Wonderful experience. Plan to continue ordering from Zenni!
Inexpensive and received my glasses in a timely fashion
Zenni is the best for affordable, stylish, and great delivery.
I am very happy with eye purchase. This was my first set of bifocals and these work wonderfully.
Easy to order; great pair of eyeglasses; very lightweight
Glasses are so expensive it's ridiculous. I felt I was getting a great deal when I got a pair of glasses for $99 at Warby Parker. My wife informed me that, yes, it's a bargain compared to the mall, but there are better options. She turned me on to Zenni, where I just bought 3 pairs of glasses for a total of $60 and they are all amazing. 5/5 will buy again!
Wonderful. Was so easy to order and loved the different style of glasses. Have already ordered my second pair
Overall very happy. Slightly more expensive than I would've liked but overall happy
Glasses were well priced, sturdier than I expected for as cheaply as I got them. I got a pair for myself and for my sister, with the turnaround being listed as 10-21 days. We got them in a week and are very happy with them.
The glasses arrived sooner than I thought they would, and I am happy with what I received. It's nice to have a pair of sunglasses now with my prescription.
It was amazing. Easy to order, tons of options to choose from. Having the ability to fit your glasses on yourself before purchase made choosing smoothly. 10/10
My glasses arrived nicely packaged and look great! I also love the prices!
It was fast and everything was great! My daughter loved her glasses!
Got my new glasses exactly as pictured and super timely. Comfortable to wear. The transition lenses work great so overall happy with my purchase.
Zenni has a great variety of spectacle. I was nervous about the pupillary distance, but I followed the directions for measuring and my lenses feel fine. I wear them all day and the blue light block is great since I sit at a computer a lot.
Love this company! I get all my glasses here including my kids!
Great! Received my glasses timely with no issues at all
I've now ordered two pairs of glasses from Zenni. Both pairs were very cheaply made and they could not be adjusted. In fact, when I took them to optical shops to adjust, they wouldn't do it. They were afraid the glasses would break when adjusted. I've ordered progressive prescription glasses from Eyebobs and they've been stylish, well made and prescription perfect! Eyebobs is about 2x as much as Zenni; but, you'll receive quality glasses! Also, note that Eyebobs will give you a 100% store credit for a return. But, when you want to return and receive money back, you'll only receive 50% the purchase price of your glasses!
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.

Thank you for posting this review.
We are sorry that you dislike your glasses, and that you were unable to get them adjusted to fit you comfortably. We take pride in providing high quality, well-made eyeglasses for our customers, so if a customer receives a pair of glasses that contains manufacturing errors or if they observe any defects in a pair of glasses, they may provide a photo of the defect or return the glasses to be inspected within 30 days of receiving them, and we will replace them at no cost if a review of the photo or if the in-house inspection confirms the error. However, if there are no defects or errors detected, in accordance with our Terms of Use, the customer may choose from the standard return options, which are 100% store credit, excluding the shipping fee, or 50% refund to the credit card that was used to pay for the order, which also excludes the shipping fee. We believe that store credit is a good option in cases where there are no manufacturing errors or defects and the customer is willing to try again to purchase a different item that better suits their tastes, and we are pleased to offer 50% refund to customers who do not wish to reorder so that they may recoup half of what was initially paid for the glasses.
Because your order number is not included with your review, we are unable to use it to check our records to see if you have already contacted us to report the issues you’ve experienced with your glasses or to inquire about returning them. If you have not, we encourage you to call us at 1-800-211-2105 or email us at [email protected] and one of our representatives will eagerly assist you.
