Quick delivery. Arrived way faster than expected. They looked even better in person.
It was so easy to do my order online. I have received many compliments on my eyeglasses. I told all my friends to order with Zenni optical. An awesome experience. I will definitely order again.
My husband chose frame and now don't use them. Very nice frame though. Fast shipping... I wish his prescription was correct
Great speedy service glasses look great on my 9 th grade daughter she loves them!
I needed bifocals but didn't order them correctly.
I've ordered several pairs of glasses in the last 4 or 5 years, and I'm never disappointed with my orders. There was one time recently, when placing an order for glasses for myself and my son, I accidentally used my prescription for both frames. I called Zenni and they corrected the issue for me quickly and our glasses came perfect. My last order was sunglasses, which I've never owned a pair of prescription sun glasses before. They're PERFECT! I was afraid because I'm very picky about sunglasses shapes, but with the try on option I was able to find a pair I loved.
Glasses were easy to order, and they shipped fast. I love them!
Great price and they're so cute! I get compliments about my glasses all the time!
My family has had 7 or 8 pair now. I won't buy anywhere else!
The glasses are so cute and the prescription is very accurate! The frames are a smidge too tight on me and the arms of the glasses bend outwardly a little, making them look smaller
Fits well & very clear & i got it with just minimum wait time. & very affordable.
After losing my sunglasses, I was able to order a replacement quickly and easily on the website. They arrived very quickly, sooner than I expected.
I had order them a size smaller, I had to return them and get them a Bigger size.
They were able to take the small one back and give me the credit to order the right size.
My Son is really happy.
Always a great experience. Everyone in my family loves their glasses!
They look clean as hell opening it out the package
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.

Thank you for posting your Zenni review.
We were sorry to learn that you had intended to order bifocal eyeglasses, but instead you ordered single-vision eyeglasses.
Consequently, we apologize for any disappointment you experienced as a result.
Since you say that the glasses you received are nice, you may want to keep these glasses.
However, if you want to return them 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 the order – we invite you to telephone Zenni Customer Service, at 1-800-211-2105, and anyone who answers will be eager to assist you with emailed instructions to return the glasses for the refund option you select. 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, o4946244021, 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 the instructions to return the glasses for the refund option you select, and we will also email you the prepaid mailing label to use for return postage.
If you select the 100 percent store credit refund, and you plan to use the store credit toward the payment of a new order for bifocals – or if you want to keep the single-vision glasses and order a pair of bifocals, we invite you to telephone Zenni Customer Service.
If you tell the customer service representative who answers that you would like their assistance to place a new order for bifocals, they will be happy to stay on the line with you and talk you through the bifocals-ordering process.
We hope that this information is helpful, and we also hope to hear back from you, if you would like to return the single-vision eyeglasses for one of the refund options, or whether you simply would like their help when you want to order bifocals.
We also hope that this will resolve this matter to your satisfaction.
