My Zenni glasses came apart and needed a special screw evidently as I have been to 4 optical places and they do not have the screws to fix them. I wrote an email to Zenni and they said they had no provisions for repair. Buyer beware -- if your glasses break or come apart, other opticals may be unable to repair them. For this reason, I will never buy Zenni glasses again.
Thank you for posting your Zenni review of your rimless frame 234711 coming apart, resulting in your losing a screw that is needed to repair this frame. We were sorry to read that the frame came apart and you lost this screw. Consequently, we apologize for any dismay you experienced as a result. We were also sorry to see that you contacted us about this matter long after the 30-day warranty period, which starts the day the glasses are delivered, and during which we could have sent you a free replacement frame 234711, and you could have taken the new frame to a local optical retailer to have them replace the lenses in the new frame. Nevertheless, we want to confirm that you may purchase a new frame 234711 for half the price that is shown with the frame on our website, $23.95, which is the price of the frame with prescription or optical quality nonprescription lenses. When you purchase the replacement frame 234711, for $11.98, please ask the lab to include some extra screws, nose pads, and the screwdriver tool. Then you may take the lenses and the replacement frame to a local optical retailer for the repair. We hope that this information is helpful.

I've purchased from them more than once. The website has even improved a little over the last year or so. The product takes quite a little while to get here but that's the main drawback to it. It takes about three weeks. Also, the quality is a little less than what some other brands might be. But they’re good for me as an adult. I have a son and I tend to stick with Zenni because we're changing out glasses so often. But they are durable enough to last through a period. I noticed the ones that I had purchased from an eye doctor that might be several hundred dollars a pair was heavier weighted. The plastic is heavier. The glasses from Zenni feel a little lighter weight and a little less solid but they certainly do the job.

I saw a girl with some glasses that I liked. I told her I liked them and she told me to get it from Zenni. Their website was very easy to navigate. I received my glasses pretty quickly. The glasses look exactly the way I thought they were going to look. They seem pretty sturdy. They're flexible enough to wear. Zenni is wonderful and I would order many more glasses. They were so affordable and the sunglasses part works really, really well.

I purchased two pairs and they’re good for what I'm using them for. I was referred by a friend and ordering from Zenni Optical was easy. The only drawback was I couldn't speak to anybody. When I went looking, I contacted them and it's through customer support and we just emailed. Other than that, the glasses are stylish and they fit well.

My glasses broke and I didn't have any more spares left. I called around to several places but was told if I needed to order contacts I could. But nobody would fit me for new glasses. A total stranger providing customer service by phone, told me about Zenni Optical. My regular doctor gave me the same info a couple weeks later. Both people spoke of the great prices Zenni has. So I went to Zenni's site with my optical prescription in have. It didn't take long and I had tried several pairs of frames on my picture with a 180 degree view. My wife is ordering a second pair too and they've each cost under 100.00 dollars, although you can spend more depending on your own fashion taste.

I was extremely surprised at the rapid response and to extremely satisfied with the outcome of the final verdict. They were fair and I am once again pleased with this company that I have personally used to purchase many glasses for family members with no insurance etc. I think they are reasonably fast this error although it wasn't mine nor theirs because the RX was written wrong by the medical professional (eye doctor). It was resolved and I am happy! THANK YOU.

I purchased glasses for my mother in law and she opened and tried them on a week or so after they arrived. I had moved away to Florida from Maryland and when coming back to visit one month later I called customer service to fix the lenses because the RX prescription was swapped. The right eye is the left and the left RX is the right. They stated nothing could be done after 30 days. BUYERS BEWARE. AVOID THIS ONLINE website. I'm an optician of 15+years and there are definitely better online places to buy from.
Thank you for posting your Zenni review of the glasses you ordered for your mother-in-law, which we were sorry to learn were ordered with an incorrect prescription. Insofar as you identify yourself as an optician with more than 15 years’ experience, we were also sorry to learn that, as you confirmed to our customer service representative, you entered the Spherical value for the right eye (OD) in the dropdown window for the left eye (OS), and entered the Spherical value for the left eye (OS) in the dropdown window for the right eye (OD). Consequently, we apologize for any confusion you experienced. We understand that we declined to extend our warranty period for this order on your behalf when you telephoned us on August 20, 2020, to advise that the prescription was entered incorrectly on the lenses. Insofar as this is your first order with us, and because of the issues regarding your moving affected the time it took for you to contact us about the glasses, we are going to extend the warranty period for you as a customer service exception, to allow you to 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 glasses. If you choose the store credit refund, you may use the store credit toward the purchase of a new pair of glasses with the correct prescription. If you would like to pursue this option, 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.

Beware - Still waiting for my order. I was told max 2 weeks delivery from the time my order was received. I placed the order on the 4th of August. Today is the 20th. I asked for a tracking number on the 17th, which they supplied. It shows that the label has been printed but nothing has been received yet. So I wrote back and explained that this is just a bogus tracking number to appease me and nothing has been shipped, to which they replied: "Thank you for contacting Zenni. We are so sorry for any inconvenience caused to you. Due to recent Covid-19 pandemic, it will arrive later than usual." I am as sympathetic as the rest, but I called to make sure that there were no expected delays before I ordered. So if you need your glasses quickly - not recommending this co.
Thank you for posting your Zenni review of the delivery time of your order. Your shipping method was Standard shipping, for $4.95, which comes with a 14-21-day delivery time promise, and we are sorry for any misunderstanding regarding the shipping time. Consequently, we apologize for any dissatisfaction you experienced as a result. The tracking number we provided is assigned before the package gets delivered, and we were also sorry to read that you questioned the validity of the tracking number. When we entered the tracking number, 9400136206444013964756, in the tracking window of the U.S. Postal Service website (usps.com), we saw that the glasses are scheduled to be delivered to you today, August 21, 2020, the 17th day after the order was placed, well within the 14-21-day delivery time promise. Nevertheless, we see that as a customer service gesture, we refunded the $4.95 shipping fee to the credit card you used to pay for this order. We hope that you are pleased with this courtesy refund, and we also hope that you will be pleased with the glasses when you receive them.

My daughter did hers and said that she had a good experience. I just got a new prescription, so I tried Zenni. It took a little while to get my glasses done, but it's been a good experience until the lens part busted. When I got up this morning and put my glasses on to go to work, the whole top part of my lens on the one side fell off. I keep this pair in the case and I don't use them other than at work wherein I'm just in the office. I have another pair that I use for when I'm outside doing stuff as well. I called in about my lenses and I'm waiting to see how things will go. Zenni was supposed to be doing something about it because my glasses are still in the warranty.

