They're cute but small
March 31, 2022

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.

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.

Very happy so far
March 1, 2022

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!

Upgrade to current rx
March 1, 2022

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.

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.

Love them!
March 1, 2022

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!
