    I was looking for glasses online. I had heard from somebody that Zenni Optical was reputable. They had so many different options, too. I’ve gone with multiple glasses. I’ve had a big black frame, I got sunglasses, and then I have ones that are rimless. I've had all of them together for about five years and they work very well. One time I called Zenni to see where the glasses were, and they gave me a timeline of when I’d get them and that was fine. I don’t get my glasses from my doctor’s office often anymore. I just get the prescription and I do it online. I really like Zenni and I keep using it. They have good quality, are reasonably priced, and they have a lot of options. I have recommended them.

    We are a family that is blind without our glasses so the first order we did with Zenni I was a bit nervous about something being wrong, but they were perfect!!! AT LEAST THE FIRST ORDER! The first time we ordered we had all 3 of our scripts uploaded and what we wanted, got them in the mail and they were perfect, no complaints. The 2nd order was for my husband and will uploaded his script again. No problems. Paid for them and moved on, got the glasses later than we were supposed to, script wasn't his, mine or our daughter's. No clue whose script they used but wasn't his! Finally was able to reach someone on the phone because their chat system seems to always have you on hold so you will leave a message. In fact it will tell you the representative has left the chat room but they weren't ever there to begin with!

    They finally issued an in store credit for a 1x purchase amount - shipping & handling, so when we did reorder the glasses a 3rd time we ended up spending 2x the amount we did in the first place and the script is still wrong!!! Once again we uploaded my husband's script in order to get his glasses. WILL NEVER USE THEM EVER AGAIN. ANGRY, DISAPPOINTED AND TAKING THIS HIGH UP THE FOOD CHAIN AS THEY ARE A RIP OFF.

    I liked the website of Zenni Optical and the multiple options they had, and my interactions with the reps were good. I bought some glasses. The first glasses were like some black thing with gold legs and the second ones were round, turtleback glasses. I've had these glasses for a couple of months and they're all good. Zenni Optical is a good company for glasses.

    Both of our daughters have used Zenni and I liked what I saw. Moreover, they were happy with Zenni and with the products. About three months ago, I've bought two pairs, one a little more dressy, with metal half-frames and the other a tortoiseshell plastic pair. I usually choose something that looks too old. I am old but my daughters thought I should wear something a little more with it. My husband and I are housebound, so it was handy to be able to order it online. I found that it was easy to put my information in and upload a picture. I took my time and looked everything over. I will buy from them again. In addition, I’ve told friends about Zenni Optical.

    I’ve contacted customer service through online chat and email. They haven’t responded to my last email. They are stating they sent me 1.74 high index lenses, plus I had to pay an extra fee for my SPH. With my lenses being 11/9.5mm thick. I used their linked lens thickness calculator Opticampus, with results stating the should be around 6.9/7.8mm, this is a huge difference. I also purchased frames in the kids' section, so they are small frames, with a frame width of 30. These are the thickest lenses I’ve had in 35 years! They are definitely not high index. Customer service has been very unhelpful, blaming my prescription and frame choice and now just not responding. Horrible company to purchase through, if they don’t back their product! Extremely disappointed.

    I ordered my first pair of glasses from Zenni Optical with progressive lenses. When I received them and put them on, I was extremely disappointed. The area of focus for distance vision was very narrow. If I moved my eyes left or right of center, the vision was not in focus. The line where the progressive bifocal started was way too high. I took them to my regular eye doctor and they explained to me how there is a variation in lens quality and the areas of focus and the online companies use cheap frames that have a very narrow area of focus. I do not recommend ordering progressive lenses from an online eyeglass company.

    I was at work and was complaining about needing new glasses, and one of my customers told me about Zenni Optical. Their online ordering process was super easy. In fact, their website is one of the better ones. I wanted something different from what I had before so I got the half-rim, gold metal frames. Zenni Optical has great glasses, their prescription is spot on, and you can't really beat their price. So, I'll just keep using them.

    A friend referred me to Zenni and I liked their prices. When the lenses on my old glasses were scratching off a little bit so I knew it was time for the new one. I got a full frame and it came with the sunglass lenses on them. I've had them for a couple of months and they're holding up pretty well. Buying it online was pretty easy. But I don't like how you can upload your picture and put the glasses on there. Unless it’s a 100% front face, it doesn’t come out right. But other than that, the website worked with me pretty fine.

    I was searching for optical and Zenni was the first one I found. They had good designs for frames. I bought the one with a Wayfarer shape or frame as I was used to wearing such style. It was easy purchasing online. I liked that I could have my stuff still on file and I could pick out my prescription really quickly if I had it saved. I've had my pair for about almost a year now.

    I liked Zenni's pricing and I have their eyewear for about six months now. A co-worker's referral led me to buy prescription glasses from them and initially, ordering from their website was confusing for me. But my co-worker showed me how to do it and it became pretty simple after that. For my first time, I ordered two pairs and one pair ended up being like a kid size. I had to call customer service and they were nice enough to let me return it and give me credit towards the next order. Later, I got one of those clip-on glasses. I like it when they have the discounts. The promo codes helped make my experience worthwhile and if it wasn’t for those, I'd rather get the glasses locally if I could have somebody there to help me out.

