I absolutely love this company. About a year ago my son got a pair and I got a pair plus sunglasses. They're excellent quality and lightweight. I recently lost them and had to get a pair rushed. Customer support was extremely helpful. Love this company!

Bait and switch scam. They tell you that you use promo code FIRSTAPP to get 15% off if you download their app, you click on it, and it takes you directly to download the app, then only after you have downloaded the app then you see that you have to spend a certain amount to get that discount. Yes, bait and switch is illegal under federal and state laws, as it is considered an unfair or deceptive trade practice and a form of false advertising.

LOVE my Zenni glasses! The options to choose from were plentiful, they arrived quickly, and the prescription is perfect. I’ll definitely be using Zenni again, and telling all my friends about it. Thanks for making shopping for frames so easy!

I accidentally ordered the wrong size frames and realized it too late. Contacted customer service and they helped me cancel my order so I could place a new one. I did a rush ship and they got here in 2 business days. Highly recommend!

I have ordered from Zenni for a number of years and have always been satisfied. However, I recently ordered a pair that was the wrong prescription. I realized I had put a - sign instead of the + sign on the prescription. I sent the glasses back, and ordered another pair with the corrected prescription. When that pair arrived, it was also the wrong prescription. Three times the charm, right? Wrong! Third pair still not the right prescription. I asked for a refund from each wrong order. They refused to reimburse me for the shipping and "handling" charge. That means I lost $9 from each return, a total of $27. I am out more than I paid for the glasses. I will never use zenni again!

So upsetting with Zenni Optical; 2 times now and I have to return, they cannot get the progressives right and returning again; they keep putting the wrong prescription number on the glasses. My doctor is telling me it is because they don't have measurements and doing progressive online does not work. I don't think that is the issue; it is the person overseas messing up in manufacturing. Long story short; now I have to return again and now getting them in a store. Don't trust to do this again and it come back wrong 3 weeks later. I will give a 2 star since they do let you return within 14 days for full refund to card.

I placed an order for prescription glasses and paid extra for “Overnight” shipping because I currently have no functional glasses. The company’s website lists the shipping method as “Overnight (Estimated delivery in 1–4 business days),” which is inherently deceptive — “overnight” and “1–4 business days” are contradictory. This clearly violates the reasonable expectation of overnight delivery and misrepresents the service customers are paying a premium for. Charging extra for a service labeled “overnight” that can legally extend to four business days is misleading, unethical, and potentially illegal under consumer protection standards.

I have tried several times to purchase through Zenni. I was totally unhappy. All of the glasses are unisex. The plastic frames are thick and bulky and heavier than expected. I return window is very short. You barely have time to see if you even like them before you need to return. There is no button for returns. You have to contact via customer service. Then they email you and ask what the problem is. If you want a return they send you a code and you need to repackage and fine a location that accepts. (The returns were free). Because the return was received outside of their 14 day window for return I got stuck with a store credit.
The next year I tried again, I ordered 2 pairs. Even with their sized the glasses were too big and bulky. Nothing feminine about them. I kept them as back ups only because I had store credit. I tried at an independent company to get the lenses changed and they wouldn't touch them. They said they break too easily. I still have a credit. I ordered a 3 pair. The fit was just not right. So I returned again. They will never give me my money back so I am out $40ish dollars. Go in person, you will be happier. All of the receipts have my name on them so I will not provide for safety.

The anti reflective quality does not exist as very visble flashes of light appear at the corner of the lenses. The vision quality is poor. My prescription was for a PD of 66, which is for distance. The clarity of the lenses was poor and worsened beyond 5 feet. None of my other eyeglasses have this problem. Their customer service told me their prescription is within their limits of acceptable to them, but failing for me. I had ordered their more expensive version with blue light protection. Beware and stay away!!

Super happy with my glasses. Had been skeptical due to the significant price difference between Zenni and all the other sites I looked at, but are of very high quality, and are everything you could ask for.