I ordered some glasses from Zenni several years ago, but I haven't since then until just now. Ordering was pretty simple. The only thing is I've always had the glasses with flexible springs in the sides, and the pair that I just got don't. They're a little tight on my head. It's the same dimensions as my previous glasses, but the bows fit pretty tightly. Other than that, it got here pretty quickly. I'm satisfied.

A friend who was rather hard up for money tried Zenni Optical and said they were good. So, we tried it and they are. The glasses are perfectly aligned. The prescription is perfect. The frame is a little shaky, but a little fragile, but they have not broken yet. I got what I paid for and they’re perfectly adequate. My wife liked the website very much. They also have a decent, prompt response. But everything is so messed up and shipping to Maui is difficult, so our order took a little longer. But that was expected.

I ordered two pairs of glasses in May. I got headaches when I tried to wear them. Then COVID hit and I wasn't able to take them in to get the prescription checked. I finally did last week (August). The optometrist told me that one wasn't even my progressive prescription and the other was reading glasses. I now have two pairs of glasses that I can't even wear and no one will get back to me. Never again! I'm not just going to give up, I want a full refund.
Thank you for posting your Zenni review of the two pairs of mid-range workspace progressive glasses you ordered in April and received in May. We were sorry to learn that you got headaches when you wore the glasses, and we apologize for any dissatisfaction you experienced. Although this order is outside its 30-day warranty period, which starts the day the glasses are delivered, we will make a one-time customer service exception to extend the warranty period to invite you to return the glasses for an inspection. If you choose this option, please telephone Zenni Customer Service, at 1-800-211-2105, and anyone who answers will be eager to assist you. Please have the order number handy when you call, and please advise that you would like emailed instructions to return these glasses for an inspection. We will email you these return instructions, and we recommend that you enclose with the glasses the receipt you obtain at the Canada Post office for the return postage. If our inspection finds any manufacturing errors, we will refund the return shipping fee to the credit card you used to pay for the glasses and offer to remake the glasses for free. If you would prefer that the remake be done in the standard progressive prescription type, we will be happy to remake the glasses for you in that prescription type. However, as our customer service representative advised, if our inspection finds that the glasses were manufactured out of tolerance of your prescription and you decline a free remake, we can make a one-time customer service exception to offer a 100 percent refund of the price of the glasses to the credit card you used to pay for them. However, if you do not want to return the glasses for an inspection, we can issue 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 them. If the wait to speak with a customer service representative is lengthy, you may have an online chat with us by clicking the Support button found toward the lower right-hand corner of every Zenni page, or you may contact us by emailing us at service@zennioptical.com. If you choose this contact method, please put your order number in the subject line of the email, and in the body of the email please advise whether you would like to return the glasses for an inspection or, if you decline to return the glasses, whether you want one of the previously outlined refund options available to you. We are eager to hear back from you, in the hope that we may resolve this matter to your satisfaction.

My friend back in 2013 told me about Zenni. I've been using Zenni as an eyeglass ordering place since then. It's really easy ordering as long as I have the eyeglass measurements which is handy that they provide tools online. The fact that I can upload pictures of myself and try on that way is really helpful. But maybe they can have an iPhone app or something like that will be cool. Their turnaround time was really great. It took two weeks to get my glasses and the fact that they emailed me updates made it seemed like it was much faster. That way, I was in the loop of when my glasses order was processed, manufactured and sent out.

My cousin told me about Zenni Optical and it was a really cheap and affordable way for me to order glasses because usually when I go to a doctor, it's really super overpriced. So that was why I started to order from Zenni. The order process was super easy because all I had to do was go to the doctor and get an eye checkup to renew my prescription. Then all I had to do was upload it onto the website and then it processed everything for me. Sometimes, I do the try-on feature, especially when I'm not sure with a specific style because they have so many options and it's really helpful. The shipping's not too bad. It actually comes in on time, as it says. Zenni really saves me a lot of money. I keep breaking all my glasses and I have 10 pairs at home.

I've probably been ordering through Zenni around 2009 and it's usually always good. The process is pretty straightforward if you know what you're looking for. It gives you the option like plastic frames. It gives you different styles to look through. I've had a couple that are probably not the same quality as far as the frames go as what you get at an optical supply especially when I've ordered for my kids who go through glasses like crazy and even myself. But that price point is much better for me than usually the higher-end frames especially if we've already exhausted our insurance benefit.

I have ordered three times from Zenni - I think they are the best eyeglass company on the internet. I love the "virtual try-on" feature, in which you use your computer camera to make a head-and-shoulders 3D image of yourself, which can then "try on" the different styles of eyeglasses. You can have the head turn from side to side, which makes it better than using a mirror.
The eyeglasses can be inexpensive enough for experimentation. I needed something for spotting things in the distance. My main problem is astigmatism, but one of my eyes is mildly far-sighted. So, rather than correcting both to my normal eye, I asked my optometrist if I could get both corrected to the far-sighted eye. He was dubious, and did not really think it would work. However, because some Zenni glasses cost no more than pharmacy reading glasses, I was willing to experiment. And they work!
My other glasses have the more advanced lenses and coatings, which I HIGHLY recommend for daily-wear. My everyday glasses are both photosensitive and have the "Blokz" coating, which protects against blue computer light. Definitely worth it; my eyes do not get that fried feeling after long computer usage. Finally, Zenni's huge selection of frames will satisfy just about any aesthetic. Highly recommend.

I had tried warbyparker.com, and they mail them to you once you try them on, but they were still a lot more expensive. Price was my motivating thing. I saw Zenni first and I wanted to try it and see how it would work. I was able to use the try-on feature. Once I got my measurements from my eye doctor, I used that as a reference because glasses are kinda funny on me. The only thing I didn't like about it was the fact that I was unsure of how they were gonna look until they came. But I like the glasses fine, so it worked out well. As far as the quality of the item, they've been wonderful glasses. I've only had them for a short time, but compared to the last pair I had, they are wonderful.

I came across them and used them four years ago, and then we liked the glasses and got them again. My wife always picks out the frames and I like the quality. Although, my son broke his pair last night, so I wasn't super happy about that. Usually, when you step on glasses, they don't do well. Other than that, the shipping speed's a little slow for us, but we're in Alaska, so we are used to that.

My son's girlfriend told me about Zenni. It took a couple of weeks for me to get my glasses. I didn't know what to expect or how long it was gonna take, and I don't know where they're shipping from, but with COVID going on, it was nothing that I wasn't expecting. The only thing is where the bows are at. I was expecting the bows to be flat and these are actually just one wire spring. It's kinda like stainless steel. It was a little bit difficult to look at the features online. Other than that, so far, so good. If my wife needs glasses in the future, I'd order them from Zenni.

