I need to tweak my prescription but the glasses are awesome! Great fit, love the color!
My daughter is 12 and I ordered the glasses for her, the glasses I had to get for her PD were so tight on the back of her ears they created sore spots I had to bend them way out almost breaking on of them so they wouldn't be so tight anymore.
I love all my Zenni glasses! They are affordable and there is so much variety to pick from!
The Zenni website, product quality, prescription accuracy, value, and speed of delivery are excellent. I have recommended this company to many people.
I love everything about this company from its customer service to its website to its glasses. I have used them a few times now. Their customer service is the best. Will continue to use them.
This has been the only place I get my glasses for the past 5 years. Love them!
I've only had my glasses for a couple of weeks, but so far I'm very happy with them, as well as with my experience with Zenni. The process was simple and efficient, and my glasses are exactly what I expected. Time will tell if they hold up, but to this point I see no reason to think I'll have any issues with them.
I'll buy here again!
Great! Except this survey requires more characters then me simply writing "great!
Like the glasses and have received many compliments about them. As is always the case the ordering process and delivery are simple and accurate. A way to recycle prescriptions that are out dated would be a great service that Zenni might want to consider.
Great experience, not as happy with the selection this time though.
Thank you for posting your Zenni review of your order for single-vision eyeglasses in full-rim, square, flexible-plastic, melon-colored frame 2030342, with a frame width of 143 millimeters. We were sorry to learn that the frame is bigger than you had expected it to be, and we apologize for any disappointment you experienced as a result. This order is within its 30-day warranty period, which starts the day the glasses are delivered. Therefore, you may return these 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 them. If you select the store credit refund option, you may use the store credit toward the purchase of a new pair of eyeglasses that should fit you better. If you would like to pursue ordering a new pair of eyeglasses and using the store credit toward the payment, we want to recommend the information we provide 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-. We hope that this information is helpful. If you would like to return these eyeglasses for one of our two refund options, 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, o2070257562, 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.
I had picked the wrong formula for my work glass distance and I had no problem sending them back in and getting a refund and ordering the medium range glasses instead
I have ordered from Zenni several times and am always satisfied with my purchase! Absolutely loved my two newest pairs! I would recommend reading reviews on each product, if possible as I did order a pair of glasses that were ridiculously small for my face. Luckily, it was an inexpensive lesson, as their prices are phenomenal!
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 eyeglasses you ordered for your 12-year-old daughter in full-rim, browline, mixed-material, black and gold frame 1913121, with a frame width of 126 millimeters. We were sorry to learn that the temple arms were tight behind her ears, and we apologize for any dismay you and she experienced as a result. However, it was good to read that you were able to bend the temple arms outwardly to enable your daughter to wear the eyeglasses more comfortably.
