Great products but mine broke
January 1, 2022

Zenni was super fast and easy to navigate and the number of choices are endless. The prices are wonderful and I cannot wait to shop here again. However one of my glasses did come slightly damaged which was disappointing. They have magnetic sunglasses and I guess the magnet was very strong because it ripped off the magnet on the actual glasses! Other than that I love this company.

Excellent glasses for kids
January 1, 2022

These glasses actually stay on, even my insanely active 6 year old son, and they're very durable. He has dropped them several times while learning to put them on, put them away, and clean them. Not a single scuff not scratch to show for it! The lenses don't pop out either which is a big deal for a school aged child not always under my supervision. My son also says they're very comfortable and he loves to wear them. We did go with several upgrade options and do not regret a single one. It really didn't even make them expensive. The much less kid friendly ones through insurance would have cost us more and I guarantee he'd have broken both frames and lenses by now.

Love my new glasses!
January 1, 2022

I LOVE the way my glasses fit, and they're cute as well! I used the numbers on my existing glasses to help me find the right fit, which happened to be children's size. Thanks Zenni!

Receipt for glasses
January 1, 2022

I placed an order and received my package with out any problems. Very happy with my selection and they fit perfectly. This was my second order within a month. For some reason the first pair did not have the auto tint for the sun but I still wear them anyway. Have told numerous people about Zenni glasses and several have already gotten new glasses. Just love this company and so glad we found them. The price is great when on a fixed income and the product exceeds the price. Will most definitely will continue to get my glasses from Zenni

Thank you for posting your Zenni review of the eyeglasses you recently received. We were sorry to read that there is a scratch on one of the lenses of the glasses in your frame 206825, and that you also want to return the sunglasses in frame 1110921. Consequently, we apologize for any dissatisfaction you experienced as a result. Unfortunately, the evidence in the photograph you provided of frame 206825 is inconclusive, so on December 29,2021, we emailed you instructions to return the two pairs of glasses to us for 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 PayPal account you used to pay for the glasses. We will be eager to receive these returned eyeglasses, so that we may issue the refund option you select, which we hope will resolve this matter to your satisfaction.

Zenni glasses
January 1, 2022

Using Zenni for the first time, I was pleased with how easy it was to use. I have bifocals and it took me awhile to get use to them, but it is going pretty well. I have only had no line bifocals for years and did not anticipate having regular bifocals again until they came in the mail, but gradually adjusting. The glasses are a little bigger on my face than I hoped but I didn't see a smaller size. Altogether I can read and see everything I need to which is what I needed in a pair of glasses at an extremely low price.
Thank you.

Awesome glasses, great price
January 1, 2022

My distance vision is perfect but I need readers. I have ordered several glasses from
Other sites that are no rx on top and readers on the bottom. They have all given me a headache. I gave zenni a try and I LOVE my glasses. I can wear them all day. I work in a cardiac cath lab. Viral signs are on a back lit screen across the room, medication bottles are tiny and require that I read them. Taking my readers on and off was annoying and wasted valuable time. I plan to order a few more from zenni

Not great. I wasn't able to get in touch with anyone on replacing or returning my order so I had to go through a different company to get a new pair of glasses sent to me that were actually adult size frames.

Thank you for posting your Zenni review of the single-vision eyeglasses you ordered in full-rim, round, mixed-material, black frame 727021, with a frame width of 129 millimeters. We were sorry to read that this frame is too small to fit you well, and we apologize for any dissatisfaction you experienced as a result. Even though this order is outside its 30-day warranty period, which starts the day the glasses are delivered, we can make a one-time customer service exception to extend the warranty period on your behalf to invite you to return the glasses 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 PayPal account you used to pay for the order. Therefore, 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, o3711100221, 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. In addition, if you select the 100 percent store credit refund and you plan to use the store credit toward the purchase of a pair of eyeglasses in a frame that will fit you well, 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. 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, and we very much hope to hear back from you, so that we may resolve this matter to your satisfaction.
