When I was ordering my glasses I was not sure how my glasses would fit.I am truly so amazed by quality and accuracy of this glasses. I would recommend Zenni to all my family and friends,and for sure I am going to order another pair of prescription sunglasses. Zenni is the best in delivering what they promised to their customers.

Got my glasses from Zenni and it was not what I expected. Each lens looked extremely different from the other and it just looked really bad. Tried to get the lab to fix it and they said bc of my prescription there was nothing they could do. Yet I just got my new glasses from Eyebuydirect and it came out perfect. If they can get it right there is no reason why Zenni can't if they consider themselves professional glasses company. Will never buy from them again

My glasses were lost in the mail, and when I called Zenni, I reached a call center overseas that was eitherunwilling or unable to assist me. In fact, the representative insisted that I conduct my own investigation to figure out what had happened to them. Worst of all, my glasses, for which I paid $70, were of shoddy workmanship. They're so flimsy that I worry that they won't last much at all. Don't buy from this company!

Loved the glasses but the magnetic sunglasses that were included did not fit properly and ruined the lenses. It took beyond the 14 day return period to show up. They are now refusing to stand behind their product. That was the second set of glasses and I would have ordered more but since they do not stand behind their product I cannot do that. Buyer beware.

I ordered 2 pairs of glasses and paid extra for Rush delivery for an upcoming road trip. One pair was rushed and the other wasn't. I contacted Zenni to learn that they didn't offer Rush on the second pair, even though they accepted my payment for Rush delivery. I asked why they didn't tell me that at the time I placed the order, so I might have selected a different pair. No answer and no refund. Won't use these clowns again.

I really thought my eyesight was getting worse when in reality I had put my previous pair of glasses thru complete and utter hell! My vision problems were caused by my lenses being so scratched up from 2.5yrs of less than stellar care that other people could see the mass of scratches from a conversational distance. But at least that tells me the frames and lenses are made to last!

I've ordered two pairs of glasses from this company. Both were "metal" and snapped in the middle. Customer service chat is just AI and you can't get anyone to help you. They were not helpful as they cited their 14 day return policy.

Customer service is an AI chat bot. Horrible service.

Very happy with my glasses. They are very stylish. Fit like a glove. They do their job better than other glasses I've had for less than a 1/4 of the price. Get your prescription. Get your own PD, it's easy. Go with Zenni.

Tip for consumers:
Getting your pd is easy. You just need the other information from an exam. Most eye places will not give you a PD for free and it's not covered by insurance. You have to get your pupuilliary distance yourself by using a mirror or a friend and rule. 0 above the middle of the right eye and count the milimeters to the middle of the left pupil.

Thank you for posting your very gratifying Zenni review of the eyeglasses you ordered from us. We were delighted to read that you are happy with your glasses, which we are happy to know are stylish and fit you well. Of course, we were pleased to read that you feel that the glasses you have ordered from Zenni are better than the much more expensive eyeglasses you have ordered locally. It was helpful of you, and considerate of other Zenni customers, to share your experience obtaining the pupillary distance (PD) measurement. For more information about obtaining an accurate PD measurement, if the eye doctor declines to provide it, we want to advise of the information we provide in an infographic found toward the middle of the bottom of every page of our website, How to Measure Your PD, https://www.zennioptical.com/measuring-pd-infographic. We also have a how-to video, also named How to Measure your PD, https://www.zennioptical.com/c/how-to#howto-measure-pd, and also found toward the middle of the bottom of every page of the Zenni website, with information explaining how to obtain this measurement. Mr. Jackson, we thank you again for taking the time to share your favorable comments. Moreover, we want you to know that we consider it a privilege to serve your eyeglasses needs, and we hope to do so for many years to come.

This was my first/last time trying Zenni. Frames are cheap, but one of the prescriptions (ordered two same script diff frames everyday glasses) is off - super blurry. Been trying to get a refund for 3 days because they obviously got the script wrong. Their CS is very slow - wonder if they're trying to drag out process to the 14 day mark to avoid refund. Extremely annoying. Have been ordering glasses online for 10+ years, never had this much difficulty.

I bought a pair of "progressives" from this company and the cost went from $15 up to $80 real fast. Ok no problem, I paid it because I needed them. I received them and the prescription was all wrong, I can't even see out of them and guess what? They're not progressives! Confirmed with my own optometrist.

So I contact them hoping they'll let me return them for a full refund so I can get my glasses elsewhere. The answer I get? We'll send you a label and we will "inspect them" and it will take 14 business days. 14 BUSINESS DAYS! That's more than a month so they can decide whether they want to give me a partial refund. Really? I will be filing a dispute with my card because this is ridiculous. I have to now go buy another pair since these are unusable and I refuse to give these people a dime when they won't even offer reasonable customer service.

Tip for consumers:
Go somewhere else.

Tons of nice frames but none of them fit my prescription since it's supposedly too strong, even though I had no problems getting glasses from a rival site or other places.I returned a pair of glasses and they gave me store credit so at least customer service is good.