    I have ordered two pairs of prescription glasses from Zenni. One was when I had to switch my actual prescription, and the other was the first time when I bought sunglasses that were prescription too. I’ve had them for about two years and they’re holding up great. They have changed my life. I like their cost and the fact that they were delivered. Navigating the website to order and going back and forth from shopping and the cart were easy. But every time I had to go back to shop, it would take me to the very start of the whole page, and that was annoying. Other than that, it was pretty easy to follow.

    The second time I ordered was around the time the California fires were happening. Zenni sent out an email saying, “It might take a little longer to get to you. Sorry for the inconvenience.” And surprisingly enough, it still took them less than two weeks to get me my order. That was really impressive. I recommend them to people all the time. I’m a bartender and I get compliments on my glasses a lot. I always tell them that these are $10 and that they have to go on Zenni where they can take a picture and try the glasses on.

    There was no prescription in the left eye meaning it was just like clear glass, these were progressive. I wasted my money since they didn't want to correct the issue and just gave me 50% of what I paid. Also frame color was brownish instead of purple. Scam, never order from them again.

    This is my first, but definitely not last purchase, from Zenni. I was surprised how long it took for the glasses to arrive in the mail but am pleased with them nonetheless. I don't know how they can sell glasses and lenses so cheaply... My eye doctor's selection starts around $300 and the ones I bought here were about $20. Yaaas! Make sure you read the reviews on each pair before you order - I have a very thin face and needed to order kids' glasses. I would highly recommend this site.

    I bought a pair of frames. Since I wear progressives, I had the lenses made at Sams. Got the glasses home, put them on the table for the night and by the next morning, the frames were broken in 2 places (at the right and left corners). E-mailed Zenni and after I sent a photo, they replaced them. Had the new frames for less than one day and the arm randomly snapped off (I was wearing them and walking at the time so it wasn't like I was manhandling them). Zenni offered to give me store credit. Uh, yeah, not ever buying anything there again. They finally agreed to refund my Amazon Pay account. So minus 1 star for the quality of the frames, 2 stars for the customer service - at least they tried to replace the crap frames.

    I've used Zenni for over 5 years and I've never been so angry until now. Got a pair of glasses in the mail today and they were horrible. Literally like wooden frames. I asked to send them back for a refund, and their policy is 50% refund or 100% store credit. I didn't like any of the other frames at all, so after paying $8 for shipping the first time, $28 for the frames and then having to pay $5 to send them back (because they don't even give you a return shipping label), I'm going to receive back about $14 of the $41 I've spent. Total bullshit. If they gave a prepaid shipping label MAYBE I'd be okay with 50% refund, but they didn't and I'm not happy. I will never do business with them again. Rip off.

I have a pair that I’ve been wearing on and off for about two years, and they’re still holding up.

    My co-worker told me a lot about Zenni and its prices. I had lost a pair I recently bought from the optometrist so I decided to give Zenni a try. I've done two purchases now and it was very easy to order online. My first pair was a pair of eyeglasses with a thinner, metal type of frame, while my second purchase was for a pair of sunglasses. Their customer service was professional. I contacted them once to get an update on how long it would take for the eyeglasses to be made and them being shipped out. They were courteous and they got back to me real quick.

    Also, their prices are second to none. They are very affordable glasses that are equivalent, if not better, to what you can get at the eye doctor. I didn't want to spend that much money on a new pair and spending the money I did at Zenni was perfect for me. I also found the lost pair on the same day that the Zenni glasses came. However, even though the Zenni's are far, far less than what I paid for the glasses from the optometrist, I like the quality of the Zenni way better.

    I spent just under $20 for the lenses and frames combined, and was blown away by the quality. My glasses are a few months old, and I have been very surprised at the level of quality, which surpasses Costco frames I bought prior to getting these. The antireflective coating has been pretty durable, and although the lenses occasionally pop out during cleaning, they are easily put back. I sat on them once and was able to bend them back into shape pretty easily. We'll see how long they last, but I am pretty optimistic, given my experience so far.

I wish that they would update the feature where I can upload my photo and try on glasses because there are really simple facial recognition algorithms that they could use just to identify where a pair of eyes are in a photo.

    I have been ordering aviators and a bunch of different eyewear styles from Zenni for a few years now. My brother told me about them and they're much cheaper. Their online ordering process is straightforward, but their navigation is a little cumbersome. It would be nice to see all the glasses in one list. So far, their cost is so reasonable that I don't care if some of their glasses break. Besides, the glasses last about three years depending on if you wear them every day or not. My only interaction with their customer service was when I asked if I could get the inverse of my prescription glasses so that people could see what I actually see. They said no, though. Other than that, it would be cool if there was a referral or reference code, even discounts for sending people to Zenni Optical since I’ve turned people on to them multiple times over the years.

    I knew Zenni Optical through my friends and they told me a little bit about the expensive frames. It's also easier to change the frame a little bit without the pain and the high cost of getting designer frames. Hence, I've done the full rim and the sunglasses from them, and I like both of them. The glasses came in the mail, which is how I do most of my shopping. Though it's somewhat a little bit close together, I found a couple of pairs that I like. As far as the frames are concerned, the length is a little bit short. As it's hard to tell sometimes on the website, even if you put your picture in there, it doesn't necessarily give you that feeling of "Oh, they're close together." There are so many things to look over at the website and I like it when they have new glasses, as I usually order the new design from them. The Desert ones right now is there, and it's better than going through all the pages.

