    I was a cashier and I had a customer whose glasses were really awesome. She told me she only paid 12 bucks for them and then proceeded to tell me the process of getting those cheap glasses from Zenni. I came from Medicaid glasses and the glasses that I had on at the time were a pair I had found while cleaning a hotel room years ago. So, I was in bad shape. When I went to their website, the variety of the glasses was awesome. Ordering online was super easy as well, but you have to know your prescription. And if you don’t put it in right, then you’re not gonna be able to see. My process was going and getting an eye checkup. And after the checkup, I'd ask if I could get my prescription, then I'd leave and order glasses from Zenni.

    You have to fill out what you're reading right too. I made a mistake one time on my sunglasses and didn’t double check what I had filled out. I didn’t tint my lens, and so I got them back as regular glasses. I ended up waiting two months before I finally called back to try and return them. Their customer service reps helped me out and told me what I could have done and what I could do in the future. I’ve always gotten my glasses way sooner than they say they were gonna send them too. Almost clockwork, I get them in a week and a half unless something crazy is going on.

    I give Zenni's name out to anybody who compliments me and I tag them when I put it up on Instagram. I like to coordinate all of my stuff. I have about twelve pairs from Zenni in black, clear, purple, and yellow. They are all styled plastic frames and are all very different--round, rectangle and some have keyhole noses. I have two pairs of sunglasses as well. My sister also has about 10 pairs of glasses and they’re mostly from Zenni because I introduced her. We all love them. It's been a good experience with Zenni.

    I ordered a pair of glasses and when I received them the prescription was wrong so I called customer service about returning them but I kept getting the answer of, "I'll send you a prepaid postage stamp in an email right now," which I never received and still to this day have not received and it's been three phone calls and two months later. I would not recommend this to anyone.

    Zenni is terrifically great and wonderful. A friend used and recommended them and I've been ordering from them for five years. I've bought prescription sunglasses, glasses for work and transitional glasses. I've also gotten plastic frames for golfing and some kooky color for the fun of it. I have silver, gold and some other things.

    The last time I ordered, I entered my prescription wrong. When I got the glasses, it didn't work. But Zenni was very good and they gave me the full refund. I was able to reorder them and get them at no cost to myself so I was very pleased with that. Also, all the search options on their website are good. Overall, it's been an awesome experience with Zenni and I recommend them to friends all the time.

    I love Zenni and I’m never going back to an eye doctor ever again unless I need my prescription changed. I’m never purchasing glasses anywhere else because glasses from an eye doctor are $200 a pop, and then I end up screwing them up or losing ‘em. And then Zenni has such a reasonable price and you can change it up with outfits and styles, and it’s awesome. The website has always been there and I was always curious. At the beginning, I didn’t have my prescription on hand and I didn’t know how to type it in, so I never really used them right away. Then eventually, I did. I’ve purchased four pairs and I bought the first pair six months ago. And the online process was not bad at all.

    I wrote to Zenni because I was trying to get my coupon for my birthday issued again. I had just missed the date by a few days. My email had no expiration date so how was I supposed to know it expired. The guy Jason I spoke with was not helpful at all and did not even care to what I was saying. Sending me condescending emojis like it was a joke. I have ordered here a few times but after this never again.

    I love Zenni. I tell everybody about them and they always thank me. The price is a factor especially for people who have kids. Kids scratch and break glasses a lot. That costs hundreds and hundreds of dollars. Back in the years, Zenni also used to send a little ruler for the OD, like the measurement between the middle to the other eye. That way we can choose the frame size. That was really helpful but they don’t send that anymore. I like to have different kinds of glasses and I buy glasses every three months because of the price. I have the half-frame and the other ones were all plastic and round. I just like the way they look.

    I was so happy with Zenni Optical when I saw the reasonable prices and selection of frames. I ordered several hundred dollars worth of product for myself and my husband. None of the items seemed to be good quality, but I accepted that you get what you pay for. A few months after the purchase a screw came out of one of the pairs. They're not normal screws that you can replace with those little kits - they're a two part screw, like a nut/bolt kind of thing. I contacted Zenni for a replacement screw. Apparently their warranty only lasts 30 days and they don't send replacement screws, I am told I have to buy a pair of replacement frames and change the lenses myself.

    I'm not happy with this. I now see why they're cheap - their customer service was excellent when I was making my purchase, but pretty dismal now that I need help with a problem. I was all set to order more glasses, but now I know better. Buyer beware, you're not getting a bargain with Zenni, you're getting cheap glasses that they only expect to last for 30 days - after that you're on your own.

    Ordered a pair of progressive lens glasses. According to their website I needed the midrange which the top 2/3 of the viewing lens is for up to 14' and the lower 1/3 of the lens would be for reading but when I received them it was opposite. 1/3 of the lens at the top was for distance and the lower 2/3 was for reading which according to their website is the near range. Now they're saying it wasn't made wrong so at best I can only get 50% store credit. I just want what I ordered. Such BS.

    Response from Zenni Optical

    Thank you for posting your complaint, which gives us another opportunity to address this issue. We were sorry that, when we received the returned progressive glasses from your order o1291542047, our inspection found that we made the glasses out of tolerance of your prescription. Consequently, we apologize for the incorrect manufacture, and for any dissatisfaction you experienced as a result. We issued a full refund of what you spent on this order to your credit card. We see that subsequently you ordered a pair of bifocals, but with a very different prescription, so those may not have been your glasses. We hope that you try another pair of Zenni’s progressives, and our customer service team would be happy to assist you in selecting the type of progressives you would like – our standard progressives, or our workspace progressives, which come in near-range and mid-range. We hope the bifocal glasses are working well for the person for whom you ordered them, and we also hope that we might assist you in ordering a pair of progressives, in the style that you want.

    I love Zenni Optical's glasses, the different styles, and the price range is wonderful too. Plus, their online ordering process is easy. I really like switching it up so I purchased 5 different pairs, which I have had for about six months now. I could get several pairs and leave them at different places, like my daughter's home and my other daughter's home, so then I don't have to worry about having glasses when I get there. With that, I'd recommend Zenni to my friends and tell them about the wide range of glasses that Zenni offers. The frames are very sturdy. However, I would not recommend getting prescription lenses from them because my doctor told me that that is something one has to do in the office, not online.

    OK. I took a chance and order a pair of bifocal glasses from Zenni. Style was fine. Prescription was good. Now six months later I have six tiny visible cracks in my right lens above the bifocals line. The cracks are on the outside of the lens and I can feel them with my fingernail. And I never dropped or misused them. At first I was impressed with the price. Now I know why they are so cheap... inferior quality. Called customer service. Told me I'm out of luck. You get what you pay for. I paid for six month glasses.

