    I own 4 different pairs of Zenni's and every single order has been smooth. Their product is very sturdy, stylish yet super affordable. The glasses almost always ship out within 10-12 days when I've selected standard shipping. The only place for improvement is the add-on selection. It can be a little confusing which options would be for sunglasses vs. reading glasses. It seems some options are mutually exclusive and that is not clear while making the selection sequentially. Returns are smooth as well. Will continue to use Zenni. 4.7/5

    In women's frames, more choices. My wife and I have ordered many glasses over the years. Maybe the tint in sunglasses could be darker. My sister lives in Canada and has Zenni. Her doctor was impressed with her $100 or so glasses. The doctor spent $700 on hers. Yes, we definitely look even more fabulous! We recommend Zenni with no hesitation.

    I am pleasantly surprised. These frames are really cute and the price is great. I now have a huge collection of glasses. I am at a stage where progressives are never quite the right focal distance so I use multiple pairs during the day depending on the task. For what I used to pay for one pair of single vision, I can have 5 pairs of progressives!!

    Hi, I love Zenni. I am a foster parent and supply eyeglasses for kids in my care, and even kids that have successfully returned home to their parents. Some of the kids we care for have never had glasses, some are teenagers, but many don't know how to care for them. They break them and lose them often. The warranty services at conventional optometrists do not work for us, and eventually, they stop helping us replace and fix their glasses. Zenni is the only way that I can keep these kids seeing. I currently supply glasses to three rowdy foster boys from ages 7 to 15. Two of them have left my home to return to live with their parents. When I find out that their glasses are broken or lost from their parents, I just order another pair from their record on Zenni.

    The conventional eyeglasses monopoly and Medicaid insurance expectations of only one pair of glasses and one replacement every two years is ridiculous for low-income and stressed families to deal with. Once a pair of glasses is lost, the child will just not see, because the family does not have the wherewithal to get them new glasses. Zenni helps that. I have seen kids get glasses and suddenly change from a bad student to a good student overnight!

    I love my Zenni glasses. What I also like about Zenni is the idea of being able to purchase the glasses direct and have it shipped to me at a lower cost. Everywhere I looked, it was more expensive. I also like the variety and the shopping experience is great. Being able to shop glasses for my kids, take picture of my kids and upload them and see what the glasses look like on them was awesome. I also get to have my kids' input. We look through what's availabel and I ask them what they like. Being able to purchase the glasses even in grades, clip-on shades and all the extras are great.

    I've puchased too many times from Zenni because I figured that since the cost is low, my sons can lose them, which they do. Although the glasses might not cost much, the value is high. The cost to value ratio is definitely in favor of the consumer. All in all, I like doing business with Zenni and I look forward to continue because I need to buy some glasses for myself. I've also recommended several times.

    I was real pleased with the darkening pair of glasses and regular blue bloc pair of glasses. The single vision pair are useless to me as I am near sighted and can see close. I need a pair of readers for when my contacts are in. The pair I received from Zenni are for close up vision but don’t work when I have my contacts in.

    It started as my mistake; I incorrectly ordered sunglasses instead of transition lenses. I realized my error upon receiving my glasses. When I contacted the agent he was very short and difficult to understand. I stated that I had a difficult time understanding him and he started speaking louder and copped an attitude. I feel that a compromise could have been suggested i.e. 20% off the next pair that I was going to order in the same style frame. Now the sunglasses are sent back and probably trashed. Possibly the frames could have been reused for my next order. Or again some kind of agreeable resolution. With a little tact and ingenuity I might have kept them.

    Response from Zenni Optical

    Hi, thank you for posting your Zenni review of the customer service you received when you contacted us to advise that you inadvertently ordered polarized sunglasses rather than eyeglasses with Transitions® photochromic lenses. We were sorry to learn that you ordered the wrong lens type, but we were extremely disheartened to read your description of the manner of the customer service representative with whom you spoke. Consequently, we profusely apologize for any dissatisfaction you experienced as a result. Moreover, we want you to know that we are forwarding your comments to the manager of the customer service team on which this individual works, so they can review our expectation that each of our employees always provides gracious, intelligible, accurate, and helpful customer service, a standard that we are appalled to know we did not uphold in this instance. Regarding your suggestion that your frame 7811939, which we see you selected again, be reused on your next order, we want to confirm that we cannot reuse frames customers return to us, under the guidelines of our regulator, the Food and Drug Administration. However, we donate returned glasses to the Lions Clubs for their program to provide prescription eyeglasses to people who cannot afford to buy them. Of course, we regret that your interaction with the representative was frustrating. We believe that, had it been more successful, it might have led to a possible result that you had a pair of polarized sunglasses that would have worked well for you, and an offer of a discount on your next order. Nevertheless, we are pleased to see that we refunded to your credit card the amount of store credit you received for returning these sunglasses after you placed the new order for eyeglasses with Transitions® photochromic lenses. We are happy to confirm that this order has been completed, and that you should have these glasses no later than early next week. In addition, insofar as you are a valued customer, we are sorry that no offer of a subsequent discount was offered, which we hope would have helped to ameliorate this situation. Accordingly, we are emailing you an item that we hope you will use on your next order with Zenni Optical. We trust that this matter is now resolved to your satisfaction.

    Hi, thank you for posting your Zenni review of the flexible plastic frame you selected, which we were sorry to learn displeased you. Consequently, we apologize for any disappointment you experienced as a result. You are within the 30-day warranty period on this order, which starts the day the glasses are delivered, so you may send the glasses back to us for 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 Optical account, or a 50 percent refund to the credit card you used to place the order. If you would like to pursue this option, and if you select the store credit, you may use it toward the purchase of a new pair of glasses in a frame you would prefer. You may learn about the frame material in the sections marked Details and Description under the enlarged picture of the frame on our website. We invite you to telephone Zenni Optical Customer Service, at 1-800-211-2105, and anyone who answers will be eager to assist you with instructions to return the glasses for the refund option you choose. We will also email you a prepaid shipping label you may use for return postage.

    Hi, thank you for posting your Zenni review of the glasses you received from us. We were sorry to learn that when you dropped your glasses a lens fell out and got chipped. Consequently, we apologize for any dissatisfaction you experienced as a result. Even though you posted your review past the 30-day warranty period on this order, we do not know whether you dropped your glasses within or outside the warranty period. Therefore, as a customer service gesture, we will make a one-time exception for you and remake your glasses for free. Since you mention that you are not happy with the blue-blocking feature on your lenses, we understand that you may not want the remake with Blokz lenses. We are going to tell our lab to remake the glasses, but to wait until they hear from you, advising whether you still want the Blokz lenses, or a different type of lens on your glasses. If you select just a standard, 1.50 index lens, which is free, we will refund the price of the Blokz lenses, $16.95, to the credit card you used to pay for the order. To advise of the lens type you want for your free remake, please telephone Zenni Optical Customer Service, at 1-800-211-2105, and anyone who answers will be eager to assist you.