All was going well until a particular form was out of stock for almost 3 weeks. Once I tried to add the additional frame and options, adding the promo code from the holiday CYBER, it didn't work. It was expired. I tried the live chat option and was simply told it had expired and that they were NOT going to honor it, even though the frame was out of stock at the time of initial purchase attempt. My advice to you, if you still want to try the affordable Zenni Optical option; use the promo code when it is valid. This company WILL NOT honor their codes no matter the circumstance. I hope this helps future customers to make informed decisions before making their purchases.

    My wife was looking for some inexpensive options to get her glasses and she found Zenni Optical online. They have a great app where you can try on different shapes so that was very helpful. I am nearsighted and I went for the regular prescription glasses. I was surprised because I got the glasses within two weeks although they said it's going to take a month, so I got it sooner than expected. I've already recommended them to a couple of friends.

    I ordered 2 pairs of glasses, same frame, style and prescription but one was tinted for sunglasses. Upon receipt of the glasses, they gave me headaches and I couldn't see well. I was working out of state and couldn't do anything about trying to find out why there was a problem. After returning home I took them to a local eyeglass retailer to have the prescription verified. It was discovered that they were made incorrectly (wrong PD, wrong axis). After calling Zenni to inform them I wanted to return these defective glasses, I was told it was beyond the 30 days and I was stuck with them!

    So… 2 pairs of glasses are GOING IN THE GARBAGE CAN and I will NEVER purchase from them again! It would be one thing if I changed my mind or my prescription changed over time, but to pay for something that was an error on THEIR part in fabrication, then having to take MY time to troubleshoot the problem, only to find out that I have to live with their mistake is completely UNACCEPTABLE and FRAUDULENT as far as I'm concerned.

    Two months ago, I got a pair of rose gold transparent rims from Zenni Optical. I ordered them online and they came really fast. The lenses were weird right at the beginning before my eyes adjusted but they've been great. I was really pleased with how inexpensive they were. Plus, for someone who likes wearing different glasses and accessories, I think they were of great quality. I would have appreciated better sizing so the glasses would fit my face better. I know other websites where you can put in the dimensions of your face. They also have other tools that Zenni doesn't have. Also, the way Warby Parker put names on glasses is really cool and could be beneficial for Zenni.

    I lost two pairs of my glasses because they got stolen at school and I had to pay $200 to replace them.

They give you an outline of how big they want your face so I went through my photos and found one. I can also zoom in and zoom out with my face.

    I browsed through the glasses and then I ordered. I filled up the blanks for my prescription and then they sent me the glasses. The glasses have really good quality. I have a pair that lasted for two years. I’m not careful because they’re not that expensive but they last through all my hammering around. I highly recommend Zenni Optical. If I need a pair of glasses for a specific outfit I would just order them from Zenni and I could get them as cheap as 6.95.

    I received the responses to the return of my order. I understand ZENNI made an error in making the glasses. Yes, ZENNI offered to remake them but at a cost of my losing out if Zenni makes another mistake. This is a chance I can't take. I needed ZENNI's glasses to be correct the first time. I feel it is very poor practice and customer service that because I choose to not have ZENNI remake them since ZENNI made the initial error I have to forfeit half the cost of what I paid! If I made the mistake that's different but ZENNI made the mistake and I can't risk my eyesight if another error is made! I suffered severe eye pain and headaches wearing those glasses! I feel I should have received a FULL REFUND!

    I had to call them back and ask for a refund because the stem was supposed to be all plastic. But there was metal protruding causing my skin to react and it blistered. The prescription was not spot on. I had the same prescription done with LensCrafters and they were not the same. My vision was blurry using Zenni glasses. The delivery has gotten really slow. As if it was intentional. Since they charge extra for early completion, they make you suffer first if you do not pay premium shipping charges.

    I thought I would give them a try. You need to measure carefully and read your scrip carefully. I made 2 mistakes and caught them after careful review. My only complaint was the reader portion. First I may have been off by 1mm (or 2mm at most) on PD. I noticed when I move my head while reading the letters would quickly be out of focus. I compared to my previous pair of glasses and found that the width of the magnifying area on my new glasses was smaller than my old glasses. I could turn my head further to the right and left with my old glasses before the letters were out of focus. Other than that complaint I would buy again.

    I have been using Zenni Optical for five years but this is my first time purchasing sunglasses which I love. The prescription sunglasses I got were amazing.

They’re fine but the top is wider than the bottom. Also, it would be helpful if Zenni has a video of someone putting the glasses on. I had to go to so many YouTubers to finally find one of my glasses that I got. Also, it's extremely helpful if people that buy glasses can submit their video and link. In that way, it’s easy access for us and then Zenni don’t have to do any of the works. Nevertheless, I had a great experience and their affordable price really wins it overall.

    Well, I just donated to Zenni. The first pair prescription lenses was incorrect and it was my fault. The only thing I could do was either get a store credit for the full amount paid minus shipping or get 50% refund minus shipping. I, unfortunately, picked store credit and sent prescription again. Well, they arrived and The prescription was so off I could wear them at all. So, I lost my $131.47. No more returns allowed. I still have a little credit So, I figured I learned my lesson, and I just visited an ophthalmologist for a check up and had them check what Zenni did to the lenses.

