I bought a pair of Zenni prescription glasses about six months ago and cannot fault them. I have two kids with glasses and one of them just broke her $400 pair. With this buy 3 get 1 free deal, I've bought her two replacement glasses, one for my son and one for me for just over $30 including shipping. Yes you read correctly! $30!!! Get your eyes tested via Medicare for free…ask for your prescription, then input your details on the Zenni website. They have a great range of $6.95 glasses and shipping is $10 no matter how many glasses you get.

    Wow! This sounds epic… Almost as good as specsavers 2 for 1 offer… And free post as opposed to free pickup… Where do I sign up…

    No deal. We don't know what is behind this US website. If they did anything wrong with the prescription lens, sometimes you won't know until the next eye check… If you have private insurance, you can get prescription glasses for free anyway, why bother risking your eyes and pay for glasses from a US website?

      Very old school way of thinking - Zenni has been around for a long time, I've had glasses from them for a long time with no issues - just because you don't know about them doesn't make them bad!

    • Diji1 on 05/07/2015 - 13:47

      What "risk" do you think your eyes face from a lens though?

      A lens that apparently you think may be so close to being erm - well I have no idea what you're referring by the word "wrong" - but so close to being "wrong" that the wearer won't know any difference potentially?

      BTW don't some types of vision correction actually cause the person's vision to become worse and this require stronger correction as time goes on?

  • Bunnyburger on 05/07/2015 - 12:39

    Remember to get your pupillary distance for each eye when making glasses, most optometrists withhold that information, and OC heights as well.

    I'm wearing glasses made in Japan, I had to use google translate to talk with the shop but I got top notch glasses at a fraction of the price!

    • swoods2 on 05/07/2015 - 16:57

      Haha was that Jin? If so, the glasses were made in China by designed in Japan. I got a few pairs from them and love it!

      • Bunnyburger on 05/07/2015 - 20:49

        Ooo no I dealt with a physical store in Japan that has an online presence. They sold me Boston Club Japonism frames and they mounted Hoya 1.7 double aspherical lenses for me.

        I'm curious, who's Jin? I'm not due for another eye review for another 18 months but hey I'm all for more options.

        • swoods2 on 06/07/2015 - 07:46

          My bad it's "JINS" http://www.jins-jp.com/

          They don't do international shipping I think … :(

        • Bunnyburger on 06/07/2015 - 12:43

          @swoods2: Nope. Did you get an agent to help you? They charge a hefty percentage but it's still better than the stores here.

        • swoods2 on 06/07/2015 - 19:06

          @Bunnyburger: nah I bought them when I was in Japan. Yeah I know of the agents, never used any of them though.

          Can attest to the quality of the lenses, they're better than even the $300-400 pairs here.

  • C781097 on 05/07/2015 - 12:39

    Have bought a couple of pairs of multifocals from Zenni in the past without a problem. Delivery is a bit slower than buying local but the glasses are fine. You do need to know your bridge width and arm length, and get the optometrist to measure your pds

    I ordered from Zenni about a year ago. Bought about eight pairs of specs for myself, partner and workmate, spent around three hundred bucks.

    We're not happy with them at all, and all three of us have gone back to wearing the specs we had before the Zenni order. The lenses are the very cheapest money can buy, plagued with reflections and optical artefacts. This might improve with more expensive options, but the Zenni web site doesn't mention any of this, just offers price, price, price.

    I also suspect that they got the prescription wrong for at least two of us. The specs just feel weird, and don't improve vision at all.

    I've got no problem with ordering specs offshore - anything to subvert the ridiculous cartel-like behaviour of local stores - but I wouldn't go back to Zenni. I've had good results with ausspecs.com.au before, have made repeat orders from the, and will use again.

    • morpheu on 05/07/2015 - 14:19

      plagued with reflections
      you didn't get the anti reflecting coating option for $4.95?

      • douglasb on 07/07/2015 - 21:10

        saw no indication that the specs were gonna suck without it, so no, I didn't.

    i've previously bought a couple of pairs (simple single-vision prescriptions) from zenni, but they don't seem to be competitively priced as they used to be nowadays.

  • mickeyjuiceman on 05/07/2015 - 13:22

    Have been using Zenni for about five years, with about 20 pairs bought over that time. Single vision - reading, computer, general wear - varifocals, etc. Brilliant, never had a bad set.

    However, they don't tint anything like dark enough for sunnies.

    • jzdhgkd on 05/07/2015 - 16:06

      I've noticed the same thing about the tinting - they say 80% on the website which sounds like a lot but when I first tried them on indoors I could still see through them quite clearly.

    • cbeard on 06/07/2015 - 08:17

      Did you get the polarised 80% or just the tint 80%?

    I've used Zenni serveral times over the past few years and have found their glasses to be of excellent quality.

  • Noobist45 on 05/07/2015 - 16:09

    Do they sell sunglasses (not perscription)

  • shaybisc on 05/07/2015 - 16:29

    I've bought from a few overseas online places but Zenni is the only one that's got multifocals right.

  • swoods2 on 05/07/2015 - 16:58

    Does anyone know if you can claim private insurance on this?

  • hamwhisperer on 05/07/2015 - 20:04

    I can vouch for Zenni very much. I own at least 4 pairs of glasses and I owned 0 pairs before late 2012.
    Someone put me on to them and I finally caved in on getting glasses, they are cheap and quality is fine - my prescription was spot on and it's changed once already.

    They are so cheap that I got multiple pairs incase I didn't like one - so I have an outdoors pair and an indoors huge ugly pair - but means reclined on the couch, I don't need to look over / under or adjust them.

    Oh and DO pony up the $4 extra or so for the anti-reflective coating though, it's worth it.
    Yes you're sending money off to China - but if you buy at OPSM / Spec Savers, they are just making them there anyhow.

  • KoNpHuSeD on 06/07/2015 - 15:59

    Is this the cheapest online glasses store? Are there any alternatives that are a step up in quality?

    • effgee on 06/07/2015 - 22:10

      No, they're not the cheapest. Like many others here I've bought from Zenni multiple times over the last 6 or 7 years, almost always been happy. Once I got a frame that was annoyingly non-symmetric, a few emails later they sent me a replacement frame and tiny screwdriver set to change over the lenses my self. They have gone up in price and delivery time in recent years though, with everything bizarrely shipping through the US, slowing down deliveries to Aus
