The guy I work for told me about Zenni Optical. He heard about it from the Clark Howard's radio program, where he explains deals and how to save money. My whole life, I have always gotten half-rim type glasses. The good thing about Zenni is that I can experiment because it's so cheap. I have very little to lose. They didn't always have the color that I wanted so I've been experimenting with different colors. One thing I do is that I'd make my own prescriptions because I have an unusual condition with my eyes that even though my overall prescription doesn't change. It's not a straight line from how far away it is to how poorly I see. It's a curve and the curve changes. It's really weird and there's no way of pinning that down. So for $20 I can guess and so far, I've guessed okay. It has probably been 5 times that I have ordered glasses from them.
Another reason I use Zenni is that depending on how far away you are or the thing that I'm looking at, I need a different kind of glasses. So I get different styles so I know which ones for what distance. So I went on their website and found the style that I used for far, but I couldn't find the one that I used for close. So I went back to my old order, found the number for it, typed it in and it took me right to it. That was troublesome. Also, when I buy glasses, I also order shaded clip-ons. A couple of times, the clip-ons will wear out before the glasses so I had to contact their customer service. Their website wasn't set up for selling glasses without clip-ons but they sent me a work-around. They really went out of the way to figure out how to help me with that. Every time order glasses, I just order a whole lot of clip-ons.
Their website's also difficult to navigate through. Last time I went on the website, I don't remember being able to see categories. Or if I did, I didn't see any categories that applied to me. Also, there wasn't a way of seeing everything because before, they had a whole lot of selections, but they were all grouped. So if I started at the beginning and scroll down, I could see the basic plastic ones. And then some of them kind of colors and then it would go to something else. I can't do that any more. I could not find what I was looking for by using the categories on the website. It's just a lot of things where they think is a step forward but in reality, it's two steps backwards. But the product is great and the price is the best around.

I have now ordered 4 pairs of glasses from Zenni, for my husband and I. The glasses were inexpensive and are of decent quality. The frames are sturdy and nice looking (one pair were a little more plastic looking than expected, but that style worked perfect for my dorky husband). I've never had an expensive pair of glasses, but for the significant price difference, I don't think there can be that much of a difference in quality. We even ordered transitional lenses and they work perfectly and were hundreds of dollars less than at my optometrist's office.
Their customer service is quick and good. They are happy to help. I incorrectly entered my prescription for one pair of glasses and I was given a one-time credit once I returned them. I did have to eat the shipping costs, but since it was my mistake I think that is more than reasonable. For the price and convenience, this online store is fantastic. I will continue to order my glasses here and I will continue to refer them to friends and family.

Purchased a pair of glasses with progressive lenses. The transition was pretty good after a couple of days. What bothered me was the website showed the glasses with a magnetic sunglass snap-on. What I received was the frame I did order but only a sunglass clip-on. The clip-on has two huge clips which are very distracting and block enough vision that I can't wear them. I'll probably buy from Zenni again but will verify the items on screen with a phone call before I purchase.

I purchased a pair of glasses and noticed a chip on the glasses a few days later. Called up Zenni and customer service wants to charge me for shipping for a new pair of glasses. First I need to send the glasses and after they received it they will give me either half credit or something. Couldn't understand, the person did not speak English clearly enough. By that time my conscience started kicking in and thinking why should I pay for shipping when it's their fault it's not perfect. I said I will no longer deal with Zenni and I hung up on them. Thumbs down on these clowns! There are other eyeglass companies which respect the customers.

The prices at Zenni Optical were better than what I normally see at regular stores. They also have a large selection of glasses to choose from. I wanted to try it out and see how it works. I ordered the frameless ones online and it was easy. I uploaded the photo and the people did some measurements. The glasses were something new that I haven't had before. I have them for about three months now. I'd recommend to a friend because they worked out very well for me and I had a good experience overall.

Considering their prices, I decided to do my purchase at Zenni Optical. Navigating their website was easy. I bought an custom, engraved, full-rimmed frame. I really like the glasses because they are very lightweight. Because of this, I've recommended Zenni Optical to a friend and she bought a pair as well.

Purchased these #170111 men's prescription frame new on 100116. Worn only for distance/driving. Worn on short strap around his neck. They broke at the nose piece while he was wearing them. Just fell off his face while he was at work. Broke 1st week of Dec/2016. I contacted Zenni on the 11th & submitted for a replacement frame on 121616. Received the replacement frames on 123116. These frames just broke while he was at work. Again fell off while he was wearing them. He works in a hardware store, in sales. Nothing outdoors or heavy physical stuff to endanger the glasses.
This company had been recommended to me by a coworker and I love the look of the frames but they only last a couple months. Could be the frame style which is why I included it in the product description above. I had to pay for the replacement frames as well... I paid nearly $31 for original order and almost $17 for the replacement frame which I feel should have had some kind of warranty.

I like Zenni Optical. Their prices were more affordable than the other companies, so I went with them. I’ve ordered a couple of times, and I bought nine glasses from them. I got half-rim and rimless glasses and they’re comfortable when I put them on. Also, their quality is good. Right now, I’m expecting one from them in the mail. I ordered it last week and hopefully, my pair will come in today. Usually, it takes a week for the glasses to get here.

Ordered 6 pair of glasses from them. Received 1 pair for my wife. She liked them but they didn't match the website. Temple kept falling off of them. 2nd pair arrived from another order and found that the 1st pair was not even the correct ones. ZENNI CS agents tried to make it work but had to send them back to get them to understand the problem. When they received them they said they weren't built by them and they did not ship them. Contacted them several more times. CS agents escalated it to corporate and corporate related back to the CS supervisors that they did not ship the frames weren't theirs. I don't know whose they are, or care, they shipped them to me and I paid for them thinking they were ZENNI's. Corporate does not wish to make a loyal customer and prefers to call me a liar after spending over $600 with them over a $110 pair of glasses they incorrectly shipped me.

I've bought from Zenni Optical for three or four years and it’s been good with them. My only problem was with the last pair of glasses which I got from them. They were too tight behind the ears and I had to have them adjusted. Also, I'd like to see some coupons. Other than that, I'm happy with Zenni Optical.

