I was able to get 3 pairs of progressive glasses for about the one through my optometrist.
Not happy at all with this pair of glasses. The bifocals are not when they should be.
Although I sent all the correct numbers, they are not right.
Will be looking for other options to get my glasses in the future.
Thank you for posting your Zenni review of the most recent order for eyeglasses you placed with us, which we were sorry to read contained a pair of standard progressive eyeglasses with which you are unsatisfied. Consequently, we apologize for any dissatisfaction you experienced as a result. We want to confirm that we manufacture a style of progressive eyeglasses called freeform, which has a 12-14-millimeter-wide progressive reading corridor, with no vision correction on either side of the corridor. Moreover, we also want to confirm that we place the top of the progressive reading corridor at 5 mm above the center line of the lens. The frame you selected for your standard progressive eyeglasses, half-rim, rectangular, stainless-steel, spring-hinged, dark blue frame 167216, with wavy gray cutouts on the temple arms and a frame width of 139 mm, has a lens height of 31 mm. The centerline of the lens is at 15.5 mm up from the bottom, and the top of the progressive reading corridor is placed at 20.5 mm up from the bottom. We recommend that you consult with your eye doctor to determine where the optical center should be on a pair of glasses with which you can see well, and then select a frame on the Zenni website that has a similar lens height. However, you posted your review outside the order’s 30-day warranty period, which starts the day the glasses are delivered. Nevertheless, we can make a one-time customer service exception to invite you to return these eyeglasses to us for the refund option that is available for an order paid for with store credit – a 50 percent refund of the price of the glasses to the PayPal account you used to pay for the previous order. If you would like to pursue this refund option, 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 50 percent PayPal refund. 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 Zenni page. You may also email us, at service@zennioptical.com, and if you choose this communication method, please put your order number, o4184041478, in the subject line of the email, and in the body of the email please advise that you are requesting instructions to return the glasses for the 50 percent PayPal refund. We will email you the instructions to return the glasses to us for this refund, and we will also email you the prepaid mailing label. We very much hope to hear back from you, in the hope that we may resolve this matter to your satisfaction.
After having trouble with a good fit for my lenses I had ordered, I was able to change to a pair of computer glasses, which will be just fine. They are wonderful!
I have several pairs of Zenni glasses & sun glasses. I will not buy anywhere else unless prices go up.
I love that they have a wide variety. Also their system is way easy to use. Usually 14 days to get glasses. Same s as a doctors office at a cheaper price
Arrived quickly, well-packaged, and I love my glasses. I will definitely be ordering again.
Great job came so quick and my son was happy with them Thanks
Zenni has great selection and the prescriptions always turn out great.
Thank you, per usually my order was quick and correct
Ordered two frame/lenses with new prescription. Very satisfied with the frame quality, the online ordering interface (including the virtual try-on options) and the feedback/updates I received whie the glasses were being customized and shipped. I've recommended Zenni to friends and acquaintances and will continue to do so while the experience remains this convenient and the value remains this high.
I have ordered glasses from Zenni for about 10 years, and I love their glasses! I've never had a single incident that changed my mind, which is one reason why I continue to order from Zenni. Keep up the good service.
These are the second pair of glasses I've gotten from Zenni and I am thoroughly impressed. The style and color were exactly what I wanted and they did a wonderful job on service. The timing wasn't bad either will definitely be shopping for my glasses in the future.
Zenni products, good quality at a fair price. Between my wife and I we have purchased about five or six pair. I highly recommend Zenni.
Ordered several pairs of glasses this past year. Highly satisfied with the frames, lenses, and quality.
Everything was good. Customer service helped when I needed to change my shipping address. Glasses arrived on good condition, and are probably worth what I paid. Good for being active outside when I'm worried about wearing and damaging my super expensive prescription glasses.
Easy ordering and payment nice glasses for the money. I needed Santa glasses put in my prescription and I had them in about a week to 10 days.
My glasses fit for refectory and the visual field is spot on!
Will order again!
Everything went well. Received quickly glasses' rx was perfect.
Love the look! Love being able to "try on" the frames before purchase!
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 service@zenni.com, 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.