As you should be, I was skeptical of ordering glasses online, especially for a prescription as crazy as my husbands is. Well, I am skeptical no more. I ordered them online, inexpensive frames, progressive bifocal lenses, Photochromic lenses, they arrived within two weeks and I paid only $83.00 in total. They are much better quality than the ones I got at my local optometrist, were less expensive and came three weeks sooner than the ones I ordered locally. I wanted to have an extra pair and will now use these as my main pair and my locally purchased ones as a spare, they are so much better. So if you're hesitating on purchasing your glasses because you can't trust everything you see on the internet, take my word for it, you won't be disappointed.

Zenni had good quality for a great brand. Ordering is super easy and I usually receive my order within two weeks. Their products have held up. In fact, my 11-year old said, "Mom, these hold up better than my $100 glasses that we get from the eye doctor." So, although they're not as high quality, they almost hold up better because they're a little more flexible and good for kids especially.

My little one has had to get glasses so I needed some that were cheap in case we happen to lose or break the others. I wanted to have some backup. Through Zenni, I got sunglasses and another item, and it was fine. The Virtual Try-On was nice. I was pleased with what we had bought so it was pretty true to the way that it looked online. If you don't truly love it, you can still wear them around the house with the styles if they didn’t look right. I figured that would be a win-win for us. The only thing that I had an issue with was his prescription was too high so I had to go order those from my eye doctor. But that has nothing to do with the online glasses. Other than that, I was very pleased. We got our order pretty quick. We’ll definitely be ordering again, especially for him.

I got the blue light glasses so I didn't need to find my prescription. There were plenty of styles that I liked. I ended getting two pairs because they have so many cute ones. It took a little over two weeks for me to receive them but I changed my address in the time between placing my order and receiving it. I was fine with the ship time because they were sent to my original address then had to get forwarded. I was very happy with the whole process and I'm really happy with the glasses.

It was the price and ease of being able to figure out which one would fit me that made me purchase from Zenni. I have about eight pairs from them and most of the ones that I've gotten are plastic rims. Recently, I got a pair of circular round metal rims as well. I use the Try-On tool. There's one of the models that kinda best fits my face structure. It was good. Zenni is the way others should go instead of going to a big local chain.

It took 2 weeks to complete the order. I requested the new customer discount and they denied this because I was military. Once I received the glasses, they were made of the lightest, cheapest material I could imagine. And when I put them on, I could not see a thing. The prescription they used was not the one I sent to them. I went to COSTCO and found some outstanding glasses, best I have ever had. They were $100, but YOU WILL GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. I asked for a full refund and they said no. They only give 50% refunds and only after they get the glasses back. I tried to review at Yelp and Google but this is not allowed. They are using a commercial agency they can control. Let's see if this shows up as the only other one star review on this site after 700 reviews. Go figure.
Thank you for posting your Zenni review of your experience ordering glasses from us. We are sorry that only one promotional discount can be used on an order, and since we already applied the military discount, we regret that we were unable also to provide the new-customer discount. Consequently, we apologize for any disappointment you experienced as a result. We are also sorry that you dislike the frame you selected, model 532312, and we apologize for this dissatisfaction, as well. Moreover, we were also sorry to learn that you entered an incorrect prescription on your order, and we apologize for any confusion you experienced that caused the Spheres to be entered as plus when the prescription you received from your eye doctor and provided to us during your chat session with our representative about the glasses you received shows that they are minus, as is the Cylinder correction for your right eye (OD). As our customer service representative advised, when a customer enters a prescription incorrectly, the refund options are either a 100 percent refund of the price of the glasses in the form of store credit to the customer’s Zenni account or a 50 percent refund to the source of payment, in this case a credit card. You selected the 50 percent credit card refund option, and we see that on July 25, 2020, we logged in the receipt of the returned glasses. We will issue the 50 percent refund of their price to your credit card soon and email you confirmation of this refund with a transaction number. We trust that when we have done so, this matter will be resolved to your satisfaction.

I get my order in two weeks at the max and I'm extremely satisfied with that. I ordered a pair of glasses from GlassesUSA as well as a pair from Zenni and I prefer the Zenni ones 2,000% over the ones from GlassesUSA. I got the full rim plastic because I don't like nose pieces.

Finding the frames and styles that I'm looking for is super easy at Zenni. I have a teenage son and he really loved the trial feature. It measures his face and everything.

I've used Zenni Optical quite a few times for both my son and daughter's glasses. It started with my daughter. She was terrible with glasses. We would go to a place and get glasses, and then they would either get broken or whatever. I was like, “Oh, look, I can order your glasses on here. And some of them are only 10, 15 bucks. And I can order you three or four pairs.” And then if something happens, I'm not out a ton of money. You can change them up. It's so much better than glasses. I'm really happy with it. I've had better pairs of glasses from Zenni. I have went to a place and the insurance covers so much and whatever. I've been happy with all of them.
Turnaround time is fairly decent as far as getting your glasses. With my daughter's glasses, they all went really well. But my son's last pair of glasses wasn't Zenni’s fault. They were just too big for his face. He's in the preteen age so I might have overestimated the size that they needed to be. The prescription on his glasses is super strong. Maybe I'll just get the next pair in a shop where he can actually try them on. But I've done it three or four times and it just turned out that one was just a mess. I had a couple of hits and then one miss. It’s in the middle of the quarantine crap, so all of the eye places are shut down. I said, “Well, I better hurry up and order your pair before they say your script’s no longer good.” I ordered them, but I needed to go and actually have some fitted for his face. He just doesn't like them.
Sometimes, it's a bit complicated if you have multiple scripts. I manage scripts for our entire family on there. Even my mom is on there. We’ve ordered her glasses before, too. So when you go to the website add it in, sometimes it's a bit confusing. But the only problem is sometimes, say you have a certain script and you want to get a certain pair of glasses and you get halfway through it, then the glasses are not the right size for that script, then you have to go back and start over. I have another recommendation: More motorcycle glasses for people that wear sunglasses. My husband and I ride a lot and the that Zenni only has is the goggles. They make sunglasses that have the padding on the inside that look like normal sunglasses, but they're for motorcycle use. Zenni needs those.

I started ordering from Zenni six months ago and I’ve ordered twice. It’s very simple. I enjoy it. But there's a little bug on the try on feature. They could probably use some revamping on the software they use to map the face. It's not an accurate representation of the glasses on the face and the technology could be better. Other than that, it's pretty good. Also, I like my frames and the lens.

Zenni is affordable and I also got to input my own prescription instead of going through a doctor. They have cute styles. I've ordered from them three or four times. When I first started ordering, I used the 3D glass Try-On tool thing and it was okay.