I just got my glasses Monday night (3/6/2017). I have never had bifocals before so I am getting used to them. They feel great and I really like how well they fit. They don't slip off my nose like the other glasses did. I would recommend them to anyone looking to get glasses.

Pretty long time for receiving my order. They make eyeglasses in one place, then send them to another and only after that ship to you. Lenses were off by about 0.5. Returned glasses for store credit. It's already 4 days after they received my return but no refund yet. Contacted Customer Service twice (by email and chat) BEFORE my order was shipped and it was fast and easy with very professional customer service BUT when I tried to contact them for Return issue, it is nightmare. No response on email nor chat at all and, to reach them by phone, I need to spend 1-2 hours on phone with no resolution. Eyeglasses themselves (including lenses) were pretty nice - certainly 5*... if lenses were accurate.

My husband got full-rim glasses from Zenni Optical and he loves it and is very happy. The type of glasses that he wanted was fully round, whereas all the ones he did when he went shopping in a store weren’t quite fully round. Everything was done online and it was easy to order the glasses.

I've been getting eyewear from Zenni Optical for many years because of the options that they had. Most of their eyewear are plastic and fit real good. I got my half-rim glasses from them, and I've had it for months. However, these glasses are a little bit too wide for my face.

I am very happy with my prescription reading glasses I bought from Zenni Optical. I can't believe how much I paid for glasses before. I will always buy from Zenni now. The quality is there and you can't beat their prices. I also ordered a new pair of bifocals from them. I am waiting for them. They make it easy to order online. The selection is great. You even get a case and cleaning cloth with your glasses. I need to make an eye appointment for my husband. He will be getting his new glasses from Zenni as well! In my book Zenni is definitely a five-star rating company. I am so stoked that I found their website. Thanks Zenni for making quality affordable glasses!!!

It's time to stop paying high prices for glasses. There's no reason for it other than these people that sell them for $350 a pair are greedy. So I applaud Zenni. You can’t freaking beat their price. Thank you Zenni Optical for keeping the price low, because glasses are a necessity, not a luxury. But at their prices I could afford to buy some for luxury.
My glasses normally cost over $350, but for $110 plus shipping I got photo-transition lenses, the frame, the clip-on for the sunglasses, lens reduction and thickness option, which is a high index, and anti-scratch coating. So I'm happy. It’s not worth getting the anti-scratch coating at all though. It creates more problems than it actually prevents. I have three pairs from Zenni already that have a bunch on swirls on them and they’re hazy. It’s because the coating wears off too easy and then what you're looking at is actually the coating wearing off. I've had to replace glasses every six months because of it. I'm now thinking to remove the anti-scratch coating using some kind of glass etching stuff which will take the entire coating off. If it works, great, I accomplished saving three pair of glasses from the trash.
I also had to buy new frames because the nose bridge supports are really frail. And it is extremely difficult to get the new lenses in. I’ve been wearing glasses all my life and I do all my own glasses repair and I couldn’t do it. So I had to take it down to a professional and have them do it. But other than that my experience with Zenni was all good. I've recommended them to a lot of people. All the glasses I wear are stylish and people have commented on them, and I've made a couple of sales for Zenni talking to other people about their fantastic prices and good shipping time.
If Zenni had more stylish knock offs with popular styles and brands I would buy glasses just to have a different style to wear for dressing up in a suit or a sport or casual dining. I'm the kind of guy who likes to have a pair of glasses in every vehicle that I own, a pair of glasses just for working and a pair of glasses for what I'm wearing. I would like more selection. I'm looking for different shapes. Something that looks like a cat's eye. Something you don't see everyday. A cross between sunglasses and glasses with style, because I'm tired of the normal-shaped glasses. Maybe if they could knock off those really expensive style of glasses, it would be great. Because I’ve found a couple of pair I’d really like to buy and they’re unique and stylish, but the frames alone are $300.

I've been a loyal customer for years. I ordered from Zenni because the eyewear was stylish, comfortable and very affordable. However, over the last year, there has been a significant decline in both the product as well as customer service. I've ordered three pairs within the past year. The first pair was an incorrect size but the hassle of sending the eyeglasses back didn't seem worth the small price I paid (under $25). The next pair I ordered simply fell off of my face mid-sentence during a meeting I was hosting. Finally, the third pair was yet another incorrect size, this pair clearly designed for a toddler with an exceptional small head. I've had it! There are too many other companies out there to waste any more time with Zenni. When I tried to get help via Online Chat, the first gentlemen couldn't access my order and told me to call back. Subsequent request for help were ignored or I was 'disconnected'. Guess Zenni doesn't care about losing customers.

After ordering glasses for our child and waiting 17 days for delivery, I received an EMPTY envelope. I called and waited on hold for 15 minutes. Zenni said the best they could do was ship the glasses I already paid for (making me wait another 17 days). They refused to offer even a partial credit due to their mistake. When I said that wasn't acceptable and I'd like to speak to a manager, the call was disconnected. I then tried their live chat. Even though their site says live chat is available, I waited 20 minutes with no response. Zenni Optical seems to gloss over any mistakes they make and offer nothing in return. Their customer service is pretty abysmal.

I will NEVER order from this place again. 3 times I have tried with them and I'm done. This third time I used my credit. THEY NEVER answer their phone. Their answering service tells you less than 14 min then when you sit and wait it turns into 18 min and 45 min. They ship from CHINA which should give you an idea on how LONG it takes. I paid extra this last time and I'M STILL WAITING with no answers!!! They do not send you emails with tracking, nothing. The worst is when you try to get a hold of them!!

I ordered a pair of glasses (with progressive lenses) from Zenni on January 9th and had them delivered January 21st. I paid the extra ~$4 for priority shipping to get them as quick as possible. Well with the exception that they have a lot of purple and blue reflections (to others), I loved them so much I ordered a second pair on February 13th. This time I did not pay the priority shipping as I didn't need them in a rush. Well they arrived today, February 27th. Paying $4 more, I received them only 2 days earlier than the basic shipping?!? Now with that said $4 isn't that much, however, it seems like a cash grab that people ought to be aware of. If you need your glasses fast, they do have a ~$19 express shipping option that is supposed to get them to you in under 10 days.

