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 am so satisfied with my Zenni experience! I love driving wearing my new sunglasses. They fit perfectly and the tint is perfect!
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!
Great job zenni got my glasses fast and exactly what I ordered
Easy to order, arrives quickly, great option for affordable glasses.
I love love love my glasses! The frame is awesome they fit perfect and they got my prescription exactly right!
I always buy my glasses from Zenni optical. Always satisfied and I always get compliments!
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!
I love the diversity of the frames you have and of course, the pricing. I'm never afraid to lose them now.
I ordered new glasses, and they came in quickly and look/feel great! I love how affordable they were!
Persuaded my wife to try Zenni and when she received her glasses, she couldn't see with them. Not happy!
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.
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
Ordering was easy, manufacturing was to specification, and shipping was speedy.
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.