A co-worker of mine passed Zenni along to me and it was easy ordering from them. Ordering online, you just never know how the glasses are gonna fit or if you don’t like them. If I was gonna order something online, I need to stick to something that was closer to what I'm familiar with rather than ordering something that is not totally new but different than my style. So, other than the uncertainty of it, it was a lot of measuring my existing glasses and comparing them to what was online.
I just ordered them and I got them the week of June 22nd. Less than two weeks when I placed the order, I got the confirmation as to when my glasses would arrive. So it was quicker than I anticipated based off of the feedback I got during the order process. I've had them for almost a month and they are very comfortable. My expectations were met and so far, they're working great.

There is a choice of frame sturdiness with the cost. There are many tiers of lens levels depending on what you can afford. Depending on the dollar strength at the time of ordering (It’s all US prices) you can get several pairs for about $150 Canadian with shipping. It’s $10 US for shipping for the order. When my children were young I could get them nice eye wear for $15, Canadian, a pair. So you can afford the extra pair and prescription sunglasses for about $50 per child.

I started ordering from Zenni since March of last year and it was simple. I chose the glasses that I wanted and put my prescription. I used the try-on feature and put a picture of myself. I also took the dimensions of other glasses that I had in the past and compared with the dimensions given by the website. I saw what I could fit better since I considered that I have a large face. I just picked all the largest ones that I found. I paid for it and received it within two weeks. I've returned glasses in the past and I have 60 days to do it. Other optical websites are terrible. It was always a problem for them to answer me and it was limited. The window to return it was 15 days after they got it but then, the shipment was delayed. So, my 15 days were not 15 days but one week. So, I like that Zenni gives a big window to return and the process is better than others.
The first time I returned glasses, my optometrist gave me the wrong prescription and it was not Zenni’s fault. When I got the glasses, I didn't see anything and I went back to my optometrist. He realized that he was wrong so I had to return them and the process was straightforward and easy. Zenni gave me a gift card that I can spend only in the website. Right now, I have to return ones that didn’t fit my mom.

Even then there was no guarantee that the lenses would fit inside the frames. I saw that I could have this process done through Zenni.com for 30.00 plus the cost of the frames. I had nothing to lose. Plus, they had so many frame styles and shapes to choose from. I ordered a pair. The frames were only 6.95. With shipping included, I paid just under 50.00.

Zenni is easy to use and always on time. It’s cheap and manageable. I just go get my prescription and order my glasses. I’ve been using Zenni for almost six years. Every pair that I’ve gotten has worked out perfectly and has not broken on any part aside from me sitting on them or stepping on them but that’s my fault. The cheaper plastic ones have a tendency to bubble from the ear part. I’m assuming it’s from the oils on your skin that breaks it down. Then with the paint, I can scrape it off of my finger if it gets bad enough or old enough. I usually go with plastic frames. But this time, I tried something different and got metal frames.

I ordered for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I ordered frames, progressive lenses, and a few accessories. They arrived in a little over a week, which I thought was really good. Then, I try on the glasses. They were too hard to see out of. At first, I thought it was just a matter of needing time to get used to the glasses. But I was getting headaches (I almost never have them) and I really couldn’t not see out of the glasses. To read, I had to take the glasses off and to see distance, I could only look out a narrow space at the top of the glasses. There was no way they could measure the progressions as would normally be done if I bought the glasses locally, so I assumed they had some way to do it.
I set up a return and returned them with no problem. Initially, I had asked for store credit but instead wanted a refund. I couldn’t trust them to get the progressions right. The refund policy says that if the customer makes an error in ordering or just doesn’t like the glasses, they can either get 100% store credit or a 50% refund. Well, this wasn’t a case of not liking the glasses, and I did not err in the ordering of them. Their manufacturing process was the error. But, they are keeping 50% of the charges any way.
So now, I’m out roughly $48 AND have to buy glasses locally which I was trying to avoid. I don’t know how they do on single prescription lenses, but clearly, they are abysmal at making progressive lenses. I hope they enjoy my $48. Given that I am out two incomes due to COVD-19, I could have used the full refund, but alas, I guess they need the money more than I. I know many people who have been happy with Zenni - I am not one of them, and I will never use them again, even though they have some accessories I would like.
Thank you for posting your Zenni review of the rimless progressive glasses you received from us. We were sorry to learn that the glasses were too small to fit you well, that you had difficulty using all but the distance portion at the top of the lens, which you felt was too small, and that you got headaches while wearing the glasses. Consequently, we apologize for any dismay you experienced as a result. Since you mention that you believe that we may have made the glasses incorrectly, we want to advise that when a customer complains that they cannot see well with a pair of glasses and confirms that they entered the prescription and pupillary distance (PD) correctly, we will invite the customer to return the glasses for an inspection. If our inspection finds any manufacturing errors, we can remake the glasses for the customer for free. However, when we listened to the recording of the telephone call you had with our customer service representative, and read the transcript of the later chat session you had with another representative, we were sorry to hear and read that neither of these representatives asked you to confirm the prescription and PD, and if you had confirmed that you entered these values correctly, invited you to return the glasses for an inspection. If we received and inspected the glasses, and if our inspection had found any manufacturing errors, we would have offered to remake the glasses for you for free, and we could have discussed the size of the rimless frame 466521 and lens shape you selected (lens shape 226), and recommended that the remake be done in an alternative rimless frame and lens shape that would fit you better and perhaps provide more vision coverage throughout the lenses. We also could have discussed how our free form progressive lenses work, with a fairly narrow, 12-14-millimeter-wide, progressive reading corridor, with no correction on either side, and which starts at 5 mm up from the center line of the lenses. We could have offered to do the remake in a different prescription type – perhaps one pair each of single vision distance-, intermediate-, and near-vision glasses, or a pair of bifocals. Insofar as well did not discuss any of these options with you, we regret that the customer service we provided in this instance was not the accurate, effective, thorough, gracious customer service that customers expect and deserve. it is the responsibility of all Zenni representatives to provide this level of customer service, and we also apologize that we did not uphold this standard in this instance. Therefore, we are going to make a customer service exception when we receive the returned glasses to issue to your credit card the full refund, $102.70, which you had initially requested when you contacted us. You should receive an email from our lab when we receive the returned glasses and refund the full amount you spent on them, $102.70, confirming this credit card refund with a transaction number.

Before Zenni I’ve pretty much only buy Ray-Bans. But Zenni's house brands are really high quality and I haven't gone back to acquiring Ray-Bans. The lenses are great and with my work, I really abuse my glasses and their house brand really stands up to all of this.
I’ve gone through a few different styles but I really like the glasses that I now use and have gotten this model three times. One pair got ruined so I had to use some ancient backups that the prescription wasn’t as good and the frames were all beat up. Now, I have an official backup pair identical to the ones that I’m wearing right now. So if these get destroyed or my kids step on them or something like that, I’ll have a backup that’s actually good. I got these for $33. Back when I had to go to the mall, I would spend over 250 bucks on a pair of glasses ‘cause my left lens had a really strong special lens. But the Zenni ones are affordable.