I had a friend that I stayed abroad with and she would wear different glasses with her outfits. I asked her how she had a million dollars for all those glasses and she said that she was using Zenni. I had eye insurance through my employer but it covered one single glasses. I already have glasses but I wanted prescription sunglasses so I decided to use Zenni for that. Ordering online was very easy but I don't do it very often and only for some friends and family members. The latest order I had was a pair of sunglasses with a cat eye frame. It was cute and big and would block more sun things. I also got the anti-reflective coating so that I don't see my eye reflected in it. A lot of other ones are usually more expensive so I got that slapped on. Overall, it's very reasonable with good quality so I splurged on it. It was a very convenient, high quality and inexpensive experience with Zenni.

Zenni Optical has really great pricing and a wide selection but that comes at a cost. I ordered two pairs of glasses and they never came. My package was marked as shipped and delivered yet nothing. The company gave me the runaround for a week (the allotted time since I paid for express shipping) and eventually said that I took too long to receive a refund. This was outrageous because I called them the day of said delivery and they said they couldn't do anything until Friday. Once Friday came I called immediately after UPS business hours ended and they told me to call next Tuesday. Tuesday came and the best they could do was reship the order.
I had to request that UPS confirm delivery with a signature on the next visit alone to avoid this same situation. Ultimately I went two weeks with no glasses because this company couldn't keep track of a package they shipped. I wouldn't do business with them again if it is a matter of needing quick glasses. If you have time to sit around and wait for your ability to see then by all means buy with them. If not, you're better off spending the average $150-200 on two pairs and getting them next day at a local place.

I bought from Zenni Optical because of their price. I got the rimless glasses the first time, then a pair that has the bar across the top, and sunglasses that have a full rim. My first order was perfect. However, when I ordered three pairs two years later, all three were wrong. Their customer service was very nice, though. They let me pick different frames and got them right out to me. Zenni gave me 100% store credit and since I wanted more glasses anyway, I didn’t want my money back. Overall, the glasses are fabulous and the best ever. Whenever anybody talks about glasses, I say, “Zenni Optical, man. Go to the ophthalmologist, get your script, and don’t forget your PB.”

Glasses for 1/4 the cost! Pros: Get a good pair of glasses with great lenses at a very affordable price. Cons: You don't get to try them on and see how they fit first. They aren't fitted to your face by a professional. The lenses are fantastic but the frames aren't going to last you forever. One of the screws has come out twice, there's a little finish coming off the inside of the right temple and that same temple is a little wobbly even though it's tight in the frame. I haven't subjected the glasses to abnormal wear or tear. I think they cost less than $10 and another $85 for the lenses. No scratches on the lens whatsoever. My optometrist was going to charge me over $500 for a pair of some fancy plastic frames and high index lenses with anti-glare and UV protection. With my very good insurance, I was going to have to pay 40% of that $500+. It's worth the minor inconveniences given the price.

I have ordered from Zenni for my wife 3 times, her mother twice and a niece once. Every order has been correct and the glasses were exactly as ordered and much less expensive than otherwise available at conventional stores. One word of caution, when you get a new prescription from an eye specialist, compare it to the other ones that you may have had in the past. Zenni makes what you order (mistakes can happen). But I found obviously wrong prescriptions two times out of 6 by the eye specialists. Also, you must take care to ensure that the prescription is input correctly. If you screw up, that is your mistake. Zenni did ask on the initial orders for each, that I scan and send the prescription to ensure that there was no mistake and I appreciate that caring about accuracy.

I like Zenni Optical's price. In between my wife and my kids, I've bought 30 to 40 pairs of glasses from them. And, I just ordered recently a pair of black-grey plastic frame with blue lens sunglasses but I haven't gotten them yet. I liked the way their arms were. I do a lot of gardening at home and the arms look like they won't just slip right off my head when I'm sweating. And then when I was searching for the sunglasses, I was looking at another pair but then this particular one popped up that others recommended. So, I chose that.
My prescription is already saved on there. But generally, I'll search in the men's and then I'll select a frame that I like. And then, if I get any discounts, because sometimes I'll get emails, I'll put that in there and then order my glasses. I get an updated email right after I order. And then once the frame is about to ship, I get another email. So, that's what I'm waiting for now. Depending on what selections I pick, which generally is a standard one, it takes about three weeks from start to finish. Overall, they can't beat them for the price and the quality of the item. In fact, I've recommended a lot of people from my Church to check them out.

I'm with Regional Assistance and a lot of the girls there had started buying some glasses at Zenni and they told me about it. After I uploaded my photo, I started clicking on different glasses that I liked which puts them in a queue for me and so the website saves my favorites. Then, once I've tried them on my face and I like how they look, I just put them in a cart and I go order them. I type my prescription in, which is really easy because it's labeled exactly like a prescription from a doctor's label, and I go from there. The last ones I bought are black and I went with something simple, something I can throw on with anything I wear. I like them and I've told people about it, so I've got other people ordering off of Zenni now, too. It's very affordable for anybody. Plus the quality has been fantastic.

I ordered 3 pairs of glasses a year ago and only ended up keeping one pair. You can't beat the price, but glasses that make your eyes hurt are hardly worth even $10. I tried one pair a couple times and they always made my eyes hurt after a few hours and gave me a headache. I double checked my order and I had listed the right prescription, but they must have used something else as they definitely bothered me, unlike my other glasses. I contacted the company but they said they couldn't do anything outside of the one month warranty. They wouldn't even verify the prescription, which I was willing to settle for.

I found Zenni online years ago. They happened to have the style that I was looking for at the time, and I've been using them for years ever since. When we first started, the one thing that I remember was the distance between the pupils, which most prescriptions do not put down because they're trying to sell you the glasses. Once we got our first prescription, they gave us the little measuring device that sits on the bridge of our nose, and it was very easy to figure it out after that. Everything we ever got was exactly what we wanted and we've never had a problem with anything. I've given a couple of people on my staff the website, and I know that they have bought also and have been happy with the results of what they got.

My husband was happy with what he had gotten from Zenni so I chose them. The first time, I wasn't overly happy with the glasses because the screws were always coming undone so I've had to replace the screws numerous times. It's the frame-less kind that doesn't have a frame on it, and that was what the problem was because all that holds it is the wire pieces in between and the ear pieces. If it came the littlest bit loose, it was not right on my face and it would just move around. I called Zenni and complained to them and they said that there wasn't anything they could do except send me a new set of screws, which is what I ended up getting and what I've been using. I had just gotten a pair recently and those glasses are fine. I just can't wear them because I just got diagnosed with diabetes and my eyes changed so they don't work for me anymore. But the frames were beautiful and Zenni definitely has a good selection.

