Decent glasses for a good price
November 22, 2022

The ordering process was easy (I uploaded a picture of myself as instructed), I received them within the expected timeframe, and I'm happy with my glasses. I wish there was a bronze or brown option for the additional mirrored lenses, but for sun purposes, the yellow work just fine. I am pleasantly surprised with the fog coating; it actually works and reduces them fogging up when wearing a mask drastically. They were half the price of the cheapest ones at my doctor's office, even with the extras. I will definitely consider ordering from here again for my next pair!

I order two sets of prescription reading glasses. They work perfectly and they look like the cost 10-times what I paid! Well done Zenni!

Very good deal!
November 22, 2022

This outfit was a surprise! From the ad in an in flight magazine, I ordered a pair. Exactly what I needed. Allowed me to tweak my scrip to optimize my corrected vision. (Don't try this at home unless you're familiar with optics). What I learned: You can get a nice pair of spectacles without paying $400 just for frames! They do give you options, and a bit of shopping their site you can come up with a good product that looks good and is perfect optically. Thank you!

Thank you for posting your Zenni review of your order o5138432809, placed on October 16,2022, for one pair of single-vision glasses in full-rim, geometric, acetate, spring-hinged, sand-colored frame 4442233, with a frame width of 133 millimeters.

We were sorry to read that your wife cannot see well through the lenses of these eyeglasses, and we apologize for any dissatisfaction you and she experienced as a result.

The U.S. Postal Service website advises that the order was delivered to you on October 24,2022, which means that it is within its 30-day warranty period, which starts the day the glasses are delivered.

Therefore, we invite you to telephone Zenni Customer Service, at 1-800-211-2105, and anyone will be happy to assist you when you provide the order number, o5138432809.

Please have a copy of the prescription you used to place the order handy when you call, because the customer service representative will ask you to email the prescription to them, to confirm that it was entered correctly.

If the pupillary distance (PD) is not on the prescription, please advise how it was obtained – self-measurement, friend or family member measurement, or eye doctor measurement.

If you confirm that you entered the prescription and PD correctly, we will email you instructions to return the glasses to us for an inspection, and we will also email you a prepaid mailing label to use for return postage.

If our inspection finds any manufacturing errors on the glasses, we will offer to remake them for you for free.

But if it turns out that something was entered incorrectly on the order, we will email you instructions to return the glasses for one of our two refund options – either a 100 percent refund of the price of the glasses 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 the wait to speak with a customer service representative is lengthy, you may have an online Chat with us by clicking the button labeled Support, at the lower right-hand corner of every page of the Zenni website.

You may also email us, at [email protected], and if you choose this communication method, please put your order number, o5138432809, in the subject line of the email and please attach a copy of the prescription to the email.

If the PD is not on the prescription, please advise in the body of the email how it was obtained – self-measurement, friend or family member measurement, or eye doctor measurement.

If you confirm that you entered the prescription and PD correctly, we will email you instructions to return the glasses to us for an inspection, and we will also email you the prepaid mailing label to use for return postage.

But if it turns out that something was entered incorrectly on the order, we will email you instructions to return the glasses for one of our two refund options – either a 100 percent refund of the price of the glasses 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.

We look forward to hearing back from you, in the hope that we may resolve this matter to your satisfaction, with an inspection or one of our two refund options.

Glasses
November 22, 2022

This is the 3rd pair of glasses I have gotten from zenni. Over all I really am satisfied with my experience. I definitely appreciate the alternative to the over priced glasses from the local options.

Nice glasses, but tight for the sides
November 22, 2022

They were tight on the sides TO ME. The bend of the temple arms were just too much so I'll be looking for something wider. They were not a fit to me, but that doesn't mean it won't fit you
Pro: Lightweight
Con: Nose pad/wings are too big; too much bend in temple arms
