zenni, we believe that it is a privilege to serve your and your partner’s eyeglasses needs, and we hope to do so for many years to come.

I’ve bought multiple times from their website and am never disappointed! Buying my first prescription lenses was scary because I’m not one to purchase glasses through an online website. However an agent assisted me in finding my prescription and correct size. When I purchased a second pair they were the incorrect type of lenses. Contacting customer service was a breeze and they adjusted my order to the correct standard. Thank you, Zenni!

I am very happy with my prescription for these frames. I have gotten prescription glasses from optometrist shops, department stores, box club, and I always have to tilt or hold my head a particular way in order to read through the bifocal area. So when ordering from Zenni and not getting measured for the focal point, I thought “how is this going to turn out?” Well, at least they don’t cost as much as all my other glasses. But, I was truly surprised when I tried them and I could read with ease and not try and find the “sweet spot”! Since then I have bought another pair. Not only because of the price, but I also like to mix up my style and color of frames with what I wear. Zenni makes good glasses affordable. My only complaint is that when I need adjustments to frames after wearing for awhile, I hate to take to my optometrist because they know I didn’t get the glasses from them.

I ordered a pair of ANSI 87+ safety glasses. The frame quality was excellent. Very sturdy. The lenses were well made and very accurate to my progressive prescription.

Thank you for posting your Zenni review of your experience shopping on our website. We were sorry to read your comment that there are not enough options for adults with small faces, and we apologize for any dismay you experienced as a result. We see that the frame you selected – full-rim, rectangular, flexible-plastic, brown frame 2016815, has a frame width of 138 millimeters, which we consider a medium-sized frame. However, we want to confirm that we have many frames with narrower frame widths, such as 4433023, a full-rim, round, acetate, spring-hinged, translucent frame, with a frame width of 123 mm. You may not like this frame, but it is narrow, and it accommodates progressive prescriptions. We have many other narrow frames that also accommodate progressive prescriptions.

Updated on 06/19/2021: I think it is important for consumers to know the truth about this company. In response to my earlier review Zenni simply copy/pasted language about what polarized sunglasses are rather than address the real concern. The truth is that they have received complaints about their very poor, splotchy polarization process yet their customer service agents feign ignorance. While Zenni has cute frames at great prices I learned that you truly "get what you pay for" when it comes to their "polarized" sunglasses.
Original: Horrible Customer Service. Up until now I have been very pleased with this company. Over the past year I have ordered six pairs of glasses from them (to switch it up on Zoom calls) and five of them were perfect. This last pair clearly has a defect on both lenses. Rather than take my word for it, I've been asked to take pictures of the lenses which is impossible to capture the defect because they are sunglasses. They even asked me to sit in my car to take the picture; still not sure how that would make a difference.
I finally found some lighting that allowed me to get some shots where you can see the black spots on the lenses and I also sent a photo that someone posted on the web that more clearly represents what is wrong with the glasses. In response I received an unintelligible email; I mean I really don't know what the person was trying to say. I'm comparing this experience to another company I purchased glasses from recently. In that situation there was a blemish of some sort on each lens and all I had to do was tell them about it and I received a brand new pair in one week. Now THAT is good customer service.
Thank you for posting your Zenni review of the polarized sunglasses you recently ordered. We were sorry to read that you found the lenses defective because you saw spots on the lenses, and we apologize for any dismay you experienced as a result. We understand that we emailed you instructions to return the polarized sunglasses to us for an inspection, and we will be happy to inspect the glasses when we receive them. Nevertheless, we want to confirm that what you are experiencing when you look through these lenses at various objects is a natural feature of polarized lenses, and we are also sorry that, when you contacted us about this matter, we did not explain why you are seeing these spots, especially when you provided several photographs of the lenses that display this feature. Therefore, we also want to provide some information we hope will be helpful.
Polarized lenses reduce glare by blocking horizontal light rays.
Why horizontal? Light comes from the sun in all directions, and it is reflected in every direction, too. When it reflects from light-colored horizontal surfaces – such as a white sidewalk, a white-sand beach, snow, or sunlight reflecting on water – it is said to be polarized horizontally. Light that is polarized horizontally is responsible for most of the glare that interferes with our vision.
How do polarized lenses work? To understand this, it is useful to think of window blinds. Venetian blinds are horizontal. When Venetian blinds are open, light comes into the room in horizontal stripes, depending on the angle of the sun and the angle the blinds are open.
Polarized lenses are more like vertical blinds. When vertical blinds are open at a certain angle, light comes into the room in vertical stripes. Since horizontally reflected light is responsible for most of the glare we see, the polarized tint is placed on the sunglass lens in vertically angled strips. These vertical strips of tint allow vertically reflected light into the eye but block horizontally reflected light – greatly reducing horizontally polarized glare.
Most polarized lenses are sunglasses. Polarized sunglasses are especially popular with boaters since water is a very reflective surface on a sunny day. Polarized sunglasses are also great for other outdoor activities, such as golfing and tennis since they can help to sharpen the focus on the ball. They can also be good for driving, since polarized lenses reduce the glare that reflects from the shiny hood of a car, or the glare from the surface of the road on a hot, sunny day.
However, in some situations there can be drawbacks to polarized lenses. They can be problematic for skiing, since blocking the reflected glare off an icy patch might prevent the skier from noticing and steering away from a potential hazard.
In addition, it can sometimes be difficult to read liquid crystal display (LCD) or light-emitting diode (LED) screens on a boat or plane’s instrument panel while wearing polarized sunglasses. This could interfere with the pilot’s ability to clearly read and quickly respond to the information on the instrument panel. This could also apply to the global positioning system (GPS) and other displays of a car’s dashboard, a smartphone, an ATM, or a self-service gas pump.
An oddity you may notice while wearing polarized sunglasses is that when you look at your car’s rear or side window from the outside, or perhaps the windows on an office building, you may see splotchy, iridescent spots. When you remove your polarized sunglasses, these spots are invisible.
This effect is created because you are looking at heat-tempered glass. The heat-tempering creates several stress points on the glass, enabling the glass, when broken, to crumble into small, granular chunks, which are safer than splitting the glass into sharp, jagged shards. The stress points also reflect the light in different directions from the parts of the glass that do not have these stress points. The stress points prevent the polarized lens from filtering out the light evenly across the surface of the glass, creating the splotchy, iridescent effect.
We hope that this information is helpful, and we look forward to receiving these returned polarized sunglasses, so that we may inspect them and email you the inspection results. If our inspection finds any defects on the lenses, we can remake them for you for free. If our inspection finds no defects, we can return the glasses to you or, since this order was paid for with a gift card, issue a 100 percent refund of the price of the glasses in the form of store credit to your Zenni account, which we hope will resolve this matter to your satisfaction.

