Zenni Optical

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- I really like Zenni. With my prescription I’ve learned not to cheap out on the thinner lenses (it’s really not much more expensive and worth not having a headache from heavy glasses).
- My first pair was like $7. Even a fancy transitions pair was $60.
- 2nd, if you're not going to try the bendy kid glasses, go for zenni or something. My toddler broke my glasses and I couldn't afford another store bought pair I went online. Then when they broke those ones too, I bought a whole bunch of t...
- If you are replacing glasses this often check out Zeelol or Zenni! They have super cheap glasses, I order mind from there and love them! 😊
- Nope. Zenni is great and this is spam.
Cons
- I don’t recommend getting glasses online. I’ve tried both zenni and eyebuydirect, and both have incompetent labs and the online fit tools aren’t accurate.
- I've been using Zenni for many years. They have a guide showing you how to measure the distances yourself and you can upload a picture of yourself to get a rough idea how they will look . They don't always fit great, but they're so cheap...
- A year ago, it was easier, we would just go to zenni and order but after they sent me frames on two occasions with incorrect prescription which resulted in me spending money for doctor's appointments for headaches, eyestrain and vision p...
- I've ordered several pair from Zenni in the past, and have been mostly satisfied. Some of my progressive lenses aren't centered just right and I don't wear them. They're cheap and decent quality, so I still recommend them.
- As an optician I hate Zenni, people always coming to us with their zenni glasses that don’t fit properly, saying they’re uncomfortable.

I've been using Zenni for many years. They have a guide showing you how to measure the distances yourself and you can upload a picture of yourself to get a rough idea how they will look . They don't always fit great, but they're so cheap I can get a couple and use one as a backup.

A year ago, it was easier, we would just go to zenni and order but after they sent me frames on two occasions with incorrect prescription which resulted in me spending money for doctor's appointments for headaches, eyestrain and vision problems I never shopped from them again.
You’ll pay more if you use VSP insurance than if you use Zenni.
Zenni or Eyebuydirect are my go to online shops for glasses