I ordered glasses with progressive lenses back in October. I spent a month trying to get used to them as recommended. Finally went to have them checked at optometrist (who first wanted to charge me $65.00 to have my eyes re-checked) and they are SINGLE VISION and even that is the wrong prescription! Called Zenni and they said they were out of warranty. You only have 30 days to figure out what their QA department won't, so don't assume it's your eyes, assume it's them.

Zenni Optical was my mother-in-law's recommendation and I went with them because of their price. I've placed several orders and the last one was months ago. I got a variety of glasses including some daily wear glasses, a pair of transition lenses, and a pair of sunglasses. I went through some of the glasses that I had owned previously and found dimensions and shapes that were similar to what I know I like. Zenni has an amazing selection of frames and a very easy ordering process. I first selected the glasses I want, put them on a wish list, and then put the ones I decided to purchase into the cart. I then uploaded my prescription from my eye doctor before checking out. I love that I can have a variety of glasses and I'm very satisfied with my experience with Zenni.

I ordered a pair of glasses through Zenni that were listed as being a tortoise shell color. I got them last night and when I opened up the box, I saw PURPLE all over my supposed tortoise shell frames. When I contacted them to complain, they said the glasses are stated as having purple flecks in them. I can tell you that if I had seen that description, there is no way I would've bought those frames. In any case, purple flecks is not what I got. I got frames that were so mismatched color-wise that I won't wear them. There's purple all over a tortoise shell color. No flecks. It's everywhere. They said they will refund half of my purchase price, which I think stinks. Way to stand behind your product, Zenni. Clearly it's not about the satisfaction of your customer. Half of a refund? Purple and tortoise shell color? Awful, awful, awful. I will never do business with them again. Buyer beware.
Hi Jill!
We're so sorry to hear about your glasses! We offer this pair in three options: black, brown tortoiseshell with purple flecks, and classic tortoiseshell. We'd be happy to issue you a 100% store credit to reorder with the classic tortoiseshell instead of our patterned brown tortoiseshell with purple flecks.
Please feel free to send us a private message if you'd like to discuss this further.
Thank you!

The ordering process at Zenni was very simple and straightforward. The only problem was the anti-reflective coating option. On the first screen, it offers the one that is about $15 and it has the special blue-like coating. On the next page was a regular anti-reflective coating for just $5. With my first pair, I got the $15 anti-reflective coating before I realized that I could have gotten the basic anti-reflective coating for just $5 on the next page over. That was a learning curve of ordering, but other than that, it was all very clear.

Going with Zenni Optical is a quick and inexpensive way to get glasses.

I've ordered around 10 pairs of glasses from Zenni. The first 7 pairs were fine enough and left me satistfied but my past three pairs I cannot even wear. I enjoy wearing larger frames glasses, but Zenni has made that impossible. Their lab technicians put the optical center of the prescription too low on a large frame and make it impossible to see. As we all know, thick rimmed frames sit on your face in a manner in which you look out the top 1/3 of glass and the bottom 2/3 is mostly below eye level in the upper cheek area. Unfortunately, all three pairs of large/thick framed glasses I have ordered did not account for this. The optical center is in the center in the lens, so that even if I had the frames pushed as high onto my nose as they could possibly go, they still don't have a clear vision through them.
Worse than their inability to account for how thick framed glasses are worn, is their customer service. Both times I have spoken to the Customer Service after a 20+ minute wait. They blamed me for incorrectly measuring pupil distance and offered a 50% return. If you order a pair of jeans and they were manufactured without leg holes, surely the jean manufacturer would accept their fault. In this case with glasses, Zenni fails to see that they need more testing of frames for optical centers prior to releasing them. Now I am $160 in the hole for three pieces of glasses I simply cannot wear. What a shame. Zenni, improve your customer service and your eyeglass design.

I found all the measurements listed on the website to be very helpful because I was able to find a pair of glasses that actually fit my face. I got a tiny head, so it’s hard for me. Sometimes I have to go with child’s glasses. But it was really easy for me to find a pair that would fit my face because of all the measurements. It was my first time ordering glasses online ever and I have no complaints. I put in two orders and emailed customer service and asked if my orders could be shipped together so I could be refunded one of the fees. I promptly received a response back that said that it would be no problem and I would see my refund for the second shipping cost in a couple of days.

The lenses of the first ones I bought were made incorrectly and the Zenni reps said I'd have to send them back. Supposedly they're my prescription, but I don’t see well so I bought another pair that looked different. I asked to speak to a manager because the second ones were also made incorrectly. I paid extra money for the lenses of the second ones to be thin and I called because there's no way that they made them thin. The glasses are very heavy and the lenses are thicker than the frames.
I told them, “These first ones I bought I don’t see well with. The second ones I can see better with but the lenses are yellow.” The Zenni manager said “That’s a known defect so send a picture and if we can see that then we’ll remake them.” I said I couldn't send them back because I need them to see, and they said “We can't remake them for you unless you send them to us.” So my experience hasn’t been completely great. They're not that expensive, but they're heavier than they need to be on the face and I don’t really know what I'm going to get from them.

I bought glasses for my 3 year old son. The fit was fine and he wore them at bedtime when we read to him. Within a month and a half there appeared fine scratches on the surface of both lens, in the same area. Placing them lens down seemed to have scratched the raised / curved area of the lens. I called to ask for help and was told that the "anti-scratch" surface treatment could not be 100% effective. There is nothing on the website indicating that ahead of time. Perhaps Zenni works well for adult glasses, but children's glasses should come with better safeguards. It was a waste of $50 (more expensive due to strong prescription). The pair that we bought at the eye doctors ($225) have not scratched yet. I would warn others - avoid spending money at Zenni's on children's glasses.