    I ordered progressives, but the my optometrist said they weren't progressives. I explained this to the Zenni Customer rep and he admit that they ignored the distance part of the prescription since I picked a Zenni "made up progressive" type. It's false advertising to say something is progressive when it's not. Seeking a refund. Asking for reasonableness. Zenni should explain it's not really progressive in their advertising.

    Hi, thank you for posting your Zenni review about the glasses you received from us. We were sorry to read that you are displeased with these glasses and we apologize for any dissatisfaction you experienced as a result. As our customer service representative advised, the progressive glasses you ordered are near-range workspace progressives, which we clearly disclose on the website are for close up work, such as reading a book or using a computer. The three types of progressives we offer are clearly indicated as Standard Progressives, Mid-Range Workspace Progressives, and Near-Range Workspace Progressives, and we are sorry that you selected the Near-Range Workspace Progressives believing that they would be Standard Progressives. Nevertheless, even though you are outside the warranty period on this order, we will make a one-time customer service exception to allow you to send these glasses back to us for one of two refund options: either a 100 percent refund of the price of the glasses, minus the shipping fee, to your Zenni Optical account in the form of store credit, or a 50 percent refund to the credit card you used to pay for the glasses. If you choose the store credit, you can use this store credit toward the purchase of a new pair of Standard Progressives. We are eager to hear back from you, so that we may resolve this matter to your satisfaction.

    I am thrilled with my Zenni glasses. For too many years I purchased from a mall-based company and got no answers as to why they just pushed the most expensive lenses on me. 4 years ago I put down $350 for my specs, two years ago the price was double. Now I'm on a fixed income and I projected that a new pair of glasses would be over $1200. I spent a lot of time considering purchasing glasses from an internet based company worrying that the prescription would be off. I finally decided to jump in and purchase my new pair through Zenni. I am so glad I did!

    My new frames are lightweight and the prescription is perfect. If I were wearing glass lenses they'd be thick as a coke bottle so my eyes are very bad and I did worry, again, the glasses would be very expensive. I was shocked to learn that my pair would be less than $100! OMG! It took a little over 2 weeks to get them and I'm so glad I purchased from Zenni. Instant gratification isn't everything, I'll purchase from Zenni again and again. It's more than worth the wait.

    I have grown weary of paying exorbitant prices for glasses at the usual retail sites and thought Zenni was worth a try. I was a bit concerned about getting the fit right but armed with the measurements from my existing frames I ordered glasses with progressive lens along with sunglasses with single vision polarized lens. Frames fit very nicely and prescription seems spot-on. My only regret is that I didn't select a frame style that allowed for progressive lenses in the sunglasses. I'm not getting any younger and the eyes on fish hooks aren't getting any larger. My experience with Zenni has been nothing but positive.

    I've ordered 5 pairs of glasses from Zenni - I know, why order so many from an untrustworthy vendor. Well, I'm a glass half full guy and hate the entire process of getting glasses. I've gone the full gamut from private eye doctors to Costco and was never happy with any of them, mostly because of the hassle factor of repeat visits. Zenni seemed like the perfect solution, but it turned out it wasn't. Aside from no hassle, they have that part down, the final product is mostly unusable. The progressive lens don't focus on anything correctly, I need to be six inches from my computer to read it.

    Even my driving glasses, tinted, are built for a range of a foot to further out, but they never look right at any distance. I've decided to stick to professionals even though it is a PITA. I probably should have sent these back, but was insulted by the "50%" refund credit. WTF? Instead, I threw all five pair in the trash and decided I'd dedicate the rest of my live to bashing Zenni to any and all. I've already convinced at least twenty people to not use the service.

    I heard about Zenni 12 years ago and they were the first I've ever heard of online glasses. I've tried a variety of different styles with them being affordable. I don't wear my half rim ones as much but between full rim, plastic, metal and rimless, I have them all. The quality has been good and they immediately fixed the pair I had an issue with. I contacted customer service through email and it was extremely easy. They were transition lenses, and it was the transition piece that wasn't working. So, they sent out a whole brand-new pair and that was within a week. When I order glasses, it usually takes one or two weeks, which is quick. I have recommended Zenni to many people.

The blue-light blocking feature is not something that is readily discernible to a customer, the way a permanent or photochromic tint is, so we are unsure how you determined that these lenses do not block blue light. If you have an instrument that tests the blue-light blocking feature, and you tested the lenses with this instrument and found that the blue light was not blocked, please take a photograph of the lenses not blocking blue light, please email it to us and please put your order number in the subject line of the email. If you do not have such an instrument, we would be happy to accept the glasses back for an inspection. If our inspection, with our instrument that tests whether the lenses do block blue light, finds that these lenses are not blocking blue light, we can remake the glasses for you for free. We see seven previous orders placed by you, beginning in July 2017, none of which has blue-blocking lenses. In addition, there are no notes in the database records of any of these orders indicating that you had any issue with any of these pairs of glasses, so we are especially sorry that you are unhappy with these glasses, and we are eager to rectify this situation for you. Therefore, if you would like to return these glasses for an inspection, or for one of our two refund options – either a 100 percent refund of the price of the glasses in the form of store credit to your Zenni Optical account, or a 50 percent refund to your PayPal account – please telephone Zenni Optical Customer Service, at 1-800-211-2105, and anyone who answers will be eager to assist you. If the wait to speak with a customer service representative is lengthy, you may have an online Chat with us (the Chat feature is located toward the bottom of the right-hand side of every Zenni Optical page), or email us at the aforementioned email address. We very much hope to hear back from you so that we may resolve this matter to your satisfaction. In addition, as an extra measure of apology and a token of our appreciation for your business, we are emailing you an item we hope you will use on your next order with Zenni Optical.

    Hi, thank you for posting your Zenni review of the glasses you received from us, which we were sorry to learn did not work for you. As we advised in our response to your Trustpilot review, we will inspect the glasses again. Insofar as the pupillary distance (PD) is not listed on the prescription you provided, we would be grateful for confirmation that the PD you listed, 70 millimeters, is correct. Therefore, we are asking you to contact your eye doctor’s office, and ask them for the PD. If it is 70 mm, please email us, at service@zennioptical.com, to advise that the eye doctor’s office confirmed that it is 70 mm. If it turns out to be a number other than 70 mm, please email us to advise of the correct PD value.

I had then for just under one year and when I put them on to drive home from work tonight it was like looking through Vaseline. It looks like the tinted coating on the lens melted. It wasn't hot today and I don't understand why they would all of a sudden self destruct. I've owned many sunglasses which I've always kept in the car and I've never had a pair melt before. I called Zenni customer service and was told by a disinterested customer service rep that it was my fault for leaving them in the car and that I should be more careful. I told him that maybe they shouldn't make their glasses out of such cheap materials. Needless to say they have lost my future business.

