I'd look into the return policy for your last question, but personally I've been very happy with Zenni thus far- the optometrist gave me my written prescription, you pick out your frames and put in the measurements, and then in a week or two new glasses are in your mailbox. Mine average about $50/pair, which is much preferable to the $250 my last pair cost me in the office.

Wife and I both buy from zenni or eyebuydirect. Depending on what you want they are quite good price wise. And you pick your frames, put in your script, and choose addons scratch resistance, blue light filter etc. Order and they show up at your door.

Zenni is good, make sure you measure your pupilary distance correctly. They get you with all the optional stuff like anti scratch and anti glare, which are worth the extra in my opinion.

I generally get the cheapest shit from zenni, and I can see just fine. I'm happy with them and will continue to use them. No idea about returns though. If it looks ok online and I can see, I'm good

First comment was removed for linking to their return policy, but you can easily find it on the Zenni website.

> Has anyone purchased prescription glasses from zenni optical?

Yes. I have and have been pleased with the results, but you'll get a much larger sample of feedback here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Frugal/search?q=zenni&restrict_sr=on&include_over_18=on&sort=relevance&t=all

> I want to get eye exam and thinking of purchasing frames with lens from zenni optical but idk if they are good.

I've found no significant difference between my Zenni glasses and glasses I've gotten from Lenscrafters or America's Best.

> So how does it work, like what if I don’t like the frame and want to get new one, will they charge for making the lens again to fit in the eye glasses frame?

100% credit or 50% refund for returns due to not liking the glasses. If you feel they were made wrong, you can send them back and they may remake them. I had one pair that didn't feel quite right and I was pretty sure the PD was off, but they said they were made properly after I sent them back. So, I took the store credit and ordered another pair which were fine.

I strongly recommend measuring your current glasses and using those as a basis for filtering the available frames. I also found their virtual try on to be fairly accurate.

Worked like a charm! saved me $30 I would have otherwise wasted.

If you’re buying from Zenni make sure you get referred by someone! You get $30 off with no minimum spend. Here’s my link if you want it. http://rwrd.io/py6zuks?s

I think they look pretty good, and I am building this tool to help with this.

I was wondering if you were interested in helping out with this market research thing (looking to help people pick out the best eyewear frames based on face shape or pictures like this using AI).

You can do so through this google form (It will take 4 minutes max): https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdWroGpwc7KYaf-UWu9Ey8uRWYciHmUC-P_F3SxnKZiyJmyIQ/viewform?usp=dialog

Just beware that the first frame is pretty shit. I have two of them, as I like the look, but I can't stand them for extended amounts of time.

I like 2, but 1 looks good also!

I'm a rimless kinda guy but why settle?at the cost of the frames get all 3.

Thanks!! This works!

Ty it worked! 23.00 for 3 pairs! 🎉

Go to an independent local optician. Someone who brings the frames to you rather than just checking you out after you pick one off the wall yourself. 

Go to in person location again. Bring your current glasses and tell the optician why you are not happy. Maybe they will be able to help you find frames that fit and that you like...if they aren't helpful, try another place.

Trying on frames in person is really important. People just look at styles and ignore the importance of a comfortable fit. You can’t guarantee that online.

I'm like you. Turns out my problem is that my face is narrow and my eyes are close set and almost nothing every really fits me. Everything looks dumb.

Thanks a bunch!

I use zenni glasses as my primary pair. For almost 10 years now. I seem to need a new prescription before there are any issues with the frames or lenses. Happy customer.

you get what you pay for.

zenni is fine for a backup pair. but for your primary set of frames, you need the expert advice and fitting that only comes from a skilled optical professional.

I've had great experience with zenni and eyebuy direct. I wear progressives and I've ordered progressive sunglasses from both places as well.

My frames have never broken or even bent, despite falling asleep with them on and students pulling them off of my face to throw them.

In contrast, pairs of glasses that I purchased from america's best and vision works cost 4x as much and have broken under the same circumstances within months.

I just bought a pair. The frames are thin and you get what you pay for. For what I paid, I think they are fine. If they only last a year, it'd be totally okay with me. But I was very impressed with the clarity of the lenses. I got basic lenses with oleophobic coating and they were great.

I have bought from Zenni and I have purchased from an optometrists office. I've bought frames from Zenni that cost $9.95 and frames from a boutique optometrist that cost up to $400. What do you think the difference between the plastic frames from Zenni and the plastic frames from an optometrist is? For me literally just the price and where they are sold.

Zenni sells titanium and stainless steel frames like other brands like lafont in an office. Thin metal frames are always going to become loose over time and potentially bend though.

There's a huge company that manufactures a ton of glasses brands and owns multiple chains of optometry businesses.There's a huge markup on frames and it's a massive money maker for optometry businesses. That's why they're so pushy about you buying there, why they don't provide you with a copy of your prescription which you're legally entitled to without prompting, and why they don't list your pupillary distance on it when they begrudgingly give it to you.

I've rolled over, dropped, and sat on my Zenni frames. Haven't broken a pair yet. Not all places will put lenses in frames you bring but some do you just have to call around.

Thanks man! Been searching for a while and couldn't get anything over 15% discount. This really helped.

Heck of a deal

4, really compliments your features and style.

The last!

Not many people can pull off rimless glasses but those look great on you!