First off I understand things are slower due to COVID. But I ordered my glasses 6/09/2020 and they were manufactured on 6/16. That means they were shipped to the shipping destination. To then be shipped to me. But nobody in customer service can find a tracking # and Zenni keeps stating just wait longer. So the priority shipping I paid $8.40 for doesn't apply to them shipping my glasses to the California destination, and it's very unsettling that they can't tell me anything about where their own shipment is!!!! That's the kicker. So needless to say I'm not getting my glasses within the 14 day window I paid for and we're missing a huge Cargo ship from China....**. Hopefully, I will be able to get them one day but not holding my breath.
Thank you for posting your Zenni review of the shipping issues you experienced on your order. We are very sorry that we have not met the 10-14-day delivery time promise for Priority shipping, and we apologize for any dissatisfaction you experienced as a result. Insofar as our customer service representative confirmed that the glasses arrived on Monday, June 22, 2020, at our U.S. headquarters office for delivery to you, we expect that the glasses will be mailed today, and that when they are mailed, a tracking number will be assigned to the shipment, and that you will be able to track the progress of the shipment with the tracking number at usps.com. However, if these glasses are not shipped and assigned a tracking number this week, we can offer you a remake of the order or a refund to your credit card of the price of the two pairs of glasses, insofar as we already refunded the $8.45 Priority shipping fee, since we did not deliver the glasses to you within the Priority time frame.

A friend of mine had ordered from Zenni and I wanted to give it a try. Finding frames is pretty easy. Once we got the hang of how to take a picture, it worked really well. It was pretty helpful in picking out the frames. We ordered 2 pairs that were kind of on the cheaper side to see how it works before we ordered another pair that's gonna be his glasses for this year. We had to take his pupil measurement because he didn't do that at the eye doctor. I got a little frustrated when I was trying to add in the information about his eye doctor and his prescription. The website acted like it wanted me to put it in again. It was probably my error, but it was a little bit not super intuitive. I figured it out but it was a little bit more confusing than it needed to be. Older customers would give up at some point.
The shipment was a little slow but there was a holiday in there. All in all, it was a pretty good process. It is a little bit better than at an optical store. The pricing is great, and the options are fun. I kind of enjoyed the experience even though the glasses were for my husband. We could try them all on and it's better than going to an optical store where you feel like you have a 20-minute window to pick something from a shelf. We could also get opinions and laugh at funny glasses. It was kind of a different experience that I appreciated. I was a little nervous at first because I've never purchased glasses like that. It doesn't make any sense why you can't though. I would definitely recommend Zenni.

Updated on 07/19/2021: Just want to update my original review. Had problems with my glasses but were eventually fully refunded. It was stressful to sort out out but at least I got my money back and I’m not out of pocket anymore. That’s appreciated and gives me confidence.
Original Review: What absolute rubbish Zenni are. The glasses came to about $130 with a "sturdy" looking frame and some bells and whistles. When they eventually arrived I couldn't see at all with them, gave me a terrible headache and couldn't get used to them at all. Prescription was entered correctly. Return policy is awful but they said they will refund me if they find it was their fault.
Due to the terribly long process to return them I ordered another pair with same prescription elsewhere and they were perfect. But Zenni, a month later said theirs were correctly made, which can't be true otherwise because I couldn't see at all through them. The process is not transparent and they say whatever they like of course. I have no option but take their word. They offered me only 50% refund (and no shipping refund) or store credit which I won't use because I can't trust them. The sturdy frame also turned out to be flimsy. What a rip off. And yes, came from China. Not only I didn't save any money, I'm terribly out of pocket with Zenni. These are nothing but scammers. This practice is illegal in my country.
Thank you for posting your Zenni review of the progressive glasses you most recently received from us. We were sorry to read that you could not see well and got a headache while wearing the glasses. Consequently, we apologize for any dissatisfaction you experienced as a result. Insofar as the glasses were inspected as correct, we are also sorry that the inspection results did not comport with your experience wearing the glasses. Since you were pleased with the glasses you ordered from us in November 2017, with a similar prescription, we can only point to the difference in dimensions between the two frames on the two orders as a possible reason that the glasses you ordered in April 2020 are not working for you the way the ones you ordered in November 2017 did. The frame on the November 2017 order, model 234321, has a 137-millimeter frame width, a 51-mm lens width, and a 30-mm lens height. The frame on the April 2020 order, 2014615, has a 136-mm frame width (an insignificant difference), a 54-mm lens width, and a 34-mm lens height. The difference in the lens widths between the two frames account for some of the additional thickness of the lenses in frame 2014615. As we advised previously, the wider the lens, the thicker the middle of a lens with a plus prescription will be, and the thicker the outer edge of the lens with a minus prescription will be. In addition, the lens height difference between the two frames – 30 mm on 234321, 34 mm on 2014615 – may account for the difference in your ability to use the progressive reading corridor successfully, since you mentioned in your Reseller Ratings review that you had to raise your head to use the distance portion of the lens, and that the reading portion at the bottom is very small. We again apologize for the dismay you experienced regarding this order, and since we expect that you would not want the glasses returned, we want to reiterate that we can issue a 100 percent refund in the form of store credit to your Zenni account of what you spent on the glasses using your credit card, minus the $9.95 shipping fee, or a 50 percent refund to the credit card, as well as a 50 percent credit card refund of the amount of store credit you used toward the payment of the order. We are eager to hear back from you, so that we may provide the refund option you advise you prefer.

I ordered a pair of glasses from Zenni, like everybody else, I wanted to save a few bucks. I received a pair of glasses about 10 days later, to my disappointment I wasn't able to read with them.