    I frequently order from Zenni Optical and normally they nail my prescription at an affordable cost, with accessible customer service. For this, I feel compelled to give at least two starts, although the order I received today is worth 1. I ordered two pairs of glasses with the exact same prescription as all previous orders. The right eye for both glasses was way off from what I had requested and clearly not what I wrote on my prescription (mind you, this was the same prescription I always use, so it was entered correctly). I believe this to be a manufacturing error made.

    I contacted customer services and received a shipping label to send the glasses back, with the offer of a 100% store credit or 50% refund. I intend to choose the store credit as I would lose money through the refund for an error that was not my fault. I wish something else was offered because it’s not as though I am returning the glasses because I disliked them or made an error, I genuinely believe whomever worked on these lenses really botched the order.

    I understand that people enter their prescription in wrong but this is not the case; all previous orders have the same prescription and look great. Before this I would have given Zenni at least 4 stars, but now I see that sometimes mistakes are made; which is fine, I just wish I could have this better rectified. The glasses arrived 8 days after the order was placed. This was odd since I chose standard shipping, but at I was not complaining. Who does not love fast shipping? Beats waiting 14-21 days, or so I thought.

    I realize now that the reason they probably arrived so fast was that they were rushed and not properly checked before being sent out. I am stuck with a store credit offer at this point, but I wish I could receive a voucher for free shipping on my next order, or something to make up for having to go through the return process. Zenni is great and affordable. I just think there needs to be a better understanding be someone returning a pair of glasses versus returning a pair of glasses with manufacturing errors.

    Hi, thank you for posting your Zenni review of your most recent order for eyeglasses, about which we were sorry to learn that there is a problem with the right lens. Consequently, we apologize for any dismay you experienced as a result. We see that there were issues regarding the pupillary distance (PD) and left eye AXIS values on your previous orders, but it appears that those issues were corrected. There are two pairs of glasses on this order, and we are not sure whether the issue with the right lens is occurring on both pairs of glasses or just one. Therefore, we invite you to send these glasses – both, if the issue is affecting both pairs, or just the one pair on which the problem exists – back to us for an inspection. We are emailing you the instructions to return the glasses for an inspection, and we are also emailing you a prepaid shipping label you may use for return shipping. Insofar as the PD is not on the prescription you provided and which has been uploaded to the database record of two of your three orders, and since one of your orders has the PD as 62 millimeters and the other two have 68 mm, please confirm how the PD was obtained – self-measurement, friend or family member measurement, or eye doctor measurement. When we receive these glasses, we will inspect them and email you the inspection results. If our inspection finds that we made the glasses incorrectly, we can remake them for you for free. If the inspection finds that the prescription in the lenses matches the prescription you provided, we can return the glasses to you or issue 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 Optical account, or a 50 percent refund to the credit card you used to pay for them. We are eager to receive and inspect your glasses, and we hope that when we do, we can resolve this matter to your satisfaction.

I contacted company and even though it had been longer they said to send them in. Once they received them they said they weren't their frames. I sent them a copy of the order, they said the temples had engraving not theirs, I told them they needed to do a better job inspecting, we did not replace the temples or anything else!! So to make a long story short, they sent them back, claiming they weren't theirs (they are), and did nothing about the screwed up lenses.

    Thank you for posting your Zenni review, which gives us another opportunity to address this matter. As we have advised on multiple occasions, the glasses about which you complained and which you sent to us are not Zenni Optical glasses. Our physical inspection of these glasses proves this. We have a record of one order placed by you, on March 22, 2017. You ordered frame 451312. This frame does not accept personalization on the temple arms, because there is a long acetate sleeve on the temple arms that precludes personalization. The glasses you sent back have personalization on one temple arm. In addition, the other temple arm has frame dimensions printed on it. Zenni does not and has never provided frames with frame dimensions on the temple arms. We are sorry for any confusion you experienced regarding the source of the glasses you sent to us and we returned to you. We hope that you are able to locate the glasses you ordered from Zenni, and if you are able to locate the glasses you ordered from us, we still will accept these glasses back for an inspection. We hope that this matter is now resolved to your satisfaction.

    I'll start off by saying that the frames themselves are cute, comfortable, stylish, and seem extremely durable (more on that later). However, my overall experience with Zenni was very poor. During shipping the glasses went missing. It happens, I understand that. They made it to a distribution center 2 hours from me and just disappeared. I contacted customer support asking what would be done if they either did not arrive or arrived damaged. The glasses actually DID eventually show up before I got a response, which was just referring me to the tracking number. I know how to use a tracking number, that's how I knew they went missing! They did not answer any of my questions. (Perhaps other customer service techs are more thorough. Your mileage may vary).

    The glasses had been shipped in only an envelope, it's a miracle they survived. The envelope was covered in foot prints (no joke) and the glasses case was broken. Somehow the glasses were still intact (see, very durable!). Now on to the glasses themselves. Like I said, cute frames. But when I put them on, I couldn't see. It's like I was seeing under water. The prescription information provided to Zenni (along with the PD) were accurate and current. I double and triple checked before submitting. I realize I could have sent them back to Zenni, but after the poor shipping and poor customer service, I just took them to my eye doctor.

    The lenses were completely wrong! Strike three, Zenni! I wear a pretty simple, straight forward prescription, it should have been impossible to mess up (unless perhaps my order was confused with someone else's? I really don't know at this point). I had my eye doctor replace the lenses with lenses that were the correct prescription. I will not use Zenni again, and I will not recommend them. After all the positive reviews I read prior to ordering, I can't express how disappointed I am. Live and learn.

I would pay extra and wait a longer time if Zenni offered to ship the frames, have me mark the vertical center of vision, and then have me ship them back so they could make the lenses. Really a gamble when you buy glasses online. Luckily the return was easy, but only 50% back as is their policy.

    Hi, thank you for posting your Zenni review of the glasses you received, which gave you an immediate headache when you put them on. We were sorry to learn that that this occurred with these glasses, and we apologize for any dissatisfaction you experienced as a result. We were disappointed to learn that you did not request an inspection, which could have determined whether we made the glasses correctly, and if we did not, we could have remade them for you for free. We appreciate your suggestion regarding marking the non-prescription lenses on a pair of frames then sending them back to us, although we are also sorry to confirm that this is not Zenni policy, nor do we foresee this becoming Zenni policy, and we also apologize for any disappointment you feel about this matter. We did issue the 50 percent credit card refund that you requested, and we hope that you try placing another order with Zenni Optical. If you find that the vision through the lenses is not good, please contact us to get instructions to return the glasses for an inspection. If our inspection finds that we made the glasses incorrectly in any respect, including an erroneous placement of the optical center, we can remake the glasses for you for free. We hope that this matter is now resolved to your satisfaction.

