I got 2 pairs of prescription glasses made in China and paid like $40 total, 6 years later and the only damage to them is poo poo I did myself, they're solid as gently caress. I dunno what your problem is with Chinese-made glasses, maybe you should blame their administrative end in  San Francisco

Ordered a pair of glasses from Zenni. I put in my script wrong (I asked for 2.75 on each eye, I meant -2.75) and they gave me a 100% refund, minus shipping, even though it was totally my fault. All in all a p good experience.

I am more pissed at the lovely response rates and times coming from "San Francisco", even though they shipped me defective lenses. All I want is to be able to wake up at night and throw on my glasses so I don't step on the cat, mix the baby a bottle of flour instead of formula, and of course for if the apocalypse happens and I run out of contacts (won't happen, the 1800 contacts depot is in my city, and I'm looting that first). But NO zennioptical has turned this into a month long ordeal and won't even ship my glasses back priority mail or some poo poo.

I have like 9 pairs of glasses from zenni. They rock. I just bought 3 like 2 weeks ago for 26$ total and that's with the AR coating. Also have some pretty dope shades from them too. Edit: the free AR code was FREEAR. I don't know if it still works but give it a shot.

I'd give it a try now that I'm playing with STORE CREDIT, but based on my last experience the "AR" coating will just be someone at tech supports feces rubbed on the lenses. *UPDATE* The code did work so thanks goon, saved me 5 store credit dollars!

The only time I wear my glasses is in the morning before I put my contacts in or if I am really sick. I don't even remember how much I paid for them, but it was probably like $50 at CostCo. My contacts are about as cheap as possible, too, and also from CostCo. I guess what I'm saying is go to CostCo, OP.

Afro posted:lol @ all the gently caress-eyed goons ITT same. I've also ordered from Optical4Less (it's in like HK but there's some goon that posts in SA-MART with some minor discount) which is also pretty drat good--a little more expensive than Zenni but a little bit better quality so w/e. I usually get Zenni since shipping is a bit faster but either one has been good and I've been doing it for over 6 years with no problems.

I'm a Warby Parker man - I've got a set of regular glasses and their sunglasses, and both have lasted over three years in great condition, including the normal glasses getting the arm bent almost 90° and being reset just fine. Their customer service is also on point; I forgot to expedite my order and when I called up and told them I needed glasses for work, they just said "Oh no problem, we'll fast-track those for you free of charge!" and I had them in 3 days. smdh at trying to save a ton of cash on something that you wear to help you see.

I've bought from them a ton and as long as you know your rx and have someone eyeball your pupilary distance it seems fine. I mean how can you complain about stuff that's stuff that's so dirt cheap - I would order an extra pair just in case and that's why I used it for so long cause I abuse my glasses. Yet this $20 black plastic frame I bought as a work pair has lasted a few years, and I actually wear them a lot because they're really comfortable. I had one time where they got the Rx wrong and I had to send it back. It took like a month but it got there. An addendum would be that I've bought from them since before there was a glasses department in every big store and you could really only go to a few places to get decent frames. For example, in my area, Lenscrafters was one of the few places to go. Basically you went in and found the frames you liked, then they would steal your wallet and rape you. With those frames, they had to last some time since they cost so much, and if I broke them I had to take them to jewlery shop since they have laser welding tools that can fuse a glasses frame precisely when it breaks in the middle. They don't look as pretty after that though.

The pair I just got from Zenni has a hairline distortion in the lens that gives everything a blurred and warped look at that area. Good thing their return policy is decent. (Also I'm a loving moron who used a nearly 1 year old prescription so it's out of date and the glasses were making me puke after an hour)

For my prescription they have ended up not really saving me much money at all when you factor in the time waiting, returning them, and hassle of dealing with the customer service after they sent me faulty lenses. I'd have been less pissed if I didn't have to send their gently caress up back at my expense and then got even 2-3 day shipping back, but no I've gotta go through all their hoops. Should've just bought the same crappy plastic frame that will last forever and spent an extra ten bucks or so at Wal-Mart.

I guess, for me, the stupid poo poo they put you through when they gently caress up was worth it in the long run since I only had one bad purchase. As a person who has, at times, been scraping by on very little, cheap glasses were like a cheat code. I haven't used them in a bit I guess so who knows. But for a while there they saved me a lot of money, I'm pretty sure.

I guess I'm also lucky to just be moderately nearsighted with a touch of presbyopia, so contacts work great for me. Uncorrected I have to sit uncomfortably close to my monitor, but am still functional at least.

I'm in the same no expendable income boat, and figured saving 20 bucks was 20 bucks I can use towards saving for a new car/fixing my current one at the same time and buying baby formula. Now I'm just crotchety and realize that they aren't as good a deal as before when you'd have to go to lenscrafters and drop a few hundred bucks.

I have been using zenni optical since back when they were on arpanet, before they switched protocols in 1990. Like 20 glasses ordered, sunglasses, librarian glasses, etc. All perfect.

When you take them out while you sleep and wake up at 5 am to feed an infant or take a piss you don't put them back in for 20-30 minutes. Also it's nice the have a backup plan in case the apolocypse comes and 1-800 Contacts stops delivering.

And then you're effectively blind if you're really nearsighted like I am. And for the record, I have two-week disposables right now but I'm planning on making the switch back to glasses.

Zenni actually rules, one time after ordering from them previously I ordered another pair and put my prescription numbers in wrong and they sent me an email saying "hey these numbers are all messed up compared to your last pair are you sure you did this right?" and then they sent me the right prescription. Judging by the garbage person timezone in your post maybe it's you who is the problem OP

Except for the first pair I ordered that was too small because I didn't understand the sizing, and a pair of ugly sunglasses of my own creation, I've nothing but good results from Zenni. Once you understand the frame and lens sizes and how big your stupid head is, the ordering process is easy (thought slow). My gripe is that they used to be cheap. The classes that would cost me $20 before now cost double because they're screwing with the frame prices and seemed to have gotten rid of the $9 and Under category. OP, you just don't know how to order glasses.

Hopefully sometime in October when I finally get the new ones they will work and I will at least have a non contact lens option.

Biomedics UltraFlex II 55 is what I have now, as my old standard UltraFlex 40 stopped being carried by CostCo. One thing that has improved my experience is using the hydrogen peroxide cleaner with them instead of multipurpose solution. I swear by the stuff - makes my contacts feel new for weeks at a time.
