The site was easy to navigate and use. Processing was fairly quick. Shipping was prompt. Items were exactly what i ordered and they fit better than I expected. Will be a repeat customer.
I have ordered from Zenni twice. The prescription has been correct, and glass frames fit really well. I did have a pair of frames that were slightly bent, but I just contacted customer service and they resolved the issue quickly. I would say they offer excellent customer service, and I will def continue to order from Zenni, and avoid the big rip-off at the big stores.
Great price, good service, fast delivery what more hold you ask for.
The eyeglasses that I ordered Was great. Thank you so much
They were purple instead of black disappointed i had to paint them myself
Thank you for posting your Zenni review of your first order with us, standard progressive eyeglasses with gray photochromic (light-sensitive, auto-tinting) lenses and our Blokz® blue-light-blocking feature. We were delighted to read that you are satisfied with your vision through the lenses, but we were sorry to read that the frame you selected – full-rim, round, acetate, spring-hinged, streaked gray “smoke” colored frame 4426612, with a frame width of 138 millimeters – is darker than you prefer. Consequently, we apologize for any disappointment you experienced as a result. Unfortunately, this frame does not come in another, lighter, gray model, just one in latte tortoiseshell (4426635). Therefore, if this issue is such that, despite your good vision through the lenses, you would like to return these standard progressive photochromic eyeglasses 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 – we invite you to telephone Zenni Customer Service, at 1-800-211-2105, and anyone who answers will be eager to assist you with emailed instructions to return the glasses for the refund option you select. We will also email you a prepaid mailing label to use for return postage. If the wait to speak with a customer service representative is lengthy, you may have an online chat with us by clicking the button labeled Support, at the lower right-hand corner of every Zenni page. You may also email us, at [email protected], and if you choose this communication method, please put your order number, o4560415132, in the subject line of the email, and in the body of the email please advise of the refund option you prefer. We will email you the instructions to return the glasses to us for the refund option you select, and we will also email you the prepaid mailing label. We very much hope to hear back from you, so that we may resolve this matter to your satisfaction.
Stylish glasses great price, I have been ordering from Zenni Optical for years and I have almost 20 pairs of their glasses that match with all my outfits and I love them. I haven't had an issue with them not fitting right or breaking.
Very easy and fast. Highly recommend! Navigating through the site and purchase was very customer friendly. Any questions or concerns were answered right away. Customer service is key and zenni is doing it right!
Great glasses. I love the sunglasses slip-on. Who knew they made me fashionable? I plan to order a pair of my blue light glasses for every day I love them so much. Most importantly they were on time and I was kept up to date on any issues. My husband ordered his from a shop and he's not having the same experience, to say the least.
They are exactly what I ordered and I'm glad they got me better than my last pair, I just wish shipping didn't take so long.
My family uses Zenni all the time. We're always satisfied.
I was somewhat skeptical how this would go as I wear progressive lenses. I was pleasantly surprised that my new glasses are just right for my vision. I just need to get the arms adjusted and I'll be all set!
Very pleasant experience. Glasses were received and what I expected. Thank you!
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 color of the frame you selected – full-rim, round, plastic, black frame 126921, with purple and black temple arms and a frame width of 134 millimeters. We were sorry to read that apparently you did not view the enlarged picture of the frame using the 360° view, which would have shown that the temple arms are purple and black. Consequently, we apologize for any disappointment you experienced as a result. Nevertheless, we hope that painting over the purple on the temple arms with black paint resolved this issue to your satisfaction, and we hope that otherwise you are satisfied with these single-vision distance eyeglasses.
