The prescription was way off

The prescription was way off. After spending $180. I can't even see out of my brand new glasses. Just spend a little more and know what you are getting is correct.

First time ordering from ZENNI*****

First time ordering from ZENNI*****. Five stars all the way. I ordered and received a progressive prescription pair of glasses, and I couldn't be happier with them! I now have another pair of prescription sunglasses on order from them, so you know I'm pleased :)

Better than expected

So first i searched up some affordable glasses companies, and first stumbled upon Lenssmart, then later found out that they weren’t a good company, their customer service took 1 day to respond to cancel only 1 order. Then ordered from zenni and the glasses were perfect. Btw im buying $100 worth of stuff from you guys

The bifocal is too high makes it hard to see . Disappointing

Reply from Zenni Optical

Thank you for your review. We are truly sorry to hear that the bifocal placement on your new glasses is sitting too high and making it difficult for you to see clearly, and we apologize for this frustrating experience. We completely understand how disappointing it is when the reading line interferes with your distance vision. To help clarify, Zenni uses a standardized segment height placement for bifocal lenses, which means we do not offer customized vertical positioning. For future orders, choosing a frame with a taller lens height is the best way to ensure the reading portion sits lower on your face, giving you more clear space at the top for distance vision.

Your satisfaction is very important to us, and we want to help you get into a pair that provides comfortable, crystal-clear vision. If you would like help selecting a frame with a better lens height or would like to check your return options, please reach out to us with your order number via email at service@zennioptical.com, by phone at 1-800-211-2105, through chat on our website, or on social media. We are always here to assist you!

I accidentally putin my RX incorrectly so when I got may glasses I couldn't see a thing. I called Zenni and a very nice gentleman helped figure out the issue and gave me instructions how to return. I opted for store credit and look forward to getting my glasses again....this time with the RIGHT RX! LOL!

Love my glasses! They fit perfectly and they came one day early. The price for these glasses is so much more in my budget range.

Great Experience

The Zenni glasses always fit well and the lenses are always correct. I really like the ability to "try" on the frames before purchasing them.

Low prices, low quality. Poor lense features

While Zenni has very low prices, you get what you pay for. A lot of their frames look stylish but wearing them is another story. The quality is subpar which equates to low pricing. The material on some looks straight out of the dollar store. Another downside is sizing, you can get a pair in multiple sizes. If you like a pair, they will be a specific size that may or may not fit you. If they don't fit you, you are out of luck. On to another style. The web try on feature is also highly inaccurate. If you base your buying decision on this, you will be disappointed. The PD is off by about 12 or 13. That's very bad. Lastly are lenses. They upcharge you on all sorts of lenses most of which are terrible. Blue light lenses are tinted or colored. Reflections will have a hue so you look bad in pictures. Photochromatic lenses degrade in weeks, not years. So they yellow very fast. This is poor materials. Zenni is a good back up pair option of you skip every bell and every whistle on the lenses. You'll get a cheap pair that will fool some and do cheap you don't care if they break

They Lost My Order, Botched the Remake, Then Refused a Return

Bottom line: Zenni lost my order, botched the replacement, and refused to make it right. Now, I'm out money with a pair of glasses I can't even use.

My first order arrived lost in transit, which is unsurprising, given how poorly the glasses were packaged for shipping. This was entirely on Zenni's end, through no fault of my own. They remade the order and sent a replacement pair, but the second pair had its own problems: the fit was off, and the left lens was made incorrectly. Even though I entered my prescription correctly and it matched my current glasses exactly, looking through the left lens caused eye strain that I don't experience with my other pair.

When I tried to return the faulty glasses, Zenni refused, citing the fact that they'd already remade my order once, despite that remake being necessary only because of their own shipping failure. Customer service was no help at all in resolving any of this.

I'm now stuck with a pair of glasses that don't fit and are unusable, and out the money I paid for them. Incredibly poor service, and I won't be ordering from Zenni again. Save yourself the money and hassle and go to a legitimate vendor.