I went to a store first, thinking I'd like to try on my glasses first. They wanted to charge me $600+ for a pair of standard, single lens glasses. I left and googled, and found Zenni. Reviews were mixed about this service, but I took a chance. I paid less than $40 for a pair of glasses, and they are great. They're exactly what I ordered, they're the correct prescription, and shipping time was less than what they said it would be.
There is ONE loose screw that won't tighten, but that's a free fix at a Walmart eye center. No big deal, especially for the price I paid. If you're looking for quality vs. price, Zenni is exceptional. They are a foreign company, so the customer service is going to lack if there is a problem. They will, however, do exchanges within the allotted time frame if you're unhappy with their purchase. Their terms clearly outline their return policies, so people complaining about that should've just read before they clicked. All in all, I'm pleased with my purchase. For $40, even if they'd been sub-par, I would've been pleased.

I went with Zenni Optical because of the price of their glasses. I saw an ad that said they had $6.95 glasses and it piqued my interest so I looked it up on Google. Then I decided to go for it if they had $7 or $9 glasses and see if they're legit. If my dog again grabs and eats my glasses, I won't feel bad replacing them because my first pair that my dog ate the first day I had them cost me $20. So it was worth a shot since it was not that big of an investment. It was worth a little more than a pair of reading glasses at Marshall's but they're good. The frame feels decent. They're cute, stylish, and not heavy. When I had a question about measuring the pupillary distance, I chatted with Zenni online and it went fine.
I recently bought three more pairs and I wouldn't have done that if they were Parker or Classic Specs. The Classic Specs were $89. I also bought an inexpensive one from another place, but I wasn't sure if my order was going to go through or if they were going to ship them, as opposed to Zenni which I found to be legit. They told me what they were going to do and I got the glasses at the time that they said they would.

For a start up company to not eat the 30 dollars the glasses cost less than 4 months ago, and offer zero replacement other than telling the customer to pay the entire cost of a new pair is atrocious.

Purchased a pair of eyeglasses from this site less than six months ago. The frames have been gradually coming apart at the joints for a while. A couple weeks ago, one rear piece fell off entirely. Though there is a fake screw head at the attachment point, the attachment mechanism is not a screw--it's some sort of pivoting tab. I've never seen anything like it. Two jewelers I took the glasses to said they couldn't repair them. They weren't repairable. I called Zenni, hoping they at least were capable of repairing their own product. I was jerked around--they said they'd call back, but I had to call back (days later) only to be told that the best they could do was to sell me the same frames at half off. How is asking me for more money a solution to this problem? Losers.

First off, I'd like to preface this with the fact that I have never broken or had a pair of glasses frames broken on me ever. I'm a photographer by profession, so keeping my glasses in perfect shape is important to me. I treat them gingerly, place them in their case when they're off, and never leave them out in a spot where they'd get damage. So imagine my surprise tonight when I adjusted my glasses, from Zenni, on my face and the right part of the frame crumbled like (as my wife stated) a cookie. It just gave way. Obviously there was some structural defect within that caused this, so I figured it'd be easy to get a replacement. To my dismay, I was told that since I was past their 30 day return period, I was unable to get a replacement without purchasing it.
Sure, I'd be given 50% off the final price but that doesn't change the fact that I had obviously been provided an inferior product and that it was not at all my fault that they happened to rapidly disassemble. I'm not going to be ordering from here in the future. I'm not going to be suggesting them to friends, family, and random internet people as I had in the past. At this point, I'd rather pay full price elsewhere than accept their offer. If stuff works for you, great, but they do not stand behind their product, regardless of how defective it may be. I'm just glad they didn't decide to pop apart while I was driving or something.
So sorry to hear about your glasses. We've reviewed your order and found that a replacement frame was sent to your home at no charge. According to our records, it was delivered as of Oct. 31st. If you have further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us. Thank you!

My autistic daughter breaks glasses like five times a year. Zenni Optical's glasses are inexpensive so I'm not spending hundreds of dollars on a pair of glasses for her to break them in a month. The most recent order was for my son. He had convinced his entire school that he needed glasses and when we took him to the eye doctor, they said he doesn't need glasses. It came out that he feels so left out that the whole family has glasses and he doesn’t so we decided we would get him a fashion pair to help him feel a little bit more part of the family. Being able to find inexpensive and good quality glasses is very nice, and I do it through Zenni's website which is really easy to use.
The most difficult part in getting a pair of glasses is finding the PD part of their prescription because even the eye doctor doesn't really give that as part of the prescription. Measuring the PD myself is not always accurate so my kids and I would go to an in-person retailer and ask them to measure. Other than that, it's a great service provided for anybody. Zenni's glasses are of great quality and price and ordering online is very easy.

Customer service has been alright, and the lady ordered it online for me. Next time I’ll get a better frame for the price that I order them. Then I could go up in the place, pick them up, and it’s good.

I've purchased from a couple of different sites and the one I got from Zenni Optical had a frame that I liked quite a bit and it had a big frame. I've reordered from them a few times and my orders came very quickly, and I'm always very satisfied. The online ordering process was extremely simple too. I just enter the prescription and typical billing and shipping information. I have worn their glasses essentially every day for the past five years so I'm quite satisfied with them.

I have ordered quite a lot of eyewear such as sunglasses and transition lens for me and my son from Zenni Optical. I have done it online pretty much and it's easy. The only thing is they do not suggest the right kind of glasses based on pupil distance. Other than that, my transactions with them has always been smooth.

My sister told me about Zenni. The prices were pretty nice, but mainly, the magnetic sunshades caught my attention at a relatively low price. The first time I ordered glasses, I entered my prescription wrong, so I got my glasses and they were bad. So, I contacted the customer service and they told me how I can return the glasses. Then, one of their rep told me what numbers I needed to put so the prescription could work. It looked silly and then she sent me an email with instructions on how to return glasses. Then, I got my next pair, they were perfect and better than any ridiculously expensive glasses I've ever had even though they're pretty cheap in material.
I was going hiking in the Grand Canyon and needed to have my sunglasses on my glasses together. The full-rimmed glasses worked out, I have never lost my sunshades and been hiking quite a bit. Zenni has been great; I was telling my roommate yesterday that she should get Zenni glasses because mine are great, and she placed an order for glasses from them.

