Second pair I ordered, I can't believe how much more I used to pay, I'm only buying from here from now on
I've ordered a pair of glasses multiple times from Zenni and they have always been spot on. My favorite are these black plastic frames, just a great conservative classic!
My glasses I had previously ordered from here had broke after a few years and when I needed my new frames I had them within a week of purchasing.
They've been very good quality glasses from the amount of time I've used them, though they are very fragile. I recommend it either way just for their durability and good quality!
My glasses that I Order is not what I expected to look Like. It's not what it looks like on the photo, It looks like a Protective glasses instead of a daily prescription glasses.
These glasses are exactly what I was looking and now I have both styles. Great look. Light weight. Love them!
I had ordered this pair because I own the same ones in another color. I thought these were going to be the same as the ones I have now, but they are not. They have a line because they're bifocals. My current pair are progressives so I don't have a line. I thought these were going to be the same. Since these glasses are a large frame, I cannot use them with the line because it is not positioned correctly. I will get a new pair, but I am just upset because I buy glasses for my whole family here.
Thank you for posting your Zenni review of the most recent order you placed with us, order o4661740962, placed on October 14,2022, for one pair of bifocal eyeglasses in full-rim, cat-eye, acetate, spring-hinged, pink tortoiseshell frame 503019, with a magnetic snap-on sunshades set.
We were sorry to read that you are dissatisfied with these bifocals, because they have a line separating the bifocal segment lens providing your near-vision correction and the larger lens that corrects your distance vision, unlike the two pairs of standard progressive eyeglasses you ordered on January 9,2022, in order o4427886886, which you initially ordered as bifocals but then contacted us the day after you placed the order to change the lens type from bifocals to progressives.
Since you contacted us within the first 24 hours after this order was placed, we were able to make the change from bifocals to progressives.
One of these pairs of progressive eyeglasses was ordered in frame 503021, the same frame as 503019, but it is a black frame with tortoiseshell temple arms, and the snap-on magnetic sunshades have gray lenses, whereas the sunshades that accompany frame 503019 are rose gold.
Order o4661740962 was delivered to you on October 28,2022, according to the U.S. Postal Service website, which means that it is within its 30-day warranty period, which starts the day the glasses are delivered.
Therefore, you may return these bifocals to us for one of our two refund options – either a 100 percent refund of the price of the bifocals in the form of store credit to your Zenni account or a 50 percent refund to the PayPal account you used to pay for the order.
If you would like to return these bifocals for one of our refund options, we invite you to telephone Zenni Customer Service, at 1-800-211-2105, and anyone who answers will be happy to assist you when you provide the order number, o4661740962.
If you select the 100 percent store credit refund, you may use the store credit toward the purchase of a new pair of progressive eyeglasses – perhaps a pair of premium progressives, which we just started offering this year, and which have a wider progressive reading channel than standard progressives.
We will email you instructions to return the glasses to us for the refund option you select, and we will also email you a prepaid mailing label to use for return postage.

I had a wonderful experience with Zenni. My daughter got glasses and I saved money.
I'm really enjoying my new glasses. For the price that I paid they are an excellent product. I will definitely be buying more glasses from Zenni.
Easy to order. Production and shipping were fast. Zenni is my go to eyeglass company.
I bought glasses for my daughter (who is a professional at "tearing up" her frames). She's had them for about a month now and still not a scratch on them. Ordering was SUPER EASY although I used a different app to help with the PD. She loves her new glasses. Process from start to finish is very convenient and user friendly. Quality for the price is why I WILL be a returning customer.
Great as always. Fit great. Well made. Can't beat the prices!
It's my 3rd pair. Both of my daughters are now ordering theirs from Zenni too!
Thank you for offering such amazingly fun glasses at such a great price. I have been so happy with what I have received.
I ham so happy with my glasses they are exactly what I ordered. This is my second time ordering glasses through Zenni and I was very pleased both times.
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.
