Got my glasses in a nice time and in great condition. Thank you!
As title says. I was very pleased with the quality of these inexpensive glasses.
We were able to find cute glasses at a fraction of the cost for my kiddo. Once the order was placed we received the glasses way quicker than I had expected to! They come with nice plastic cases that other online brands don't always give, which was a plus as we needed a hard case for school.
I've been a Zenni customer for well over a decade, ordering at least once a year. I have ordered frames of various materials and coatings. I have a very strong, thick prescription, so my choice of frames is somewhat limited. However, I have always been able to find exactly what I needed. My favorite style is rimless. This can be tricky with a thick lens. However, I have never had a problem with the rimless pairs I ordered from Zenni. I am a customer for life!
This was my first order from this online store. Took about a week to get my order. Everything was how I wanted it. Case was a nice bonus. Overall good experience, will buy again to check quality of next order.
Decent delivery speed and I am satisfied with my order.
I bought these for my son. They fit great, are great quality so far, and very reasonably priced. They arrived earlier than expected and I was notified of updates throughout the shipping process.
This is my first order with Zenni & I will def be ordering again! The glasses work great in terms of the prescription, fit, & structure of the glasses. They are comfortable & feel very secure when I wear them.
I have never ordered glasses online and had a great experience doing it through zenni!
Happy with my Zenni's, I think this is my fourth pair
I received very nice sunglasses, but was certain I'd ordered eyeglasses. Sent a customer service note about it but had no response. Decided to keep the sunglasses.
The glasses are inexpensive and came very quickly. These are perfect.
Timely and good quality. Efficient and fast. Will use again
This is the 3rd time I've ordered and it is so easy and so fast! I litteraly paid $33 for the same exact glasses in a better color... that my eye doctor wanted over $300 for... they are amazing
I always buy my glasses from Zenni. The most affordable glasses and so well made.
I accidentally sent my order to an old address. After the USPS returned the glasses, Zenni contacted me and got my glasses to me. Will order from again.
I wanted transitions...I always order transitions...done it many times before...the app or I screwed it up...doesn't make sense to me

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.
