In addition to low-cost, single-vision prescription lenses, you can upgrade to progressives, bi-focals or readers. Other options include blue light blocking lenses (for computer users), ultra-thin Trivex lenses (that offers sharper clarity and greater eye protection) and Transitions lenses (that automatically adapt to changing light). And if you want lenses that better protect your eyes from infrared light, blue light and UV light, Zenni Optical has special EyeQLenz lenses.

For serious gamers -- or anyone who spends a lot of time in front of a screen -- Zenni Optical is one of the few eyeglass companies to offer specialty gaming glasses. And for people who need protective eyewear, Zenni Optical offers highly functional, yet stylish protective goggles and glasses with custom prescription lenses.

For the more than 39 million people in the United States who suffer from migraines or light sensitivity, Zenni Optical offers prescription FL-41 lenses, along with a selection of fashionable frames for them. These are part of the company's new Migraine Relief glasses line.

Pro Tip: Finding the perfect pair of prescription eyeglasses involves choosing frames that fit. You'll find a free and easy to use fit and comfort guide on the Zenni Optical website that'll answer all of your questions. You'll need to upload your eyeglass prescription or provide contact information for your optometrist. 

As you're shopping for frames, look for the Try On button. Use the camera built into your computer or mobile device to take advantage of a virtual try-on feature. Or try the Zenni Frame Fit feature. Just upload a selfie and have the eyeglass frames of your choice superimposed on your photo, so you can see exactly how they'll look before making your purchase.
