Vision care can be surprisingly expensive. Concerned that the ability to see costs people hundreds of dollars, two visionaries founded Zenni in 2003 as one of the first online-only shops for affordable prescription glasses. They were able to provide affordable and accessible eyewear to everyone by cutting the middleman out and going directly to consumers. What started as a small, homegrown business in Northern California has morphed into the #1 online retailer in the world for eyewear with over 50 million frames sold to customers around the globe. In this journey, we continue to innovate but our commitment remains the same: Investing in vision care today means a brighter tomorrow for everyone.
