Accurate prompt service
January 1, 2023

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.

Great glasses at a great price
January 1, 2023

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.

Still waiting...
January 26, 2023

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.

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!