First, the speed of Zenni’s turnaround for my order was great - less than a week. When my glasses arrived, I loved them. I’m impressed with the quality of my progressive lenses - no fishbowl effect. I sadly purchased transition lenses. On their website, when the page appeared to add the transition lenses to my order, an embedded video showed the lenses transitioning from clear to dark and back to clear. I thought, "Great!. Let's do it!"
My new glasses were clear indoors and darkened when I went outside, as they are designed to do. But after a couple of months, I began to notice a difference. The entire photochromic spectrum began to darken. They were much darker in UV light and took a much longer time to lighten when I came indoors. It has gotten so bad that it’s literally like looking through welder's goggles when I come in from outside, and it 5 - 10 minutes for the lenses to lighten up. My livelihood demands that I go into a number of offices each day. Now, when I go indoors, and someone says "Hello," I have to remove these glasses to see where the person is. Additionally, they never return to being as light as they were. They only return to a medium gray tint while inside. This makes night driving a bit scary. It's annoying as hell.
This is where my Zenni experience dropped from five stars to one star. I explained my situation to several people and sent photos of the glasses, both indoors and under UV light. They admitted that certain environmental factors could indeed be causing this, and I could return them and they would test the lenses. However, the testing process typically takes around two weeks. What? And they can make and ship glasses within a week? Whatever. Add shipping times, and we're looking at three weeks. I told them, “The problem is, other than the long turnaround, is that you will have no reference point of how these lenses reacted when they were new.” Crickets. I explained that I had lost my glasses, so that's why I ordered this pair from Zenni.
To reduce the three-week turnaround time - and add ANOTHER week for new glasses to be made and shipped - I asked if I could send them back for an exchange with clear lenses. Nope. It would have to be the same transition lenses. Why would I want these again? They were 1000% unyielding on everything. So, I'm stuck with welder's goggles and will have to purchase new glasses, but they sure won’t be from Zenni. Just know that if you have a defect issue and it falls outside of their HOLY return period, you are royally screwed. Look, it’s not the inexpensive $250.00 glasses. It's the principle, inconvenience, and their indelible hard-assed attitude that warrant my one-star review. - AB

I needed distance and readers. All three arrived and were perfect. There was a question on my order and Dennis stopped the order and worked I me to get the issue worked out. This is a fan company to work with. I highly recommend them. I do not work for this company. I am just a happy repeat customer.

I think the prescription was pretty although I ordered 2 of the same frame and they seemed bigger than what I had imagined in real life. I thought they would be more dainty librarian vibe. I do however love the color or the red and they work more than perfect.

It was extremely easy to select the correct size frames, choose the styles I wanted using the 'try on' option, pick the types of lenses I preferred with the coatings I wanted, and to enter the prescriptions for both me and my husband. It only took 9 days for my glasses to arrive after ordering them. The frames are good quality and fit perfectly, the lenses are perfect, and the bifocals are in the correct placement. I am now going to order sunglasses for myself and progressives for my husband. The total cost of two pairs of glasses through Zenni is only 1/6th of only one pair from our eye clinic!!

I did lots of research on buying prescription glasses, specifically progressive lenses, online and decided on Zenni. The price was excellent, they arrived quickly and I could not be happier. I like them much better than the ones I bought from the optometrist office which cost 9 times more. I will definitely be buying from Zenni again and have already been recommending to friends and family.

I made a repurchase for a pair of glasses. The first glasses were well made with no issues. The second pair were made with the prescription backwards. Instead of fixing their mistake problem customer service kept trying to argue that the glasses were perfectly made and kept trying to send me the same exact pair of glasses back. From the first day I contacted them on the issue I told them specifically that the lenses had to be remade due to the prescription being backwards.
The prescription was entered correctly, even then confirmed it. Yet, they refused to fix their mistake problem correctly, continuing to repeat the same option of sending the same pair back to me. It wasn’t until I raised my voice that they offered to request the lenses to be remade. However, now I am still here waiting to see if it gets approved to be remade. Very disappointed with the way this issue is being handled. I don’t understand why you have to raise your voice in order for them to offer to even put a “request” in to see if they can have the lenses remade.

Was skeptical at first but entirely pleased with the process and especially pleased with the quality of the frame and lenses I received. Very sturdy frame and quality lenses. And at a price 1/2 of what I would spend at an optical store.

