Take time for me to be able to get use to them. I use to be able to focus but not good. And now when I take them off, I can't focus. Everything is very very blurry. I hope that's normal.
Bows are quite tight on my face but I'm sure will loosen over time. Glasses are beautiful and I love them.
Great experience! I have ordered several pairs of glasses from Zenni optical. I love them and I get lots of compliments.
Glasses came quick and saved the day. This is my second pair. I highly recommend.
Always arrives quickly Great prices Super fun & fabulous styles I will always recommend & personally purchase from
I lost my glasses recently. I remembered that I had a few favorites picked out on Zenni and had submitted my prescription several months ago. I was able to go back to Zenni and pick up where I left off. Selection was quick. So was delivery. I'm very satisfied with my glasses. Will be ordering more soon.
Zenni is a cheat code for affordable quality glasses
This is my 2nd purchase and I will continue to purchase from Zenni. Very satisfied with glasses
Amazing experience with zenni...super cute lens to choose from
Great prices and quick delivery
I love the glasses and always come back for more for me and my family
I haven't tried the new glasses yet but the ones I got last year didn't get their scratch coating so hope these did. Last year's were all scratched up within a few days with only ordinary use unlike other glasses i have got from you that didn't scratch for quite an extended period of time with the same care.
My Safety sunglasses arrived quickly, fit well, and were the correct prescription.
I was pleased with the amount of time it took to get my order but, I was very disappointed with the lenses. I couldn't see clearly through them and they were so thick. Not what I expected at all.
Thank you for posting your Zenni review of what appears to be the first order for eyeglasses you placed with us, order o5183507377, placed on November 13,2022, for one pair of premium progressive eyeglasses.
We were sorry to read that you could not see well through the lenses, which also were thicker than you would have preferred, and we apologize for any disappointment you experienced as a result.
You selected a 1.50 progressive lens, although with the prescription you entered, our website recommends the 1.74 high-index progressive lens, which would have resulted in thinner lenses.
In addition, the frame you selected – full-rim, browline, round, stainless-steel, multicolor iridescent frame 3226817, with a frame width of 137 millimeters – has a lens width of 53 mm.
With a strong prescription, such as you have, we recommend selecting a frame with a lens width between 45-48 mm, but no wider than 50 mm, which will also help to keep the lens thinner.
The U.S. Postal Service advises that the order was delivered to you on November 25,2022, which means that it is within its 30-day warranty period, which starts the day the glasses are delivered.
Therefore, we invite you to telephone Zenni Customer Service, at 1-800-211-2105, and anyone will be happy to assist you when you provide the order number, o5183507377.
Please have a copy of the prescription you used to place the order handy when you call, because the customer service representative who answers will ask you to email the prescription to them, to confirm that it was entered correctly.
If the pupillary distance (PD) is not on the prescription, please advise how it was obtained – self-measurement, friend or family member measurement, or eye doctor measurement.
If you confirm that you entered the prescription and PD correctly, we will email you instructions to return the glasses to us for an inspection, and we will also email you a prepaid mailing label to use for return postage.
If our inspection finds any manufacturing errors on the glasses, we will offer to remake them for you for free.
However, if it turns out that something was entered incorrectly on the order, we will email you instructions to return the glasses 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 Apple Pay account you used to pay for the order.
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 page of the Zenni website.
You may also email us, at [email protected], and if you choose this communication method, please put your order number, o5183507377, in the subject line of the email and please attach a copy of the prescription to the email.
If the PD is not on the prescription, please advise in the body of the email how it was obtained – self-measurement, friend or family member measurement, or eye doctor measurement.
If you confirm that you entered the prescription and PD correctly, we will email you instructions to return the glasses to us for an inspection, and we will also email you the prepaid mailing label to use for return postage.
But if it turns out that something was entered incorrectly on the order, we will email you the instructions to return the glasses for the refund option you select – either the 100 percent store credit refund or the 50 percent Apple Pay account refund.
We will also email you the prepaid shipping label to use for return postage.
We look forward to hearing back from you, in the hope that we may resolve this matter to your satisfaction, with an inspection or one of our two refund options.
We also hope that you have a very happy holiday season!
There are so many glasses to choose from and it is easy to order. My glasses arrived quickly and I love them! I will absolutely be purchasing more styles!
Ordered my wife's glasses expecting to wait 2+ weeks. We received them within 10 days. They fit perfectly and she's extremely happy with the quality. We'll continue to order from Zenni.
My daughter bought her eye glasses. Love the way her's looked, she said Mom you should try this website it's great and affordable, then she helped me to setup and account and input all of my eye prescription. I received my glasses and I'm very happy I made this purchase. I highly recommend ZENNI Optical
Thank you
They came within 2 weeks. Well packaged. And with exact measurements!
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 your Zenni review of the most recent order you place with us, order o5186333258, placed on November 27,2022, for one pair of single-vision distance eyeglasses.
We were sorry to read that the lenses of the single-vision distance eyeglasses with our Blokz® blue-light-blocking feature you purchased on November 28,2021, in order o4312043850, developed scratches within the first few days of your having received them.
Consequently, we apologize for any dissatisfaction you experienced as a result.
Moreover, since you mention that the scratches first appeared a few days after you received those eyeglasses, we want to advise that we have a 30-day warranty period, which starts the day the glasses are delivered.
We are also sorry that you did not contact us about these glasses within the warranty period. Had you provided a picture of the scratched lenses, we might have offered you a free remake or 100 percent refund of the price of the glasses in the form of store credit to your Zenni account.
The U.S. Postal Service advises that order o5186333258 was delivered to you on December 8,2022, which means that it is within its 30-day warranty period, which starts the day the glasses are delivered.