The frames on these glasses are awful. If you move your head just slightly they rattle like crazy. Even after taking an eyeglass repair kit to them they still rattle to the point of annoyance. But the frames aren't why I'm writing this review. It is actually Zenni themselves. When I ordered these glasses I was hit with a hidden fee of $12 with no reasoning as to the $12 fee. Now that the glasses have arrived at my doorstep they suck, after checking with my eye doctor a few times and quadruple checking my prescription the glasses are blurry, they lack the usual crispness of a good pair of glasses. Plus the frames dig obnoxiously into my head.
Finally called Zenni after giving the glasses 2 days of trial and was offered to send them back and pay shipping for a store credit (one pair of glasses already sucked, good chance the others would suck too.) Or I could get half of what I paid for the glasses deposited back into my account along with paying shipping to get them back to Zenni and the only way to get a full refund is if I send them back to Zenni and the lab checks the lenses. Let's be honest though. Even if I did this and the lenses were wrong do you think Zenni would admit a mistake? So to recap zenni's customer service department is terrible, they charge you extra fees if you don't have almost perfect vision, the quality of glasses rattle like crazy and you won't see your full amount of money back. Never by from Zenni!!!! They are not transparent!
Thank you for posting your Zenni review of the eyeglasses you most recently received from us. We were sorry to learn that one of the frames on this order is problematic, and we apologize for any dissatisfaction you experienced as a result. You do not indicate whether the problematic frame is full-rim, rectangular, stainless-steel, graphite gray frame 3217012, with a frame width of 140 millimeters, or full-rim, square, stainless-steel, rose gold frame 3216819, with a frame width of 133 mm. We believe that the problematic frame is 3216819, since in your Chat session with our representative, you indicate that the person for whom you ordered the single-vision distance glasses in 3217012 is not you, that they specifically did not want multifocal glasses, and that you were glad that the reading-addition correction that was on the prescription copy you provided, +1.50 for bifocals, +1.75 for progressives, was not included for the eyeglasses for this individual. Insofar as you asked about the $12.00 extra-strength charge for the glasses in 3216819, we want to confirm that the left eye (OS) Cylinder of -3.00 necessitated this extra-strength charge. Therefore, we believe that you ordered the eyeglasses in 3216819 for yourself. We were also sorry to read the notes in the database record of this order that although our customer service representative advised of our return options, you declined to return the glasses for an inspection or for one of our two refund options – either a 100 percent refund of the price of the glasses in the form of store credit to your Zenni account or a 50 percent refund to the credit card you used to pay for the order. Moreover, we were also sorry to read that you twice inaccurately stated that you would have to pay the cost of shipping to return the glasses to us, whereas we email customers prepaid mailing labels to use for return postage. We were disappointed to read your comment that if we received the glasses back for an inspection, we would not accurately provide the results of the inspection. When we hear from customers who confirm that they entered the prescription correctly, as you did with prescription copies for these two pairs of glasses, and they say there is a vision issue with the glasses, when we receive the returned glasses for an inspection, if our inspection finds any manufacturing errors on the glasses, we offer to remake the glasses for the customer for free. We hope that you will reconsider your decision not to return these glasses either for an inspection or for one of the refund options.

We bought glasses from Zenni for every member of our family. We all bought rimmed glasses. Then I did a more recent order because my son had broken his. I just placed the order online and got my orders in the mail.

Zenni has a lot of options. I'm more of a plain-Jane, but I'm willing to try other kinds and I wanna get some cheetah ones. I got sunglasses this time for myself but I did actual glasses for my son and he loved it. They came in their own little hard cases and a cloth. It was nice. The glasses were very well made, especially for the price. I had to send my stuff back because I didn't properly measure the width of my eyes so they didn't fit my face very well. I used a measuring tape from home and it was not very accurate. But when Zenni sent me my stuff, it included a little measuring thing so now, I get to do it the right way. I emailed them to return the glasses and they said I can get 100% credit because I still want to go through them, which is what I'm gonna choose to do. Zenni is awesome.

Therefore, you may return these two pairs of glasses to us for one of our two refund options – either a 100 percent refund of the price of the glasses in the form of store credit to your Zenni account or a 50 percent refund to the credit card you used to pay for the glasses. If you choose the 100 percent store credit refund option, you may use the store credit toward the purchase of one pair of standard progressive glasses, with distance (driving), intermediate (computer), and near (reading vision) in the lens, with no visible line separating these three focal fields. Because you mention blended bifocals, we want to confirm that all the bifocal glasses we offer have a line describing the bifocal segment lens. Therefore, we recommend that you select standard progressive as the prescription type.