I have been using Zenni for my family and myself for years. Where the prices for progressive bifocals and polarizing for sunglasses has gone up I still say it is the best way to go for multiple glasses. Usually very quick turn around time for the glasses.

According to Zenni, “Included does not mean free”. Keep that in mind if trying to order from them. I learned the hard way. Also don’t expect customer service to make things right. They will not, even after being on hold for an extended period of time.

They made the glasses absolutely wrong with the wrong prescription in them and took over a month for them to do the inspection. Then at the end of it after talking to several people that said they would work with me to get the problems fixed (even a supervisor on the phone) they told me there was nothing they could do and told me I would just have to reorder them which would take an additional two weeks and still have the same issues of not being able to use them. Mind you I ordered these a month ago. It was most confusing horrible experience with this company and all I wanted was my glasses that I could use. Instead I wasted over a month and was very disappointed as I was looking forward to a good glasses company.

This is a great company! I ordered prescription sunglasses and they were perfect! However, the story was a bit different when I ordered my bifocals. When they came in, I immediately noticed something wasn't correct in the right lens. I contacted Zenni, and their customer service rep. (Jay) was polite and gave me instructions for a return, which cost me nothing. Later I heard from another CS rep. (Paul) and was told I could have a remake of my glasses, free of charge. I had already ordered a 2nd pair of bifocals from Zenni, so instead of a remake replacement, Paul offered me a refund on the cc I'd used! WOW! Hard to find honesty and integrity in an online company (or any company) that can match Zenni these days! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Absolutely awful customer service, and their supervisor? That's a joke. Just hope the order arrives in good condition; otherwise, you will most likely have to return and speak with an incapable customer support representative and supervisor. It's incredibly disheartening to learn that this firm does not actually work to aid consumers by guaranteeing that any difficulties with any order are resolved immediately, rather than 15 days later. Not good.

I’ve had a fantastic experience buying glasses (many... how many is too many?) through Zenni Optical. The value is unbeatable, especially for progressive lenses, which are significantly more expensive at traditional opticians. Zenni offers a wide selection of stylish frames, and their website is very user-friendly. The instructions and videos make it easy to measure and choose the right lenses, even for first-time buyers. I’ve already recommended Zenni to several friends, and they’ve all been thrilled with the savings. It allowed my mother-in-law to finally afford new glasses, which was a huge win. Highly recommended for anyone looking to save money without sacrificing style or quality.

I have been a customer of Zenni for years. The frame after one week’s wear broke. I reached out to customer service to have them replace. The second pair, order ** broke again after the first day. After I asked to do another pair, they would only give store credit with no option of a refund. It was truly disheartening to have to send back this pair of glasses through the mail, Wait to get store credit, before I can order again. Then have to wait until they prepared another set, like it’s the customer’s fault. This was a pair for my mother in law, who is in need of her glasses. So disappointing…. I will be using another site for now on. Sad!

Customer Service was so helpful to make sure what I was ordering was actually what I needed! I entered my prescription wrong..not once but twice!!- And they were on it to make sure I got the glasses I needed. I wear contact 90% of the day and had not had new glasses in more than five years- Got my new pair last night and LOVE how well they look and how much better I see with the new prescription. My old pair had to sit way out on my nose for me to be able to see up close - I finally bit the bullet and got multi focal lenses and I'm so glad I did! I've heard of people paying hundreds of dollars for multi-focal lenses- These cost me less than $125 and once I got everything right I had them in less than a week!

This review is in reference to one specific Zenni Escalation Team Member. We were in contact with Camille B. In the beginning she was dynamic. She answered all of our questions.

Someone else answered the question. We place the order received it and we have an issue with one of the glasses we ordered. Tried to contact Camille again. NO response again.

I broke my glasses. I ordered 3 pair from here due to the speediness of getting them. What a joke. My glasses are not correct and I can not see out of the right lens and I was told to return and get a store credit. Um nope, I'm out money cause I'm never shopping here again. At least offer to correct the issue instead of me yet again going without glasses. Instead was given false info when I ordered them. Huge waste of time. Very disappointed. Won't be shopping again.

