Best Deals and Good Service

by SueS at Citysearch

Oh Bliss! Four new pairs of progressives from Zenni in under two

weeks!! I had always bought rimless

but I decided to try half-rims this time, and I haven't been

disappointed. And all for under US$234. I'm now the proud owner of

nine pairs of Zenni glasses, plus my sons each have a pair too. I am

a Zenni fan for life!

Two Complaints I have

by BlessedbyChrist at Citysearch

This is a unique opportunity to purchase inexpensive eyewear. For the great prices, you'll have to compromise on when you'll receive them. Here in NC, it took the full 21 days to receive my order for two sets (framed and frameless pr) of eyeglasses. Also, beware if you order frameless eyeglasses...the lenses are very THICK - 2-3x thicker (and yes less expensive) than the ones from Lenscrafters.I will end up having to get another pair from Lenscrafters because my Zenni pair (frameless pr) are just too magnifying, heavy, and thick to wear - there is a YouTube video showing this effect.

I've gotten accustomed to light lenses, and only wanted the prescribed lens strength- not magnifying glasses, or hurting eyes and headache to wear them.

• Pros: Price, frame quality
• Cons: Length of shipping time, and thick/magnifying lenses

Two Thumbs up for Zenni Optical

by Tomsun at Citysearch

I got my latest glasses from Zenni just yesterday. I was so happy

with the cheap sunglasses from my last order that I ordered another

pair with no tint. $8 for the glasses, plus $9 for the strong

prescription surcharge, plus $5 for shipping, equals $22 total.

They are great glasses and the frames seem to be the equal of any

other plastic frames I have owned. I got regular index lens material

which resulted in slightly better optical quality than my latest high-

index lenses. The mostly clear plastic frames (with black front

surface) do a good job of minimizing the lenses' apparent thickness.