We were happy to read that the glasses are working well for you, although we were sorry to learn that you had hoped to order progressive glasses, which are multifocal glasses without a line separating the different focal fields on the lenses. Consequently, we apologize for any misunderstanding you experienced during the order process. We want to confirm that when you select a frame, the next step on our website is to Select Lenses. You will see three options: Prescription, Readers, and Non-Prescription. When you select Prescription, you will see two options: New Customer or New Prescription? and Select from My Account. Of course, if you have not ordered from Zenni before, you will not have a prescription saved in your account. If you select New Customer or New Prescription, you will see three options: Single Vision, Progressives, and Bifocals. Progressives have three focal fields, distance (driving), intermediate (computer), and near (reading) vision, with no line separating them. Bifocals, as you discovered, have two focal fields, distance and reading, and the bifocal segment lens with reading vision is described by a noticeable line. We are also sorry to confirm that we do not offer bifocals without a line. However, it is good to know that you are satisfied with the bifocal glasses you received, and we hope that the information we provided is helpful, if you also would like to order a pair of progressive glasses. We want to mention that the progressive glasses we offer are in the freeform style, which has a progressive reading corridor approximately 12-14 millimeters wide, with no vision correction on either side of this progressive reading corridor. We advise customers who are unfamiliar with this style of progressives to point their nose at what they are reading, rather than moving their eyes from side to side. In addition, the top of the progressive reading corridor is placed at 5 mm above the center line of the lens. The frame you selected – half-rim, rectangular, memory-titanium, spring-hinged, gray frame 213412 – has a lens height of 33 mm, which puts the centerline of the lens at 16.5 mm, with the top of the progressive reading corridor placed at 21.5 mm up from the bottom, leaving approximately 11.5 mm of distance vision at the top of the lens. Before selecting a frame for your progressive glasses, you may want to consult with your eye doctor to ascertain where the top of the progressive reading corridor should be placed on the lenses for you to use the glasses effectively, and then select a frame with a lens height that will put the top of the progressive reading corridor where you need it. We hope that this information is helpful, and we thank you again for posting your review.

Thank you for posting your Zenni review of your experience ordering eyeglasses from us. We were sorry to read that you are disappointed in the eyeglasses you received, and we apologize for any dissatisfaction you experienced as a result. We want to confirm that you ordered these glasses as nonprescription glasses. No prescription nor pupillary distance (PD) was selected for the glasses. Since you also mention your dissatisfaction with the time that it took for you to receive the glasses, we want to confirm that the order was placed on April 27, 2021, and according to the U.S. Postal Service website, it was delivered to you on May 14, 2021, 17 days after you placed the order, within the 14-21-day delivery-time promise for orders placed with Standard shipping for $4.95. Since this order is within its 30-day warranty period, which starts the day the glasses are delivered, we want to confirm that you may return these glasses for one of our two refund options – either a 100 percent refund of the price of the glasses in the form of store credit to your Zenni account or a 50 percent refund to the credit card you used to pay for the order. If you select the 100 percent store credit refund, you may use the store credit toward the purchase of a new pair of glasses, and if you contact Zenni Customer Service, at 1-800-211-2105, when you are placing your new order, our customer service representative who answers can help you confirm that the glasses have the prescription you want in the lenses. If you would like to pursue returning the glasses for one of these refund options, we invite you to telephone us, at the previously mentioned phone number, and anyone who answers will be eager to assist you with emailed instructions to return the glasses to us for the refund option you select, and they will also email you a prepaid mailing label to use for return postage.

The glasses fit the way I expected. However the progressive lenses aren’t aligned well. The far vision is so high up I have to put my chin down and look up to see through them. The bifocal area covers the bottom two thirds of the lens. I’m finding wearing them a bit difficult because of that.
Thank you for posting your Zenni review of the standard progressive glasses you received. We were sorry to learn that the distance vision is placed so highly on the lens that it makes it uncomfortable to use the glasses, insofar as you must put your chin down and look through the top of the lenses. Consequently, we apologize for any disappointment you experienced as a result. We want to advise that we put the top of the progressive reading corridor at 5 millimeters above the center line of the lenses. This frame’s lens height is 38 mm, so the center line of the lenses is at 19 mm up from the bottom, with the top of the progressive reading corridor placed at 24 mm up from the bottom of the lens, leaving 14 mm of distance vision. In addition, we use a style of progressive glasses called free form, which has a 12-14-mm-wide progressive reading corridor, with no vision correction on either side of this progressive reading corridor. We advise customers to point their nose at what they are viewing or reading through the progressive reading corridor, rather than moving their eyes from side to side. This order is a little more than a week outside its 30-day warranty period, which starts the day the glasses are delivered. However, we can make a one-time customer service exception to extend the warranty period for you to return these glasses to us for one of our two refund options – either a 100 percent refund of the price of the glasses in the form of store credit to your Zenni account or a 50 percent refund to the credit card you used to pay for the order. If you select the 100 percent store credit refund option, you may use the store credit toward the purchase of a new pair of glasses, perhaps with a shorter lens height, maybe 32-36 mm high, which would provide more distance vision at the top of the lenses. If you would like to pursue returning the glasses for one of these refund options, we invite you to telephone Zenni Customer Service, at 1-800-211-2105, and anyone who answers will be eager to assist you with emailed instructions to return the glasses for the refund option you select.

Thank you for posting your Zenni review of the glasses you received. We were sorry to read that the virtual try-on feature did not accurately convey the size of the frame, and we apologize for any dissatisfaction you experienced as a result. We want to confirm that we recommend that customers peruse the frame dimensions under the enlarged picture of the frame on our website, rather than using the virtual try-on feature to determine the frame dimensions. The frame you selected, full-rim, aviator, stainless-steel, spring-hinged, pink frame 418919, with a frame width of 147 millimeters, is in our large-frame category. Nevertheless, we also want to recommend the information we provide in an infographic found toward the middle of the bottom of every page of our website: How to Measure Your Frame Size: https://www.zennioptical.com/measure-eyeglass-frame-size-how-to. This infographic explains how to measure the dimensions of each element of a pair of eyeglasses you have now that fits you well and looks good on your face, so that you may shop for a frame on our website with similar dimensions. It does not have to be an exact match. You have a 2-mm leeway on each element of an eyeglasses frame, with a 3-4 mm leeway on the temple arms. We also have information in our Help Center that is very useful for determining the frame size you need for a frame to fit you well: https://help.zennioptical.com/hc/en-us/articles/360049904633-How-Do-I-Find-My-Frame-Size-. We hope that this information is helpful.

