It was great to be able to make a fully informed choice in custom online options!
If you have an active young child the frames with strap are amazing!
Had these glasses before and loved them so much... So, I ordered three more in sun glasses, tinted blue, green and yellow.
My progressive lenses are always done correctly at Zenni.
Super cute, fun, trendy. Didn't break the bank but I'm still able to get the look.
I love your glasses. Better then what's available at the eye doctors.
I have bought several pair and they are the best quality and clarity.
Loved that I could try on different styles online! Everything turned out great! Easy process and timely delivery. Will definitely purchase again!
Was not sure how I would like progressive lenses by ordering them on line, but they are just as good as going to a optical store and paying a whole lot more for them. Will be ordering again from Zenni Optical, great prices. Thank you.
They fit perfect! The order came fast and really easy to order
I like my new glasses once I got used to them. And I like the magnetic sunglasses. Very happy with this purchase
I am very happy with every purchase from Zenni. I especially like the progressive lenses. These are the first ones I have tried and they took some getting used to, but they perform admirably.
This was cheaper than using my insurance.
We will definitely be using this service again.
Order was simple to make, everything was properly explained, shipping times etc. tracking information was provided and accurate. I wish it didn't take so long to get them took me about three weeks but that was my choice they told me that express shipping wasn't available.
Fantastic. Great glasses. Love them. Came in on time and have been amazing.
My prescription glasses showed up and were perfect. They fit like a dream and the prescription is spot on!
Seriously I get stopped daily about my glasses. They are perfect. Zenni has never let me down. The only people who dislike them are my eye clinic bc I never buy their overpriced frames anymore
Glasses arrived in perfect shape. Look as advertised, durable, very pleased!
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.