    I ordered prescription eyeglasses with 80% amber tint on 03-19-2018. I called customer service on 05-10-2018 because I was having trouble seeing in the sun. I got out some old pair that were 80% tint and the new glasses were not as dark. I only wear these glasses when driving on sunny days. So when I figured out the problem I contacted customer service. They refused to make them right. The reason was that they were out of warranty. It is not like they broke. Zenni failed to fulfilled my order correctly. A Zenni employee made a mistake but the company will not fix. That's wrong.

    A buddy of mine had mentioned Zenni Optical to me. He had previously ordered online from them. At that time, I was looking at some glasses because I needed to update my prescription. And if you go in a doctor’s office, it’s bazillion dollars to get a pair of glasses. I work for a living and I don’t want a $700 pair of glasses. That's not gonna happen. But with Zenni, once I got my prescription, the website was easy and self-directed enough that I could figure my way through it. So far, it was my first time ordering from Zenni Optical and I was very satisfied. I’m very happy with my glasses. In fact, I'm wearing them right now and they work well. I can now see what I’m doing. Overall, Zenni Optical met all my needs.

    When I first started to get big years ago, I bought a pair of glasses from Zenni and the product was poor at that time. The frame was chintzy and the chrome peeled, but it was okay. At least I got some glasses to comply with the US or state requirement that mandates an eye prescription. But I couldn't see any more out of those glasses I bought eight years ago, so I went back to Zenni. I went online and got new glasses from them which I had between 7 and 10 days. The packaging was superb and I was very impressed with it.

    I wasn't expecting any change in quality but the ones I got are stronger than the ones I had before. Plus, I'm impecunious right now and I can't afford to go and have eye examinations. So, I had to sort of practice what my prescription might be and since I'm near sighted, I gambled and dropped the power, and now I can see much better with my new glasses. Also, I didn't realize that they had this UV protection thing and it's the single most costly component of the glasses which exceeded the frames. But it can be believed that it's real and it works which is great because that's a really important thing now with all the computer and blue UV light to protect your retina.

    So, I'm thrilled with the glasses I got from Zenni Optical. They're really good and the prescription's great. They're extremely clear and I'm in heaven with them. And their price was $49. It's one of the best deals in America and I've been telling people about it but people don't listen. You see a lot of online ads for other eyeglass offers that are virtual but the thing is they're all US based, more expensive, and require that you have this stupid prescription. I know I can't brag about that because I checked a box that says that I had one, but I know what my eyes were and how they are now. This is the best I can see in years. The glasses are amazing and I'm stunned. It's something out there that's actually real as advertised. Other than that, Zenni also has great service. So, there is still a way to make a lot of money in this country. And if you follow up a service and treat people well, you're gold.

    I've been trying to get my refund for several months now and they refuse to do it. They blame it on "policy" and they give you the runaround so that you are forced to buy from them again. Just like another reviewer posted, I also was told my prescription was written wrong so they are not at fault for my glasses not working. Also, they suggested reordering the glasses, so I did, and again, they were wrong! Finally, I paid about 75 dollars for some cheap ugly glasses that did not work so I returned them and I never got my money back. I was offered 50% store credit.

    I was looking around online for a cheaper way to buy glasses. Then I found Zenni and I’ve been purchasing from them for 10 years now. They only charge $4.95 for shipping no matter how many pairs I buy and didn’t have a bunch of side charges. With them, I’m able to buy the number of glasses that I want. This year, I bought four pairs of reading glasses, my regular bifocals, and sunglasses with bifocals on them. Before Zenni, all I could do was buy a pair of glasses that cost me $700 and I was sick of it.

    Their customer service team is good, too, while most of the people that I ordered from before really didn’t care. I have trouble remembering about the bifocals on some of the prescriptions, so if I send in a prescription, Zenni's reps will contact me and let me know that I need to subtract so much for a particular kind of glasses or whatever for my pupillary distance. Their ordering process is quick as well. I usually have my glasses in two weeks and sometimes even quicker than that. If there is a problem with their glasses, they trade it out. I had a mess up one-time and they didn’t even charge me to return the glasses. They’re a five-star company all the way across.

    It was super easy to order glasses at Zenni Optical. And it was my first time using them, but it was easy to plug in the prescription and then pick a pair of frames that I like. My husband sent me a link to the website because I needed to order glasses and we didn’t have a lot of money. The ones I went with are plastic. They are full frames and have little flowers and little stones on the side in, like a reddish burgundy color. And it's been a couple of months since I owned these glasses. They are wonderful. So I intend to buy some more. I’m a mom, so glasses are a necessity especially with three little ones. I’m just like, I need some new ones just in case. Also, you can’t beat $40 especially when they’re actually well-made. I was impressed. At first, I was like they’re going to fall apart in a week. And their representative said to try it. And I did.

    A co-worker told me about Zenni, and after doing further research on the web, I've now used them extensively for about six years. I liked their prices and the ease of using them. The price, compared to going out to a retail place, is like cutting out the middleman. They undercut the problem of clients having to go to an optometrist and then to a retail place and go through that procedure to where we can just do it all online. And on their website, we can get the 3-D image of the product, revolve it, try on different frames and see how they're gonna look. Also, we can now upload our image and try them on and do the 360 thing, which is really beneficial.

    Also, they have many different styles and options. I usually get two pairs, a clear one and one of my sunglasses. And I've gotten a couple of prescription sunglasses for less than $30. No one can beat that. The glasses were tinted, Amber, and they came in hard-shell cases with cleaning cloth. And the prescriptions have always been filled perfectly. The shipment has always been good, too, and items were never damaged and the delivery is always on time. I had to wait seven to 10 days or longer, but when I get them, it's quality product. Zenni is an outstanding company that fulfills what they say they'd do. I'm very satisfied with them all the way around, and I will continue to use them. And I've told other people about them because the service that I have gotten has been excellent.

For the most part of the ordering process, it was easy. But the one thing I struggled with a bit was trying to figure out the sunglass option. I was looking for a sunglass button and I finally figured out that I had to choose the tint, but that wasn’t obvious. The sunglass option needs to be a bit clear that that’s available. But I was glad I have that option and it’s also a great product at a great price. I’ve also had rimless glasses and my most recent purchase was a regular framed glasses.

    My healthcare won’t provide me with a new pair of glasses but every five years. I have to leave the country so I won’t be here at the time where my insurance will pay for the next pair and Zenni had cheaper glasses which I wanted. I love the options I have with them. The whole trying on the glasses with the picture is really cool and I wish that was something that was available in more online shopping places because it gave me a good idea of what the glasses was gonna look like before I spend the money. They have you take a picture of your face and you have to upload it to the site. It keeps that picture, so when I find a pair of glasses that I want, I can go to that page and there’s an option that says “try on”. It will bring my picture up and show me what the frames look like. It helps me to show where my pupil was so when I upload the picture, they can make the glasses fit as well. It’s as accurate as something like this can be.

