Zenni Optical review

Zenni Optical is the cheapest way on this list to get prescription sunglasses that still block UV. Its sunglasses page listed 1,938 items on November 13, 2026, with best-selling rectangle and square frames at $29.95 to $37.95 and a sale aviator at $27.50. Zenni says all of its sunglass lenses come standard with 100% UV protection (UVA/UVB), and nearly all of its frames can be ordered as prescription sunglasses with single-vision, progressive or bifocal lenses. You can add polarized, mirrored or Transitions XTRActive lenses during ordering. Standard shipping is free on orders of $65 or more, and support runs 24/7 by chat and email. The limits are that Zenni sells its own frames rather than Ray-Ban or Oakley, and that lens upgrades raise the price above the frame price shown. For a spare pair, a car pair or a first try at prescription shades, it is the value pick.