    They said the correction for astigmatism was so far off, they questioned whether they bothered to follow prescription, or just didn’t know what they were doing. The lenses are useless to me. I’m going to take a chance and use the frames for new lenses from the doctors office. Of course, they won’t guarantee the frames will hold up to putting new lenses in, so if they crack, that’s on me. If you are nearsighted, have astigmatism, and need progressive lenses to see up close, don’t waste your money on buying glasses and lenses online. Each frame lies differently on your face too, so you really have no idea and no guarantee that Zenni glasses will work. Now I’m out of pocket the $124.02... frames were $25.95. As I said I’m using them for new lenses, but if they break I’ll be out over $1500.

    I decided to try ordering online glasses instead of going to a more expensive local store and I learned my lesson, I will never do that again. First of all, the picture you upload to see yourself in the frames zooms in so much that all you can see is a round face and the frames, no hair or no way to get a true overall perspective. Next, I needed progressive lenses and many of the frames said they would not work for progressives. I finally narrowed my selection down to one frame and held my breath and ordered. Got my glasses and anxiously tried them on. The left eye was ok but I couldn't see out of the right eye. I called customer service and was told that if I paid the return shipping charges, they would test the glasses to verify they were made per the prescription. I was angry that I had to pay the shipping so decided to try wearing the glasses for a couple of days to see if I just needed a period of adjustment.

    Day three, the glasses broke in half so back they went. I received an email a week later telling me that the prescription was fine and that I could order new glasses and again pay the shipping fee, receive a 50% refund or get my glasses back. At this point, I didn't trust Zenni and didn't want to try another pair nor did I want the originals back. I also didn't feel it was fair to only get half of my money back when competitors were giving 100% back. I had posted previously on a Zenni ad that popped up on my Facebook page that I was not happy with the glasses and received a message from Zenni to privately message them with my order number. I did that and waited for 30 hours without a response. I sent another message and got a response saying that the policy was 50% and that was all they could provide.

    I was asked who provided the PD measurement, me or my doctor. I said I did per their instructions. I was asked if I would be willing to go to a local eyeglass store and get them to measure and resubmit...ummmmmm...NO! I sent the prescription that was provided by my eye doctor, I followed Zenni's instructions and they messed up. Apparently, if I needed a simple eyeglass prescription filled, Zenni is a good company to deal with but once I posted my story everywhere that I could think to post it, I started hearing that every person who bought progressive lenses from them had issues. That means that Zenni is making 50% from every person who orders progressive lenses while the customers are getting nothing for the 50% that is withheld. If progressive lenses can't be made by using online forms, Zenni should stop selling them.

    To make matters worse, I then was sent an email from Zenni asking me to rate the glasses. I gave this company a one star rating, told the story about my glasses breaking and that I was very unhappy with their customer service. A few days after providing this review, I returned to the website to see if they had posted it. I was more than a little angry to find that they did post it but they changed the rating from a one star to a two star and deleted all info about the bad customer service. I posted my dissatisfaction on Facebook and received a private message from Zenni stating that they were not able to change people's ratings.

    I copied and pasted the disclaimer from their review page that specifically states "We reserve the right to edit or reject reviews that include inappropriate content, profanity, references to other retailers, pricing, or personal information." After they apologized for my unhappiness, I told them I would be much happier if they would refund the balance of my money and change my review back to what I had actually posted. They told me that they could not do that and ended the conversation. I have also posted a claim with the Better Business Bureau and will never deal with them again.

    Zenni had the $6.95 complete set of glasses which was really cheap. I ordered three pairs of glasses. I got the progressives that were like wire-rim and some reading glasses which were plastic. It was easy to put everything in, however, I had a lot of problems with them and it was not a good experience at all. I was extremely dissatisfied.

    The first pair of the progressives were okay. They came in a couple of weeks. But I had to send the reading glasses back three or four times. They kept messing it up over and over and over again. They did not know how to correctly interpret the prescription. The doctor sent both prescriptions all on one sheet of paper. Their website says that you’re supposed to add the numbers together when you are doing a reading prescription. That’s only if you’re going to do progressives or bifocal. When you’re doing single vision, you don’t add the numbers together. But I didn’t know that, so I followed the directions on their website. And so they were wrong. Zenni is an allure for that cheap price, which you have to go all the way down to the bottom of the page to find it hidden there. It’s not easily found on their website. I feel it's kind of a bait-and-switch because they’re not giving a quality product and their customer service is terrible.

    Now I have a store credit and I don’t know what to do with it because I can’t get my actual money back. They only gave me a store credit for partial refund. If they’re going to do you a refund, they’ll only give you half of your money back which is ridiculous. After all the hassle I went through, I should’ve gotten a full refund back to whatever I paid with. It should’ve been a full refund without question after all this time, having to go back and forth with them. It was all through email and chat and it was always a different person. Someone else would respond every time I would email, and they didn’t have very strong English. They didn’t seem to read and understand the details of the message. I would say something in there, and then they would answer something different. It’s like they didn’t get the point of what was being communicated in the first place.

    I ordered from other places before, and the process had no problems whatsoever. They know how to read the prescription correctly. They make you send the copy of it in, and they verify before they make them so you don’t run into problems like this. I would never buy from Zenni again. I’ll go back to one of the other ones even though it’s a little more expensive because Zenni isn’t worth the hassle. I needed my glasses right away, and it took a couple of months before I got them.

