I bought these glasses to look like Mirabel (Encanto) and they were everything I could have hoped. Prescription is as good as if I'd spent a ton of money on them, but they were super affordable! This was my first time buying from Zenni and I was happy with it and would buy again.
I ordered prescription sunglasses and was skeptical because it was an online store. I was so surprised and impressed when I got them that I ordered regular lenses in the same style frames as the sunglasses and they are awesome. High index lenses. Good quality. Excellent prices. I'll be back Zenni!
These glasses were my first purchase from Zenni, and I'm hooked! All of my friends and colleagues love them and ask where I got them! Definitely buying again from Zenni!
My glasses look great! Theses glasses are an exceptional value for the price paid. Ordering was easy and my glasses were delivered before expected. I plan on ordering glasses from Zenni Optical from this point on.
The glasses are way to reflected when I purchase I will be invest in the better lenses. Gives me more of a headache. Just haven't had to time to actually order them

The glasses that my daughter so quickly picked out turned out perfect for her. She was very pleased.
Glasses were delivered promptly and looked just like they did online, maybe better!
Really cute frames for a good price! Also, they got to me really quickly, which is a plus.
I am very satisfied. Good products. Very cheap. Good quality.
Always pleased with our Zenni optical orders. Have never had an issue with the shipping or our glasses
I work a mental health facility and my glasses were snatched of my face twisted and bent with all of a 15 year olds strength and they bent back and still very usable and fits my face tightly still will be ordering more styles soon
Not a paid review! I've ordered several pairs of glasses from Zenni for myself and my family. We love the affordability and selection of styles, and I have peace of mind knowing that I can return or exchange my glasses if something isn't right.
I have been ordering from here for a while now and they're great!
The glasses are beautiful and look great on me. My sunglasses are good for keeping the glare out.
I have purchased over 20 pairs and have been pleased with the quality and prescription. I inadvertently ordered +3.0 instead of -3.0. I was able to get store credit even with it being my error. As a teacher I have been able to purchase glasses for my students for $40 including shipping. Zenni is awesome!
I got them very quickly was impressed with that but the quality is what I paid for.

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.