Thank you for posting your Zenni review of the eyeglasses you ordered from us. We were sorry to read that you could not see well with these glasses, and we apologize for any disappointment you experienced as a result. We do not see any other order you placed with us, so we cannot compare the prescription and pupillary distance (PD) you used on this order with those entered on another order that contained glasses with which you could see well. This order is approximately two weeks past its 30-day warranty period, which starts the day the glasses are delivered. Nevertheless, we can make a one-time customer service exception to extend the warranty period on your behalf and invite you to return the glasses to us for an inspection, if you confirm that you entered the prescription and PD correctly. Unfortunately, since you mention that you kept the frame, we want to advise that if you altered the glasses in any way, we will not be able to accept them for an inspection or a refund. In addition, we do not know why you stated that it would cost you $8.00 to return the glasses, because we email U.S. customers prepaid mailing labels to use for return postage if they need to return glasses for an inspection or a refund. If you did not alter these glasses, and you return them for an inspection, and our inspection finds that we made the glasses incorrectly, we can remake them for you for free. However, if it turns out that something was entered incorrectly on the order, or if our inspection finds no mistakes on the glasses, we can return the glasses to you or offer you one of our two refund options – either a 100 percent refund of the price of the glasses in the form of store credit to your Zenni account or a 50 percent refund to the credit card you used to pay for the order. Therefore, we invite you to telephone Zenni Customer Service, at 1-800-211-2105, and anyone who answers will be eager to assist you.

We were sorry to read that one of the pairs of sport sunglasses has a tint that is too dark for you to use the sunglasses effectively, and that the darkness of the tint prevents you from determining whether the prescription in the lenses is correct. Consequently, we apologize for any disappointment you experienced as a result, although of course we are pleased to know that you are satisfied with the other two pairs of glasses.

The glasses I got from Zenni Optical didn't work. So, I sent them back, and that was about 10 days ago and I haven't heard anything yet. What happened was I had an exam, and then I ordered my glasses. I got just single vision for distance. When I put them on, vertical surfaces were slanted and stuff on the floor was coming up a little higher. So, I went back to my eye doctor and I said, “Is something wrong with the prescription?” She put on the tester glasses with that prescription, and I put them on and nothing was wrong. That was what I told Zenni and I sent them her prescription and I sent the glasses back.
They needed the prescription, which I emailed. Then they sent me the label. I wrapped it up and put it with the FedEx label and brought it to the store, and I haven't heard anything yet. I didn't want a refund. I just wanted them to remake them so that I could have them. If they can't remake them, I will take the refund. If I could go to my doctor's office and she puts on these trainer glasses and they work perfectly, I think Zenni should be able to do the same thing. Other than that, I always order from Zenni.

We were sorry to learn that the coating is coming off the frame, and we apologize for any dissatisfaction you and he experienced as a result. In addition, we also are sorry that we misinterpreted your complaint about the coating coming off the frame as a coating coming off the lenses, which is why we initially offered you the option of returning the glasses for a 100 percent store credit refund – the parenthetical information we provided that the refund would exclude the shipping fee does not mean that you would have had to pay to return the glasses to us.

I tried to order my mom glasses and I've done three pairs. They all came back where she can't see through them. We put the new prescription in and they're just not working for her. But Zenni’s website seems easy to manage and the purchase process is nice. They need to come up with better cases for their glasses though.
Thank you for posting your Zenni review of glasses that were ordered for your mother. We were sorry to read that she cannot see well through the lenses of these glasses, and we apologize for any dissatisfaction you and your mother experienced as a result. Insofar as you did not provide any order numbers in your review, we looked up your last name and your city, and we see four orders placed by someone with your name in your city – o3482077206, o3619118348, o3699619338, and o3775593198 – all of which have the same prescription and pupillary distance (PD). However, there are no notes in the database records of these orders indicating you contacted us to advise of any issues regarding these glasses. Therefore, we believe that these are orders you placed for yourself. We also see three orders placed by someone who shares your last name and is also in your city – o3462330287, o3758668229, and o3784441744 – and we believe that those orders are the ones placed for your mother. The first two of these three orders, o3462330287, placed on November 29, 2020, and o3758668229, placed on March 29, 2021, have the same prescription in the Spheres, -2.50 for each eye. The third order, o3784441744, placed on April 9, 2021, has +2.50 in both Spheres. No changes were made to the other prescription values and the PD. This third order was delivered on April 22, 2021, according to the U.S. Postal Service website. Insofar as it is now only a little more than a week past the end of this order’s 30-day warranty period, which starts the day the glasses are delivered, we can make a one-time customer service exception to invite you to telephone Zenni Customer Service, or invite your mother to telephone Zenni customer service, at 1-800-211-2105, to discuss whether the prescription and PD were entered correctly on this order. If they were entered correctly, we can invite you or your mother to return these glasses for an inspection. If our inspection finds any manufacturing errors on the glasses, we can offer to remake them for your mother for free. If the inspection finds that we made the glasses correctly, we can return them to your mother or issue one of our two refund options – either a 100 percent refund of the price of the glasses in the form of store credit to your Zenni account (or your mother’s Zenni account, since it appears that the email address associated with these three orders is different from the email address associated with the other four orders, so your mother may have ordered these glasses from her Zenni account), or a 50 percent refund of the price of the glasses to the Apple Pay account that was used to pay for the order. Therefore, please have a copy of the prescription handy when you call, or please advise your mother to have a copy of the prescription handy when she calls, and if the PD is not on the prescription, please advise how it was obtained – self-measurement, friend or family member measurement, or eye doctor measurement. If the wait to speak with a customer service representative is lengthy, you may have an online chat with us by clicking the button labeled Support, at the lower right-hand corner of every Zenni page. You may also email us, at service@zennioptical.com, and if you choose this communication method, please put the order number, o3784441744, in the subject line of the email, and in the body of the email please advise of the issue about which you are contacting us, and please attach a copy of the prescription. If the PD is not on the prescription, please advise in the email how it was obtained – self-measurement, friend or family member measurement, or eye doctor measurement. We very much hope to hear back from you or your mother, so that we may resolve this matter to your and your mother’s satisfaction.