The price was great, but unfortunately, you get what you pay for. When I got my eye exam, the prescription seemed spot-on. But once I received the glasses, my eyes immediately felt strained and uncomfortable. I sent them back for inspection, and they claimed everything was fine — just that I needed time to adjust. Well, months later, I still can't wear them for more than a few minutes without eye pain, which is a huge problem since I study for long hours every day. The discomfort has seriously set me back. I’ve finally gone back to wearing my old prescription just to get through the day. At this point, I’ll need to return to my eye doctor, bring these glasses with me, and re-order them properly. Save yourself the headache (literally) — this isn’t worth the money.

Zenni is a quality company with glasses that are a fraction of the price of your local storefront. I did have an issue with my prescription due to the automatic eye measurements provided on the site. But their customer service refunded my money and I got the correct eye measurements from my optometrist. I reordered my glasses with the correct eye measurements and the new glasses are perfect. I also ordered a prescription pair of sunglasses and that were perfect as well. I just recommend that you get precise eye measurements instead of using their automated system. 4.7 stars… I will use again.

Zenni is pretty much my go to for glasses for a few years now. Because the prices are so low, I’ve been able to afford multiple pairs for different uses! And now that I have a new prescription for different distances it’s nice to have an everyday pair, a pair for longer distances, prescription sunglasses, and migraine/blue blockers for when I’m on the computer all day and didn’t have to go broke to be able to see properly. The quality of the lenses and frames have always been good and I really only stick to frames less than 25$ and as low as 6$. It’s crazy to me if you’re not using Zenni.

Had no issues with Zenni- until they moved their production to Ohio. Unfortunately much better quality when they used to manufacture in China. I’ve ordered several pairs in the past- sunglasses and regular glasses which all came in manufactured to order and high quality feeling. My most recent order came in with the wrong lens type, protruding monofilament, and over-adjusted arms. Customer service now is powered by AI and it shows- they never resolved the issue so I had to dispute the charge with my bank. Poor quality + Poor service from the Ohio team.

We love Zenni, we have yet to encounter another online glasses brand that caters to our needs while also staying within our price range. We prefer glasses with clip-on/magnetic sunglasses, and not only does Zenni have a good number of custom-made clip-on/magnet-on frames, they also now have the option to get generic cut-to-fit clip-ons for ANY frame they sell, which is nuts, in case you weren't aware. I've been a lifelong glasses wearer, especially as I've gotten older and my eyes get so dry that they don't tolerate contacts well. So I appreciate having glasses that look good, feel good, and function well. Are these THE most high-quality, bougie glasses on the market? No, but I don't think they have to be. I'm rough on my glasses, I always have been, so it's a waste of my money to buy fancier glasses. Zenni is our one-stop-shop and will remain so until someone else can figure out the model better than they have!

I purchased 3 pairs of glasses from Zenni in October 23. By the end of 2024 the glasses were so cloudy I could not use them safely anymore. I recently set them aside and contacted the warranty folks to find that though I kept the glasses in a case and took good care of them they said the anti-glare layer often wears off and leaves the glasses cloudy. They offered 15% discount on new glasses that have the same warranty. I did not buy more, I do not want to buy new glasses every year. Throwing these away is irresponsible and it makes me ill that this is normal for them to suggest I do so. Thanks for reading.

I was sent a pair of glasses that had lenses in them that were an old, EXPIRED, prescription. Of course Zenni said they would take them back but made no other effort to correct this error. They even refused to acknowledge that they filled an EXPIRED prescription. This company is suspicious, to say the least. When I spoke to the customer service rep and asked for a simple "yes or no" answer she would not respond and instead gave company supplied rhetoric.

I was really skeptical about ordering prescription glasses on-line. I asked friends for recommendations and 3 of my friends suggested Zenni. It was easy enough to pick out frames and apply my prescription. You can even "try them on" virtually to get a feel of what they look like on your face. I went ahead and ordered two different frames; they were on sale! :) Well, a week and a day later, I received them and boy oh boy! I absolutely love both of the frames, and my prescription is spot on on both pairs. Not only am I a satisfied customer, but I am also telling all my family/friends that wear RX glasses to shop ZENNI!!