I ordered 2 pair of eyeglasses and 1 pair of sunglasses. Per their website measurement process, I needed a size xs frame. I found this odd, but, went along with it because I did the measuring 3 times.
These 2 pair of eyeglasses look like I bought kids glasses for my adult self. They are hideous looking on my face.
The sunglasses I ordered bigger because the ones I liked only came in a bigger frame size. They are how the eyeglass frames should actually be.
So, I reached out to customer service, no biggie, mistakes happen. These people, multiple agents, argued with me saying I'd have to pay shipping again. For their error! RIDICULOUS! So, I asked instead for a full refund and I'd just order elsewhere. They do not agree to that, either.
So, now apparently I'm going to have to dispute it with my bank. Because this company will not admit to their own error
I will never order from this awful company again.

I have ordered from zenni about 10 times. At first, the glasses quality and prices were amazing, and the customer service was great. In the last year, Its been very challenging to get any real help through them. Email customer service is slow and unhelpful. Returns have been made to be very difficult, requiring to deal with multiple emails and a lot of red tape.

Today, my order arrived and the glasses are too small. I wont bother to try to return them, instead I will go to a brick and mortar store locally.
I'm done with this company.

Tip for consumers:
The customer service and new return policies are bad for customers, as trying on the glasses for fit should be considered. In the past, returns and exchanges were much easier.

Thank you for posting your Zenni review of your recent experience with our customer service team. We were sorry to read that you have been displeased with the return process when you have wanted to return frames you ordered that we were also sorry to learn turned out to be too small. Consequently, we apologize for any dissatisfaction you experienced as a result. The frame from your most recent order, o4792917930, placed on May 31,2022, and delivered to you on June 11,2022, according to the U.S. Postal Service website, is full-rim, cat-eye, acetate, spring-hinged, pink tortoiseshell frame 4437919, with a frame width of 131 millimeters. We were sorry to read that this frame is too small to fit you well. On your most recent previous order, o4657857721, placed on April 7,2022, you selected full-rim, cat-eye, flexible-plastic, translucent floral frame 2018723, with a frame width of 135 mm. We see no notes in the database record of that order indicating that you had any issue with the size of these single-vision eyeglasses. However, you returned your glasses for a 100 percent refund in the form of store credit to your Zenni account from the order prior to that one, o4550249796, placed on February 22,2022, in full-rim, rectangular, acetate, black frame 439521, with a frame width of 126 mm. Although this frame is narrower than frame 4437919, the notes in the database record of this order indicate that you were happy with the frame. Nevertheless, if you would like to return the eyeglasses in 4437919 for the refund option available for an order placed with a combination of store credit and funds from a credit card – a 50 percent refund of the amount of store credit that was used to pay for the order to the credit card used to pay for the other part of the order and a 100 percent refund of the amount that was paid for with funds from the credit card – insofar as this order is within its 30-day warranty period, which starts the day the glasses are delivered, 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 this combined 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, o4792917930, in the subject line of the email, and in the body of the email please advise that you would like emailed instructions to return the glasses in frame 4437919 for the combined store credit and credit card 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. Moreover, since you have had size issues with the frames you have ordered, we want to recommend the information we provide in an infographic found toward the middle of the bottom of every page of our website, How to Measure Your Frame Size: https://www.zennioptical.com/measure-eyeglass-frame-size-how-to. This infographic explains how to measure the dimensions of each element of a pair of eyeglasses you have now that fits you well and looks good on your face, so that you may shop for a frame on our website with similar dimensions, which can be seen under the enlarged picture of the frame on our website, under Details. It does not have to be an exact match. You have a 2-mm leeway on each element of an eyeglasses frame, with a 3-4 mm leeway on the temple arms. We also have information in our Help Center that is very useful for determining the frame size you need for a frame to fit you well: https://help.zennioptical.com/hc/en-us/articles/360049904633-How-Do-I-Find-My-Frame-Size-. We hope that this information is helpful, and we very much hope to hear back from you, so that we may resolve this matter to your satisfaction with a combined refund, and so that you may place a new order for eyeglasses in a frame that should fit you well.

Gave them my prescription as required. Selected "progressive" since that's what I have and want. The glasses that came were not progressive and, hence, useless to me. Kept chatting with their "support" for an hour to get money back, but they claimed I had applied for "single vision", a blatant lie or if it's something wrong with their shop. I was eventually offered a 50% refund minus shipping which I declined. I wanted all my money back. Don't use them.

I have been a zenni customer for several years. This last time my glasses arrived bent and crooked (to the point that the lens was touching one side of my lashes). Since they are plastic (clear) frames I contacted customer service. They sent me "how to" bend them back in place. So they told me to heat up the lens and try to bend back in place. Didn't work. Contacted them the next day and they tell me they can send me a new frame and I would have to switch out the lens. Why not just send me a new order and I send back the old one? Or I could only get 50% refunded. First off, I purchased these expecting them to come in good working order not bent. Why do I have to mess around with the lenses? And why can I only get 1/2 my money back? I didn't bend them? They lost a customer for sure. If they keep treating their customers the way that they do they wont be in business for much longer.