    I have two things from them, one is $9 and one was $7, and I have noticed absolutely nothing different. Both of them are like any pair of glasses I would have gotten from the eye doctor. And it was nice because they had coupon sunglasses for the second pair I got and that was only $5. I also like how they have a bunch of different options when we’re getting the glasses and the price for them was lower. There was no drop in appearance when looking down at the lower frame prices. The styles are different but the glasses that are $7 are looking as good as some of the ones that are up at $20. Only the materials, style and design are different.

    It was amazing. When I’m buying the glasses, it also lets me save my prescription, so I don’t have to re-enter every single time which is really cool. Zenni gives me a list of all the different things I can do with my lenses. It recommends one specific lens based on my prescription. The one I needed to get was $20 because it’s a high-index that’s really thin, otherwise, it would be really heavy. It lets me add lens tints, transition and UV blockers. Basically, I can turn it into sunglasses. I can also get anti-reflective coating and they have prescription goggles available which makes me really happy and excited. I’m gonna get some of them.

    I am a Zenni customer for a few years. All my orders were made for glasses with polychromic lenses (the lenses are changing to darker when in the sunshine and back to plain white when back inside). Never had any problem with my lenses, they would became dark dark amber in the sunshine, for the tune of $29 added at the time of the order. The lenses received with my last order are clearly faulty, they simply don't get any darker than vaguely pale.

    I get in touch with Zenni by e-mail. I've asked to receive another set of lenses and I'll change on place the old ones. They responded very fast (next day). They started by asking for pictures. Then new pictures, in the sun. Then "put your glasses in the freezer for 30 minutes, perhaps that will activate them". Then "send us your glasses and we'll decide what to do". Everything but addressing the problem.

    I'm very upset with all the matter. I need the glasses, that's why I've ordered them, and sending them back it's only losing another 6 weeks time for nothing (three weeks one way). Revolting approach for Zenni after sale support, IMHO. When ordering from Zenni, one has to accept the plus (relatively low price) and the minus (zero care after sale) included. Your choice.

    Zenni glasses were inexpensive and good value. Be aware that bifocals and progressive prescriptions require exact measurements of your face, eyes and frame. Every frame is different for the lens center and your eye. I would only order single vision lens from Zenni. The PD is an easy measurement.

    Zenni Optical had the niftiest glasses. I've ordered from them twice and among the 17 pairs of glasses that I bought, I like the black ones with my polka dots. I had my eyewear since September of last year and I pretty much bought all the plastic ones. My mom also ended up getting some too and we even had a matching pair by accident. I really liked the choices of frames and the quality of their glasses, but it would get smeary if I wiped them with anything other than the cloth that they sent them with. So there were times when I was outside and the glasses would get a little wet and I had to smear at them before I could get to my car or get my purse.

    Zenni had really fast shipping. I would know when they were being made and put in the mail. Also, I had bought two pairs of prescription glasses from my eye doctor and I spent about $200. And then I turned around and bought five pairs from Zenni for the same price I bought for two. So I really like that Zenni is affordable and overall, their products are amazing.

    I had never purchased glasses online previously, but the glasses from my optometrist were so expensive I decided to try an online retailer. Zenni seemed to have a fair reputation, so I ordered using my new prescription. I found the pricing very reasonable and quite surprisingly inexpensive. The glasses arrived and my initial impression was the quality appeared to be acceptable. I started wearing the glasses (which had progressive lens) and after less than an hour, my eyes hurt. I tried again the next day and the same situation. I took them to my optometrist to have the prescription checked. Both eye prescriptions were off... Not just by a little, but a lot and the reading element was off as well... As was the axis measurement. All I can say is they were consistent in their manufacturing... Every element incorrect.

    I phoned to return the glasses and the first person I spoke with indicated that Zenni would give me a credit. I was very happy that the company would provide such great customer service. Then when I called back for the return authorization, I was told, "No you cannot get credit... We will give you store credit." Why would any consumer take store credit from someplace where he or she will never shop again... That is just throwing away money. I was told I could send them back and they would try... Note try, to remake them. I must say, the return was easy as they sent a return label at no cost. I returned them and they have been at Zenni in California for three days, but when I contacted them to confirm they were in process, I was told they do not have a record of them being at Zenni yet. Great!!!

    The agent seemed to have a few misspelled words, so I inquired if he was in the California lab. NO LAB in California, all the glasses are made in China. Surprise. I looked everywhere on the website and could not find that the glasses were made in China; as had I known this, I NEVER would have ordered. I am extremely disappointed in the customer service. By the time they check the lens, reorder, remake, ship to California so the new glasses can be shipped to me in Texas, it could be weeks... That is weeks with no glasses. I cannot recommend this company and will never purchase from them again.

    Zenni Optical's pricing is great and their choices of frames are excellent. I’ve ordered the full-rim metal ones before and because it was so thin, it snapped. I ordered them again and it snapped again. I ordered the full-rim plastic pairs which last longer and they're durable. I’ve had several pairs and I've had them for a couple of months now. Some pairs lasted longer than the others. In addition, the online ordering was easy. There was also a section where I could simply press “Re-order.” It was super helpful that I didn’t have to go and search for the frames. I always tell my friends that once they get their child’s prescription, to go to Zenni Optical. They don’t need to spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars.

    Last year I lost my optical insurance. So I ordered glasses with a new Rx from my eye doc through Zenni.com. High magnification, high index lens, bi-focal. I get the glasses from Zenni and I can't see across the room. I can't see up close. Everything looks like a double image. I think my eye doc made an error. I go back to the eye doc (at LensCrafters). He checks the glasses from Zenni on no less than 4 different machines. Then he re-checks my Rx and gives me an example pair. (you wander around a mall looking like a spaceman) The example pair works perfectly, I can read a sign over a hundred yards away. I can see the texture on dust particles.

    He says: "The glasses you got from Zenni are WAAAY off the Rx I gave you, STOP using them and get a correctly manufactured pair." I contact Zenni about the defective glasses, they issue a return shipping label and state: "Return the glasses, once we inspect them, we will inform you of what to do next." ELEVEN DAYS PASS with no word from Zenni. THEN they inform me: "It takes 10 days to inspect the glasses to verify the defect." I inform them: "It's already been eleven days!" Zenni replies with "Please be patient".

    Out of the 2 pairs I ordered from this place, the computer use pair was within tolerances (my eye doc said barely) and the everyday bi-focal pair were completely wrong. If you have a high magnification Rx, or progressives or bifocals you are seriously rolling the dice as far as an accurately manufactured pair of glasses. A return will take more than TWO MONTHS, or they will offer you a "50% store credit refund." IF you get an accurately made pair of glasses it's the best deal on the planet. (Great quality frames!) IF!