I purchased the Geometric Glasses 3239719 Rose Gold from Zenni, and within three months, the coating on the frame was chipping and the glasses looked terrible. I have been purchasing glasses for 25 years, and have never had this issue until these pairs, yet this is the terrible response I received from their customer service. "We would like to inform you that the peeling of the coating is a common and natural occurrence that typically results from normal wear and tear over time." So, they admit their product is bad, but won't accept responsibility.
This isn't normal wear and tear over time, this is three months. They went on: "This is a usual aspect of the aging process of eyewear, as coatings can gradually break down due to regular usage, exposure to various environmental factors, and frequent handling." Essentially, they will replace the frames, but not make it right. Why on Earth would I want the same frames again when the quality was terrible the first time? I will never shop with them again. Terrible quality and even worse customer service:

I ordered Zenni glasses which I received in a timely manner. However, when I tried them on, both lenses were blurry. I contacted them and they responded quickly, willing to make things right if the glasses were not produced properly. I went to my eye doc to confirm the prescription was correct, which it was. She also scanned the glasses and made an adjustment, then placed them back on my nose. I could see clearly in only a tiny spot on each lens. She explained that the "sweet spot" (the area through which one can see clearly) was incredibly tiny compared to higher quality glasses in which the sweet spot included most of each lens, not just a tiny spot in the middle. Due to family issues which kept me too busy to contact Zenni and return the glasses within 30 days, I missed out on the return option. I am very disappointed in the quality of these glasses and do not recommend them.

I've bought a dozen or more pairs of glasses from Zenni. When I buy super cheap frames, I get cheap frames but spending a little more has good results. Most people complaining haven't spent enough or done enough to ensure the prescription is correct, the measurements are right, etc. I now need glasses for close-up work and while their pre-made readers are absolutely terrible, if you order them as a prescription (+2.5 for example), they make them with all the anti-reflection and anti-scratch coatings but in a cheap frame, they are only about $20-25 - that's cheaper than the terrible readers on Amazon! And they are fully warranted.
There is mention that the warranty is limited - well, it is everywhere I've been so that's nothing new. I've had Zenni replace glasses that are 6 months old for free... I'm sure they don't do it for everybody but I've been a pretty steady customer. They constantly step up on the service side when they don't have to, so I believe they have earned the 5 stars!

I have been ordering my eyeglasses from Zenni for at least seven years now. The first time I ordered, about 2017, my puppy grabbed my very expensive Titanium frame eyeglasses off the coffee table. He had a good time chewing up the glasses. They were not salvageable! I pondered at what I was going to do because the expense of new ones would be too much for the budget. Then I heard about Zenni. They constructed a pair of eyeglasses with the Titanium frame just for me and my prescription. I was so thrilled when these glasses arrived. They were absolutely perfect!!! And the price point was as beautiful as the eyeglasses. I kept the puppy and stop putting my glasses on the coffee table, but, no worries (lol), he grew out of his "chewing" stage and is a perfectly wonderful fella!
I have faithfully been ordering ALL my eyeglasses from Zenni ever since. Zenni does a super job! They are also pretty nice. They apparently care about their work as every time I order glasses from them the glasses are made exceptional well. At Zenni's prices, I can afford to have an extra pair of backup eyeglasses and also a pair of night-driving eyeglasses along with matching clip-on sunshades for all eyeglasses. I highly recommend Zenni Optical.

They said that they couldn't just replace the frames (nor would they because they were one-month outside warranty) because they cycle through new frames every six months so the frames I bought last year won't fit the frames I would buy today. The frames are $25. The lenses are $150-ish. So my only option is to spend ANOTHER $200 to completely replace the lenses and the frames. That's wasteful and it's bad customer service.

