Great glasses
March 15, 2022

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.

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.

Frames to dark

Vision is terrific, would prefer a lighter grey color combination.

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.

Never go anywhere else again
March 15, 2022

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.

Progressive lenses
March 15, 2022

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!

For the price, you can't beat it. I just got new brand name glasses from my eye doc and I honestly like one of my Zenni glasses better.