Thank you for posting your Zenni review of the two pairs of rimless glasses you ordered from us, in April and June 2020, with which we were sorry to learn that you could not see well. Consequently, we apologize for any disappointment you experienced as a result. Although we see that you state in your review that you verified the prescription with our customer service representatives, we are sorry to advise that when you had an online Chat with our representative on April 30, 2020, to advise that you could not see well with the glasses from your April 15, 2020, order, o507611461, we asked you to provide a copy of your prescription and if the pupillary distance (PD) is not on the prescription, to confirm how the PD was obtained – self-measurement, friend or family member measurement, or eye doctor measurement. However, we do not see any indication that the prescription or PD was provided to us. We see only that these glasses were returned for a 100 refund of their price in the form of store credit to your Zenni account. We issued this store credit refund, $39.90, on May 19, 2020, and on June 7, 2020, you placed your order o3032671050, and used the store credit to pay for it. Of course, we were sorry to read that the glasses from this order are not working for you, either; we again apologize for any dismay you are experiencing as a result. The prescription and PD you used on the June order are the same as those you used on the April order, and we once again encourage you to email a copy of the prescription you got from the eye doctor, and the PD, with the previously outlined confirmation of how the PD was obtained, if it is not on the prescription, to us at service@zennioptical.com, and please put the order number in the subject line of the email. You may also telephone Zenni Customer Service, at 1-800-211-2105, and anyone who answers will be eager to assist you. Please have the order number handy when you call, and please also have the copy of the prescription you got from the eye doctor handy, so you may confirm it to the representative who answers, and please be prepared to confirm the PD. If the wait to speak with a representative is lengthy, you may have an online chat with us by clicking the Support button found toward the lower right-hand corner of every Zenni page. We are eager to hear back from you with the confirmation of the prescription and PD, and if you confirm that these items were entered correctly, we will email you instructions to return the glasses to us for an inspection, and we will also email you a prepaid shipping label you may use for return postage. We very much hope to resolve this matter to your satisfaction.

My dad ordered his glasses from Zenni Optical. I also order there whenever I need one or feel like it. This time I ordered because I thought I lost my last pair of glasses and it was pretty straightforward. I only wear my glasses at night just when I’m going to be out. I like the quality of the glasses and I feel like they are durable enough for that.

I normally wear bifocals but I wanted a pair of glasses just for distance with a wide round lens for watching television and for taking to the theater. This pair works perfectly. I am happy with them. I used the online virtual program to see what they would look like on my face and it gave me a fairly accurate representation. The reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because it took a while to get them.

Original Review: June 19, 2020
I have ordered 4 pairs of glasses from Zenni, I have always been very happy with the quality, efficiency and price when it comes to Zenni, however when I received a pair I wasn’t happy with and tried to contact customer service to exchange the pair, it was next to impossible. I used their online chat option and it would not connect me to a sales representative after several attempts. I kept trying for weeks. When I finally was able to get a hold of a representative, the 30 day return window had expired (I was looking for an exchange, not a refund). The representative said she would see what she could do but after a few minutes left the chat.
I was then connected with 5 different representatives and had to explain my situation over and over each time, only to be disconnected after each attempt. I eventually found an email addressed and sent an email regarding my experience with their customer service and was met with a passive, dry response that ignored my concerns and was basically a “we are not interested in your satisfaction”. This experience has frustrated me and turned me off from ordering from Zenni again, there are many websites offering a similar sales model that perhaps value their customers a little more. I used to recommend Zenni to everyone but I can’t say I will be doing that anymore.
Hi, thank you for posting your Zenni review of the glasses you most recently received. We were sorry to learn that you dislike the way the frame 4438333 looks on you, and we apologize for any dismay you experienced as a result of this matter, and we also apologize for the unsuccessful interaction you had with our customer service representatives. We see that this frame, 4438318, has a 133-millimeter frame width, which is considerably narrower than the frame widths of the frames you ordered in 2019: 419014 (140 mm), 195421 (144 mm), and 4427125 (140 mm). We see no notes in the database records of those orders indicating that you had any issue with the glasses on those orders. We want to confirm that we do not have sales representatives and we do not offer a frame replacement service, except when a customer contacts us within the 30-day warranty period, which starts the day the glasses are delivered, to advise that there is a problem with the frame they received, which could be resolved by sending the customer a free replacement frame. We will be happy to send a free replacement frame to the customer in this instance, so the customer can swap the lenses from the broken or damaged frame into the new one. If a customer reports that a frame has broken or become damaged beyond the 30-day warranty period, we advise the customer that they can order a replacement frame for half the price that is shown with the frame on our website. According to our records, the first contact we had with you about the frame on your most recent order, which was placed on April 13, 2020, and delivered to you on May 3, 2020, according to the websites of the mail carriers, Landmark Global and Canada Post, was on June 14, 2020, well beyond the 30-day warranty period. Nevertheless, we are going to make a one-time customer service exception for you, and give you the opportunity to receive 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 PayPal account you used to pay for them. Since you are in Canada, you will not have to return the glasses to us to obtain the refund option you choose. 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 the order number handy when you call, and please also be prepared to advise of the refund option you prefer. If the wait to speak with a customer service representative is lengthy, you may have an online chat with us by clicking the Support button found toward the lower right-hand corner of every Zenni page, or you may contact us by emailing us at service@zennioptical.com. If you choose this contact method, please put your order number in the subject line of the email, and in the body of the email please advise of the refund option you prefer. If one of the issues with 4438318 is that it is too small, given the larger frame widths of the frames you previously ordered, we want to mention that if any of the previous frames you ordered fits you well, we recommend that you select frames that match the dimensions of the frame you previously ordered that fits you best, within 2 mm, or within 3-4 mm on the temple arms, which have a greater leeway. The dimensions can be found under the enlarged picture of the frame under Details. If none of these frames fits you perfectly, and you have another pair that does fit you well that you did not buy from Zenni, we want to advise of a tool that explains how to measure the elements of this frame, so you can determine its dimensions. This tool can be found toward the middle of the bottom of every page of our website. It is our How to Measure Your Frame Size infographic: https://www.zennioptical.com/measure-eyeglass-frame-size-how-to. It does not have to be an exact match. As we advised, you have a 2-mm leeway on each element of an eyeglasses frame, with a 3-4 mm leeway on the temple arms. We hope that this information is helpful, and we look forward to hearing back from you with the refund option you prefer, so that we may resolve this matter to your satisfaction.