I sent a picture of it and asked what my options are. I was informed to ship it back to verify the scratch and if determined then new lenses will be made. No options given, no questions asked.

    Hi, thank you for posting your Zenni review of the scratched lens caused by the clip-on sunshades, and the customer service you received after you provided a picture of the scratch, when we advised we could not determine that the lens was scratched and asked you to send us the glasses for an inspection. We are grateful you posted this review, which brought this matter to our attention, and, as we advised when we telephoned you today about this matter, we see that the lens is scratched. We are very sorry that the lens got scratched by the clip-on sunshades’ prong, and that our representatives who initially viewed the picture you sent did not confirm that they saw the scratch and offer to remake the glasses. Consequently, we apologize for any dissatisfaction you experienced as a result. Moreover, we are grateful for your comments about the way the clip-ons are constructed, with exposed screw tops and ends that can scratch lenses. We want you to know that we are reviewing the style of clip-on sunshades we provide, so that we can send these items to customers secure in the knowledge that sharp ends will not scratch the lenses. As we advised over the telephone, we are asking our lab to remake these glasses for you for free, and you should receive an email from the lab later tonight, confirming the remake of these glasses with a new order number. We trust that this will resolve this matter to your satisfaction.

    After my husband had a great experience purchasing eyeglasses from Zenni, I thought I'd give it a try. I'd always purchased corrective eyeglasses and contacts from the optometrist or retailer, and thought they seemed pricey. With my prescription in hand, it was easy to set up an account and start shopping. You can even upload a photo of yourself to 'try on' different styles. I settled on 2 pairs and with my prescription it cost just over $50! The glasses came about a week later. I was very happy with the fit and received many compliments. I even recommended Zenni to others.

    Fast forward 5 weeks and the frame on one pair is chipping away. I take good care of my glasses, cleaning them daily, keeping them in their case when not in use.

    So today I spoke with their customer service who tell me, sorry, but I have to buy a new set of frames and just pop the same lenses in. Well, why would I want to buy another of the same frame if it is inferior quality? Then I'm told I'd have to purchase an entire new pair. Sure, that'd probably be about $30. But after only wearing them 5 weeks (mind you, swapping out with the other pair so not even daily use)? Sadly they would not compromise. Lesson learned: you get what you pay for. Maybe other companies stand behind the quality of their products. Guess I'll have to go searching elsewhere.

    Hi, thank you for posting your Zenni review of the frame that got chipped, and the customer service you received regarding this matter. We were sorry to learn that you were disappointed with our response, and we apologize for any dismay you experienced as a result. Even though this purchase is past the 30-day warranty period, which begins the day the glasses are delivered, and during which we can send you a free replacement frame, we can make a one-time customer service exception to send you a free replacement frame 2023918, and then you can swap the lenses from the chipped frame into the new one. Here’s a link to a video explaining how to swap lenses from one full-rim frame into another: https://www.zennioptical.com/c/how-to#howto-replace-fullrim. If you do not feel comfortable making the swap yourself, you could send back the glasses with the chipped frame, and we can put them in a new frame 2023918 and send them back to you in the new frame. However, since you mention your dissatisfaction with this frame, and advised our customer service representative online that you would prefer a different frame, we are sorry to reconfirm that, as our representative advised, your lenses would not fit a different frame model. However, the frame you selected comes in different colors – turquoise, dark olive, and dark tortoiseshell, and your lenses should fit any of these replacement frames.

    My wife liked the Zenni Optical selection and bought some glasses from them. But when she ordered mine, she put in the order and prescription and it wasn't filled correctly. I had some correction as far as nearsightedness but there was also some prism that was supposed to be there. We had the glasses checked after we got them and there was no prism put in there. I've probably had them for two to three months and then, I went to get some prescription, went to take it to another place that prescribed them and had them checked when I got a different pair. For regular prescriptions, Zenni is fine. But I don't think I'd be able to go back to Zenni because they didn't give me the right prescriptions. I had to go buy some more expensive ones.

    Hi, thank you for posting your Zenni review of the glasses you received from us. We were sorry to read that you were expecting nearsighted and prism corrections in your glasses, and we apologize for any disappointment you experienced as a result. In addition, we would like to provide some information we hope will be helpful. Since you mention nearsightedness, we want to advise that the values entered for these glasses were for a farsighted prescription. Nearsighted corrections are minus numbers; farsighted corrections are plus numbers, and plus numbers (right eye: +2.00, left eye: +2.25), were entered in the Sphere section on your order. In addition, when you mentioned prism corrections, we thought that, when we looked up your order, we would see that they were either bifocals or progressive glasses, for which we do not provide prism corrections. But the prescription entered for your order was for single-vision, and for single-vision prescriptions we do offer prism corrections. We were sorry to see that no prism values were entered on your order. We are also sorry that these glasses did not work for you, and we hope that this experience will not dissuade you from ordering from Zenni again. Accordingly, we are emailing you an item that we hope you will use on your next order with Zenni Optical.

    I decided to try Zenni Optical after my dog got ahold of my glasses and destroyed them. I needed something that could be delivered quickly as I can barely see without them. The website was easy to navigate and I loved the “try it on” feature. I couldn’t believe the amazing prices! I normally pay $200 for one pair at my local eye clinic. I paid for express shipping and expected the glasses to arrive in 7-10 days, but they arrived in just 3 days! I can see perfectly with them. The case and cleaning cloth were an added bonus. I also ordered the clip on sunglasses and those are great too! Super easy to clip on and they do a great job of blocking sunlight. I plan on ordering several more pairs. Thanks Zenni!

    I have a strong correction and need progressive lenses. An optician might charge me up to $500 for a pair. When I started using Zenni, low price was the draw. But quality -- once I got my first pair -- kept me coming back. I might buy two pairs a year, plus sunglasses. I might mention how Zenni solved one problem. The plastic (silicone?) nose pads broke on one pair. Zenni sent me (for no charge) a kit with new pads (and extras), tiny screws, and a screwdriver. My glasses with progressive correction and high index polycarbonate usually run about $130 or thereabouts.

    My glasses are still sitting in customs and awaiting the rest of the 700+ packages they sent in the bulk to arrive! That's right. I paid for express shipping and it was bulked with everything they sent out that day. So customs will not release a single package until the entire shipment is all in one location and has cleared. I called Zenni and was told if I did not have my glasses by tomorrow, they would refund the shipping cost. Well that's great, right? I still cannot see and who knows when my glasses will show up?

    Hi, thank you for posting your Zenni review of the appearance of the frames on our website.

