This was an easy and fun ordering experience! I love the glasses and the shipping was quick! I also love the clip on sunglasses that I ordered with them.
Easy, as always to order. Great glasses at a very good price.
Ordering glasses was so easy! I can't wait to order sunglasses next!
Fit great and are cute! My nose is small so usually i have a Hard time with my glasses staying up! But these are just the right size!
Quick, reliable, high quality. Very happy with the order
This was my second pair. I needed something strictly for Work, and I absolutely love having a backup pair of eye glasses, as I have been known to have, the worse luck ever. My Zenni experience has been great!
Great shipping and service but I'm going to have to return due to too strong prescription.
I have probably ordered 20 pairs of glasses for the family and I'm always impressed with the selection, price and speed.
Persciption and price is right. I don't like the size or the fit of the glasses. Tight, small and wrong color
I was very pleased with my order. I will definitely use Zenni again eith all my eye glass needs.
I ordered 2 pairs of glasses for my daughter with no prescription. They were to small. They only offer you 100% store credit or 50% back to your original payment mention. Not worth the money.

Delivered fast, good quality for the price! :) Normally I mainly use contacts but I find myself wearing my glasses more, they are comfortable! Highly recommend and can't wait to purchase more.
I don't know that there's anything wrong with the glasses that I was sent, but I am checking with my doctor to see if there's something wrong with my prescription. Everything in the distance looks Crystal clear, but anything within 8 to 10 feet of me looks very distorted.
Can in great time and are perfect….I was able to get the frames I wanted and great price and transition
We ordered these glasses for my 95 year old mother. There was no problem with ordering. We received the glasses in less than two weeks!
Sure did save us some time and money!
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.

Since the most recent pair of eyeglasses you ordered did not 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, which can be seen under the enlarged picture of the frame on our website, under Details, or on the enlarged picture of a frame on our website, if you click on the little ruler icon toward the lower left side of the enlarged picture.
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-.
In addition, here is a link to another infographic found toward the middle of the bottom of every page of our website, Best Eyeglasses For Your Face Shape: https://www.zennioptical.com/best-eyeglasses-for-your-face-shape.
We hope that this information is helpful, we hope to hear back from you with your refund choice, and we also hope that you have a very happy holiday season!