My ordering process is pretty simple. I like the way it’s set up and I like the way it saves my prescription. That way, next time I go in, I can just click it and it’s done. Customer service has been wonderful. I have three children that wear glasses and they go through about 15 pairs of glasses each year. So whenever they break them, Zenni gives a decent time and price. Also, they have a good selection. You can try the frames on your face and they’re wonderful quality. I'm very satisfied.

    I’ve been purchasing from Zenni Optical for six years. Somebody told me about Zenni and I’ve ordered four times from them. They have cheap, decent glasses. I could get better ones but I always find the cheap ones because I work with little kids. I typically order online the full rim glasses since it’s the style that I like to put on my face. The quality of the eyeglasses that I received from Zenni is fine and these were a lot sturdier than I expected them to be. I've had the eyeglasses break on me only once, when one was stepped on. Also, a screw came out of another one, but that was easily replaceable.

    But I’ve always had to find an online thing that gets the distance between the eyes and that didn't come with my prescription. It would be awesome if Zenni had one that would link to the prescription. Nevertheless, I like Zenni and my experience with them was really good. People ask me where I get my glasses and I tell lots of people about Zenni Optical.

    I’ve been a Zenni Optical customer for about eight years. I like the variety and the price. I prefer the cat-eye frames and if it’s sunglasses, I like the wraparound types for protection. I also have a lot of wireframe glasses and even the rimless ones. The cat-eye is complementary and the rimless are really lightweight. Also, when I’ve lost a screw or a nose pad, they’ve always been really good about replacing them. So I can have glasses that last for years and keep getting new ones, so I have a nice collection. In the last order I had, I mentioned that I needed new nose pads, so they threw in some nose pads for the pair of glasses that I needed. It also came with the little screw that I need to get the nose pads to stay, so it was cool. They just pop that in with my other order. Somebody actually reads the notes that I put on the order, which is nice. A lot of places don’t.

    Five years ago though, I ordered some frames and when they came, the quality of the design was not as nice as I thought and I could not really zoom in on the frame on the website. Zenni needs to make sure that people can really zoom in on the frames so that when they are stuck with embellishments, you can really see it. I wrote to them and said that it was ugly and that I didn’t like it and they replied with, “Well, it is what you ordered, right?”, and I was like “Yes”, so I had to keep them. But that was just one pair out of about 15. Still, I tell my friends to go with Zenni Optical.

    Rather than issuing an RA for the item, I was given the option of taking a picture of the defective (not damaged) merchandise and receiving new frames, and suggested I take my own lenses out and replace them with new frames; This was not acceptable.

    I ordered a product and selected specific criteria (gray tint). However, when you order and you scroll down to select other criteria on the page, it clears some of your previous selection. Clearly, a website glitch, but I have to pay for the shipping to-and-from, and I can only get store credit. When I contacted customer service, they said, "Yes, you can't select this and this option." But the website is NOT clear about that. It does provide a "Quick Tip" which I overlooked. Who would think a "Quick Tip" would indicate a way to completely alter your order without even knowing it?? Very frustrating.

    Updated on 05/30/2018: Because of a Zenni website issue, I received the wrong glasses at the value of $28.85 (with shipping). After weeks of trying to resolve this, Zenni said they would send me the correct glasses that cost $11.90 ($16.85 with the 4.95 shipping fee). Although I fully believe the ethical and sound business practice would be to refund the whole amount of $28.85, because they caused this unbelievably ridiculous and terrible customer service issue, I did expect to at least receive the difference ($12).

    They stated that they would replace my glasses at "no charge". I did not realize that that meant they got to take money from me; otherwise, I would never have agreed to it. That is theft and unethical. I am in shock that I have to explain that to them. Although, it's a small amount, I don't want anyone else to have to deal with such a terrible experience. I have told all of my friends to avoid this company because of it. Zenni has continued to ignore my emails now that I pointed that out this obvious issue to them and they have refused to address this issue. Please, if you're considering using Zenni, look to any other website for glasses. I've heard great things about Warby Parker.

    Zenni Optical was easy to deal with and inexpensive. I've ordered from them six times. I broke a lot of glasses in the industry that I'm in. So I just set the glasses down, forget them, drive over them, crush them and scratch them. They're inexpensive glasses and scratch easily. But, for their price, they're not bad. I've tried a wide variety of their glasses and they were either really good or insanely bad. I've gotten lenses where when I look through them, I can't see scratches, but I see a whole bunch of circles from the center point of the glasses out, making them actually useless. I can't get a hold of anybody on the phone that can help me, so I called up to get customer service and it was challenging, so I ended up tossing them. It's not worth the hassle. But usually, I don't see the circles when I'm just looking through them.

    I've got two pairs and the second pair, I just got a set. Another thing was that I paid for the great scratch-resistant. There was the one lady who was telling me that the one pair is more scratch-resistant than the other and it was just absolutely the opposite. So, for a good pair of glasses, I would never consider Zenni and don't recommend them to most of my friends because they are what they are. After getting a $35 pair of glasses, they'll say it's $6.95 for the lenses, and then once I get through all the options, it's a $30 pair of glasses. Nevertheless, Zenni has so much product and the ordering process online was slick. I haven't entered my head in there yet and put the glasses on my face, but it seems pretty intuitive and easy to get through.

It’s a regular, clear, elliptical frame and it’s something that’s been suitable for day to day. And then, there’s the other one that was mellow pink.

    Their website was pretty user-friendly. I ordered the eyewear where I may be at and everything was handled within the time period that they said it would and it was inexpensive. It was so much easy and I didn’t have to talk to an actual customer service representative. The only thing that was a little difficult was trying to work on the pictures.

Otherwise, you're just wasting time and shipping money with returning your defective glasses, because they will never admit to their mistake, and will never send you new ones!!!

    I ordered from them a very simple prescription of reading glasses, with +1.5 at both eyes. The glasses arrived with one of the lenses with a considerably higher diopter, of +2 or +2.5. The difference in the two lenses was obvious, and I couldn't use them at all. After returning the glasses, Zenni Optical didn't admit to their mistake, claiming that the glasses were fine. Of course, they can do this, because there is no way I could prove them otherwise, especially that now they have both my money and my glasses! They are willing to return 50% of the cost of the glasses, but the wasted time (I still don't have any glasses!!!) and money for the shipping back and forth make me a clear loser in this case.

I already ordered twice. But I had mailed back the first one because I can hold them out and I can see perfectly fine, but I couldn’t see perfectly fine with them on my face all the way. That pair was just classic and it was black and white. It had little skulls on the sides and I put my name on there because I thought that was neat. They were also cheap and cute.

