"I got my Zenni glasses a couple days ago.

They seem fine - 2 days of wear with no headaches and good vision.

I will need to get the ear-rims adjusted to fit a little better. The frames are very light (went with the Stainless Steel). They seem very good for $32. I wouldn't expect better on the usual $250 pairs of glasses I get in stores.

They did take 23 days to arrive - for a non-complex order (as opposed to the 14 days + a few extra for complex orders according to the web page). After 18 days, I emailed to inquire about whether they had a tracking number or could estimate arrival, and they said that the glasses would ship the next day from north of San Francisco. Then, upon shipment, I would receive a tracking number (USPS). I did get a tracking number the next day, and 5 days later, the glasses showed up. (The tracking wasn't helpful for me, however, as it was apparently just for delivery confirmation - no updates en route).

I plan to order again for other pairs.

I've worn glasses for over 12 years and know pretty well what size/style frames I like. So, when it came time to order, I spent some time looking in stores and found some styles I liked, and noted the sizes for those styles.

My optometrist told me to have the store next door take my PD (pupillary distance) measurement and add it to the prescription.

I was then armed with what I needed to find a suitable pair. Zenni doesn't have a huge selection, but I did find a suitable pair."

"Ordered pair of titanium rimless prescription glasses for my son. They fit perfect and were of high quality. $33.90 counting shipping. Similar glasses ordered from eyeglass shop were over $200. I'm VERY happy with this purchase and intend to order here whenever we need new glasses!"

"I bought a pair of memory plastic frames with high index lenses. The prescription is just perfect the fir is fine and the package arrived on time. I received my glasses in exaactly 2 weeks. I paid 23.95 for the frames and 4.95 for shipping. The frames are light weight and a similar pair would fetch $200 to $300 at my typical optics store. I will be ordering another pair very soon."

"This is the second order I've placed with Zenni. My daughter placed the first order and we waited to see how they turned out before I placed another order. The quality was great so I ordered additional glasses for myself, my mother, and my daughter. My intent was to use them as back-up glasses but I like them so much more than my original glasses (for which I paid $150) that I use them as my primary lenses. The order was delivered in 9 days and all the glasses were perfect and high quality. I will definitely order again. You can't beat the quality and price."

"Ordered my eyeglasses on Thursday, June 1st and they arrived just 6 working days later, on Friday, June 9th. Upon ordering, I received an immediate email, confirming the order and containing a copy of my invoice. Then, a few days later, I received another email, which stated that my order had shipped, and gave me a USPS tracking number so that I could track the shipment online. I ordered the rimless style with a titanium frame, and they are fantastic! One of the nice things about this company is that they give you a choice of lenses when ordering the rimless. Because you are not limited by a predetermined frame shape, you can pick out the "frame" (which is just the nosepiece and earpieces on the rimless), and then choose your desired lens shape and size from a chart they provide, which has drawings of the lens shapes and very detailed information about the height and width of the lenses. Most of the time, what you see is what you get, even with the rimless. I liked bein able to choose the exact combination that I wanted. When I got my new prescription a few weeks ago, I almost ordered a very similar pair from the eye doctor's retail store, which would have ended up costing close to $300, when they added up all the "extras". I decided that I would order them over the internet instead, and I'm glad I did. This pair cost just under $60, for a titanium hingeless frame, an anti-reflective coating on the lenses, anti-scratch coating (which is included free),a pair of clip-on sunglasses, and the shipping cost (which is $4.95 total for any order, whether you order 1 pair or 50 pairs). A word about the clip-on sunglasses, though... because of how they're designed, I'm a little afraid to put them on the rimless lenses because I'm afraid of scratching the lenses. I think they would be fine on rimmed frames, or even half-rims, where there is a rim to support the plastic clip which clips on from the top. So, I don't know if I will use them on these particular glasses, but they were only $2.95, so I figured it was worth a shot. Other than that, I am very satisfied with my purchase. The glasses appear to be made with good workmanship, my prescription is correct, they are lightweight and attractive, and the price was great. They do also have many other equally attractive frame choices which are even less expensive than these. I just wanted the titanium hingeless ones, so that if my 2-yr old gets her hands on them, she won't be able to demolish them quite as easily. My prescription is fairly high (-3.75 in each eye), and they do give you the option of ordering the more high-index lenses for an extra cost, but I just went with their basic 1.56 index lens (no extra cost), and they are just fine. Overall, I would say that my experience was a very positive one, and I would definitely order from them again."

"Ordered on 6/29/06, glasses arrived today, 7/7/06. Pretty quick, considering the 4th of July holiday and a weekend in there. Glasses fit and I'm using them right now to view the computer screen and they work just fine. Great experience, and will purchase again in the future from them if the opportunity arises."

"Very pleased with my purchase. I got my glasses in about 1 1/2 weeks (they state it may take up to 2 weeks), the price was right and the quality was on par with any other brick and mortar establishment."
