Glasses look great
November 22, 2022

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.

Super fast and easy.
November 22, 2022

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!

We were sorry to learn that the lenses are reflective, and we see that you did not select one of our anti-reflective coatings for the lenses.

Consequently, we apologize for any disappointment you experienced as a result.

Another awesome pair!
November 22, 2022

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 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!