I’ve been ordering from them for about two years now and the process is easy. The first time I ordered, the measurement that they asked me to do was a little confusing. But with the first order, they send a little plastic care glasses, so that helps a lot.

    I usually get the large round glasses or the cat-eye because I have a round face so I can’t wear square. I get them whenever I have extra money or if I want some sunglasses. You really can’t beat the $4 and it's like any pair of sunglasses. Zenni is cheaper than any place you can go to. If purchasing online is a little harder for you, it will most definitely be worth it once you get the glasses on. Zenni doesn't ship out quickly though. I always want the shipping to be faster because once I pay for it, I immediately want it in my hands. I love Zenni Optical but a lot of people don’t know about them. I work in customer service, and some really like my glasses. I tell them to go online and order them, and most of the time, they have never heard of this place.

    I wanted to try some different styles but I didn't want to pay a fortune for glasses. My sister told me about Zenni Optical which has good prices so it's a way for me to try some different styles without having to commit to a crazy price and be stuck with them. I've ordered from Zenni twice now and I did everything online. Navigating their website was really easy. I was able to find the style I was thinking of. There was a trendy button which took me to the trending frames right now. It took me 10 minutes to do everything.

    When I ordered my first pair, I just needed something because my dog chewed up the lenses of my old pair. The frames are insured with my doctor but I did not want to spend almost $200 on a new pair of glasses so I just ordered a normal style pair and I really liked them. I also wanted to try some of the more stylish glasses rather than just wearing my plain square ones. And Zenni has good prices so I ordered another pair a few weeks later and I really liked those as well. I recommend them to everybody who wants to get new glasses. However, I wish that they have safety glasses with the sight shield and the safety lenses. I would definitely order a pair because I work in a manufacturing plant and I hate the safety glasses I have to wear there. Zenni did safety glasses but they're like the goggles and I don't wear them with the goggles on.

    I saw the price and I couldn’t believe it. It was amazing. I put an order in and when the first pair of glasses came in, they were great. I just bought a minimum of 5 pairs for about a hundred dollars that I would normally spend on a regular pair of glasses. I usually mixed my purchases up. I don’t like rimless. The half rim is pretty nice and I also like the full rim. Because I’ve been able to have the same prescription for 6 years now, at this point I just give myself variety more than just I need a new pair of glasses. It's more like accessorizing.

    I was really impressed with the very person I bought my order in. I had one of their customer service reps ask me, “Can you send me a copy of your prescription to make sure that those are the things exactly how you wrote it?” I did and then they confirmed it was right at how we have thought was in the order. They wanted to make sure that I was getting what I was supposed to be getting. It’s been perfect. Everything usually arrives on time or early. All my glasses have always been what I ordered and shipped exactly how I thought they would. I’ve been using Zenni for about 5-6 years and sometimes I feel the website is much more optimized. Zenni is doing an amazing job. When I see anybody who has glasses, I asked them “How much are those glasses, $400? Here you go. Use this website. At least check them out.”

    I heard about Zenni Optical from a passerby who happened to use the site and I haven’t heard of any others that could do the same thing. It was a good idea so I tried them. I've made a total of four purchases and three of them were due to trying to get the lens correct as I wasn't quite familiar with the tint at all. For my first purchase, I had a sunglass pinned to it and it didn't make sense. They said that the sunglass lens was an 85% but when it came in, it was lighter than the normal 80% lenses. Polarized lenses have less tint and they even had a 90% but I was looking for darker ones. I ended up getting another pair of the original tint of 80% because that first pair that I got had really weird thin scratches that made it very foggy to see through.

    I reached back out to Zenni to look into getting them returned but I wasn’t planning on waiting for however long it would be for the lenses or the frames to get back, or store credits that I could use to buy the pair that I wanted. It was very inexpensive so I didn’t look too much at it. The second pair I got made more sense but I was going for a very specific lens type and the third one I got had a sunglass lens.

    The people from Zenni explained about their product, then I got a pair of backups for the glasses I got and they’re holding up okay. The frames of the pair that I'm using right now are plastic and they hold on to the lenses well but there’s still space in between the lenses. Also, the frames will creak under any pressure and you could pinch on the lenses. Then, the arms and the frames use a regular metal hinge and there is not enough spring to it, so one side is a lot looser than the other and it swings freely. In contrast, the right side is very stiff so when you open them up, it will hold the arm out. You have to play some sort of game to make sure that the other one stays open so you can put it on your face and not poke your eyes out. Overall, I'm happy with my experience with Zenni. They’re very simple to work with but there should be some more explanation on the product.

    I love the frames I purchased from Zenni and I loved the price. After reading the reviews, I chose not to have them do my lenses. I wear progressives and just didn't feel comfortable that they would get them right. So, It took forever to get the frames I ordered. When I order from Coastal, I get the glasses lenses and all in under a week. These took three weeks. Second, one of the pairs I ordered did not work and I called to return them for an exchange blah blah blah. The customer service was horrible. I literally decided that for the $12 I paid for the frames, I was better off throwing them away or donating them than I was trying to get a refund.