Hello, Myself and boyfriend have ordered over 20 plus pairs of your glasses over the years. I did it for the low cost on some pairs. I can't do it any longer. The coating or something leaves a strange pattern on the lens. You can see it when you hold it to the light a certain way. The Zenni Employees are super!! This review is about the Eyeglasses only.
Thank you for posting your Zenni review of the glasses you have received. We were sorry to learn that you dislike the anti-reflective coating you have ordered for your glasses, and we apologize for any dismay you experienced as a result. Nevertheless, we were happy to learn that you are pleased with the assistance you have received from our customer service representatives. We want to advise that the anti-reflective coating should be invisible when you look through the lenses, but there will be green or purple reflections, or both, on the front of the lenses, and as you noted, when you hold the glasses to the light at a certain angle, you can see these green or purple reflections. Therefore, we would like to suggest that on your next order you leave off the anti-reflective coating and see if you like the appearance of the lenses better. Moreover, as an additional measure of apology for this matter, as well as a gesture of our appreciation for you and your boyfriend as longtime customers, we are going to email you an item that we hope you will use on your next order with Zenni.

I have ordered maybe 10 pairs from you and NEVER been disappointed, until my last pair. I have one pair I really like and keep ordering them when they get lost/eaten by a puppy. The last pair I ordered fall off my face when I look down. I still like them, but it has become hazardous when I bend over to pet my puppy.
Thank you for posting your Zenni review of the glasses you have ordered from us. We were sorry to read that the frame on your most recent order, full-rim, square, plastic, pink translucent frame 125619 slides off your face when you bend over to pet your puppy, and we apologize for any dismay you experienced as a result. We see that you have ordered this frame three times, and we are happy to confirm that this most recent order is within its 30-day warranty period, which starts the day the glasses are delivered. Therefore, we are going to ask our lab to send you a free replacement frame 125619. You should receive an email from our lab later tonight, confirming that they are sending you the free replacement frame 125619. When you receive the replacement frame, and you are ready to swap the lenses from the frame that falls off your face, here is a how-to video, How to Replace Lenses in a Full-Rim Frame, which can be found toward the middle of the bottom of every page of our website, and which we hope will be helpful: https://www.zennioptical.com/c/how-to#howto-replace-fullrim. If you would like our assistance with the lens-replacement process, we invite you to telephone Zenni Customer Service, at 1-800-211-2105, and anyone who answers will be eager to walk you through the lens-replacement process. However, the problem may be solved with an adjustment of the frame, perhaps by pulling the two front rims closer together, to improve the fit of the 22-millimeter-wide bridge on your nose. In addition, the temple arms of this frame are embedded with stainless-steel rods, which make them easy to adjust, by bending the temple tips down or in, to make the glasses fit more snugly on your ears. Therefore, the instructions provided in this infographic, found, like the how-to video, toward the middle of the bottom of every page of our website, How to Adjust Your Glasses (https://www.zennioptical.com/how-to-adjust-your-eyeglasses), may suffice to explain how to adjust the frame so it stays on your face, and your puppy will not have an opportunity to eat the glasses. If you can successfully perform the necessary adjustments with the frame you have now, you may simply keep the replacement frame in the event that something happens to the original frame. We thank you again for your review, and we hope that either the instructions in the How to Adjust Your Glasses infographic or the free replacement frame resolves this matter to your satisfaction.

Original Review: May 11, 2021
I've been a long time zenni advocate. For reasons possibly completely explainable the last 3 pairs of glasses I've purchased from Zenni have all had their own variation of focal oddities. I have a very very slight prescription for distance and a not very large adjustment for near vision, I've been purchasing no-line multi-focals. One pair focuses on near sight at an odd spot in the glasses, the latest pair is fine sitting at my computer but I cannot even use them outside, driving or anywhere I'm looking more than 20-30' away. To be fair it is very likely time for me to have another eye exam, and the prices one pays at Zenni is so much cheaper than at the local store that I've lived with the less than perfect results but this review should stand to highlight the potential downsides.
Thank you for posting your Zenni review of the three most recent pairs of eyeglasses you purchased from us. We were sorry to read that these glasses have been problematic, and we apologize for any dissatisfaction you experienced as a result. A review of the 10 orders you have placed with us since you placed your first order, in February 2016, shows that you have placed all your orders with two alternating prescriptions, which are considerably different but have the same pupillary distance (PD). The most recent order you placed, o3713816898, on March 16, 2021, has the same prescription you used on your previous orders o1269185973, placed on March 21, 2018, o1153170471, placed on December 15, 2017, o400384400, placed on September 26, 2017, and o381880822, placed on February 23, 2016. The other prescription you used was on orders o3481961502, placed on December 12, 2020, o2775403538, placed on November 26, 2020, o1813665656, placed on April 10, 2019 (we remade one pair of glasses from this order for you in order o1929424026, on June 12, 2019, because of a problem with the half-rim, rectangular, stainless-steel, gray frame 463312), and o1368653339, placed on October 7, 2018. We see no notes in the database records of any of these orders except for o1813665656, the notes of which refer to the issue with the frame. Therefore, although your most recent order, which the U.S. Postal Service advises was delivered to you on March 29, 2021, is a little more than a week outside its 30-day warranty period, which starts the day the glasses are delivered, we will be happy to make a customer service exception for you to contact us about the issues you experienced with your three most recent orders, by telephoning us at 1-800-211-2105, and anyone who answers will be eager to assist you. However, the only order that we will accept for an inspection or one of our refund options is this most recent order, o3713816898. When you call, please be prepared to advise the customer service representative who answers of the two different prescriptions you have used, and please have copies of these prescriptions available, so that you can confirm that the prescriptions have been entered correctly, when you discuss the glasses from the three most recent orders. If the wait to speak with a customer service representative is lengthy, you may have an online Chat with us by clicking the button labeled Support, at the lower right-hand corner of every Zenni page.

