On 9 November I ordered a pair of rimless glasses from Zenni. They arrived today. In short, they are a mess. The build quality is very poor. This is the first pair of rimless I've had, so I've nothing to compare them to, but everything seems to be crooked. The screws that go through the lenses are all at different angles and the nuts are not tightened, which seems to me to be crucial because all these details determine the angles and planes of the lenses. In addition, one of the temples is slightly bent. Worse, the temples are far too short to fit my head because the nose pieces push the frames out too far--which is not necessarily Zenni's fault, I admit; I failed to take that into account when I ordered, since the glasses I've been wearing don't have nose pieces. They're also too narrow, so that the temples squeeze my head, but this too depends on the overall assembly.
I'm really disappointed, although not too surprised: this is about what I expected for $33 from China. What surprises me is that anyone has ever been satisfied by Zenni. I suppose Zenni might do better with simple plastic frames, which only require the insertion of lenses. Hopefully I will be able to return them for a full refund, but I suspect Zenni will not be willing. -- Check us out at the oft-updated http://glassyeyes.blogspot.com!