Initially I was really excited when I heard about Zenni. I would be able to afford to have different eyeglasses for different styles of clothes. Unfortunately I will not buy any more eyeglasses through Zenni. It is just to difficult to order glasses without being able to try them on and see them. The first pair I purchased were different than what I expected. The frame was thicker but they were ok and I did get a few compliments on them so I was satisfied, sort of.
Then when my work smock was changed to navy blue, I wanted to get frames that matched. I got on the Zenni app and found a pair that were described as "navy blue". I saw online there was a tinge of pink on them but I was ok with that. When I got them they were not navy blue at all but rather teal. I thought maybe I would get used to the color and set them aside. I tried them on several other times but wasn't happy with them. Now we all know how time flies. It was a busy end of summer and before I knew it, it was 2 months later.
It is COMPLETELY MY FAULT that I didn't return them during the 30 day window. But I thought I would give it a shot and see if Zenni would work with me in returning them. They didn't at all. No half credit or we'll make an exception and do it this once for you especially since THE COLOR DESCRIPTION ONLINE WAS INACCURATE. They are clearly not navy blue. Again, I didn't send them back in time, but I would have thought they would work with me. Customer service is so very important. I've worked retail in one way or another my entire life so I do have some experience with this and I know the difference between a customer that needs some help and an abusive customer. In the end... Zenni has lost a potentially profitable customer. In the end... I will delete the app.

Zenni Optical is not what they used to be. If you supply them with your correct prescription, they can make you a set of eyeglasses- in China- that take a very long time to be delivered. However, if you have a problem... Their customer service leaves a lot to be desired. I recently ordered two pair of eyeglasses from them. The lab in China took their sweet old time making them and shipping them to the USA. Once they were finally in the country, they supplied me with a delivery date which came and went. Apparently, they use multiple shipping companies to get the glasses from China to the USA, and one of the shippers messed up- and although the address on the package was correct, they decided to return it to the sender due to human error. Wait- it gets better...
I contacted zenni to explain the situation, and asked them to contact the shipper to arrange for redelivery. Instead of taking the 2 minutes to make a phone call, they told me they would just wait for them to be returned, and then re-ship- which could have taken a month or two, depending on exactly where the location of the "sender" was...
I took it upon myself to spend a great deal of time obtaining contact information for the shipper who made the mistake. Once in contact, they were more than happy to retrieve the package and redeliver it to me. When I informed their "customer service" (I use that term loosely) that I had managed to do what they would not do, they basically just blew me off... This was my first- and last- experience with zenni optical.

I looked at the other pair that was in there. They were cracked. They’ve never been worn, they’re just cracked on the frames. Zenni said the best they could do was give me a 50% store credit since it was outside of warranty.

At first for weeks, I thought it was a new prescription and I needed to get use to them (progressive).
Contacted Zenni for assistance, rep told me to adjust the nose plates. News flash no nose plates on the glasses. I informed the rep, I have bought a few pairs of glasses from Zenni without nose pads and I have never had an issue. When I told the rep this she came back with it's past 30 days and there are no refunds (basically you are SOL). Now I have to take these glasses to a brick and Mortar store to see where to go from here.

Zenni frames are cheaply built and do not last. They offer no long-term guarantee for their products, refusing to replace a $6 frame when it delaminated in less than 9 months of wear. If there’s an issue with your prescription, they will not remake your glasses as most brick-and-mortar stores would. Additionally, be wary of frames without metal in the tips, as these all-plastic frames cannot be properly adjusted for fit.

Best prices, fast shipping and I’ve never had a pair I didn’t like in over 20 years. Even the wireframe glasses I have purchased have lasted an incredibly long time. Over it’s a great way to save money over the expensive optometrist office glasses.

Great quality at a super price. I’ve purchased so many eyeglasses from Zenni and never so far never disappointed. This time I bought two pairs of sunglasses as I could not decide which ones to buy. The price was basically BOGO so I have no regrets.

My son broke his glasses and so we submitted a rush order via Zenni for new glasses, at the recommended sizing for frames for his age. The website recommended Medium for kids age 12. The glasses arrived and they appeared to be for a four year old, they were so tiny. A regular shop would have realized the PD we submitted did not match the size frame we ordered. Zenni accepted them back, but my son will have to continue wearing broken glasses for another week or two while we reorder a new pair. What a disappointment. Without trying them on in a store, I do not recommend Zenni for children.