    I’m still not getting the correct glasses that I need and I keep having troubles. I’ve been waiting to speak with somebody about it because I picked out the frames that I wanted, but then they sent me a message that I couldn’t use those frames, so I had to take a different pair. We had a miscommunication about the glasses and I don’t care what they look like. I just want something that I can see through. I still have something credited to my account from the last glasses that I have purchased. I have tried calling Zenni and for some reason, the phone hangs up abrupt when somebody answers and I don’t know what’s going on with that. I’m hoping that I can speak to somebody soon about it because I’ve been through this hassle of trying to get this corrected for the past four months.

    I’ve also done the online texting with them and I kept missing them. I go back to my email and see that they have messaged me, so I’ll read it and I message them back. And now, they’re saying that they refunded the money to the card that I had used. I used my friend's card for that purchase and I gave her the cash for it, and Zenni refunded it back to her card. I told them I can’t do that because she’s no longer around, so it’s a bigger mess. Zenni should have somebody for me to call and contact as soon as the issue with the first pair had occurred. That would be a lot easier than having to go through the internet to contact and to message them. Zenni responded to me, but I really didn’t get the customer service that I wanted.

The frames were a little bit smaller than I had anticipated for the lens size though. I’m near-sighted, and I got the other one so that I can peek over the top of the lens and read if I look through lenses and see far away. I was amazed by how awful the prescription was on my left eye but I’m pretty happy at this point.

    The temple started to get just a little bit loose on one side of the glasses. I’ve got some jewelers screwdrivers, tightened it up, and it’s all better. If I just monitor how tight the temples are, I don’t have to worry about losing the only screws that are involved. I understand that they’re not as robust and as heavy-duty as what I’ve had in the past but if I pay attention to them, I’ll beat the longevity out of them. I’m very happy with them. I’m going to go to a different ophthalmologist next time and I’ll be ordering again. Zenni is more than a value. It’s a heck of a deal.

    I've had Zenni Optical eyewear for over a year now. I knew about this company through a friend and I loved the design and the affordability of their glasses. I went online to order and the site asked for as much information as possible pertaining to my prescription to give me the most accurate pair of glasses. I love that I was also able to customize the glasses. I have ordered three pairs and all have my name on the sides. One of them was a clear pair that's full-rimmed and a little cat-eyed. I also had put the transition lenses on one of the pairs while the two had the clip-on to convert my glasses into sunglasses and they work perfectly. I'm comfortable with the glasses and they fit my style. People would always give me compliments and ask me where I got them. The prices were amazing as well. Zenni is good and I have recommended them several times.

    I purchased progressive lens glasses and shortly after receiving them, Zenni updated the options you could get on progressive lenses. I discovered after wearing my glasses for a short time that I needed one of the other progressive options. I contacted them and was sent a return authorization with no problem. According to my tracking number, the glasses have arrived back at Zenni but I still have not received the credit on my account so I can re-order my glasses. I have tried to contact Customer Service on several occasions and each time the recording says my wait time will be over 20 minutes.

I found Zenni and they had good reviews and people seemed pleased with their experience. I’ve been using them for 10 years and ordering is easy and streamlined. They don’t have any problems and I’ve always been happy with it. Most of the pairs I ordered were black thin-rimmed but I have a plastic pink pair right now and I’ve never had an issue with any of my glasses. I like the way they look on me plus, it’s a cheaper alternative than buying in a store. I looked at other eyeglasses but Zenni had some of the best prices and they had a lot of styles to choose from.

These glasses looked like they belong to a 12 year old girl who loves pink. There was no gold at all, just pink. And absolutely zero protection from the sun or helped with the brightness at all. So I called customer support to get a refund for return. Little did I know they only give you HALF of your money back... Of a one time 100% credit to use on other glasses, which you can't even use for a month.

    I wasn't able to afford anything higher. I then went with Zenni Optical because of their price. I ordered two glasses, one after another. I got one with a square frame and it has a wooden stick for the ear, like it looks wood and there’s a little bump coming out of it. I like that pair and have had it for three or four months now. They seem to be doing great. It was a good experience. The only thing is sometimes I find it hard to try the glasses on or hard to match it. I didn't know how far my face should be from the camera. It's hard to put my picture in like it wasn't telling dimensions exactly. So, I didn't know if the glasses really looked good at me or not. So, I was doing a guess.

    And I also think that for people like me doing their prescription the first time, there should be an explanation about things like the pupillary distance or the bifocal. And it would as well be much better if there is a little clip or pictures to show exactly how to do the measurement. There are inches, mm and cm and I wasn't sure which one and then I thought I got the right one but I counted it and it wasn't. But other than those, Zenni Optical is great. I called one time to find out how long it can take my glasses to come and it was great with the representative I spoke with.

    Several people at my work recommended Zenni optical for inexpensive glasses so I finally broke down and bought prescription sunglasses. I was nervous about buying online but was extremely pleased with the purchase. I bought the plastic frames without the adjustable nose pads and they don't slide down my nose at all. Upload your own photo to try on the glasses, make sure your prescription includes the pupillary distance (ask the doc to add it if it's not already included) and review the measurements of all the parts of the frames and you should be good to go.

    I just ordered a second pair of sunglasses with a different shape just so I could mix it up a little bit, not because there was anything wrong with the first pair. I like that all the frames on the website can be made into sunglasses (even if they aren't advertised as sunglasses) and I like the option of uploading your own photo so you get a realistic idea of what to expect. I would love to see the option of switching the length of the arm piece but that is probably a manufacturing limitation, not the fault of the website or the company.

    I’m only in college, so I can’t afford expensive glasses. Zenni is a little pricey sometimes but they’re really worth it ‘cause they last a long time and don’t get messed up. They're nice to have. My aunt had sunglasses for a long time and she always buys me one. I kinda trusted her. I've used Zenni three times and have had Zenni for three years now. The frames and styles are the half-rim, and the bottom is metal. The first pair was this pink translucent one with bright pink frames. That was a half-rim and they’re kinda big.

    The online ordering process was confusing at first because I’ve never ordered online glasses, and I barely knew how to read my prescription. But once I figured what everything meant, the whole process was really easy. It's just that when you try on glasses online, it’s not always gonna to be accurate. The way to measure is hard to do. Then I think I emailed them one time and asked if they could put lenses from a pair that was bought from Zenni and the customer service gave me a clear answer and they were friendly.

    I stopped wearing contact lenses but I needed to find affordable glasses. Zenni has given me options for finding beautiful glasses for less than $100. My prescription is in the high numbers so I want high index lenses. Zenni allows me to have these thinner lenses for a very affordable price. I recommend first time buyers to understand what the frame measurements mean so that they order frames they will be happy with. I use online websites to convert millimeters to inches so I have a better idea of the size of frames. Taking the time to view all the frame options will give you more choices. I hope Zenni will continue to keep their prices down so people like me can continue to find affordable eyewear.