Consequently, we want to apologize for any disappointment you experienced as a result. In addition, we would like to provide some information we hope will be helpful. Under the enlarged picture of a frame on our website, you can see the dimensions of each element of the frame, under Details. These frame dimensions are a much better guide to determine how the glasses will fit you than the try-on feature on the website, which is good to show how the color and style of the frame look on you, but not as effective regarding how the frame fits your face. We have a much more precise tool on our website to help you to determine whether the frame will fit you. It is our How to Measure Your Frame Size infographic, which can be found toward the middle of the bottom of every Zenni Optical page: https://www.zennioptical.com/measure-eyeglass-frame-size-how-to. Once you use the instructions in this infographic to measure the frame of a pair of glasses you have that fits you well and looks good on your face, you can shop for a frame on our website that has similar dimensions. Each element has a leeway of at least 2 millimeters, with the leeway for temple arms 3-4 mm. The frame width is the most important measurement to determine whether the glasses will fit you well. The frame you selected, 419111, has a frame width of 132 mm. This frame also comes in a larger size, 4190, which has a frame width of 140 mm. We understand that you contacted Zenni Optical yesterday about this matter, and that we emailed you instructions to return the glasses you received for a 100 percent refund of the price of the glasses in the form of store credit to your Zenni Optical account. Since you expressed dismay that you would have to wait to order until we received the glasses and issued your store credit, we can make a special customer service exception for you: If you would like to go ahead and place a new order for a new pair of glasses in a frame that will fit you, once we have received your returned frame 419111, we can refund the $16.85 we would have issued as store credit to your Zenni Optical account, to the credit card, or other source of payment, you use to place the new order. In addition, as an extra measure of apology for this matter, as well as an expression of gratitude for your business, we are emailing you an item that we hope you will use on your next order with Zenni Optical.

    I was so nervous to order progressive lenses online, but I couldn't be happier. They're perfect! It was so easy to filter through the frames and find some that would fit my face and style. I love my frames, they're lightweight, comfortable, and the classic style matches everything!

    I ordered two pairs of glasses over 3 months ago. 1st pair arrived and even though they looked and felt cheap and flimsy I opted to use them. They fell apart 2 days later. Called Zenni. Sat on hold over 30 minutes (despite the estimate 7 minutes, they always say 7 minutes, never happens). I was told that they would remake them and send a new pair. New pair arrived and fell apart the first day. Second pair from original order arrived in the meantime. The prescription/manufacture was SO FAR OFF I Couldn't USE THEM!

    I called. Sat on hold for a about an hour to be told that I could return for a credit. NO RETURNS! I returned them and had to use a my credit to re-order the glasses. Today is May 24th, they were ordered on April 28th... I have wasted hours on the phone with these people and what I have received is JUNK. I am now waiting for yet another pair of glasses to replace that pair that I never received. UGHHH. BTW, these are made in China, put on a boat and then mailed USPS from California. SLOW SLOW SLOW, RUDE RUDE RUDE, JUNK JUNK JUNK!

    Thank you for posting your Zenni review about the disheartening experience you had ordering glasses from us. We were very sorry to read that when you contacted us by telephone to advise that the first pair you ordered, in March 2019, had a problem with the frame, you had a lengthy wait to speak with a customer service representative. We apologize for the problem with the frame as well as the long wait. Your description of the problem with the frame, supported by a photograph, prompted us to remake the glasses, but we were also sorry to read that the remade pair fell apart. In addition, we were sorry to learn that the order you placed on April 9, 2019, was for bifocals, but you had wanted progressives. You returned these glasses, and we issued a store credit refund when we received them. However, the progressives you ordered and paid for mostly with this store credit, on April 28, 2019, has not yet been delivered to you. According to the U.S. Postal Service website, these glasses are in transit as of today, May 28, 2019, and should be delivered to you soon. Meanwhile, we issued a remake of these glasses, because there was no update on usps.com for 10 days after the initial tracking information was posted. According to the post office website, these remade glasses are out for delivery to you today. We hope that you receive these glasses today, we hope that you receive the previous pair very soon, and of course we hope that both pairs work well for you. We additionally hope that these matters will be resolved to your satisfaction when you have the glasses from both orders. Moreover, as an extra measure of apology for these matters, as well as a token of our gratitude for your business, we are emailing you an item that we hope you will use on your next order with Zenni Optical.

    I've been ordering from Zenni for years and it's pretty good. I've been really happy with it. I went with full rim ones since they're more on trend. Zenni is cheaper than buying prescription glasses at the store and I don't have bad eyes either so I don't wanna spend that kind of money on glasses. Delivery is faster as well.

    Zenni Optical was one of the cheapest and it looked like they had good quality glasses. I ordered full rim glasses online and navigating through Zenni's website was very easy. I just typed in the prescription and ordered it. We’ll be ordering another pair soon for a backup. They’re good glasses. I’ve already recommended Zenni to two other family members that were looking for glasses. My experience with Zenni was very easy, fast, and quick.

    Original Review: May 21, 2019

    The ordering process was lovely and easy. The frames appeared to be great quality. HOWEVER, a lens popped out within the first evening of wearing these and got lost. I called and spoke to a supervisor in their customer care who said the only way to replace it was to essentially wait 3 weeks before we get the new ones (I have to mail mine back, then they give me store credit, then they ship it back). Easily 3 weeks. I have a 7 year old who can't see and who is devastated that the glasses we were already waiting for for 2 weeks now will not be here for an additional 3 weeks. I'm very frustrated that their customer care team was unable to simply mail out a replacement lens - easy peasy. I even told them I would pay to overnight ship it. Nope. Feeling defeated.

    Thank you for posting your Zenni review of the lens that fell out of your daughter’s glasses and the substandard assistance you received from our customer service team when you telephoned Zenni Optical to request a replacement lens. While it is true that we do not provide lenses without frames, we were appalled to learn that our customer service representatives and supervisor with whom you spoke did not immediately offer to remake your daughter’s glasses for free, and send the free remake to you via Express mail, the fastest delivery method we have. We are very sorry that the lens fell out and that our response to this matter was lacking, and we profusely apologize for any dismay you experienced as a result. We are pleased that this morning you took our call enabling us to personally apologize for these matters, and to advise that we are remaking your daughter’s glasses for free. We are directing our lab to rush the manufacture of these glasses and the delivery of them to you, and we will make them in the frame you selected for the remake, model 669321. You should receive an email from our lab later tonight, confirming the remake with a new order number. We were also sorry to learn that you spent $100 to get new lenses made for the frame and installed locally. Although we are relieved to know that your daughter will have glasses, we are sorry that it required you to spend more money on them. As we mentioned over the telephone, as an extra measure of apology for these matters, as well as a token of our gratitude for your business, we are emailing you an item that we hope you will use on your next order with Zenni Optical. Once again, we thank you for posting your review, which has given us another opportunity to rectify these matters, and for taking our telephone call, which enabled us to apologize in person and confirm that we are rushing the free remake of your daughter’s glasses in the alternative frame you selected. We hope that these matters are now resolved to your satisfaction.

