My Experience With Zenni Optical Glasses

Debating a pair of Zenni Optical glasses? I took the plunge on ordering affordable eyewear online + I’m sharing all the details today!

If you’re like me, you’ve seen ads for all sorts of online glasses companies. I’ve shared my love of ordering glasses online before, but I’ve always stuck with one company – Firmoo. They’re great, but sometimes they don’t have a wide enough selection. And of course – since online advertising is so targeted – I’ll see exactly what I want a couple days later pop up on social media.

That’s exactly how I discovered Zenni Optical. Of course, I was a little bit skeptical about Zenni, because their prices are so good and exactly what I wanted. Sort of a dangerous combo, but I figured – worth it to take the chance! Since I have no chill, I ordered two pairs.

My Experience With Zenni Optical Glasses

For the purposes of this post, I took selfies wearing my glasses since that is the most true-to-life example of how they will appear when you get them. Lighting in my bathroom is not great, but – you get the idea!

Zenni Eyeglasses

Like I mentioned, I found Zenni eyewear through a social media ad targeting me for exactly what I wanted. I both like and dislike that, but I went to their site and clicked around. I couldn’t believe how affordable the frames were. I settled on these neon pink frames and this tortoiseshell pair. 

Combined, both pairs were a little over $50 with shipping. For someone with a prescription like mine, I sort of held my breath and waited for them to arrive. Part of me was like – are they even going to get to Hawaii? I wasn’t convinced yet, LOL!

How Long Does Zenni Take To Ship?

I placed my order on March 23 and my glasses arrived on April 5th. I was impressed by the two week time frame for a couple reasons. 1. They had to put my script into the frames. 2. Shipping to Hawaii always takes a bit of extra time. and 3. COVID has mail backed up and there have been delays. I bet mainland orders would arrive even sooner, but two weeks was fine by me! 

Zenni Eyewear

Each pair came with their own turquoise hard-plastic case and I was sent an extra case for a promotion that Zenni was running at the time of my order. The first thing I noticed was how expertly packed each pair of glasses was to ensure no cracks or breaks during transit.

Admittedly, I was shocked by the quality of each pair. I sort of figured for the price, the plastic frames might be a little flimsy or the glass would be easily scratched, but I’m happy to report that after wearing them nonstop since I got them — they’re great!

If I’m being more candid, I like them even more than the more expensive pair I purchased a couple years back from a designer label. I was able to input my PD on both pairs to make them a bit more custom fitted and it worked out great following Zenni’s online instructions.

The screws/hinges are not weak, the plastic feels durable, and better yet – I only paid $52 for both pairs. My eye doctor visit costs more than that!

Zenni Optical Promo Code

Before placing your order, check the main Zenni page to make sure that you have put in any current promo codes! I had loaded up my cart the day before I ordered and the promo code had switched from one thing to another, so just double check to make sure you’re getting the best deal.

So, would I order from Zenni again? Yes absolutely! I think their selection is wide enough to please a variety of tastes, their shipping time is fast, and quality does not match price..it’s way better! Also, just in case anyone was curious, Zenni has no idea who I am and those $52 came directly from my bank account 😉 

Where do you order your glasses? Have you tried Zenni?