I have been a zenni customer for years without issue. My most recent pair arrived and right out of the box I knew they were wrong. Upon further inspection the right lens was the incorrect prescription. No big deal, mistakes happen. So I reached out to customer service and they refused to send a replacement or issue a refund until they "inspected" the glasses. And that inspection process meant waiting a minimum of 3 weeks for a refund or 5 weeks for a replacement! Totally unacceptable! I will definitely be returning these, but I certainly won't be ordering any more from zenni!

Tip for consumers:
Don't order! If they mess up you won't get a replacement or refund for over a month!

This company has the worst customer service and treats you like another number with their automated rehearsed responses. I purchased 22 pairs of frames from them and not a single one could be put toward their reward program that launched in 2021 when I bought those frames in prior years. They really show their appreciation for their valued customers. My last pair of frames had a manufacturing error and they wanted me to pay for shipping. Interesting. Good luck. This company has gone down the gutter.

I just ordered 2 pairs of glasses in desperation, as my last pair broke. I opted at check out for PayPal with 4 payments over time. It went through or so I thought. When I checked my bank acct to see if they had taken out a fourth of the total, I was shocked to find that they had taken out the full amount. I immediately called customer service and got a woman with a very heavy accent I could barely understand. She informed me because I selected the expedited option the payment could not be changed nor could the order be canceled. Even though it was less than 15 minutes since I placed the order. I just incurred a $4000 charge for a veterinary emergency so 4 payments was really needed. No where did I see that my order must be paid in full for that option or I would have only ordered one pair out of necessity. I have no complaints with the actual glasses. I've had several pairs from them in recent years with no issues. However their customer service is severely lacking and I am completely dissatisfied. In the future I will consider another on line eye glass retailer that is more reputable.

I started buying glasses from Zenni after I retired from the Army 12 years ago and have been absolutely satisfied. They shipped to the various APO addresses that I stayed at and had no issues sending out a new set of glasses when one of my pairs came in with the wrong script. The lenses hold up under severe impact and the frames do the job their designed to do and look good doing it. I buy very inexpensive frames and have had several people ask me where I get my glasses. I always tell them that Zenni is the place to go!

I had nothing but the issue with ordering my glasses that I needed an emergency replacement of. First, they took my payment but never process the order. Didn't find out until 3 days later. Then I had to reorder them and paid for express delivery. I didn't message about the status because the tracking never show anything. Found out on the 24 that it was at the fulfillment center in California wait for ting for FedX then tonight three more days later they told me got to the fulfillment center on the 26. They keep saying in 24hr I will have a tracking bit it been over 72 and nothing but the same lie.

Quality has tanked since they got big. Customer service lies. Lenses arent right on 3 pairs and I'm told to try and get used to them. Paid for express delivery for 2 pairs, one arrived, one didnt. The 2nd pair coming when I'm out of town. FedEx says they have to change the address. Zenni says sorry, label is printed. Asked to speak to a supervisor. Was told I didnt need to. I asked again. Was told no one was available, they would call me back. LIE. Not a company I can trust anymore
Sad, I used to love them. Wont order anymore.

Hi. We are sorry that your experience with our Customer Service department was unsatisfactory and that there was a shipping delay, and we apologize for the disappointment and/or inconvenience you may have experienced as a result.
We are also sorry that you had problems with three pairs of glasses. We wish to confirm that in some cases, when a customer reports having difficulty with a new prescription or with progressive lenses, we often encourage the customer to take a few days to adjust to the glasses. However, it is customary for us to advise the customer to let us know if their problems persist so that we can authorize a return for the glasses to be inspected and we will remake the glasses if the inspection results indicate that the glasses were manufactured incorrectly. If this was not your experience, we ask that you email your order number to online_reviews@zennioptical.com so that we may review your order and our correspondence history and try again to resolve this matter to your satisfaction.

Business History

Zenni Optical was founded in 2003 by two scientists to answer this question:

Doesn’t everyone deserve to look good while wearing an affordable pair of glasses? Thus, Zenni was born in the San Francisco Bay Area - a natural fit in the home of forward-thinking, tech-savvy companies. The mission was clear: Give people glasses they can actually afford but still make them look like a million bucks. It started small, a little company with big ideas, but it quickly grew into a phenomenon. Fashionistas, moms on-the-go, discerning customers; everyone found that they could get the selection they deserved at prices they could afford with Zenni Optical.

Zenni has since grown into an online optical industry leader. That’s prescription eyeglasses online. Prescription sunglasses online. Non-prescription sunglasses online. Sports glasses online. Goggles online. Maybe you get the picture. Zenni’s online.

Zenni Optical was built upon the following principles, and is dedicated to fulfilling them:
• To provide the most affordable eyeglasses to people all over the world.
• To provide the highest-quality optical lenses to our customers.
• To make it easy to order eyeglasses online.
• To provide exceptional customer support.
