2022 was an exciting year for Zenni!

We reached 50 million pairs sold and launched numerous new products for our customers.

REMAKES™

This past August, Zenni launched our first sustainable frame line made of post-consumer plastic. Every frame purchased supports the Wyland Foundation, an organization dedicated to protecting and preserving the world’s oceans and marine life.

The ReMakes™ collection includes 8 lightweight styles including 6 adult and 2 kids named after seas around the world. Each frame is available in 2-4 color options including neutral earth-ones and blue graidents inspired by the ocean. Starting at $35.95 for kids and $39.95 for adults, each unique frame is also shipped in a lens pouch made from 80% recycled PET (RPET) fabric extracted from plastic bottles and a cylindrical cardboard tube that is recyclable.

BLOKZ®

Blokz by Zenni glasses modeled by a person wearing purple frames and a brown top.
With over 9 million pairs of Blokz® lenses sold since 2016, it is one of Zenni’s most popular products. Zenni’s Blokz® blue-light blocking lenses offer protection from HEV blue light and UV rays up to 415-420 nanometers. They include an advanced polymer incorporated into the lens, as well as an anti-reflective coating that helps reduce glare.

In 2022, we expanded our Blokz® suite to include Blokz Plus and Blokz Plus Anti-Fatigue. These two new additions provide 12x more protection from digital devices than our regular Blokz® lenses and are recommended for heavy screen users and those with difficulty falling asleep at night due to excessive blue light exposure.