    I have ordered from Zeni Optical many times over the years. The latest ones I got are rimless with the impact-resistant lenses. The glasses that I bought before without the impact-resistant lenses were shattered around the screw area where the lenses attach to the frame near the temples. And they didn't have any kind of a warranty around that. That should've been taken care of because it was a manufacturing design flaw. But they've dealt with that by suggesting the impact-resistant lenses, which costed more but would make a huge difference if they were not going to get wrecked.

    The Zenni customer service had been excellent. I ordered a pair and then I decided I wanted to order more glasses, and they were going to be shipped and they were able to combine the shipping charges. Also there was a coupon that I've used on the first pair and they were able to apply that to the other pair. They were great and they made it really easy.

    I heard about Zenni Optical when I went on Pinterest and searched for the most affordable place to buy glasses for kids. Zenni has an excellent price range and a variety of glasses. I bought glasses for my boyfriend and for my two daughters there. It was fast and easy to purchase from them. I just typed in the information on the prescription. One of my daughters has a problem with losing her glasses, so they gave me the option to write whatever I wanted on the inside of the post, and I was able to put my phone number in there in case she misplaces her glasses. I got all the glasses within a week from ordering.

    I spent $6.95 on the glasses of my daughter who loses her glasses, which was excellent, but the frames were flimsy and plasticky. But that was the kind that I wanted. In case she breaks them, it wouldn't be a huge loss. Then I bought more expensive glasses for my boyfriend. These were still cheap but in the $29 price range. The quality varies significantly from the $6.95 glasses to the $29 ones which are sturdier and have the spring locks and the anti-reflective lens, so you get what you pay for.

    Their website was very user-friendly and easy to navigate, and the check-out process was easy. It was easy to go from low to high price ranges and find the type of frames that I was looking for, whether it was square, round or oval, and if I was looking for a certain color. They even had a tutorial on how I could get the pupillary distance for each person with a ruler that I could print out and that was helpful. I’m really happy with the service and I’m going to be ordering more from Zenni Optical because their website was so easy to use.

    My friend ordered glasses from Zenni for her whole family and never had any problem. I decided I'd try and I've never had any problems either. Zenni is very affordable and their online ordering is easy. I’ve been ordering from them for years and I usually go with the full rim style glasses, like what I last ordered six months ago. I ordered a different pair originally and when I looked back at the order, I realized that they had a blue tint. So I called Zenni and they were so helpful. They cancelled that order for me right away and then I was able to put in a new order. I was really happy when I talked to customer service. I recommend Zenni all the time.

    So I have received my new frame from Zenni and I was able to swap my lenses to the new frame with the included tool. I am happy and that is all I wanted. In the future please have your customer service reps find a solution for your customer rather then saying sorry I cannot help you. I am happy though and thank you for your service.

    Original Review: March 5, 2018

    After my first call to Zenni customer service I found out that they do not have the frame in stock and cannot purchase it. I bought my glasses in December of 2017 and now March 5th the frames are not in stock and they are sorry about it. They offered no alternative and wanted me to pay for a new pair at 50% off the original price of the frame. I’d say this is poor customer service and will never buy from them again. Terrible service Zenni.

    I’ve ordered from Zenni almost every month since October. I needed glasses at the age of 30 and it took me a while to figure out what actually works for me. The first one was the wrong PD, which was my fault. My sister, both my sons, my husband and I all wear glasses. I’ve ordered glasses for almost everybody. When I put in a different prescription, I was never questioned. It seems like they’re really understanding that you have probably more people in your life than just yourself who wear glasses. My son has two pairs of Zennis that he loves, and he’s wearing right now. The second ones were too small for my face. But this last pair that I got in December is perfect. And I now know the size that I need. I just kind of order things that are the same size as the ones I have now.

    The only time that I contacted customer service was when my glasses were taking a little longer than I thought they should because it should only take a week. And I was getting impatient because I wanted my glasses. Almost immediately, they got in contact back and said that the glasses were on their way. And later that day, they were shipped.

    I have mentioned Zenni to a lot of my friends not only to bring business to them but because it’s just wonderful that Zenni itself is trying to help people of all financial situations be able to afford to see. So being able to afford glasses, I can get a couple of pairs for each person in case someone broke their glasses. I always have a backup pair thanks to Zenni. The pricing is always phenomenal. And it never happened to me that the glasses were sent with an incorrect prescription.

    My sister told me about Zenni Optical and I've exclusively bought glasses from them for about two or three years, five to 10 pairs of glasses a year. I've always enjoyed the prices and I like that I can go back to my profile and just hit reorder because I don't want to look for my glasses again. The interactions with the reps have always been fine. I had one pair come in a bit scratched, but I ended up not doing anything about it. I was going to send it back to them but I opted to be lazy since they couldn't see the scratches on the film. Other than that, I'm satisfied with Zenni overall and I recommended it to a lot of people. I have a friend with glasses and I tried to tell him about Zenni and that it's huge savings.

    Zenni Optical has low prices and I’ve ordered from them three times already. I’ve gone with several different varieties of glasses and I’ve gotten one of each, half rim and full rim. I usually use the tablet or smartphone to check their website. I have certain challenges to the website that’s not unique to them. Nevertheless, I tell my friends that Zenni is a good option. The only challenging thing is knowing what glasses will fit the customer. Usually, once they order a pair, they figure out if they have a big nose or not. The average joe on the street doesn’t know how to match their face for glasses, so it might be a good idea for Zenni to have some guide or have a section on that.

    Summary: Zenni Optical did a poor job in communicating with me about when I would receive the glasses I ordered. The glasses eventually arrived about a month after the order was placed. On the plus side, the lenses and frames were solid. Had they arrived in a more timely fashion, I would have been quite satisfied with the purchase.

    I was satisfied with both the frame and the lenses provided by Zenni. The frames matched the description on their website and were solidly made. They have held up quite well for about a month now. The prescription seems to be correct and I have found the frame/lens combination to be what I expected. As alluded to earlier, the order took over a month to arrive and I had to reach out to Zenni to get any kind of ETA. Poor execution and communication on their part in the order fulfillment area. I have no idea of whether slow manufacturing, handling and shipping is at all typical of Zenni, but I had expected much better service.

    I commented on a friend’s glasses that they looked so nice, and she told me about Zenni Optical where she ordered several pairs. I went online and saw that Zenni’s pricing is great. They also have an amazing selection and options and everything is fantastic. However, I ordered a pair of glasses four or five days ago and I noticed they changed the option where I could get the glasses tinted. I really liked that, but I ended up not ordering from them and just waiting. Zenni does not have that option anymore to get the regular tint for 4.95 unless I order the better class that costs $49 or $59. It has to do with preparing the bifocal. I used to pay $17 for it and I used to be able to order the $10 glasses and get 10%, 50%, or 80% tint. I hope they put that option back to being able to pay $7.95 plus $4.95 instead of $59 plus $4.95. Otherwise, everything else is perfect.