I use progressive lenses and LOVE them. Because I had been having some eye issues, I have had my old glasses for 3 years. However, I can still see out of them very well. Finally got a new prescription from my ophthalmologist a couple months ago. Was trying to decide between Zenni and Zeelool but went with the former because there were more positive reviews about progressives with Zenni. The doctor actually advised against ordering from online companies because she said they normally can't get progressives right. I decided to give it a try anyway. Chose some popular frames, upgraded from the basic lens, put in all of the info and hit submit after quadruple checking. Total came to $98 which was far less than I've paid at retail stores in the past.
Waited with anticipation and they finally arrived today. The frame quality is phenomenal, but that's not what's most important. The lenses are. Oh my, what a disappointment. This would have been my second pair of progressives. They were soooo off! I could see, but not that well. But after three years, a new prescription should have me seeing ants off the floor across the room. I tried them on later in the day, just to make sure my mind wasn't playing tricks. It wasn't. I love the look but I don't need fashion glasses. I need to be able to see and I cannot. So so so disappointed. I'll be sending them back.
Thank you for posting your Zenni review of the progressive glasses you received from us. We were pleased to learn that you are happy with the frame you selected, but of course we were sorry to read that you cannot see well with the glasses. Consequently, we apologize for any disappointment you experienced as a result. We see that when you contacted us about this, we replied with a request that you try the four-point-touch test and email us a copy of the prescription and confirmation of how the pupillary distance (PD) was obtained, if it is not on the prescription – self-measurement, friend or family member measurement, or eye doctor measurement. We also want to mention that we use a style of progressives called free form, which has a reading corridor 12-14 millimeters wide, and there is no vision correction on either side of this progressive reading corridor. We advise that free form progressive glasses wearers point their nose at what they are viewing on the computer in the intermediate vision section or reading in the near vision section, rather than moving their eyes from side to side. The upper portion of the lens should have wide distance vision, with the top of the progressive reading corridor placed at 5 mm up from the center line of the lenses. Your frame, 2027422, has a 31-mm lens height, so the center line would be at 15.5 mm up from the bottom, with the top of the reading corridor 5 mm above that, starting at approximately 20.5 mm up from the bottom. The lens width is 52 mm, so there would be large sections of the lenses on either side of the reading corridor that would have no vision correction. We are eager to receive the copy of the prescription, and the confirmation of how you obtained the PD, so that we can view the prescription and compare its values with those you entered on the website, since we see no previous orders you have placed with us. Once we see that you entered the prescription and PD correctly, we can email you instructions to return the glasses to us for an inspection. If our inspection finds that we made the glasses incorrectly, we can remake the glasses for you for free. If our inspection finds that we made the glasses correctly, or if it turns out that, unfortunately, anything was entered incorrectly on the order, we can issue one of our two refund options – either a 100 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. We are eager to receive the prescription and PD confirmation, so that we can proceed with what will be needed to resolve this matter to your satisfaction.

The frame width with this lens shape is 132 millimeters, as indicated in the Details section under the enlarged picture of the glasses that includes the other frame elements’ dimensions. If you were to select a different lens shape with a different lens width, this would change the frame width as shown under the enlarged picture.

Doing the virtual try on was fun. I love my new glasses and they are so affordable! I will enjoy shopping for a few more pairs. I tell everyone I know how great the process was and how great the prices are.

I needed not only a solution that was affordable for me at the time, but I also needed prescription lenses with blue light protection. At the time, there weren't many vendors, especially locally, offering that as all of the different optometry offices that I would contact and ask about and acted like they didn't have that option. I'm a writer, so I'm on the computer all day. Zenni had the option for affordability and kind of being able to add all the features to my lenses that I wanted to. I also found some frames that I was really happy with.
The online process is pretty self-explanatory. When I first purchased, I was a little bit worried that it might not be easy to input my prescription. But all of it has been easy. Also, you worry about ordering something like glasses online because you don't really know how they're gonna look on your face when you get them. But the photo import was pretty accurate. I've been wearing the same frames for two and a half years now. I've got two sets of glasses with the prescription lenses.
My only complaint is that the finish on the frames wears out really quickly. I have a pair of plastic frames and the finish starts to crack and peel within about two months to three months of wearing. So I would just reorder several pairs of the frames all at once. I have frames onhand so that when the frames wear out, I just replace the lenses in the new pair. But the price point kinda counterbalances that. They're $7 a pair, so I’m not too worried about it. I can order three or four pairs of frames at a time and be set for a year. The lenses have held up through popping them in and out of the frames so that says a lot.

I recently got a pair of full rim glasses from Zenni Optical. The glasses are really large. They're too big for my face. It’s the smallest size they have, so it doesn’t really work for me. But I’m gonna keep them. It’s too big of a hassle to return it. Other than that, I like the price and styles of Zenni's glasses. It’s a smooth buying experience.

A friend of mine told me about Zenni and so far they have been a good deal for me. I have a two-and-a-half-year-old and he has messed with my glasses all the time. The glasses I got seem like they might be of a crappy quality yet he has yet to break them. The pair I'm wearing is six bucks. So far, I like the styles Zenni offers. I have five kids who all wear glasses except one. Plus, my 15-year-old daughter has to have so many different glasses for different things. This is the only way I could afford to get them all glasses. I wish though that they had more oversized sunglasses. We like the big sunglasses that they have but they're not big enough.

I found the price excellent, however the prescription has only one 'sweet spot' that I can view through. The rest of the lens makes my view fuzzy. This means that I have to tilt my head to for my field of vision to be accurate, and move my head often to see clearly (rather than moving my eyes).
Thank you for posting your Zenni review of the progressive glasses you received. We are happy to know that you appreciate the price of the glasses, but we were sorry to read that you are having difficulty using the glasses, and we apologize for any dissatisfaction you experienced as a result. We see a previous order you placed in February 2020, but the prescription and pupillary distance (PD) entered for those glasses are different from the ones you entered on this April 2020 order, so we are surmising that those glasses were not for you. Since you mention that the lenses have only one sweet spot, we want to offer some information about the progressive glasses we provide that we hope will be helpful. We use a style of progressives called free form. Free form progressives have a progressive reading corridor shaped somewhat like a funnel, with wide distance vision at the top of the lens, getting progressively narrower, approximately 12-14 millimeters wide, in the sections with intermediate (computer) and near (reading) vision. There is no vision correction on either side of this progressive reading corridor, so we advise customers to point their nose at what they are viewing through the lenses, rather than moving their eyes from side to side, as you discovered when you tried to find the best way to use the glasses. The top of the progressive reading corridor is placed at 5 mm above the center line of the lenses. Your frame, 125116, has a 33-mm lens height. The center line, therefore, would be at 16.5 mm up from the bottom, with the top of the progressive reading corridor placed at 21.5 mm up from the bottom. We are sorry if this means the near-vision section of the glasses is small and placed on the lens in a way that requires you to tilt your head up to use it effectively. Since your frame’s temple arms are embedded with stainless steel rods, this makes the temple arms relatively easy to adjust. You may find that if you bend the temple tips (the part of the temple arm after the bend where they meet your ear) downward, this will raise the glasses and also raise the near-vision reading section of the progressive reading corridor, putting it higher, and, we hope, in your field of vision. We also hope that the information we provided in this response to your review helps you use these progressive glasses effectively, but if it does not, we want to advise that, if you believe that we may have made the glasses incorrectly, you may return them to us for an inspection. If our inspection finds any manufacturing errors, we will offer to remake the glasses for you for free. But if you do not want an inspection and would prefer a refund, we can offer you one of 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 them. Since you are in Canada, you would not have to return the glasses to obtain the refund of your choice. However, if you do want to return the glasses for an inspection, we recommend that you enclose with the returned glasses a copy of the receipt you obtain from Canada Post for the return postage. If our inspection finds that we made the glasses incorrectly, in addition to offering you a free remake of the glasses we will refund the return shipping fee. If you would like to pursue one of the refund options or the return of the glasses for an inspection, 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 the order number handy when you call, and please advise the customer service representative who answers whether you would like one of the refund options or to return the glasses for an inspection. If you choose the latter, we will email you instructions to return the glasses for an inspection, and again, we encourage you to enclose a copy of the return-shipping-fee receipt you obtain from Canada Post. If the wait to speak with a customer service representative is lengthy, you may have an online chat with us by clicking the Support button found toward the lower right-hand corner of every Zenni page, or you may contact us by emailing us at service@zennioptical.com. If you choose this contact 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 you are experiencing and whether you would like one of the two outlined refund options or to return the glasses for an inspection. We look forward to hearing back from you, so that we may resolve this matter to your satisfaction.