    Despite sending me glasses with visible stripes (lines) in the anti-reflective coating, they refused to send me another pair while I sent my defective pair back. After waiting week to receive these, I can't wear them, and now I have to wait weeks more, before being able to get some new glasses. Not customer-friendly. I won't be ordering from Zenni again, and if you value a great customer experience, I'd encourage you to look elsewhere for your eyewear needs.

    I've had glasses all my life. My mom was a single mom and would struggle trying to afford the frames and prescriptions. Then my husband introduced Zenni to me and their prices are amazing. The website navigation was very easy to maneuver and I really liked the try-it-on feature. I ended up getting a cheaper frame which was like $15. After the first pair came, it was very clear. I've had it for four years so the quality's great.

    The only thing that I would suggest is to pick a few out of the prescription lenses even if it's not the actual ones and send those to customers so they can try them on then have a stick on and send it back. Zennie should pay for it just so customers can get a better feel of what they want because trying those on in person is much different than the try-it-on feature. I wanted these glasses to look great on everyone else like the Wayfarer look but I could not pull it off. I thought that I have to see myself in person and it didn't work. However, everything was absolutely fine with Zenni. I recommended it to my mom and she bought two pairs through them.

    I am very happy that Zenni exists. My experience this time is a little down-graded because of a few things.

    1) Too many people involved with followup. They did NOT read info correctly and made the followup to my order confusing and more complicated.

    2) Zenni has changed policies in regards to ordering sunglass tinting. I can no longer get the basic sunglasses that I have previously ordered, so that bumps the cost up significantly. Some may argue that it's still very reasonable compared to other sources for eyeglasses/Rx sunglasses. From the perspective of a senior citizen living on an extremely small social security budget with no eye-care insurance, the increase is very significant. Enough to send me to another source for my bifocal sunglasses. Unfortunately that makes ordering a more complicated. And frankly, the end product is just a little less in quality compared to my Zennis... :-(

    3) The choices in the lesser priced frames seems to have diminished. I keep looking for more rectangle shaped black and colorful frames in larger sizes, but they aren't there.

    4) What happened to the feature of uploading MY image to see what I look like in a frame? This is not a deal-breaker for me, but it sure made things easier!!!

    Seniors and their circumstances may not be the bulk of your market, but I'm betting that if more knew about Zenni that would certainly change. I tell people regularly that there is NO reason to pay the ridiculous prices that most optometry offices demand for their products!!! Hopefully, this information will be perceived as helpful because that is my intention. Have a terrific day!!!

    Hi, thank you for posting your Zenni review of the interaction you had with our customer service representatives, and your disappointment regarding our elimination of the standard tints for the 1.50 bifocal lens. We were sorry to read of your unhappiness about these matters, and we apologize for the dismay you feel as a result. Insofar as one of your pairs of glasses from this order, in frame 2018739, has a bifocal prescription with a +1.50 reading addition correction, and one of your pairs of single-vision reading glasses, in frame 263031, which you advise is for computer vision, shows that it has been reconfigured to put the entire ADD in the Spheres, in combination with the -0.25 Spherical correction for both eyes, without lowering the dual pupillary distance (PD) of 32 / 31.5, the way it is customarily done for single vision reading glasses, it was incumbent upon us to determine your use for these glasses, to ascertain whether the PD should be lowered for single-vision reading glasses. Consequently, our representatives contacted you about this matter to confirm the correct prescription and PD, and we are also sorry if this interaction felt annoying. In addition, we want to advise that, for the 1.50 bifocal lens for $17.00, we removed the tint option because of the feedback we received from many customers about the ineffectiveness of this tint on this bifocal lens. However, we do want to confirm that we still offer the $4.95 sunglass tint for the 1.61 bifocal lens, but as you observed, at $46.00 the lens is more expensive. In addition, we want to confirm that we offer permanent polarized sunglasses at 80 percent gray in the 1.50 bifocal lens, and the price is $57.99. We also offer the gray photochromic feature, in the 1.57 bifocal lens, which turns the glasses dark in the bright sunlight and clear again out of the sun. The price is $49.00. We hope that this information is helpful, and since we see on the U.S. Postal Service website that these glasses were delivered to you on April 18, 2019, we hope that they are working well for you. Moreover, we are sympathetic to your need for the most inexpensive glasses available. Providing affordable glasses was one of the primary motivations for the creation of Zenni Optical. We see that on your recent orders, including this one, you used promo codes that provided discounts. We are emailing you another promo code that we hope you will use on your next order with Zenni Optical, and it will be a promo code that will offer a substantial discount should you choose to select a pair of bifocals in the 1.61 lens with the standard tint, or polarized bifocal sunglasses. We hope that this will help to ameliorate this matter to your satisfaction.

    Updated on 6/26/2019: I ordered glasses with mid-range progressive lenses. Zenni sent me glasses with near-range lenses (near-range glasses are basically only good for reading). I sent the glasses back to Zenni to be fixed. Zenni inspected that glasses confirmed that the lenses were incorrectly made - they were "out of tolerances". Zenni remade the glasses and sent them back to me. I received the remade glasses yesterday. Once again, the lenses I received are near-range - not what I ordered and not what I need. The entire process has taken almost 2 months and I still have not received what I ordered. Zenni has got it wrong twice. Not sure if I want to try a third time and wait another 4-5 weeks.

    Original Review: I ordered 2 pairs of glasses. The single vision long distance glasses arrived as ordered, However, the medium vision progressive lenses that I ordered came as short distance. Shipping glasses to back Zenni for fixing cost me $20. Per Zenni's return policy, I will only receive $2.50 refund for the shipping. So, I will end up spending $17.50 to fix Zenni's mistake. Doesn't seem fair. Is it even possible to ship glasses anywhere for $2.50?

Since we emailed you instructions to return the glasses to us for an inspection, if our inspection finds that we made these glasses incorrectly, we can remake them for you for free.

Regarding the return shipping fee, we want to recommend that you keep the receipt you obtained at the post office for the return shipping fee.

    I think I researched enough to place my first online order of progressive prescription glasses with Zenni. They actually arrived earlier than I anticipated. I had my frames adjusted by a local optician because they were not sitting right. So far I have used my new glasses for 3 weeks. They feel comfortable. I see distance objects quite well. From the time I received it till now, I am having a very difficult time trying to read books with it even though I follow the instructions. I have never experienced reading difficulties with my previous 8 pairs of progressive lenses. So far it’s been frustrating reading my books. I do not know what else I can do.

