Ordered another pair after getting my first, these match my sunglasses and the materials feel good as do the hinges.

Great glasses!
October 18, 2022

It was very easy ordering from Zenni. I can't believe how much cheaper these glasses were than the ones I bought at the doctor's office! Almost $300 dollars cheaper. I will only buy glasses from Zenni from now on!

Construction Safety Glasses
October 18, 2022

Excellent glasses
My only issue is.
You did Not have a transition option.
Being able to have safety glasses that go from dark to clear lenses is a plus.
Can you please bring transition option back.
Thank You

Thank you for posting your Zenni review of the first order for eyeglasses you placed with us, order o5079567824, placed on September 22,2022, for one pair of single-vision distance eyeglasses.

We were sorry to learn that you were unsure about how to order the type of eyeglasses you wanted, and that you regret that you did not order a pair of eyeglasses that would include your near vision correction along with your distance vision correction.

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

If you have a prescription that includes your Near Vision reading Addition correction (NV-ADD) value, you may order our two types of multifocal glasses.

One of these would be a pair of bifocals, which have distance vision in the larger, “carrier,” lens and close-up (near) vision in a bifocal lens placed toward the bottom of the larger, distance-vision lens, and described by a line.

The other prescription type is progressive lenses, multifocal lenses that correct distance (driving), intermediate (computer), and near (reading) vision with three separate focal fields with no visible line on the lens separating them.

You order was delivered to you on October 1,2022, 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 eyeglasses to us 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 credit card you used to pay for them.

If you would like to pursue returning these eyeglasses to us for one of these refunds, we invite you to telephone Zenni Customer Service, at 1-800-211-2105, and please provide the order number, o5079567824, to the customer service representative who answers, and please advise of the refund option you prefer.

We will email you instructions to return the glasses for the refund option you select, and we will also email you a prepaid mailing label to use for return postage.

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, o5079567824, in the subject line of the email, and in the body of the email, please advise of the refund option you prefer.

We will email you instructions to return the glasses for the refund option you select, and we will also email you a prepaid mailing label to use for return postage.

If you select the 100 percent store credit refund, you may use the store credit toward the purchase of a new pair of multifocal eyeglasses – either bifocals or progressives, and when you are ready to place your new order, we encourage you to telephone Zenni Customer Service, and anyone who answers will be eager to assist you with your selection of either bifocals or progressives.

Of course, if you would like to keep these glasses to use as single-vision distance glasses, you may simply order a new pair of bifocals or progressives, and when you call, we will be happy to stay on the phone with you during the order process.

We look forward to hearing back from you if you would like to return these single-vision eyeglasses for one of our two refund options, or if you would like our assistance in placing a new order for bifocals or progressives.

We hope that we will be able to resolve this matter to your satisfaction, with one of our two refund options, or assistance as you place your next order for multifocal eyeglasses.

Affordable and fashionable glasses
October 18, 2022

Great experience purchasing my first pair of glasses on line. Needed help though, since I'm not versed in all the technical stuff. Loved the detailed steps in the process and option to return/exchange glasses if there are fit issues

Good glasses but smaller
October 18, 2022

The glasses are wonderful and came in amazing condition. The only reason i rate 4 stars is that the glasses looked bigger on the virtual view than they are but they still fit and are good.

I received glasses with a incorrect prescription lenses and need them re-made or refunded. I took the glasses I received from Zenni for order # o*******540 to the optometrist who issued the prescription and had them tested. They state that the lenses in the sunglasses are not matching the prescription. Recommend Zenni call Eye Center of Charleston at *******357 to validate my comments and remake the glasses correctly. Prescription info is Patient: Carl Sabin Script Issue Date: 9/20/22

Zenni is my new obsession!
October 18, 2022

This is my first time wearing glasses in my adult life. I looked at mainstream glasses companies and couldn't find a style I liked in my price range. Zenni gave me so many options, the only problem I had was choosing between which frames I liked best!

I was a skeptic…. Not anymore!
October 18, 2022

I wish I had a valid excuse for waiting this long to order glasses online…. But I don't. I can only say my apprehensions were a huge mistake. I thought I'd hate the glasses but they are so beautiful! Sturdy and well built to LAST! I am a believer now.

Great Glasses, Great Price
October 18, 2022

I love my new glasses! I just wear glasses around the house at night so I just wanted something simple and comfortable. These are great. Super lightweight but not cheap feeling. Will definitely order another pair in the future.