I have ordered from Zenni previously and was happy with the goods and services I received, however my latest order has left me very disappointed. I ordered frame 206815 with an addition of the 1.67 Blokz High-Index. The order was said to come with a standard anti-reflective coating, anti-scratch coating, UV protection and a case with a cleaning cloth. The blue light protection feature of the lens is barely noticeable and does not seem to be working at all. The lenses, unlike previous lenses I've received are practically uncleanable. They are also very susceptible to scratching. My glasses are constantly blurry because no matter how hard I try to clean them, they simply smudge everything. I've worn glasses my entire life and have never been so annoyed with a pair, it just does not seem to be normal and definitely not the standard I've previously received.
Thank you for posting your Zenni review of the glasses you received. We were sorry to learn that you are displeased with the 1.67 high-index Blokz™ lenses, which you feel do not block blue light, are susceptible to scratching, and remain smudged even after you clean the lenses. Consequently, we apologize for any dismay you experienced as a result. Regarding the smudged lens issue, we want to recommend using mild soap and warm water to clean the lenses, then patting them dry with the microfiber cloth that came with the glasses, or dipping the microfiber cloth in 70 percent isopropyl alcohol, and using this alcohol-wetted cloth to clean the lenses. We hope that these methods will help you clean the lenses successfully. However, if they do not, and if you do not have a blue light pen such as we sell as an accessory to test how the lenses block blue light, we want to advise that this purchase is only a few days outside the 30-day warranty period, which begins the day the glasses are delivered. 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 the order number handy when you call, and please advise the customer service representative who answers of the issues you are experiencing with these lenses. We will email you instructions to return the glasses for an inspection, and we will also email you a prepaid shipping label you may use for return postage. If we receive the glasses and test them with the blue light blocking pen, and this demonstrates that the lenses do not block blue light, we can remake the glasses for you for free. In addition, we will attempt to clean the lenses with the microfiber cloth and soap and warm water, or 70 percent isopropyl alcohol. If we also cannot successfully clean the lenses, we can remake the glasses for you for free. If our inspection finds that the lenses block blue light and can be cleaned, if you do not want the glasses back, we can 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 PayPal account you used to pay for the glasses.

I recently had an optho visit where, even with insurance, a pair of glasses (with most of the bells and whistles; progressive lenses, with transitional darkening in sunlight, etc) cost upwards of $500. As my vision is very important for my job, and seems to be on the decline, I ponied up the $500+ for the office provided glasses which are great. I wanted something specific to working on the computer, which I do 4 days per week, and the new glasses with progressive lenses were giving me a headache, so I figured I'd try an online, inexpensive supplier.
With skepticism, I found some frames I liked and entered the information from my prescription. To ensure I did it correctly I decided to chat with a technician - despite it being significantly less money, I didn't want to be wasting time/money on trial and error. My glasses arrived yesterday, and they turned out to be absolutely perfect! I can use them for computer work without getting headaches or struggling to find that magic spot in the lens to focus with. I'm definitely a convert! I will be using Zenni in the future when I need to update my prescription.

Don't expect the glasses to last more than a few month. A magnet fell out after a few months and they offered nothing in support. Don't expect anything after your first 30 days. Essentially disposable glasses. They have problems quickly and you have to buy another pair after a few months.
Thank you for posting your Zenni review of the glasses from your most recent order. You are a longtime, valued customer, and we welcome the opportunity to respond to your concern. As we stated in our response to your Better Business Bureau review, we were sorry to learn that a magnet came out of one of your frames that includes magnetic sunshades, and we apologize for any dissatisfaction you experienced as a result. We see that two pairs of glasses on your order include the magnetic sunshades – frames 583621 and 585311. This order was delivered to you on March 2, 2020, and unfortunately, it is outside the 30-day warranty period, which starts the day the glasses are delivered, and during which, if a magnet comes out of the frame or the magnetic sunshades, we can send a free replacement frame. Nevertheless, you may order a replacement frame that includes the magnetic sunshades, and it will be half the price you see on the website, which is the price of the frame with prescription or optical-quality nonprescription lenses. We do not know which frame lost the magnet, but 583621 and 585311 are each $23.95. To order one of these frames at half-price, the frame would cost $11.98. We hope that you will order the replacement of the frame from which the magnet came out. If it was 583621, a half-rim frame, here is a how-to video, found toward the middle of the bottom of every page of our website, explaining how to swap lenses from one half-rim frame into another: https://www.zennioptical.com/c/how-to#howto-replace-halfrim. If it was 585311, a full-rim frame, here is a how-to video explaining how to swap lenses from one full-rim frame into another: https://www.zennioptical.com/c/how-to#howto-replace-fullrim. We hope that the information in the how-to video relevant to the frame from which the magnet came out is helpful. In addition, when you order the replacement frame, please include a note in the Instructions box on the Checkout page asking our lab to enclose with the frame some extra screws and nose pads, as well as the screwdriver tool, which will help you swap the prescription lenses from the frame in which the magnet came out into the new replacement frame. We hope that this information is helpful, and that it resolves this matter to your satisfaction.

Overall satisfied with service. Employees did a good job answering questions and arranging for my new glasses. One suggestion I would make is to broaden your ordering options. I had cataract surgery in one eye so was trying to utilize my old prescription for one eye while requesting a plan lens for the other. Was unable to utilize original prescription so had to substitute and use just the distance correction part of the prescription as they could not pair a progressive lens with a plain lens. So I ordered the same frames I utilized the first time and swapped the lens myself.

Zenni is a great option for buying glasses if you don’t want to go to your local optician or optical center at one of the big box stores. It’s a great deal with low prices on frames and lenses - although the more “special” additions you tack on, the more expensive they get. I got a pair of bifocal, mirrored sunglasses for around $82.00 compared to over $300 at my eye doctor. I never could get the 3D preview feature to work, but you can also upload a photo and see how the glasses would look once you have them on. Not perfect, but it helps to visualize. I would also recommend looking at the frame size (listed in millimeters) and make sure they won’t be too small or too large for what you like.