    I have worn glasses pretty much all my life, and have worn multiple different styles and designers. Long story short, the frameless glasses that I just purchased from Zenni were perfect! MUCH BETTER THAN I HAD ANTICIPATED! I looked at the same style of glasses 2 years ago, but decided against buying them due to the cost being well over $300, with my insurance. The ones I just purchased from Zenni were the same style, and with several of the optional services (upgraded UV etc.) and upgraded shipping, and they were less than $48! More importantly, they fit perfectly, and feel great! So, all of you out there that want to complain about your sub $50 pair of glasses, because they don’t fit; maybe it’s due to user error. Lastly, if you aren’t happy with them, you can send them back and they’ll fix them! Wake up people! These are GREAT DEALS!

    I got glasses from LensCrafters and I really liked them but they were about $300. When I heard about Zenni, I decided to check the prices and they were great. There were styles that I really liked and I decided to give it a shot. I got a pair of progressive bifocals and sunglasses from them. I used their website and everything was cool. The sunglasses were perfect. The only thing that was hard for me was measuring the pupillary distance. It was hard to get the right numbers staring into a mirror. The first time I did it, I got it wrong. I figured out pretty quickly that was wrong since none of the glasses were in that range. I didn’t think my eyes were that weird other than being severely nearsighted. So, I measured it again and the second time I got it. The last time I got glasses though, I got a little card that’s just for measuring pupillary distance. Next time I’m going to use that. It’s easier to use so I can double check the distance.

    Also, one thing that was a pleasant surprise was getting the hard case. They sell cases online but since they’re cloth bags, I was going to get a hard case to hold the glasses. They might want to mention on their site that those come with the glasses or make it clearer as I might have missed it. But I’ve already recommended Zenni to a friend. They’re very simple to get glasses from and they offer a lot of choices.

    I’ve been using Zenni for a couple of years. I use them and Warby so it’s just between the two. Zenni's pricing has been very competitive. The reps have been accommodating and helpful. The only issue I had was if you order clip-on shades, they don’t show you what you’re getting, and if I saw what I was ordering or what I was requesting I wouldn’t have ordered it. I didn’t like the style and I didn’t like the fit. The one aspect that I would choose a different service like Warby Parker over them is that Home Try-On. But with their home try-on service, their styles don’t really update like Zenni’s do. That’s a give and take. Other than that, everything came as I ordered and it came in quick. Zenni has a lot more style than one of the other places do. It’s a lot more affordable, so if you’re buying more than a couple, it helps.

I'd rather order glasses online and wait a week for them to come in even though my eyesight is very bad.

    Zenni's customer service was great, and the online ordering process was very simple. It would be complicated to other people because a lot of them don't know the measurement between their two eyes. But I just had to get a ruler and measure my eye. The glasses were mailed, and I got them after a week. I'm not too picky about how my glasses really look like. I would purchase the glasses regardless and then if I don't like them, I'll still wear them. I would definitely recommend Zenni, and I've recommended them to a lot of my friends because they would go somewhere else for the glasses and it would be $60 for two pairs when they can get two pairs for $20 at Zenni.

All my orders were as expected and their cost is awesome because I bought glasses through my insurance at my eye doctor’s which I paid $200 for and they’re literally the same thing as the ones I got from Zenni. So the reason why so many people shop with Zenni is because their prices are what glasses should cost. It should be a maximum of $50, not hundreds of dollars. But if they start raising their prices, people are going to shop elsewhere. My mom had gone to Costco and they wanted $700 for the no-line progressive bifocals she wears. But I was able to get her some cute glasses from Zenni. They also give the best deal on sunglasses.

Not only did they look wrong but I COULDN'T SEE!

If it was a manufacture's mistake they would give me a full refund. I did and also paid the cost of a second appointment out of my own pocket. At that appointment my PD was correct or as close as it could get without 1/2 sizes because Zenni does not offer half size distance.

    My Doctor said that the lenses were incorrectly made & I should return them. I did so (again at my own expense) and explained to them everything I was told at my appointment. I received an email stating they didn't believe that it was a manufacture's mistake and will not refund me %100. They will give me %100 store credit or %50 refund.

Even with my proof from my optometrist, that they were incorrectly made. I was refused a refund after stating they would refund me. I called my bank to dispute the charges.

Online ordering is pretty straightforward and I never had any issues. Entering the prescription might seem a little confusing because it’s not something the average person normally does though. The glasses are really good. It’s worth it. If I could compare my first pair of Zenni Optical glasses to my first expensive pair of glasses, they’re better quality and last longer than big name glasses. Before I bought from Zenni Optical , I bought a pair of Versace and they were $400. I still have them but I’ve had to tighten the screws and one of the lenses fell out. I use them just to go out on special occasions.

    I still have my first pair of Zenni Optical glasses and they are fine. I’ve scratched up a couple of pairs most likely because I’ve dropped them, but it’s no biggie. Everyone that I tell about Zenni Optical were like, “No way” and then when they order and finally receive their first pair, they always come back to me and tell me they're going to order 10 pairs. I can go to Zenni Optical and get eight pairs or probably even more for what I pay for the big name brands.

    I liked Zenni Optical's selection and prices. They had the best deal and I ordered my first pair two years ago. The website was very straightforward as well as easy and simple to use. I now have two pairs that are both half-rimmed. One I wear for going out and casual and the other is more business for everyday. Zenni Optical is the perfect resource for glasses and my experience with them has always been positive.

    I had my glasses less than thirty days. The frames string broke while wearing and the lens dropped and I was not able to find it. When I called Zenni customer service the person told me because I lost the lens I wasn't taking care of my glasses and isn't covered, So $100 for less than a months use. He didn't even offer a quote to get them fixed. Maybe it's a good thing because I would be putting more money into JUNK glasses.