I started researching what monopolies are and Zenni is one of the first examples of someone who's trying to fight a monopoly right now. I ordered from them using my boyfriend's a prescription and I didn't know anything about prescription at all, so it was confusing trying to enter the prescription stuff in. We entered it after I made an account and all I had to do was find the preferred glasses style that I thought would look really good. Then we applied the prescription to the glasses of our choice. And it did make the process very simple and very good for someone who doesn't like going to the eye doctor very often.
The shipping was pretty decent as well. They said I'd get my order in two to three weeks and I got it around the two-week mark. The quality of the product is also very impressive. I was expecting it to be a little bit cheaper looking but it came out much higher quality than we originally thought. We'll probably end up going back and buying more glasses eventually.
Thank you for posting your very gratifying Zenni review of your experience ordering your boyfriend’s glasses on our website. We appreciate your comment about monopolies, since one of the reasons our founders started Zenni was to provide inexpensive, high-quality options for eyeglasses wearers who wanted – and needed – alternatives to the high-priced glasses offered elsewhere, a market dominated primarily by one company. We are very heartened to know that you and your boyfriend and millions of other customers have benefitted from the very affordable glasses we provide. It was also good to read that you found it easy to select a style that would look good on your boyfriend and enter his prescription on the website. We are delighted that the glasses were delivered quickly, and of course we are heartened to know that you found that the glasses in the full-rim, rectangular, stainless-steel, spring-hinged, gray frame 414012 were of a much higher quality that you had expected. We thank you again for posting your review, and we look forward to making more glasses for your boyfriend, and for you, too, if you also wear glasses. Even if your vision is 20/20, you can order some great nonprescription sunglasses from us, with standard 80 percent dark tints, beautiful gradient tints (80 percent dark at the top of the lens, getting progressively lighter to the bottom of the lens, where it’s 10 percent dark), polarized lenses, and photochromic (light-sensitive, auto-tinting) lenses in one or more of our stylish, affordable frames.

I ordered frames and progressive lenses. Love the frames. They are made well, they’re comfortable and built to last. The progressive lenses are off...I took them to an optometrist to see if the prescription was incorrect. She could not determine if the prescription was off because there are no “markings” on the lenses to indicate where each progression starts and ends. I think Zenni would benefit its customers if said "markings" were incorporated in their lenses. End result is that I had to have the optometrist cut new lenses.
Thank you for posting your Zenni review of the progressive glasses you ordered in February 2021. We were happy to learn that you love the frame you selected – full-rim, square, metal, spring-hinged, graphite and blue frame 159521 – but we were sorry to read that your vision was not good through the lenses of the standard progressive glasses you ordered. Consequently, we apologize for any dissatisfaction you experienced as a result. Your comment about your optometrist’s observation of the absence of markings on the lenses was apt, since progressive lenses should have little engravings with plus marks (+) on the sides of the lenses that indicate where the progressive reading corridor is placed on the lenses. When you returned these glasses to us for an inspection, just like your optometrist, our inspector also was unable to see the engravings on the lenses, which should be discernable to an inspector or an eye doctor, and, if you look very closely at the lenses, perhaps by you, although they should be subtle enough that they do not in any respect interfere with your vision. We were very sorry that the absence of these engravings prevented your optometrist and our inspector from determining where the progressive reading corridor was placed on the lenses. Because of the absence of these engravings, had everything been entered correctly on the order, we would have offered you a free remake of the glasses. However, because your pupillary distance (PD) was entered as 50 millimeters rather than the correct PD value, 56 mm, we regret that our policy states that if the customer enters anything incorrectly on the order, the return option becomes one of our two refund options – either a 50 percent refund of the price of the glasses to the source of payment, in this case a PayPal account, or a 100 percent refund of the price of the glasses in the form of store credit to your Zenni account. You selected the latter option, and it was good to see that you used the store credit toward the purchase of a new pair of progressive glasses in the same frame, and we see that those glasses were delivered to you one month ago, on April 5, 2021. Of course, we hope that you are satisfied with these progressive glasses.

I got on Zenni and the first pair of glasses I ordered was $60, which was good for me because they last six to eight months. It's better than paying $200. I started using Zenni then. It's really handy that I can upload my prescription on their website and it's cool that I can keep it uploaded on there. It's also cool that I can customize my glasses. I can put something on my glasses like saying, "If found, call such and such." Also, I like how the tool lets me know what my face looks like with the glasses on and I like how the site lets me pick individual type lenses. I get the recommended lenses and if it's too expensive, I can always dial it down.
The only thing I really didn't like was I bought a tool set to loosen them up but the screwdriver wasn't small enough for the glass screws. It was still okay, though, because I made something work. Other than that, it’s a decent site. I don't expedite because it's about the same price whether I do it or not. I’m gonna get it about the same day, so it'll be 5 to 7 business days or it could be 7 to 10 business days. It takes about a week for me to get mine when I don't expedite it, so it's pretty cool for me. It's a really good site. When you first get to it and you get the recommended, it might be a little expensive but it's cheaper than paying for a whole set of glasses right then and there. Also, it's worth it in the long run. You get your money's worth of glasses.

I appreciated the prices Zenni offered other than my eye doctor that I've been going through for two to three years. I kind of like Ray-Ban styled glasses, some kind of nicer glasses rather than your average plastic ones. That would be what I would always get from my eye doctor. I would always have to wait for my insurance to kick in every year or two years so I could re-up on my glasses because if you get prescribed Ray-Ban glasses, they might run about $300 out of pocket. So, once I got older and started paying for the glasses myself, I looked at Zenni and they had a lot of glasses in the styles that I like in way better, more affordable prices, and I never looked back ever since.
The glasses I order from Zenni come faster. I've been ordering from them for about three years or so now. They usually say it will take around four weeks, and I've gotten them as quick as two weeks before. Another time that I've ordered, it did take that four weeks. But I've been okay with waiting a month and they've gotten here faster than I expected before.

Thank you for posting your Zenni review of the glasses you most recently received from us – not bifocals but one pair of standard progressives, with distance (driving), intermediate (computer), and near (reading) vision, with no line separating these focal fields, unlike the bifocals we offer, which have a bifocal segment lens described by a line, and one pair of single-vision glasses with distance vision. We were sorry to read that you can see objects that are close better without the progressives, and that one of the frames you received is flimsy. These glasses are only approximately one week past their 30-day warranty period, which starts the day the glasses are delivered. Insofar as you apparently have vision issues with the progressives, and an issue with one of the frames you selected, either the frame with the progressive glasses – full-rim, rectangular, plastic, blue frame 278216 with multicolor temple arms, or the frame with the distance glasses – full-rim, rectangular, flexible-plastic, teal frame 2019616 with brown temple arms, we will be happy to make a one-time customer service exception to extend the 30-day warranty period on your behalf to invite you to telephone Zenni Customer Service, at 1-800-211-2105, and anyone who answers will be eager to assist you regarding the vision through the progressive lenses of frame 27826 and the frame that you have found to be flimsy. If the wait to speak with a customer service representative is lengthy, you may have an online chat with us by clicking the button labeled Support, at the lower right-hand corner of every Zenni page. You may also email us, at service@zennioptical.com, and if you choose this communication method, please put your order number in the subject line of the email, and in the body of the email please advise of the issues about which you are contacting us. We very much hope to hear back from you, so that we may resolve these matters to your satisfaction.

