Finding glasses can be a pain when you’re blessed with a large head. Zenni Optical is making things easier with its extensive selection of glasses for larger heads. How do they fit, you ask? We ordered eight pairs of wide glasses to put to the test so you can see what they look like on a big ol’ head. See our picks for the best glasses for big heads from Zenni Optical below.
You want options? Zenni’s got ’em. Choose from various styles, colors, sizes, price points, comfort features, materials, and more. I’m partial to a thicker frame, and Zenni did not disappoint. The Square Glasses 4447421, with its faux woodgrain temples and matte black rim, were exactly what I was looking for. If a thick frame like I’m wearing isn’t your thing, don’t worry – Zenni offers wide frames in just about any style you can think of.
Visual search is one of the more exciting features you’ll find on the Zenni website. You can search by uploading or sharing a link to an image with a pair of glasses you like, and then you’ll be shown options that look similar. You can even use your device’s camera to find glasses similar to the ones you’re wearing. Visual search is an excellent way to quickly and easily find exactly what you want.
Once you’ve found the perfect pair of glasses, you want to make sure they’re perfect. Virtual Try-On lets you see how the glasses look on you before you buy them. Click the Virtual Try-On button, record a short video of your face, and you’ll be able to see what your chosen frames look like on you before you order them. It took me a few tries to get the pose exactly right, but when I did get it, it worked perfectly. You can use the Try-On you create to preview as many pairs of glasses as you want.
Since 2003, Zenni has been on a mission to make eyeglasses more affordable and accessible to everyone by cutting out the middleman. That’s why their prices are significantly lower than their competitors. Offering a lower-cost product doesn’t mean missing out on quality or options. Once you find the frame you want, you can add extras that work for you. I opted for progressive lenses and an anti-reflective, water-resistant coating – helpful for surviving the rainy Portland winters we deal with here.
Even with those advanced options, my Zenni glasses cost $131.90, significantly less than other options on the market.