I decided to purchase from Zenni's as I had a couple friends that gave rave reviews. I must have a much higher prescription (with astigmatism) then they did. My first order was fine in the right eye, but left was off by about 10 mm PD. I gave a single PD of 65. My optometrist said, "They're wrong and you you need a different pair." I returned for full refund and ordered a pair with more height. Same thing again, sent back for inspection and they said it fit into the parameters! I don't think I need to be cross-eyed to see correctly thru my lenses. I again got a refund and went with Eyebuydirect who got the prescription right the first time!

Fit is great. Lenses are awesome. Clear and easy to clean. Anti infrared lenses that transition to grey work very well while I'm outdoors. Comfortable and light. Doesn't even feel like I'm wearing them.

I had read about Zenni and decided I’d try prescription sunglasses. When got them the prescription was spot on and it felt sturdy. I like it a lot and I am going to order my bifocals here as well. It’s fantastic way of saving money.

After being a frequent customer over many years, my last few orders have been grossly incorrect for progressives. The only thing I have received for compensation was a customer service apology which is their protocol. I have also had to pay shipping and handling to return unusable product from the manufacturer. Will be going elsewhere here on out.

I bought glasses from Zenni for years. The last pair they screwed up my prescription. Left lens in right, right lens in left. After MUCH negotiation they replaced them with a pair I can't even wear. IDK what is wrong with this pair. Blurry and I can't read anything. They will NOT replace. They screw up my prescription and I'm out 180.00.

I heard about Zenni from a friend. She said she always buys her glasses from them and the price was the best. So I checked them out and found so many different styles of glasses. They give you much more for the price you pay. I am very satisfied with my experience with. The glasses fit perfectly. I will be buying my glasses from them for now on.

We previously had no issues with Zenni for years, but this was a different matter entirely. I ordered a set of glasses for my son, who had just broken his frames. We had a Vacation coming up, so I paid for Expedited shipping so that they would be there on time. Total cost around $80. We tracked the order, and it finally showed up about 10 days after placing it, a few days before our vacation. But instead of the glasses, they sent an empty Fed-ex envelope with a zenni branded cardboard measuring tool. No glasses.
Customer support was not helpful. They said they'd go ahead and send out another order. I explained how I had paid for rush processing so we'd have them in time, and only then did they offer to refund the rush shipping back. Despite asking, they offered no discount, no credit for a future order, and insisted that since I was getting free expedited shipping on the order it was fair. Nothing about this felt expedited. My son now has to go on Vacation with broken frames. And even after all this, my new replacement still isn't showing up in my account as an order, so who knows when I will receive it.

I have been getting glasses from Zenni's for over 2 years now. I only had one issue and it was my fault I incorrectly typed in my script on one lens. I sent them back and expected to pay for the correction but Zenni charged me 0. I was amazed. This year I received my new script after having a stroke my eyes changed a lot. I uploaded my script to Zenni. Ordered my glasses using the picture app to see what ones you like. OMG these glasses are Beautiful and I have never seen better in the 51 years in wearing glasses. Top that off with I saved over $1100.00 from what my optometrist lab wanted. I will never go anywhere else for glasses and now both my sisters have order from them also. Thank you Zenni for a great product with an awesome price.

Easy to scan a prescription and the glasses have lasted longer than ones I paid far more for. I have not had to use their customer service so I cannot speak to that. Shipping times seem very reasonable. No problems with prescription.

I've been ordering glasses from Zenni for years. First time I had trouble. On delivery one ear piece was broken. Called. Sent picture of the broken item. 10 days later had an entire new set of bifocal sunglasses sent. Never have I had any problems with them in the past. This time they came through just like all my other orders over the years. Can't say enough good things about zenni. Thank you zenni and your support troops.

Zenni sent me glasses with the incorrect prescription. When I called customer service, a language barrier made it very challenging to share what was wrong with my glasses. She didn't know what astigmatism meant or why two pairs of glasses, one progressive and one only nearsighted (sunglasses for driving only), would both be incorrect. She said it was my fault the prescription was wrong and didn't understand that their system scans prescriptions as part of your order. When asked to talk to a supervisor, she said they were busy with another customer, but they could cover the shipping and handling so I could either get my money back or a store credit. Zero accountability or trying to address their issue.