    Hi, thank you for posting your Zenni review of the progressive glasses you received, with which you advise you cannot use successfully for reading. We were very sorry to learn that the reading section toward the bottom of the lens is ineffective for reading, and we apologize for any dismay you experienced as a result. It is good to know that you had the glasses adjusted, and that you can see distance objects well. Since you mention that you followed the instructions to use these glasses for reading, we assume you mean that you are aware that these are free form progressive glasses, with a narrow reading corridor that should work if you point your nose at what you are reading rather than moving your eyes from side to side, since there is no vision correction on either side of this reading corridor. If you have tried to use this reading corridor this way, and you still cannot see clearly what you are trying to read, we may have made the reading addition correction of +2.50 incorrectly. Therefore, since this purchase is within the 30-day warranty period, which starts the day the glasses are delivered, we are emailing you instructions to return the glasses for an inspection, so we can determine whether we made the glasses correctly. We are also emailing you a prepaid shipping label you may use for return postage. We look forward to receiving and inspecting these glasses and emailing you the inspection results. If our inspection finds that we made the glasses incorrectly, we can remake them for you for free. We trust that when we receive and inspect these glasses, and then proceed accordingly, this will resolve this matter to your satisfaction.

    Response from Zenni Optical

    Hi, thank you for posting your Zenni review of the glasses you received. We were sorry to learn that you are having trouble focusing while wearing the glasses, and we want to apologize for any dissatisfaction you experienced as a result. Since you confirmed with a copy of the prescription that you entered the prescription values correctly, we believe that the issue may be with the self-measured pupillary distance (PD), since this value is not on the prescription, and focusing issues frequently are a result of an incorrect PD. We are sorry that we did not address your Special Instructions note about the reading addition correction (ADD) on your prescription of +2.50. This would be included if you wanted to get multi-focal glasses, such as bifocals or progressives. We did ask what you type of usage these glasses were intended for, and you mentioned distance, such as using the glasses for watching TV, everyday activities, and driving. We took that to mean that you wanted single-vision distance glasses, rather than bifocals or progressives. You are within the 30-day warranty period on this purchase, which begins the day the glasses are delivered, so we are emailing you instructions to return these glasses for an inspection, and we are also emailing you a prepaid shipping label you may use for return postage. When we receive the glasses, we will inspect them to determine whether we made them correctly according to the prescription and PD you entered. However, if the inspection finds that we made the glasses correctly, the PD may be the issue, so we want to recommend that you contact the office of the eye doctor who provided the prescription, and ask them for the PD, which they measured but did not put on your prescription. If the eye doctor confirms that the PD is something other than 70 millimeters, we can issue a 100 percent refund of the price of the glasses in the form of store credit, which you could use toward the purchase of another pair of glasses that has the correct PD. We look forward to receiving these returned glasses, so that we may inspect them and, we hope, resolve this matter to your satisfaction.

Before Zenni, I went to America’s Best to get some glasses with my insurance from my employer and they were the worst glasses in the world. I couldn't even breathe on those glasses with no smudge. Then for no reason, they scratched so bad it was giving me headaches on the right side of my head. Zenni, on the other hand, are always good glasses. In fact, my wife is gonna order some from them soon too.

    Zenni is great. They are my favorite. I’m never gonna go again anywhere else except Zenni. Years ago, I called because the glasses weren’t here yet and we talked to one customer service agent. They told me that the glasses would be there at a certain day and it was great. There was no big deal. But usually, I don’t have to talk to them. Everything is so automated and user-friendly. You get your different estimates and things where you can match your glass frame size to different facial features. It’s virtual. Their format has also changed a bit and I do like the format.

    I lose my glasses all the time, so when I learned about Zenni I haven't gotten my glasses from anywhere else. The prices are unbelievable, quality varies from ok to great, and there are so many styles to choose from that the odds of you not finding something that you like are on par with the odds that Trump will tell the truth at any point in his "presidency."

    This is my second pair of glasses I have ordered from your company. My first pair I really like and wanted another pair just like them in a lighter color but could not find them. I ordered this pair hoping they would be the same shape and they are bigger. The vision is terrific. I can actually see better out of both pair I have bought from you than the ones I bought from the ophthalmologist.

    I am very satisfied and happy of our new glasses. We will order again. The low price gives us the chance to buy more pair. I have three pairs and my son two. My daughter will order hers next week. Thank you so much Zenni.

    I'm a geriatric care manager and the two pairs of eyeglasses that I bought were for an individual who is in a nursing home. She can't get out to the eye doctor but the eye doctor was kind enough to give me her prescription so we could get her new glasses. I ordered online and at first, I didn't know what all those numbers from the doctor meant but my daughter helped me out and she was able to help me order that first pair. After that, it was easy and my client liked the glasses so much that she asked me to do sunglasses as well. So it worked out great. I might even order some sunglasses myself.

    I will also use Zenni Optical again for that purpose. As long as the eye doctors cooperate, it's great for me and for my clients. The great thing too is that Zenni puts the names inside the temple. So if the glasses get lost in the nursing home, they're easily identified. Also, because the names are engraved in the glasses, if the nursing home or the assisted living staff loses them, the families have a recourse that the facility has to reimburse them.

    I just got my glasses in the mail which I was very excited for. There was scratches and bubbles in the rim. When I put them on it hurt to look through them. They were too sharp and when I called to return, I was told they will only give me half my money back minus the shipping or a store credit. I am appalled with my experience!!

    Response from Zenni Optical

    Hi, thank you for posting your Zenni review of the glasses you received, which we were disturbed to learn had a defective frame, and which we were sorry to learn had a prescription that was incorrectly entered. Consequently, we apologize for any dismay you experienced as a result. As our customer service team advised, when a customer enters the prescription incorrectly, the refund options are as outlined – either a 100 percent refund in the form of store credit to your Zenni Optical account or a 50 percent refund to the source of payment, in this case a credit card. We understand that you selected the store credit option, and we hope that you will use the store credit to purchase a new pair of glasses with the correct prescription. Since the notes on the order indicate that you measured the pupillary distance (PD), we want to respectfully recommend that, prior to placing a new order and using the store credit toward the payment, you contact your eye doctor’s office and ask them to provide the PD, so you can be confident that the PD you enter on the next order was accurately measured. Moreover, insofar as we are unhappy to learn, as the pictures you provided show, that the frame arrived in a damaged condition, as a further measure of apology for the condition of the frame we sent, and an expression of gratitude for your business, we are emailing you an item that we hope you will use on your next order with Zenni Optical.

    True pricing for lenses and frames. No one is trying to add on extras that aren't needed. Straightforward recommendations on styles that fit your face shape, not the store's pocketbook. Shipping was fast. This company seems to be helping the little guy and not taking advantage by being the only place to buy glasses in town. I have recommended Zenni to everyone I have talked to.

