Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating whether Zenni and similar online eyewear retailers mislead consumers by selling blue-light lens upgrades with claims about digital eye strain, screen protection, or sleep benefits.
What Consumers Report
Consumers report paying extra for blue-light lens upgrades during online glasses purchases based on representations that the lenses may:
- Reduce eye strain from screens.
- Protect eyes from blue light.
- Improve comfort during computer work.
- Help with sleep disruption.
- Provide added value beyond ordinary prescription lenses.
Why Consumers Should Be Concerned
Online eyewear shoppers may be prompted to select add-ons during checkout without receiving clear information about the limits of blue-light lens benefits. If the claimed benefits are overstated, consumers may have paid extra for a feature they would not otherwise have purchased.
Potential claims may include:
- Misleading add-on marketing
- False advertising
- Unjust enrichment
- Consumer protection violations
Signs You May Be Affected
- You purchased glasses from Zenni or another online eyewear retailer.
- You paid extra for blue-light blocking lenses.
- You relied on screen-protection, eye-strain, or sleep-related claims.
- You would not have purchased the upgrade had the limits been clearly disclosed.