My glasses were lost in the mail, and when I called Zenni, I reached a call center overseas that was either unwilling or unable to assist me. In fact, the representative insisted that I conduct my own investigation to figure out what had happened to them. Worst of all, my glasses, for which I paid $70, were of shoddy workmanship. They're so flimsy that I worry that they won't last much at all. Don't buy from this company!

I recently purchased a new pair of frames with transition lenses, which I was skeptical about trying but figured would be worth a try as I spend a ton of time outside. Overall, the new glasses are solid and include my correct prescription. The style and fit is as expected after using Zenni's virtual try on while shopping. The transition from different lighting settings (outside, driving, inside, etc.) works pretty well, although driving can be a bit weird. It seems the lenses only tint slightly inside of my car with tinted windows, but they seem to be tinting enough to protect my eyes while driving in sunny conditions. Outside the lenses work great and fully tint when in direct sunlight. Transitioning back to indoor lighting can take some time, but usually only a few minutes. I am overall happy with the glasses, but maybe would purchase another pair to have an option without transition lenses.
Now for the bad part of my experience with Zenni. Unfortunately, they chose to ship their products using FedEx, which has to be the worst delivery service that exists. I live in an apartment complex with clearly labeled building numbers and units, but FedEx ALWAYS delivers to the incorrect building and/or unit number. Amazon, UPS, etc., never have a problem. So on day of delivery I nearly lost my glasses as FedEx, of course, didn't bother to check where they were delivering and dropped my package at the wrong unit. Luckily it was the same building and I was able to locate the package, but Zenni definitely should reconsider their shipping partner. Not really a knock on Zenni, I suppose, but still reflects on the overall experience. Overall, I would probably use Zenni again as it is a cost-efficient option for glasses, but maybe would be hesitant to order from them in the future because FedEx is pretty terrible.

I was skeptical about Rx lenses purchased online, especially without having my PD included in my written prescription. I didn't have the measuring tool, so I used Zenni's online PD measurement tool. Again, I was skeptical about how accurate it could have been. But, considering how inexpensive the glasses were, I decided to give it a try anyway. I am very glad I did. The glasses arrived in less than 2 weeks from the date I ordered them, and the Rx was a perfect fit. I could see perfectly clear from the very first time I tried on my new glasses. The automatic PD measuring tool seemed to work great. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Absolutely would recommend.

The paint is coming off my blue metal frames purchased July of 2023. When I purchase a pair of glasses I expect them to last for more than 30 days! They will not provide replacements purchased more than 30 days prior to the malfunction.

What Zenni does to bait you in, is promise 7-14 delivery of your glasses but then they don't do it. My recent order was to be here in 7-14 days. It will be nearly 3 weeks when/if they arrive by then. I believe this is misleading and I think it's partly done to prey on Senior Citizens and others who think their order will arrive in the timeframe Zenni says it will.

I have used Zenni for a while and my most recent order was quite specific with extra features that cost me more than usual. I thought, well, they advertise a satisfaction guarantee so I should be ok. The glasses were too tight for my face so Zenni told me they would refund me once I sent my glasses back to them. I followed their instructions to a tee, taking a bunch of time out of my day to package the glasses properly before sending them back, tracking the package, etc. When I didn't see a refund on my credit card a month later, I reached out to Zenni and they said they had tried to call me to tell me that they made a mistake and I wasn't eligible for a refund after all because I hadn't sent my glasses back within the 14 day refund period (I think I missed it by a few days). I was shocked there was no other follow up by Zenni, nothing, no email or more calls, or even a simple message on my Zenni account.
So now they have the glasses back and I don't have a refund. They've offered a store credit on my next order but why would I want to do business with them again? They could have so easily remedied this by issuing me a refund, especially since it was one of their associates who sent me the refund email link and told me to send in the glasses in the first place! This is one unsatisfied customer who will never again order glasses from Zenni. Go to Costco instead where they actually care about customer service and you can get inexpensive frames and quality personal service, and try on the glasses first! Zenni just lost a long-time customer who will be telling anyone who will listen to not deal with this company who pretends to care about their customers.