I got a new prescription glasses from my eye care provider and then decided to buy another from Zenni Optical since I wanted to try a different set of frames but wasn’t willing to commit to an expensive price. It's $30 at Zenni's so I tried it out and glad I did. I ordered online and the process was easy. I wasn’t really sure about the quality at first before I ordered and when I got the glasses, I was very impressed. I have them for two months now and I wear them more than I do the prescription that I bought at the eye doctors’. They're worth it. I’ve recommended Zenni Optical to a couple people.

I like Zenni Optical's setup on how they take a picture of the face, then line up the pupils. I thought it'd make it more accurate for the glasses. I like that and I like its price too. I have two pairs of glasses. One of them was readers’, which I like, and then I decided to order another pair. However, I put in the wrong information. I appreciate that they were prompt. So, when I got the first pair that I ordered wrongly, they were good at responding through e-mail on what I should do and how I could return them. I had them put in the correct prescription and got the next other glasses and I'm currently wearing them.
I wanted another glass that had the more tortoise shell look and so when I reordered the first pair that I ordered with wrong prescription, it was a similar pair. I like how it looked on my face. They have progressive lenses and they’re really lightweight which is what I wanted. I've had them for four months now. The ordering process was really easy. I felt like it was a fair price and the frames are good. I know there are some people who really like certain kinds of lenses and protection, and all of that was offered on the Zenni website but I chose to go the middle ground because my prescription has been changing a lot. So, for me to go in every year and pay $400 for a pair of glasses, I couldn’t do that. Overall, It was a good experience. They have good customer service and good product. I would recommend it to other people for a good fair price in eyewear. I thought their website was also very user-friendly.

I ordered the thinnest lens possible, 1.74 high index, and after 3 weeks waiting, it came much thicker than my regular lens from an old pair of eyeglasses that were 4 years old that had even stronger prescription than this new one. I had to pay to have it shipped back to them for "inspection" which turns out to be denial on their part of anything wrong with their product. I guess their lens is substandard and misrepresented when they use the same index rating as with other companies. They gave me two options, either get full store credit and order a different pair of the same substandard lenses, or get only 50% refund. That's a big loss on my part. So I ordered a different pair with smaller frame, with the hope that it won't be as thick as the first one.
After 2 weeks of waiting checking their online status, they showed that this pair failed their Quality Control 6 times and they had to remake them. Now it's getting into the third week after the second pair was ordered, I am still waiting for the lousy pair of eyeglasses to be mailed out. Buyer beware, spend your money wisely and buy somewhere else!

I wish I knew about Zenni Optical earlier than now. I’ve been wearing glasses since I was nine and I wish I knew when they came into inception so my life would have been a lot easier. I was complaining about a pair of expensive glasses that I had on since there was something wrong with the lens like they were spotted and it was affecting my vision. When I told my colleague the price, he told me about Zenni Optical and then it so happens that I saw their commercial on TV later on that evening. So I said, “Somebody up there wants you to pay attention to Zenni Optical.”
I told my optometrist that I was gonna try Zenni and she said fine. I asked to have the pupillary distance put on there. I went online and put in the prescription. I usually get darker, heavy rimmed frames, but I decided to try something different. So I got glasses with wire on the sides but rimless around the lens and they’re a perfect fit. I’ve not had to call customer service for anything and the online ordering process was very easy. I don’t know if I have the option of trying to upload a picture of myself to put the glasses on so if I have more time, I’ll try that but it was fine. I’m now getting ready to order more to have other pairs of glasses because the price is so ridiculously reasonable. My glasses cost a little bit more because I need the lenses shrunk since my vision, uncorrected, is 20/400, but it’s still much less than what I was paying. I love it. My glasses have great vision, I’ve had no problems with my lenses, and I’m good.

I feel the other company seem to take advantage of the consumer, and since I got my prescription updated, I was more compelled because of the price factor and Zenni seemed very decent quality especially for the price. The online ordering process was easy enough especially Zenni has my prescription in there. Plus, I was impressed with the update on where the location was with shipping tracking. I got two pairs of plastic rim wayfarer, I'm wearing the one pair right now, and then, the other pair was a novelty with yellow lenses. These styles fit my face better. The glasses are affordable, I was about to order another pair the next week from Zenni.

I was an early user of Zenni and their glasses were good value. About 18 months ago I had to return a pair that broke and had dramas even getting a reply and although they were within their "warranty" period they only offered me a 50% discount on another pair. Recently I had to get glasses at very short notice and bought 3 pairs from Zenni. The first pair; the arm fell off within 2 weeks. I returned the spectacles to Zenni for repair and refund of postage. They sent me a bag of screws and plastic washers and no instructions of what to do with them... BUT didn't return my glasses. I emailed them asking for instructions and my glasses. They arrived this week still broken.
Second pair, arm fell off after 3 weeks. Zenni now want photos and grandma's inside leg measurements presumably. 3rd pair, arms are coming loose already. OK, I'd say Zenni have gone the distance, they were good and are now selling very cheap and nasty glasses which when you consider the longevity of them are no longer any kind of value for money. I'd say BUYER BEWARE. Their "warranty" is no longer being honored and you are really wasting your money with these people.
We're so sorry to hear about your experience. Unfortunately, our warranty for our glasses is 30 days from the date that they are delivered. For orders that are outside our warranty, we offer 50% off frame only products.

Since we don't offer a repair service, we ask our customers to switch the lenses into the replacement frame once they receive it.

I love, love, love my glasses that I got from Zenni. Beautiful and very affordable for this senior citizen who has no visual health coverage. BUT, my husband's experience was completely the opposite. Within the first day of wearing his new glasses, a screw fell out and so did one lens. He repaired the glasses by using a different screw to secure the lens to the frame, and the very next day, 2 days after receiving the glasses, the other screw on the other lens fell out and that lens also fell out. So he requested a repair from Zenni.
They sent him a replacement frame that contained plain lens and a handy-dandy screw driver to help with the removal of the plain lenses and replacement of his prescription lenses. You'd think great, right? Wrong, the screws in the new frames became stripped immediately and so the new frames are also a complete failure. I really wanted to get a new pair of sunglasses from Zenni, but how can I with such horrible customer service. Come on guys! Zenni, you offer a great service. When the products you sell are inferior, bite the bullet and replace or refund. Think about maintaining great customer satisfaction. That's priceless.

