Great!

Very lightweight! I wish I had gotten the oil resistant coating, though. It's not easy to clean.

My new glasses
August 22, 2022

I thought the ordering process was easy. Customer service was very helpful with the measurements. The glasses were made very quickly but took longer than I expected to arrive. When I called customer service they said they were coming from overseas and would start to
Track once they were in the US. I don't know that I would have chosen to order if I knew this was the case. The website indicates they are manufactured in the US. Shipping label had a third location, also not mentioned on website.

Zenni customer Service offered me to return the glasses and receive store credit. That was a great solution.

Thank you for posting your Zenni review of the first pair of eyeglasses it appears that you ordered from us.

We were sorry to read that the frame you selected for your single-vision eyeglasses – full-rim, rectangular, flexible-plastic, black and green Kids’ frame 2021721, with a frame width of 116 millimeters – was too small to fit you well.

Consequently, we apologize for any disappointment you experienced as a result.

Nevertheless, we were happy to read that you are pleased with the customer service you received regarding this matter.

However, we do not see in the notes in the database record of the order any indication that the customer service representative who assisted you advised of 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-.

We hope that this information is helpful, and we look forward to receiving the returned eyeglasses in frame 2021721, so that we may issue the store credit refund, and you may use the store credit toward the payment of your next order, which, if you use the instructions in the How to Measure Your Frame Size infographic, we hope you will be prepared to select a frame on your next order that will fit you well.

My order came in quicker than expected and my son was able to have his glasses before school started. My saved prescription made it quick and easy to order.

A catchy title

Pretty good glasses. The frames were a little pinchy at first but I think my face has worn into them.

Estoy muy satisfecho con mi compra,
Excepto por el fotocromado, (photochromic). No se oscurece lo suficiente, queda de un tono muy claro
Y no protege la vista.

Okay experience
August 22, 2022

I didn't realize till later the glasses are a little smaller than I expected and they feel tight even after loosening them. But they are wearable and i will keep them.

Great quality, fast delivery
August 22, 2022

Zenni's allows a quick and efficient shopping experience for frames that feel they are specifically catered to you! I used their virtual try-on function and found the frames best suited to me. Before I knew it, the frames were here and in perfect condition. Highly recommend ordering trendy, inexpensive, and high-quality glasses from here.

Very comfortable eyewear
August 22, 2022

I had eye strain prior to this pair of glasses. It is amazing how well it blocks light rays and so I purchased for office work, I was originally going to wear them only for computer use. However, due to excellent coverage and comfortable fit, I am now wearing them as my everyday pair of glasses. Thank you.