    Zenni is a kind of a thing for low-income people, but it has got to be the best. They’re better than going to an optical store, and you can’t beat their prices. One of the huge things was that they offered the bifocals. I didn’t think that would be easy to get online and Zenni fulfilled just about every need that someone who wears glasses would have. The wide variety is phenomenal and you can get anything you want. Also, they don't limit their options as far as style, you can get them for kids and they even have clip-ons and $6.95 glasses. Zenni sends the cards inside the case and I do the “Just got my Zennis” online. I recommended Zenni to a friend and he got a pair which he likes very much. And I recommended it to someone else and she said she is definitely going to look into it. I sing Zenni’s praises and I will still order glasses, although not as often.

    In August I received my glasses from ZENNI and all looked good. However while cleaning my glasses the frame broke earlier this month in February above one of the lenses. Since this is an odd place for a frame to break I clearly suspected a product flaw. After contacting ZENNI it became clear that the frame was no longer available and that a replacement frame needed new lenses as well. Since the warranty of 30 DAYS was expired I was offered to place a new order for FULL PRICE. When checking their website for similar frames it became clear that many people complain about exactly this issue... acrylic frame breaking above the lenses. Needless to say I declined the offer to buy new glasses from this company.

    Thank you for posting your complaint, which gives us another opportunity to address this matter. We were sorry to learn that you did not like the appearance and fit of the frame and thickness of the lenses. We were sorry to learn that neither you nor your eye doctor was able to adjust the nose pads and frame so the glasses would work for you, and we want to apologize for any dissatisfaction you experienced. Although the database record of your order includes a note indicating that we emailed you a prepaid shipping label and instructions to return the glasses for inspection, we do not see a copy of this email in the notes of the database record confirming that this email was sent. Therefore, we are sending it to you again, and we are again emailing you a prepaid shipping label to use to return the glasses to Zenni Optical for inspection. The reason we are emailing you this option, rather than instructions to return the glasses for a 50 percent refund, which is our standard refund policy, is because since you complained about aspects of the glasses that might indicate something wrong with the glasses. If our inspection finds that there was something inaccurate about the way we made these glasses, we can offer you a refund of what you spent on the order, including the shipping fee. However, if our inspection finds that we made the glasses correctly, we can issue the 50 percent refund of what you spent on the glasses, minus the shipping fee. We hope you will return the glasses for inspection, and when we have received and inspected the glasses, we will email you the inspection results and restate the refund options. We look forward to receiving and inspecting these glasses.

    I purchased new glasses in October of 2017. Yesterday I went to put my glasses on and found a nose piece missing. Being I am home recovering from shoulder replacement surgery I knew the nose piece had to be in the house. After some searching I found the nose piece but could not find the retainer screw. So I emailed Zenni at 9 am yesterday to see about a replacement screw.

    After 24 hours with no response I called them. After the call was answered by a computer I was placed on hold for 20 minutes. Finally a gentleman answered that barely spoke English. I explained the problem then he started responding. I could not understand him and told him I needed someone that could speak English that I could understand. His response was, "Me speak English." I informed him I needed someone I could understand. After me telling him this half a dozen times he placed me on hold. Someone else finally picked up and told me they do not have replacement parts but I was welcome to order new frames and they would give me a 50% discount. I will do my best to prevent anyone from ever ordering from this company. Again the total lack of customer service and professionalism was appalling.

    I purchased 4 pairs of glasses. All 4 glasses had the wrong script. I know it was the wrong script as I took the glasses to my local eye doctor. He verified it was incorrect. I also verified that I entered the script correctly online. This was 100% Zenni's mistake. I called Zenni to get a return label and waited on hold for 20+ minutes to speak with someone. I finally spoke with customer service and they provided me with a return label explaining I would hear back in 1 week from someone regarding next steps. I never received a follow up email or phone call.

    I called Zenni 11 days later. Again, I sat on hold for 20+ minutes. I was told they have received the returned glasses but they have not been processed. I asked to speak with a supervisor. Again, waited on hold. The supervisor was rude and said nothing would be done until the following Tuesday or Wednesday. "It's first come first serve." I'm guessing this type of mistake must happen often. I asked for a full refund and was told that could not happen until after the inspection. Terrible first time experience. Very disappointing!

    I got recommendation from some people using Zenni Optical and a lot of people have been buying from them. The first time I purchased, I couldn't see anything. I went back to my doctor and he kept changing my prescription two or three times. I don't know if the problem was the doctor, Zenni Optical or my eyes. So my recent purchase is my second time ordering but the first time I will use something from Zenni. However, it had only been two days and I'm back to my older glasses because I cannot see properly with the prescription. I have to see to help teachers and students and it’s difficult to do that when I’m not feeling comfortable with the glasses. It might be due to the lack of communication between my doctor and Zenni, and shipping took a week and a half that possibly my prescription changed after having my older prescription while waiting for the glasses.

    Zenni Optical has good price that’s why I go for them. Customer service also gave me discount. I know it will take time for the glasses to be made because it's custom-made, but Zenni has to find a way to make it more effective and send the product right away.

    I purchased my first pair of glasses from Zenni Optical 10 years ago. Then I decided to buy from them again mostly because of the value and the history I received from my prior purchase. I wanted to get the same pair that I had because it should’ve had some spring hinges but the ones I received didn’t have the spring on it like on the site. It would take like a couple of months back then to ship because it was from China but when I bought this one it kind of came in after a couple of weeks so I was surprised how quick it was. There was like a whole change in management and that’s cool.

    I’m satisfied with the cheapest one I received but then the more expensive one that I picked up I don’t really use as much. And I put the same pupillary distance on it so it feels kind of weird. Maybe the transition lens on it was causing it. I know that there’s a new site and I wish I can upload my own picture because I’m not sure the way the proportions of the glasses are. But I like the way the system works where you can try on the glasses on faces. I’m using an avatar type thing and that’s cool too. They also sent me a pupillary distance ruler so that made up for it and I’ll probably use it for my next purchase. If anybody should ask about Zenni I would just show them my glasses and see if they like the build quality and I’ll tell them it’s under 10 bucks. So pick it up.

    They contacted with me from here and they re sending me new pairs to right address. Thank you. The reason I am giving 4 star. My bad experience with customer service and how they failed to take care of me. Thanks again. I will give Zenni one more chance!

    Original Review: Feb. 7, 2018

    They sent my glasses to wrong address. And now I called them they say there is nothing they can do. So I just wasted my $50 for nothing? And I am their regular customer. I bought glasses from them before as well. Customer care horrible. Don't buy anything from this scumbags!!

    I’ve been shopping with Zenni Optical and have owned their eyewear for about six months. Their online ordering process is really easy and my experience with them has been great overall. I would recommend Zenni to anyone. They have a quick and easy process.