    At first glance the eye glasses looked really cheap and the offer was lucrative. I use progressive and ordered two pairs from Zenni. I ordered two pairs for about $130 each with the best of the glasses (1.67 Digital Free Form Progressive (No-line multi-focal)). In less than a year I was having blurry vision when I used to wear these. I had cleaned then with lens cleaning wipes and they still seem to be blurry and see bright circle around lights.

    When contacted customer service they asked me to send the glasses for inspection and then returned them back after 3 week and sent me an email "We have received your return for order **. After inspecting the lenses, we have determined the lenses are heavily scratched through wear and tear. We are unable to find any defects regarding the Anti-Reflective coating. The order is considered out of the 30 day warranty. We can return this pair of glasses to you or we can discard them for donation. Please contact us ASAP so we can determine what you would like us to do. Our address is Zenni Optical, **. Please contact us if you have any questions. 800-211-2105 Phone | 415-883-7020 Fax." So beware that your $130 will last you just an year. Rather I would go to Costco and pay an extra $50 to $100 more and be at peace. Oh and I forgot to mention the poor customer service which they have.

The latest ones I got were black full rim glasses and they had a blue color on the inside. I go more for a classic design and I don't like the rim-less, and I go for the acrylic. My favorite pair's side pieces are black and the front is kind of a clear acrylic with a pink tint with black dots. And I get tons of compliments on these glasses. I've only had to send back one pair of glasses and I got a total credit and I used it again. Zenni is working for me and I keep telling people where I get my glasses.

    Zenni Optical sent me a replacement pair of glasses so my faith in the company has been restored. Based on their response I would purchase from them again. I'm upgrading my review to four stars.

    Original Review: Oct. 3, 2017

    I have been a Zenni customer since 2013 and have ordered three pair of prescription eyeglasses from them. The first pair from 2013 were excellent and still in great condition today. The second pair was ordered in 2016 and arrived in good condition. A little over a year later the right lens cracked in the upper left corner near the bridge after a year's use so I thought it must have been an anomaly so in July of 2017 I ordered another pair. They arrived in good condition but just over the 30-day warranty the right lens cracked in the same place as the previous pair even though the frames were different styles. I contacted Zenni and they asked me to send them back for inspection. It took two and a half weeks after they received them for me to be informed the right lens was cracked in the corner and they were out of warranty. The bottom line here is Zenni's quality has degraded significantly. So, Buyer Beware!

    This company is not interested in keeping their customers. I was unhappy with my purchase but admittedly, did not call within the warranty period. When I called, I was looking for some kind of incentive to give them a try again. If they had offered me the standard 10% off with an order, I would have tried them again. The supervisor I spoke to kept repeating that I did not respond within the 30 days so there was nothing that he could do. It seems to me that, given that this was the second time I had ordered from Zenni and that I called back to give the company another opportunity for me to send my money to them, the company would be interested in keeping me as a customer. I will deal with a local company that is interested in my business.

    I was referred by one of Zenni Optical’s customers and it took me a long time to come around actually ordering from them but when I did, I loved them. I like their half rim and full rim glasses. I used to purchase the Ray-Ban Clubmasters and those used to cost me $150 and on top of that, the actual lenses. In the end, I’m looking at a $300 frame but the one I purchased from Zenni only cost me $35 in total and they hold up just as good as the Ray-Ban Clubmasters.

    The first time I purchased from Zenni was on my phone and their website was easy to navigate. It's a really cool website and you just search and everything popped up. I had to call them before because I wanted to update my purchase and add two more frames. I went through customer service and they helped me out really great. On my second order though, my prescription came back a little messed up. One pair of glasses had a different prescription. The prescription was off by one grade but it wasn't that bad, so I kept them. Also, on my birthday, it was cool that they sent me a gift for a free pair of tempered glasses. I've always recommended them to other people.

    I had been frustrated for a little while because I know how expensive glass frames are and as soon as my friends told me about Zenni Optical, it opened up a whole new world. I get new frames every six months at least compared to before wherein it was years before I got new ones because they cost so much. My experience with Zenni Optical was awesome. I always get my glasses from them now. In fact, I've ordered from them six times now. I like to mix the style up a little bit and I change my regular frames once a year. Then I usually get some prescription sunglasses with different frames. Ordering online has been easier for me because I had my prescription ready. That's the more difficult part of the ordering process but it wouldn't be too hard to go to the eye doctor and ask them for a prescription. So far, my experience with Zenni is perfect the way it is right now.

    I normally get my glasses at Costco. Then I tried out Zenni Optical and I had a super easy experience with them. The online ordering process was pretty comprehensive and their website’s well done. The only issue I had was measuring my pupillary distance. Zenni provided a cool tool that you print out. However, it’s hard to measure the pupillary distance with the paper ruler accurately especially if you're taking into consideration that one eye may be farther away from the dead center of your face than the other. So, there's nothing that Zenni can do unless they invent something to ship to the customer first, but that's going to incur cost. It would be a good idea if Zenni would notate there to have an optometrist measure your pupillary distance so you don't have to go somewhere to have it done.