    I've heard of Zenni from friends and I've ordered glasses through them before. I do it once every three years. It's pretty easy buying from them. I like the part where you can take a picture of yourself and try glasses on. The glasses are really good. The last ones I got, the style was gorgeous and I love the frames. They were really cute. But I haven't heard back anything from Zenni regarding those glasses. I don’t know if they were just the wrong prescription. My headache was just getting too bad.

    Customer service has been really good. Whenever I ask, I usually go on the chat thing on there. They said they are still working on the glasses. It’s great that you can get some really nice and good quality glasses for cheap with Zenni because glasses are so expensive at the eye doctors. My daughter orders from Zenni too. I have a three-year-old granddaughter and she got ahold of the glasses one day. She was lugging on them but they didn’t break.

    Everything worked as expected. Except the high quality glasses have two problems: 1) the frame while looking good is uncomfortable, bothers my nose. I should have stuck to my plastic frames instead of this better looking metal frame. 2) There is something off about the adjustment of the lenses. The focus felt weird. Probably the measurement that I was expected to do myself of the distance between pupils or whatever. Quality of lenses is fantastic. But I couldn’t use these and went to local LensCrafters, paid full (more than 2x) to get these made again. They fit like a glove. I wish Zenni can get proper tie up with Opticians, so they can get full measurements directly instead of me trying to upload.

    Response from Zenni Optical

    Hi, thank you for posting your Zenni review of the frame you ordered and the pupillary distance (PD). We were sorry to learn that the frame was uncomfortable and that it seemed that the PD was not correct, hampering your ability to focus well with both eyes. Consequently, we want to apologize for any dissatisfaction you experienced as a result. Regarding your wish that Zenni could partner with local eye doctors to enable the local eye doctor to provide the PD, we want to advise that we, too, wish eye doctors would provide PDs to their patients who ask for their PD. However, many local eye doctors decline to provide PDs to their patients because they know that when patients ask for their PD, the patient plans to purchase their glasses online, saving hundreds of dollars, rather than from a more expensive local optical retailer with whom the eye doctor may have a financial relationship. Nevertheless, many Zenni customers report that their eye doctors have given them their PD. Whenever we have the opportunity to speak with a customer before they place their order, we recommend that they ask the eye doctor to provide their PD, which will be measured accurately by the eye doctor or an optical professional in the eye doctor’s office. Nevertheless, it is good to know that you obtained a pair of glasses that fits you well, although we are sorry that it was much more expensive than the glasses you got from Zenni. If you would like to return the glasses you ordered from us to get a 50% refund of the price of the glasses refunded to your credit card, since the order was paid for mostly with the store credit we issued last year, when you canceled the order you placed, please telephone Zenni Optical Customer Service, at 1-800-211-2105, and anyone who answers will be eager to assist you. If the wait to speak with a customer service representative is lengthy, you may also have an online Chat with us (the Chat feature is toward the bottom of the right-hand side of every Zenni Optical page) or email us at service@zennioptical.com. We hope that this will resolve this matter to your satisfaction.

    I have ordered eyeglases from Zenni Optical for several years. Recently, I placed and ordered for 2 pairs of glasses at different times. I received my first pair of glasses and the handles fell off soon after. I returned them to Zenni as instructed and received another pair. However, the remake did not include photochromatic lens which I always wear.

    I placed another order for glasses to be maded from the same prescription. I received my glasses and neither pair have the photochromatic lens. I remember distinctively adding that feature to my first order because I don't wear clear lens. The software is not user friendly so I asked customer service staff to assist me with adding that and I was assisted. I believe the the first order was misread and was carried over to the second order and Zenni will not acknowledge it's their mistake. Please be aware of what you are doing with this company, they can be very shady and unwilling to make a bad situation right.

    Hi, thank you for posting your review of your recent experience ordering glasses from Zenni Optical. You are a longtime, valued customer, and we welcome the opportunity to address your concerns. First, we were sorry to learn that the temple arms came off your rimless frame from the order you placed in January 2019, o1646838364. We remade these glasses for you in order o1685910600 after you sent back the glasses with the broken frame, and we were sorry to learn that the lenses of the remade glasses are not turning dark in the bright sunlight. We apologize for this defect. We were also sorry to see that you declined to send these glasses back for an inspection, since if we saw that the lenses were not turning dark, we could remake these glasses for you for free. Moreover, we apologize that we advised that the glasses were out of warranty, since the warranty period for photochromic films is one year, not 30 days, and the photochromic feature is still within warranty. We want to again encourage you to send these glasses back for an inspection. If our inspection finds that the lenses are not turning dark in the bright sunlight, we can remake them for you for free or issue full store credit, which is the price of the glasses plus the shipping fee, on the original order, to your Zenni Optical account. We will email you return-for-inspection instructions, along with a prepaid shipping label you may use for return postage. Since you mention that the glasses you ordered in March 2019, in order o1778408213, are not turning dark, we want to confirm that you did not order a photochromic lens for these progressive glasses. Nevertheless, we will extend the warranty period for you as a one-time customer service courtesy exception, to enable you to send these glasses back to us for one of two refund options: either a 100 percent refund of the price of the glasses, minus the shipping fee, in the form of store credit to your Zenni Optical account, or a 50 percent refund of the price of the glasses back to the credit card you used to pay for them. We will send you the return for 100 percent store credit instructions and a prepaid shipping label for these glasses, as well. We hope that this will resolve these matters to your satisfaction. Moreover, as a further gesture of apologize for these matters, as well as a token of our appreciation for your business, we are emailing you an item that we hope you will use on your next order with Zenni Optical.

    I have enjoyed the service and products I've received from Zenni. I've ordered three pairs of glasses over the past two years. The pairs always come earlier than anticipated, and the quality has been good for the most part. I appreciated the tutorials on tint and mirror finish. My most recent pair of sunglasses sits super weirdly on my face (the nose pads are huge and make the glasses hover way above my nose), but oh well, I'm owning it. Word to the wise: don't buy the clip on tint. Not a fashionable add-on haha. Overall I get tons of compliments on my Zenni orders and am constantly recommending people check out the site! Thank you for providing an affordable option for glasses - you've really set the tone for the industry as of late.

    Zenni is the go-to place for my family’s glasses. The prices can’t be beat for the quality frames and lenses I have bought over time. I love all the lens treatment options Zenni offers and our glasses are at least half (if not less than half) of what I was paying for glasses before. The worst part of shopping at Zenni has been that I can’t stand to wait for my glasses - I want them in like five minutes!!! Customer service has been wonderful. Once there was going to be a delay with the manufacturer and I had paid for expedited shipping. They emailed me immediately to let me know and I was so pleased with how they handled it. Go Zenni!!