    I thought, for $6.95, the Zenni Optical glasses weren’t good but I didn’t have much to lose and I just needed backup glasses back at that point, but I’ve ordered from them since then. Now, I’ve already ordered about seven pairs of glasses from them. For said price I can get a pair of glasses with every outfit. I like the half-rim design as it suits my face better, it’s not so intrusive and they seem lighter in weight. Also, I like the metal ones better than the plastic.

    Ordering online was easy. I go to their website and it has these people in the corner. I didn’t download a picture of myself, so I just use someone that has the same shape head as mine for picking out a frame. It’s awesome and I love it. I’m happy with Zenni and I’ve referred them to a lot of people. Their price can’t be beaten and their glasses are good. The quality is great, the same as hundred dollar glasses. Plus, the glasses come in in about two weeks in the mail and you can order six pairs and still just pay the five dollar shipping fee.

    I’ve been ordering from Zenni for a long time. It was probably since 10 years ago and it must have been a word of mouth that I knew about them. I like their price. I used to spend a lot more money on glasses but they are inexpensive. I also like that there’s so much diversity so I can have so many different styles. I can get glasses that are really fun and funky. For the most part, I’ve gone with the Wayfarer style which is the plastic frame in bright colors. I always wanted to have different glasses for different outfits. Now, I have that and I also don’t worry about them getting broken.

    Ordering online is super easy because they save all my info so I can get online whenever I want to without worrying about needing my prescription. I also order for my partner, my brother and my mother. I have all their prescription saved. Like for Christmas this year, I was able to get glasses for my mom without even telling her because I already have her prescription saved into the computer. At one time, I ordered the wrong frame size. I called Zenni and talked to the customer service. They got the correct frame size, sent it to me and the whole thing was just as easy as if I had gotten it right the first time online. I recommend Zenni and I really enjoy my glasses from them. It’s fun when people recognize and they’re like, “Oh my gosh, you’re wearing Zenni’s.”

    One of my friends who has a child who also wears glasses referred me to Zenni Optical. My son has had some difficulties because he has such a strong prescription and it’s hard to find glasses that are reasonable. My son likes the full-rim plastic glasses as it is more comfortable on his head. I've been shopping with Zenni Optical for six months. At first, the ordering process was confusing but I received help so it was okay. Their customer service has been good. They respond quickly and are helpful. I’ve told other people about them.

    My aunt had ordered some glasses from Zenni at one time. They are pretty good priced and they have a good selection. I have already bought four or five pairs and ordering online was pretty easy. I got the plastic ones with full rim and they look different. I had my most recent pair for three months now. I asked about shipping one time and the person I talked to in customer service knew what she was talking about.

    My dad told me about Zenni years ago. I like the big, thick, black-rimmed glasses so I can see everywhere. They are comfortable. Zenni is inexpensive and it is easy to get prescription through it.

    I've been using a pair of full-rimmed glasses from Zenni Optical for a long time now. My grandma took me there a couple of years ago and I liked their prices. These glasses are better on me, too. Their reps were cool and I liked them all. I'd recommend Zenni. They’re pretty decent and they make good glasses that last for a couple of years and are very affordable. But they still have more room to improve. While I really enjoy the convenience they offer, I wish they had a way to get the eye tests for your prescription without paying a doctor or they could have their own locations so that I could give them my money rather than to someone else. Their shipping could also be faster.

    I decided to try out Zenni Optical because they seemed to have the best combination of price, styles and options. Once I got my first couple of frames, I confirmed that they were the correct prescription and that they looked good and were not crappy. At that point, I was hooked and I have been ordering from them since 2011. My insurance covers a yearly exam and a certain amount of frames. All I do is get my exam and then I get my updated prescription, go online and pick out three new frames.

    For the first time, I finally got the sunglass tint added to one of them so that I could have prescription sunglasses in my car but I never wear them. I don’t know what I was thinking adding the sunglass tint to that particular style of frame ‘cause as soon as they came in, I tried them on and realized they look terrible. The beauty of a place like Zenni is that it was not like the frame cost $300. I can go, “Well, whoops, learned my lesson,” and just not do it again.

    Another frame that I got is a round-ish tortoise shell one. The other one is a Tiffany blue color. I had the exact same frames a few years ago and people would compliment me on them. So when I got my new prescription, I got those frames again. I plan on getting a couple more frames soon with the same new prescription just to have more variety to choose from. I started telling everybody about Zenni and now I’m one of five people at my work who ordered glasses from them. I’m the one who started the whole thing.

    I liked the glasses that I saw at Zenni Optical and I ordered some in December. Those were like cat-eye glasses and then I ordered some full rim ones a couple of weeks ago. With Zenni’s prices, I order two pairs of glasses now for far less than one pair would cost me at any of those optical outlet places here in town. But although Zenni’s online ordering process is doable, the website could flow a little easier. Once I’m ordering, I’d have to go back to look at the glasses, then I’d have to go to the menu and get my account again. It could be a lot easier. Additionally, when you go in to look at women’s glasses, you can look at the bestsellers but then you have to go back to the menu and try and look at all glasses. It’s an effort. That aside, I was very pleased with my glasses and I’d tell others to use Zenni too.

    One of my professors in grad school was telling the students to use Zenni Optical because they were so cheap. I bought my first pair in August and bought another around November. The prices were great and the quality of the glasses is incredible for the price. I am not gentle with my glasses and none of them are broken. The shipping time was a little bit long but it wasn’t bad. I’ve been wearing the glasses ever since. Zenni’s website is generally good. There’s some weird stuff in it though. I have unusual prescription where one of the values is positive and one is negative and I was trying to order another pair the other day but I couldn’t scroll down. It has to pop up so I couldn’t check out. But otherwise, everything is fine. I would tell my friends to go ahead and order a pair from Zenni Optical.

    My daughter could not find any frame styles she liked at any stores we tried, but Zenni had them. Zenni had an extensive selection-much more than stores. The glasses arrived on time, inexpensively and she says she can see well. The value for the price was excellent and the quality was good. The only hassles were PD-we had to get them measured, then the glasses arrived with a template tool for measuring PD. Also, I had to file the insurance forms myself.

    I wanted to try Zenni Optical. I got one pair of glasses that was just for distance and I got another one for reading. For some reason, the left lens was not done to my prescription. It was a lot weaker than my left eye needs for distance. That was unfortunate but I kept the glasses. It didn’t seem worth it to try to have them corrected and I didn’t want to pack them up and send them back. So I have the glasses now for close to a year. I also got a pair of sunglasses that have progressive lenses and I love it. It's very easy to order from Zenni. They have cheap frames and I thought they would look and feel better than they actually do, but you get what you pay for. They’re decent products but make sure that you check your prescription after they arrive. If not, send them back.