I've been ordering from Zenni for several years now and I absolutely love them! Will not get my glasses anywhere else! The Rx is so much better than any of the local one hour places I've tried and the frame selection is unmatched! I highly recommend Zenni to all my friends and family!

I recently started wearing distance only glasses so I didn't want to put a lot of money them if I wouldn't be wearing them everyday. I was so pleasantly surprised by the variety, quality and speed. I told my niece about it and she also ordered a pair.

First I say thank you for bringing RX glasses at the prices you offer. A pair of rx bifocal glasses I purchased from Zenni cost $47. A pair almost identical to the $47 Zenni glasses purchased from my local optometrist cost $330. The only issue I’d like to see in the future is a category of frames for people with high correction lens. My lens are +500 and up.
A lot times I select an advertised frame and go through the steps only to find I can not get them due to the fact my rx is too high. It would be nice to have a category available for people with strong corrections so we would know up front the frames available for our correction. I have been disappointed many times trying to select an advertised frame only to find out once I get into selecting the lens rx I can’t have them due to the strong rx. I would hope this review gets read and truly considered. It’s already a bummer having bad eyes. Then it makes it even more stressful to have to keep trying to fit my rx in to a pair of frames. I appreciate Zenni and recommend you to anyone I can. The savings on glasses allows me to have several pairs instead of one. It’s not your fault I have terrible vision. But then you could make the purchase experience a lot more user friendly for all the people like me by considering adding a category for strong rx lens.
Thank YouNick
Thank you for posting your Zenni review of your experience ordering eyeglasses from us and for offering a suggestion that we establish a section on our website advising of frames that will accommodate a strong prescription.

Moreover, we are grateful for your suggestion that we establish a category on our website specifically for people who have strong prescriptions, so that they can select frames that will accommodate their prescription.

I have ordered 3 pairs of prescription glasses over the past few years. All were 100% perfect. This year I ordered new ones and when they arrived, the prescription was so far off that they were unusable. I called and shipped them back for inspection. It's been 3 weeks and I still don't have my replacement. Has quality control at Zenni been slipping lately? I had thought I found my permanent solution to getting my glasses.
Thank you for posting your Zenni review of the glasses you most recently received from us. We were happy to read that your glasses from your previous orders were perfect, but we were sorry to learn that there was an issue with these glasses, which our inspection, performed on May 2, 2021, found had manufacturing errors. Consequently, we apologize for any dissatisfaction you experienced a result. As you requested, we are remaking these glasses for you, and you should receive an email from our lab later tonight, confirming the remake of the glasses with a new order number. We thank you again for posting your review, and we trust that this remake will resolve this matter to your satisfaction.

This is my third pair of glasses from Zenni, the first two were spot on, my current pair? Not even close! I wanted to return them and then found out that to have a package of that size sent back to China with a tracking number that follows it from start to finish is over $50! The CCP, or the Chinese government, subsidizes those companies who ship to the US, that's why most don't charge for shipping costs, so you would think they could absorb the cost of returns, especially if they had any real confidence in their product. Also, this pair has lenses that everything sticks to, and is almost impossible to clean, while my first two pairs didn't. I have used Zenni because of cost, as I am a disabled senior living on a very fixed income, and for them to expect me to foot the bill for shipping on their mistakes doesn't resonate well with me.
Thank you for posting this Zenni review of the glasses you most recently received from us. As we advised in our response to your Trustpilot review, we were sorry to read that you could not see well with these glasses, and that you are having issues with the physical properties of the 1.59 pure polycarbonate gray photochromic Vision-Ease LifeRx® lenses. Consequently, we apologize for any dissatisfaction you experienced as a result. This order is more than two weeks outside its 30-day warranty period, which starts the day the glasses are delivered. Nevertheless, we will be happy to make a one-time customer service exception to extend the warranty period on your behalf and invite you to return the glasses to us for an inspection, once you confirm that you entered the prescription and pupillary distance (PD) correctly. We see that you used the same dual PD, 35 millimeters for each eye, on each of your orders, so we expect that this PD is correct, but the prescription you used for this order differs from each of the two different prescriptions you used for your 2017 and 2019 orders, but of course prescriptions frequently change over time. However, we were dismayed to read the incorrect information you included in your review regarding return shipping. First, the glasses are not returned to our lab in China but to our U.S. headquarters office in Northern California, where they are inspected. If the customer entered the prescription and PD correctly and our inspection finds we made the glasses incorrectly, we ask our lab to remake the glasses for free. Second, we email U.S. customers prepaid mailing labels to use for return postage, so no customer in the U.S. pays for return shipping. Insofar as we see no notes in the database record of this order indicating you contacted us about these glasses, we invite you to telephone Zenni Customer Service, at 1-800-211-2105, and anyone who answers will be eager to assist you. Please have a copy of the prescription you used to place the order handy, because the customer service representative will ask you to read the prescription to them to confirm that it was entered correctly. If the PD is not on the prescription, please be prepared to advise how it was obtained – self-measurement, friend or family member measurement, or eye doctor measurement. Or simply advise that your vision was good through the lenses of the glasses from your two previous orders, and this will indicate that the PD you used on all your orders is correct. If you confirm that you entered the prescription and PD correctly, we can invite you to return the glasses for an inspection. We will email you the instructions to return the glasses for the inspection, and we will also email you a prepaid mailing label to use for return postage. If our inspection finds that we made the glasses incorrectly, we can remake them for you for free. However, if it turns out that something was entered incorrectly on the order, or if we receive and inspect the glasses, and our inspection finds them to be correct, we can issue one of our two refund options – either a 100 percent refund of the price of the glasses in the form of store credit to your Zenni account or a 50 percent refund to the credit card you used to pay for the order. If the wait to speak with a customer service representative is lengthy, you may have an online chat with us by clicking the button labeled Support, at the lower right-hand corner of every Zenni page. You may also email us, at service@zennioptical.com, and if you choose this communication method, please put your order number in the subject line of the email, and in the body of the email please attach a copy of the prescription. If the PD is not on the prescription, please advise how it was obtained. If the prescription matches what you entered, we will email you the instructions to return the glasses for an inspection and we will also email you the prepaid mailing label. If the prescription does not match what you entered, we will email you to ask if you would like to receive the 100 percent refund in the form of store credit to your Zenni account or the 50 percent refund to the credit card you used to pay for the order upon the return of the glasses.