I've been with Zenni Optical since 2006 and I get a variety of sunglasses, regular glasses, and some different styles of frames from them. They have basically taken the whole shebang in one pair of glasses and I’m always able to order several pairs. The frames are very comparable to any other people I see out there in the world and when I see a pair online, I know that the worst that they could hit me up for is like $35. I talked to their customer service and asked about when I could get my glasses because I get anxious but then I never had any issues.
Also, the online ordering process was easy. However, it starts becoming an onus to get through the prescription. I would double check if I get the prescription right when I put it in. It would be awesome if the doctor could fax the prescription over, then I wouldn’t have to worry that I messed up. But it’s good and you gotta tell them what they’re gonna make. It's affordable, easy, and fun. I recommended it to my friend and talked to her yesterday to see if she got her glasses yet.

I ordered 2 pairs of progressive lens bifocals from Zenni Opitcal in June. One of my pairs was very heavy and the lenses were very thick and stuck out beyond the frame. The other pair was much lighter and did not stick out beyond the frame. Both pairs were ordered on the same day, with the same prescription and with the same type of lenses. The first pair I describe above was significantly different than the other pair. However, I really liked the frames (and really liked the clip on sunglasses) and I proceeded to wear them. The lenses became scratched very badly and the frames became so loose that they were constantly slipping down my face.
I have worn glasses for many years and I have never had a pair of glasses so poorly made from a website. Something is wrong with the lenses. As I said above, they are so thick and heavy they almost seem like glass lenses instead of polycarbonate like I ordered, and like my other pair is. And the scratches on them render them useless to me.
I attempted to reach a customer service person in the "live chat" section of their website, which was not in fact live. I explained my situation and I received a very curt and rude email stating that my glasses were no longer covered by the return policy and that I was welcome to order another pair. I just spent $120 on these in June. I expect my glasses to last 2 years at the least. I am very unhappy with the service and the quality of these glasses. Which is too bad because I get lots of compliments on the frames and wish I would feel more comfortable recommending Zenni.

I would encourage anyone considering purchasing from Zenni to purchase with caution. I purchased five pairs of glasses and every pair, except one, gives me severe headaches almost instantly. I am assuming they were made with the wrong prescription. As I have seen from other reviews, they frequently are manufactured incorrectly and I am assuming that is what happened to me 4/5 times or 80% of the time. That is not a very strong ratio and certainly not a very strong product. Like I said, purchase with caution. I know there are other, more sterling providers out there that likely have better products.
So sorry to hear about your experience with us. Anytime an error is made, we always ensure that it is correct. After reviewing your order, we'd be happy to make an exception and have you return your glasses so we may inspect them for any errors on our part, although they are out of warranty.

I have bought glasses from Zenni in the past when they were the "cheapie" on the block. Only had one incident when they refused to take back a defective product. My last pair ordered about a year ago, suffered a break in the earpiece when I tried to adjust it for comfort. Unheard of!!! Crap plastic. I had a similar pair previously and attempted to replace the temple/earpiece. They have an internal spring/detent which is superfluous except for making it impossible to replace the t/e_piece without special tools.
I have repaired watches, glasses, jewelry with precision equipment designed for these, but am presently not at home. Frustrating to know you have what you need to do it but it's not there. I did get the new t/e_piece on by removing some superfluous metal at the hinge, and it worked but wobbled. This experience notwithstanding, I went back to Zenni, did all the ordering for their basic $12.95 glasses which totaled up to ~ $28, to which they added an unexplained $18, almost $50 total with shipping. I got the glasses from $39 glasses for about $5 less. Enough of this sleazy double-talk. I'm certain this un-reuseable t/e_piece with cheap plastic is just to make repair next to impossible.

I normally buy through LensCrafters but they were getting increasingly pricey. I really didn't know anything about ordering glasses but when I went to Zenni's website, it showed the information that I needed. So I went back to the LensCrafters store where I normally go and get my glasses and asked them for the information, which they gave me. I took a little bit of playing around on the website just to make sure Zenni is answering the right dimensions and information. But at that price that I paid, it seemed to be worth the risk.
I got the full rim and the frame fit very well - which was surprising how good it fit. The lenses were okay, but the only problem is the quality of the lens. They get a little foggy. There's like a film on them sometimes right in the line of vision. And you have to clean them with a nylon or polyester cloth, but a cheese cloth really works better. Their website is pretty helpful because most people don't have all of that information available to them. So I printed out the available information online, and took it down to LensCrafters. They looked me up in their system and gave me the information I needed. And then I went back home, plugged the information back in to the site and pressed "order now".
To put in perspective, anytime you order anything which is kind of medically related, you're always apprehensive that you're throwing money away because there's nobody standing in front of me. I could afford to lose 40 bucks, but the average person might run away from that because they can go to the pharmacy and buy those $12 glasses. But overall, I think the experience was good. The case was a little cheap though. The case that came in was a little less than desirable but the glasses were great. I will definitely do it again.

When it comes to serious matter, that would hurt their business they'll just ignore your review and you'll never see it posted. I verified this myself. So when you shop at Zenni, just ignore all those wonderful comments and use your judgement and common sense, and don't forget if it's too cheap to be true... it's not. You'll get what you paid for and you might end up with a USD 149 useless pair of glasses like I did.
Sorry to hear you feel this way. We're always willing to work with our customers to ensure their satisfaction. We've reviewed your order, and found that a return authorization number was issued for an inspection.
If the inspection results show that your glasses were made incorrectly, we'd be happy to remake them.
Once we receive your order back at our facility, we'll email you the results as soon as they're available.
If you have further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.
Thank you.

My mom had told me about Zenni Optical from a friend who is using it for her kids. I have five kids and my husband and I both wear glasses, so it's cheaper to go with them than others. My husband and I usually do a full rim and as for our kids, we usually do the full rims as well, but also half rims sometimes. We've been customers for about two years and it was our second time to order. Everything is easy and convenient. One of the things that I liked a lot was being able to choose the specific sizes as far as the width of the lens because I like to get a smaller size glasses. And right now, the style is the big one so I didn't wanna have to sort through all of that. I was able to plug in the height of the lens. And that made my ordering a lot easier.
The only thing that occasionally is problematic, is when I'm uploading a picture for the eyewear and sometimes the picture uploads smaller. But usually, if I just keep re-uploading the picture, it will eventually come to the right size where the glasses looks appropriate for the face. Other than that, everything works really well.

