I used the zenni try on tool since obviously I don't know if some online frames would work for my face. The try on tool seemed nice and the glasses worked however when I received them, they seem to be made for a child and they are so small!
I receive the order but I cannot see out of the lenses
Thank you for posting your Zenni review.
We were sorry to read that you cannot see through the lenses of your single-vision eyeglasses, and we apologize for any disappointment you experienced as a result.
We do not see any previous orders placed by you, so we regret that we cannot compare the prescription and pupillary distance (PD) you used on this order with those items on a previous pair of eyeglasses with which you could see well.
Your order, which you placed on July 18,2022, was delivered to you on July 27,2022, according to the U.S. Postal Service website.

In addition, please have a copy of the prescription you used to place the order handy when you call, because the customer service representative who answers will ask you to confirm that you entered the prescription correctly.
If the PD is not on the prescription, please be prepared to confirm how it was obtained – self measurement, friend or family member measurement, or eye doctor measurement.
If you confirm that you entered the prescription and PD correctly, we will email you instructions inviting you to return the glasses to us for an inspection. We will also email you a prepaid mailing label to use for return postage.
If our inspection finds any manufacturing errors on the glasses, we can offer to remake them for you for free.
However, if you read us the prescription and it turns out that something was entered incorrectly on the order, we will email you instructions to return the eyeglasses to us for one of our two refund options – either a 100 percent refund of the price of the glasses in the form of store credit to your Zenni account or a 50 percent refund to the credit card you used to pay for the order.

Answer: Hi. We are sorry to tell you that we have recently and temporarily discontinued delivery to Spain. We hope to ship there again soon and we encourage you to check our website frequently to see when it is available again.
Answer: I had no problem with returning my initial pair of glasses. I contacted customer service via online chat and explained my reason for return and I was told I would receive 100% credit that could be applied to my reorder. I followed the return instructions given and kept track via USPS and the transaction went smoothly without any glitches.
Answer: Hi Reginald, thank you for your question! We do not manufacture only lenses, or lenses for non-Zenni frames. I am sorry about any inconvenience!
Answer: Hi. Yes, store credit is one of the options available when you contact us during the 30-day warranty period. And our Customer Service department will be eager to help you with the return. Please call us at 1-800-211-2105, email us at [email protected], or chat with us live by clicking on the floating Support button that appears near the bottom-right corner of any page on our website and a representative will issue a return authorization number and provide return instructions.
Answer: Hi. Progressive lenses contain three viewing areas: distance-, intermediate-, and near-vision - the distance vision area is near the top of the lens, the near vision area is at the bottom, and the intermediate vision area is in the middle. The clear viewing area is located in the central "corridor" of the lenses, so there can be a noticeable but expected blur when looking toward the edges of the lenses. Due to this design, and because there are slight differences between progressive lenses across brands, someone new to wearing progressive lenses may initially experience some difficulty adjusting to them; likewise, someone who is already accustomed to wearing one brand of progressive lenses may have some difficulty adjusting if they switch to a different brand, and they will find that it it will take some time to become accustomed to the new lenses. Despite the period of adaptation needed, we are happy to report that we do not receive a disproportionate number of complaints about our progressive lenses. However, we don't ever want to assume that needing time to adjust to the lenses is the only reason a customer could be having difficulty with their glasses; consequently, if you have recently purchased progressive lenses, and have problems seeing clearly through them, we encourage you to contact our Customer Service department at 1-800-211-2105. Doing so will give us an opportunity to address the issue and to offer you a proper resolution. Thank you for posting your question.
Answer: I had the same experience. Very disappointing. When I called about the problem they questioned the accuracy of my prescription. I was able to return them for a Zenni credit, less shipping costs. Waiting to see if the second pair is better...
Answer: Yes, it costs a little more for bifocal lenses. It does not however cost as much as it does in a typical eyeglass office/store.
Answer: None. There is no guarantee on anything (lenses or frames) beyond 30 days.
Our factory-direct, online model allows us to offer all the same high-quality lens options that you’d get from an optician and traditional brick & mortar retail at 1/10th of the price.

Thank you for posting your Zenni review of the single-vision eyeglasses with gray photochromic (light-sensitive, auto-tinting) lenses and our Blokz® blue-light-blocking feature.
We were sorry to read that the frame you selected – full-rim, cat-eye, flexible-plastic, tortoiseshell frame 2023925, with a frame width of 130 millimeters – is too small to fit you well.
Consequently, we apologize that the Virtual Try-On feature did not accurately convey how small they would be when you received them.
Nevertheless, this order is within its 30-day warranty period, which starts the day the glasses are delivered.
Therefore, you may return them to us for one of our two refund options – either a 100 percent refund of the price of the glasses in the form of store credit to your Zenni account or a 50 percent refund to the credit card you used to pay for the order.
If you select the 100 percent store credit refund, and you plan to use the store credit toward the purchase of a new pair of eyeglasses that will fit you well, we want to recommend the information provided in an infographic found toward the middle of the bottom of every page of our website, How to Measure Your Frame Size: https://www.zennioptical.com/measure-eyeglass-frame-size-how-to.
This infographic explains how to measure the dimensions of each element of a pair of eyeglasses you have now that fits you well and looks good on your face, so that you may shop for a frame on our website with similar dimensions, which can be seen under the enlarged picture of the frame on our website, under Details.
It does not have to be an exact match. You have a 2-mm leeway on each element of an eyeglasses frame, with a 3-4 mm leeway on the temple arms. We also have information in our Help Center that is very useful for determining the frame size you need for a frame to fit you well: https://help.zennioptical.com/hc/en-us/articles/360049904633-How-Do-I-Find-My-Frame-Size-.