Purchasing from Zenni was cheap, quick and easy. The cost alone is the biggest thing. Also, just pop in your prescription and then fill out the form. I ordered four pairs of glasses in the last two months and I've had so much success. I can see better in their lenses than I can even straight from my eye doctor. Their quality is awesome. You can go to the biggest glasses store in the world and pay gobs and gobs of money and you're still gonna have the selection that they have at Zenni. I have orders from friends on my account.

Could not find a frame that would accept my bifocal with a 64 pd. Advised me to seek satisfaction through a single vision, How very unhelpful. Walmart, American eye etc have no problem. Single vision previously purchased were suitable. Wasted an hour on stupid, stupid stupid.
Thank you for posting your Zenni review of the bifocal glasses you received. We were sorry to read that this order was placed with a zero in the left eye (OS) Sphere category, whereas your prescription apparently calls for +0.75 in the OS Sphere, as your previous orders indicate. In addition, on your previous orders, you entered -1.75 for the right eye (OD) Cylinder, whereas on this order you entered -0.75. We do not know whether your eye doctor provided a new prescription subsequent to the one you used to place your December 10, 2020, and November 8, 2020, orders, with new values for the OD Cylinder and OS Sphere, or whether these items were entered incorrectly. In addition, we see that on those orders, for single-vision distance glasses, you used a pupillary distance (PD) of 61 millimeters, whereas on this order you entered a PD of 64 mm. The notes in the database record of the order indicate that when you contacted us and had an online Chat session on March 13, 2021, you confirmed to our customer service representative that you entered incorrect values on the prescription. Consequently, we apologize for any disappointment you experienced as a result. Moreover, we were puzzled to read your statement that you could not find a frame that would accommodate a bifocal prescription with a pupillary distance (PD) of 64 mm, insofar as we have many frames that will accommodate a bifocal prescription with a PD of 64 mm. If you scroll down on any page of the Zenni website to where we have the column SHOP BY CATEGORIES, on the lower left-hand side of the page, you will see the subcategory Best for Bifocals. If you click on Best for Bifocals, you will see frames that will accommodate bifocal prescriptions, and many of these frames will accommodate a PD of 64. When you see a frame that has an appearance that you like, to determine whether the frame will accommodate a PD of 64 mm and your prescription, and whether the frame will fit you well, click on the picture of the frame so that the picture enlarges. You will see under Details the enlarged picture of the frame, and under SPECIFICATIONS, you will see the PD Range and the Prescription Range the frame accommodates. To the right of this under Details are the dimensions of each element of the frame, as well as the weight of the frame, in grams. To determine whether a frame will fit you well, we want to recommend the information we provide in an infographic found toward the middle of the bottom of every page of our website: How to Measure Your Frame Size: https://www.zennioptical.com/measure-eyeglass-frame-size-how-to. This infographic explains how to measure the dimensions of each element of a pair of eyeglasses you have now that fits you well and looks good on your face, so that you may shop for a frame on our website with similar dimensions. It does not have to be an exact match. You have a 2-mm leeway on each element of an eyeglasses frame, with a 3-4 mm leeway on the temple arms. We also have information in our Help Center that is very useful for determining the frame size you need for a frame to fit you well: https://help.zennioptical.com/hc/en-us/articles/360049904633-How-Do-I-Find-My-Frame-Size-. You returned the bifocal glasses you ordered for a 100 percent refund of their price in the form of store credit to your Zenni account. We received the returned glasses, and on March 22, 2021, we refunded what you spent on these bifocal glasses, $29.90, in the form of store credit to your Zenni account. We hope that the information we provided will be useful when you place your next order with us.

In middle school, I got my first pair of glasses and they were outrageously expensive. They were over $200 or $300. My parents were reluctant to pay for them but they were essential for me to use them so they got me those pair. One of my friends told me about all these glasses and brands that are similar but almost 100% less. Once I made enough money, I asked him about the website and he told me it was Zenni Optical, and I have purchased from them ever since then. I looked at other websites that have the similar offers and found one but their process took longer so I stuck with Zenni. I like that purchasing from them is fast. There’s a variety too.
I've been an almost annual customer, unless they break. I buy them the same year. The quality is great. They don't make them breakable as the fancy ones do. They look fancy but they're more durable. I like to drink and party so I would know. I also like the additional measuring things that they added to the prescription. I've had friends who wanted to order from Zenni as well, but their PD wasn’t labeled on their prescription paper. That diameter thing was useful when they asked me what their PD was. I recommended Zenni to all my friends and family already and they bought also. They love it too.

I love the glasses that I got from Zenni and I'm getting a lot of compliments on them. I ended up getting the cut engraving on the corners of the wands and a lot of people find them to be very quirky. They also really love the way that the frames have that wood graining work appearance even though they're plastic. People said they would see my face perfectly and I'm not having any trouble with any tightness around the temples. The glasses are very lovely and I'm really glad that I got them through Zenni because it's accessible and affordable.
Their website is very intuitive and straightforward. It is very user accessible, too. But I have a very specific pupillary distance, which is 75, and the website said it was unusual. So not only did they keep trying to tell me that my pupillary distance was wrong, but it did unfortunately, downsize my choices because of that very specific size. I still found very wonderful glasses in spite of that, but they should have a little bit more availability. Other than that, the website is clean and I found a lot of styles there that I normally wouldn't find going to the eye doctor.