I was excited to try Zenni as I live on Social Security. I have had such a horrible experience. Customer service manager James was rude and upsetting. I wear bifocal progressives. It cost me more than $100 and $22.30 in shipping back and forth 3 times. How is it so hard to get both lenses the same. Very poor quality 3 times. I was told that their mistake was my mistake and I would only get a 50% refund. Horrible service, policies, and workmanship. I will never order from them again. You shouldn't either.
We're very sorry to learn that that your experience with James, one of our Customer Service Managers, was less than adequate. We've reviewed your order and found that the first two orders you placed with us had the wrong prescription entered. As an exception, we authorized a second return for a store credit to reorder with the correct prescription. Unfortunately, the last order was made incorrectly, which is a rare occurrence but we take full responsibility for it and refunded your credit card as of 9/9, per your request.
Please feel free to contact us if you have further questions or concerns.
Thank you!

DO NOT ORDER FROM ZENNI! Zenni Optical is a super sketchy business from my experience. I ordered 2 pairs of sunglasses, both 80% grey, one with mirror coat and one without. When I received my order, both pairs looked blue, not grey. I compared the 2 pairs to an 80% grey sunglasses (also mirror coated) I ordered from Zenni in a previous order. The 2 new pairs I got were obviously blue tint, not grey. I returned to 2 blue pairs back to Zenni for inspection.
When Zenni emailed back, they said that the order was correct and that the tints on the 2 pairs of sunglasses looks blue because of the mirror coat, which is complete ** because both pairs look equally blue and only 1 pair had a mirror coat. Plus, my old Zenni sunglasses were grey tint with mirror coat, and it doesn't look blue like the 2 new pairs I got. I think Zenni is full of crap. They will not own up to their mistakes and they don't care about their customers. AVOID ZENNI! There are plenty of other websites you can buy from.
So sorry to hear about your experience. We've reinspected your glasses and found them to be incorrect. We're so sorry for this inconvenience.
At this time your new order is in the process of being manufactured. We'll email you tracking information once it's available.
Please feel free to contact us if you have further questions or concerns.

Ordered two pairs progressive vision and arrived perfect! I'm in Puerto Rico and saw a lady at the pharmacy and asked her about her nice lenses. She introduced me to Zenni Optical, glad she did and I ordered with no problem. Only two days using the lenses but happy with them. Will continue patronizing the site.

A friend that have used Zenni Optical told us about them. It was their cost that made us choose them and we ended up purchasing full rim glasses for my daughter. She thought it was cute in the picture. We purchased online which was easy for her because she's computer savvy. She also helped my mother-in-law in purchasing her glasses and my mother-in-law's real happy with them. It was an awesome experience and we would definitely use them again for my daughter.

When ordering sports goggles for my son, a customer service rep (CSR) helped me out over the phone. She was extremely helpful and I thought her service would mean exceptional service and products going forward. A couple weeks after placing the order, the goggles arrived but the prescription was wrong. I called customer service and got connected to a very, VERY unhelpful and uncooperative individual. The CSR would ignore what I said and would constantly repeat herself. It was like she was reading off a script rather than trying to work with a customer who was trying to work with the company... After all, we both felt we were in the right so we both should be able to make concessions. If it wasn't for the first CSR experience, I would have given less stars. She did an outstanding job and I don't want to discredit her efforts.
We're so sorry to learn that your experience with one of our customer service representatives was less than adequate.
We've reviewed your order and found that a return authorization number was issued for a 100% store credit to reorder, as it seems like the wrong prescription was entered. If you believe this was a mistake, please feel free to send us a copy of your prescription via message and we'd be happy to look into it.

I was in need of some glasses after I lost mine, and looking for a cheap replacement. A friend of mine recommended Zenni Optical. I looked at their website, and was surprised that they were inexpensive but not necessarily cheap. I got a full rim plastic glasses from them which I've been wearing it for five months. I took a long trip recently and forgot to bring glasses, and figured the best solution was to just order some new ones from Zenni Optical. I ordered some new ones four weeks ago. The online ordering process was very easy.
I've only been wearing glasses for a little over a year now, and I was glad that I pull up my doctor's prescription with all the information there, just typed it in and got what I needed. I was having some technical issues with the website using my Chrome browser and had to use Firefox. If I click on example glasses so I can see what they look like in bigger pictures, it was redirecting me to a dead link. I then opened it in Firefox and that fixed the issue. That was the only poor experience I've had, but in general, they have an awesome website. I'll continue to use it if I need more glasses. Zenni is a great solution for people looking for some affordable and stylish glasses with good quality. They're definitely not $500 glasses, and you get what you pay for.

Why sell an inferior product? You lied on the description of the frames with "strong stainless steel" a cold stick of butter is stronger! Nose pads fell off and hinge broke. I have been wearing glasses for all my life and never had the poor quality of these.

Zenni Optical has cheaper products like $6.95 for a pair of glasses or $4.95 for as many pairs as I want to order. The online ordering process is easy for the most part too. I generally do it off my phone. It's not as easy as it is on a computer but it's still not that hard. Shipping and handling is good as well. I've ordered multiple times from them and been one of their customers for three years now. I always recommend Zenni Optical. There was one time though that I contacted their customer service team because I got a pair of glasses with a lens that didn't fit right in the frame part but I opted not to pursue it or send it back in because it's too much of a hassle.

I would like to caution anyone considering using the online company, Zenni Optical, to purchase glasses. While their rates are reasonable, the quality of their product leave much to be desired. After just a few months, both of my lenses warped. When I addressed the issue with the company (without suggesting replacement or refund), Leo ** returned my message with a disclaimer that the 30 days had passed for refund or replacement. I will put my money in a direction that stands by their product from now on.
So sorry to hear about your glasses. We've issued a return authorization number for an inspection on August 23. At this time, we are awaiting for your order to arrive at our facility to be inspected.
If our inspections finds that your glasses were made incorrectly or defective, we'd be happy to remake them.

My sister-in-law recommended Zenni Optical and I've been a customer for at least 2 years now. Their prices are wonderful. I got full-rim glasses from them and have had it for about six months. Everything’s been fine with their customer service and the online ordering process has been easy. I’m very satisfied. It's been a great experience.
