My glasses were perfect and they have great customer service! Zenni is the only place I shop for glasses.
Shipping was really fast! Will order from you again.
Zenni is part of my savings plan. Wonderful assortment of frames with measurements and information to get a frame that is right for my face. They never messed up my prescription, which Walmart managed to do (unusual vision problem.) If/when I lose my eyeglasses, the good prices make it painless to replace them. I have been using for many years.
We were very pleased with the process, the price and the product
I have two pairs and my wife has 3, the quality is good and the price is low enough that we can have many pairs to match our wardrobes, not possible with any other optical company.
I was able to buy affordable flexible frame glasses without insurance.
Fun to try on all the choices, and glasses were shipped very quickly. I've ordered 3 pair of Zenni glasses, and I have been very happy with my choices.
Quick delivery, super affordable and they fit better than most I've ever gotten from an Optometrist in person. I also like the fact there are SO MANY options to choose from!
Frames are nice. Sturdy and a great price Fast delivery
I've ordered several pairs of glasses and all have fit perfectly the prescriptions were great and the I received them in a timely manner. I have recommended Zenni to my friends and family.
Easy ordering experience and shipping was fast. I love my glasses.
Great price, great product. Quick delivery. Good customer service.
It was easy, no issues, and I'll order again.
The selection is good. The shipping was fast. Fit was perfect.
These are the first frames I've purchased with Zenni and I'm very pleased and satisfied. I've received several compliments on these frames. They're great quality and they look and feel amazing on.
Everything was exactly as described. Package arrived on time and the glasses are great.
I ordered back on the 16th of December. Tried to cancel as they sent me an email that they weren't at the distribution center yet. They won't give you your money back, just a store credit. I will go back to EyeBuyDirect next time.
Great fast service at an affordable price. This is my go to site for stylish eyewear.
I love my new glasses. I love the price and the quality.
We love our glasses! My daughter gets lots of compliments on them and they were way less expensive than what they would have been if we bought glasses from the eye doctor. However, the ordering process took way longer and a lot more thought than I expected. We had the prescription from the eye doctor but the glasses on Zenni that matched my daughter's OD were larger than the trials we had from the eye doctor that fit her face nicely. I tried measuring her OD myself multiple times. In the end, we just went with one that was close to her OD.
Thank you for posting your Zenni review of what appears to be the first order you placed with us, order o5181665442, placed on November 12,2022, for one pair of single-vision distance eyeglasses, in full-rim, oval, acetate, multicolor frame 4454829, with a frame width of 118 millimeters.
We were happy to read that your daughter gets lots of compliments on the glasses, and that they are much more affordable than eyeglasses you would purchase locally.
However, we were sorry to read that the ordering process took longer than you had expected.
When you refer to “OD” we believe that you mean “PD,” the abbreviation for pupillary distance, which you measured at 57 mm.
This frame has a PD range of 39-60 mm, so it certainly would accommodate your daughter’s PD of 57 mm.
However, if she has any vision issues with the glasses, we want to suggest that you telephone Zenni Customer Service, at 1-800-211-2105, and anyone who answers will be eager to assist you.
We thank you again for posting your review, and we hope that you have a great 2023!
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.
