Easy to order. Fast check out. No issues. Easy easy easy
This is our third time ordering glasses from Zenni Optical. I love the ease of the experience! This time, we got engraving on the arms of the glasses and my 16 year old daughter loves it! We also got clip on sunglasses for her bifocals. She has never had that before. Thank you for having great frames and styles for such great prices!
Purchased some red and black kids glasses and they fit him perfectly. Fast and easy and great customer service
I received my order in a week and it is very nice, cheap and fast.
Thank you!
It has been a couple years since I've ordered from Zenni, and I am happy that my experience has not since changed. As always, it was exceptionally fast and easy to order. Thanks so much!
I was very pleased in the quality and look of my order. Will definitely use Zenni again!
Dope glasses and low price, great for my kid who definitely breaks glasses once every few months
These have been the best glasses I've found. Very affordable. Very comfortable.
Great service, returned my glasses for new pair. Love the new frames!
I always love the glasses from Zenni! It is always such a good selection and price with options. I never have any issues. I was going to put a 4 star because there is always such a question as to the prescription or what you receive. As a 2nd time customer, like last time was in 2012, I've never had any problems. This past purchase I purchased 2 glasses separate. One pair had sun glasses, I think I would want something darker. I just never saw any option... It was like small things. I needed glasses and I can see. I had not had glasses in several years & I have an 175 stigmatism when it only goes to 180. It was that bad because I just didn't want or care to wear glasses. They are making me feel better about myself and want to move forward in life. I got them & was able to afford them too. Thank Zenni!
Great glasses, Timely delivery. Very satisfied with purchase & quality of product.
For around $25 I got better glasses than the $280 pair from MyEyeDr. Never going back. Thank you!
Easy to order, quick delivery, prescription right no complaints.
I don't like the fact when you return somethin, you only receive a portion of the money. The worst part is that they only refund a "full" which is minus the shipping fee to ONLY store credit. After you use store credit and if you happen to return that also, you receive less than the full amount spent. So now, I have essentially lost about $40 after 2 returns. This type of return policy is the worst under any industry. Once I use my leftover funds, I will NEVER use this company and I will not recommend to anyone. I will go as far as discouraging any friends from using this company. Very poor customer service and seems like they don't care, just scripted answers just like talking to a robot.
Came as promise, tint is just right, frames as nice
Very fast ordering and delivery process. I have these same frames in the clear option and I love both. They do not break the bank. 10/10
I've ordered glasses from Zenni several times over the years, and have never had any problems. This time was no exception! I got my prescription from my optometrist, and sent for my glasses right away. When they arrived, the prescription was right on, and the glasses were comfortable. You can't ask for more!
These eye glasses are wonderful! Excellent quality, good frame selection, fair pricing, and a timely shipping speed. I found the Rx from a 'tad' confusing but, with a friends help, got thru' it. My next pair will be ordered soon from your site.
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.