    So, even with the tool, I managed to mess that up. I had my pupillary distance measured by my optometrist at 68 and I put in 72. So, I probably need to reorder the glasses with the right Pupillary distance. But besides that, there's nothing that they did wrong. Zenni provided exactly what I asked for. I purchased a pair of half-rim glasses in gold metal frame because I like the way they looked. I've had them for a couple of months now and I'm very satisfied with Zenni. I intend on ordering another pair.

    I was in the market for a new pair of glasses and I saw Zenni's ad online. The glasses were really cheap and because I was in a budget, I chose to buy from them. I had worn prescription glasses since I was in my fifth grade and they easily cost a couple of hundred dollars even with insurance. I lost my Ethical Insurance at work, so Zenni was very appealing. I'm wearing a pair of Zenni right now and I really like them.

    But my first pair had trouble with the frame and it fell apart almost immediately. One of the sides didn’t screw and kept popping out like I'd lose a lens. I called Zenni and they sent me a new frame to try. It wasn’t as strong as some of my previous glasses and I even put a tiny drop of glue on it to hold it through. I continued to have trouble with it even though I managed to tighten it up, but I settled with it and wore it for about two years. The lenses got scratched and they were out the coding even though I treated them for a while. But for $20, two years was fine.

    Then I got two pairs from Zenni this time and I liked their quality. It was better. The glasses had a wire frame and it was the first time I had worn a Tordis. It's a plastic full frame just for fun or something different. I even got the blue lens protect for the blue light protection because I wanted to get the insurance. They were comfortable and more protection was good. My prescription hardly changed as well when I got it.

    Ordering from Zenni was easy. Their website had plenty of details and it was sufficient. But when I tried to find a pair of the blue light protective for my kids, there was no prescription at all. I narrowed down the search and tried to find a pair of $6.99 frames for them because I saw an ad that said “Zenni, $6.99” but I couldn’t find any and had a hard time. It would be nice to have a basic frame without spending a ton of money and to have a protective lens for the times that my kids work on a screen or even watch a program on TV. I have a kindergartner and a toddler and I don’t want them to sit and work on a phone or play a game too much.

    Searching through their website was also harder since I didn’t have a reliable Wi-Fi at the house and we're out in the country. So I used my phone for the data and went through page after page after page and it was tiring. There has to be a way to search better. Otherwise, I'm very happy with Zenni. Glasses could be a hit or miss, but I was pleased with what I came back with. I've also recommended them to other people.

    Zenni sells a poor quality frameless pair of glasses. My pair lasted less than two months before breaking at the screw that attaches to the lens. No warranty after 30 days.

    I have been using Zenni since January 2015. I have purchased 9 pairs of glasses from them. Until now, I have been satisfied with the glasses and their customer service. One pair I purchased was a pair of sunglasses with a blue tint and an anti-glare coating. The anti-glare coating appears to have melted and it is impossible to see clearly through the lenses. These glasses were purchased in 2016 and so out of the one year warranty for the coating. I understand Zenni's need to limit their warranty period as they are a discount eyeglass provider. I don't understand their total lack of regard for wanting to determine the cause of this coating failure.

    I didn't want this to happen again. I see from other reviews that this coating failure is not an unusual occurrence. I view a lack of concern for product quality a cutoff point in dealing with a company. Their lack of concern is a recent manifestation. I don't know if the company has been bought by another more greedy company or what, but they are not the same company. Perhaps they have become too successful. There are several other companies out there providing the same product and much better customer service. I suggest dealing with them instead of Zenni.

Later on, problems with the frame, and extra fees to adapt the glasses for the prescription. They advise you with number score the frames... So, when I receive it, one pair of glasses was too lose for my mom's head, and the other one was too tight. The frame they advise me was for a kid.

    I returned the glasses, and demanded my money back. They emailed me that half will be store credit and half will be refunded, and it wasn't true. All the money was on a store credit, so I'm been force to purchase again from then. 2 weeks ago I reorder with a agent again, this, but same problem. The frame is not the right frame for the prescription, and advise me others, that won't fit my mom's face, later on. I have to choose height index for those glasses because they were going to be thick, so, I paid the extra $29.99.

    I bought two pairs of individual single lens glasses from Zenni, two separate orders. And I wanted it to be photo chromatic which means transition. They shipped me two different shipments. I got one pair but they weren't photo chromatic so I got an RE and sent them back. They said they're lapsed as they're advertised. And then I called my bank, Wells Fargo, and they cancelled all charges.

    I gave Zenni a second chance. I ordered the same prescription, same frame, exactly the same. I got them but they were not photo chromatic. I called and talked to their customer service and they told me that to activate the glasses, it needs to be put in the freezer for 30 minutes and then laid out in the sun for 45 minutes. I have two masters in Georgia Tech and that sounds like a load of bull. I've had photo chromatic glasses from Pearl Vision in the past and I used to have transition type glasses and I'm well aware of those. But with these guys they don't call it transition and they call it photo chromatic for some reason. I even have a friend who's an eye doctor who said they're not photo chromatic. They also charged me $166 just for that one option. I told them to just give me an RE number and I'll send these back, which I did. Then I had the second charge removed from my bank account.

Now, I ordered progressive lens glasses in June, and this pair was OK'd by China, but I had to return them because they were not right. Zenni has confirmed that they are not correct and are remaking. Because of the continued hardship and inconvenience that I had experienced with Zenni, I requested a refund as compensation in addition to a remake of the glasses.
