I went to a Warby Parker store because I needed an inexpensive eye exam ($75!). The service was fantastic at all levels, and I purchased a $95 pair of glasses that I love. I've worn glasses nearly all my life and this the best and most affordable experience I've had.

I have 3 pair of glasses from Warby Parker (over 4 years) and my prescription sunglasses just got shipped yesterday. I absolutely love them! The quality is great and honestly, when compared to trying on expensive designer frames from the optometrist (Luxottica), nothing felt as nice and as affordable.

Also, I loved the fashion show at 4:56!

Got a Chamberlain and a Brady. Looking forward to them coming in manana. Both combined were half the price of my Tom Ford's!

[richrnndz]

Warby Parker all the way, I will never buy Luxottica products EVER! Again...

[FERMIMUSIC]

I'm a huge fan of Warby Parker It is one of the best ways to make a fashion statement. 😊

You didn't really talk about how the glasses held up after 6 months and what your use case was.

Just got my prescription progressive sunglasses. They are perfection at a great price. I LOVE this company's products, service and staff. The store in West Hollywood Ca is so CUTE. Staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. I"ll be back...

This is great, I think I’m going to love my WP try-on kit. I can’t wait to receive it on Friday.

Awesome video it’s very informative. I am very glad to learn this is exactly what I’ve been looking for when buying glasses. I ordered my try at home box today looking forward to it.

Hi Josh 👋
You're welcome, and, Thank You🙂.

I'm sure there will be some grateful people that hear about this.
I know how expensive glasses can be....I used to get ones that were rimless, making them basically, just lenses. And THEY were expensive ! ($300 +)...I never could figure out why glasses, minus the frames, were More expensive than ones With frames !

Anyway, my eye Dr. Told me I needed cataract surgery, (got so bad I could barely see my phone, which happens to be my one, and only device. No PC).

Had the surgery, one eye at a time, all went well, (had NO idea how bad my vision was, the difference was Mind Blowing !)
Didn't realize I hadn't even been seeing colors ! ....My favorite time was when only one eye was done, and I could actually compare the difference....I found it quite pleasantly shocking 😃.

The upshot, No more glasses needed, sans, for reading.

Sorry, I can imagine just how thrilling, my little story will be to You 😏 ❗

Thanks for the information Josh, I'll pass it on to my Husband, who is, cataract free, but has needed glasses all his life. ( Poor Guy, he's now jealous of my, 20/25 vision 🤓).

I just got my Warby Parker Hardys, I like them more than my Ray Bans, only thing the RBs have that the WPs don't are the hinges that can hyperextend outwards but I'll take the Warbys anyday.

[OnlineCitizenTV]

you don't wear them is like reviewing a car without showing the car because there's a traffic on the highway!! what's the point of the review?

[SailingSeignior]

I also accidentally ordered an additional case when I ordered my first pair. I felt like an idiot when I got my package and found out there were two cases but since you had a similar experience maybe it's a sign of a bigger problem of a lack of thorough communication. That was kind of annoying but I guess I can just keep the extra case in my car or something. Other than that, I have had a great experience with Warby Parker. I just ordered a new set of prescription sunglasses and I'm looking forward to see how they are.

[thevideosthatyoulove]

Thank you for your valuable input. Definitely buying now.

[Shaverboy]

Great review, which frames did you go with?

[wizbangFLL]

Yeah, frames are only manufactured by about 3 companies. All the other brands are all "private label" frames meaning one of the big 3 makes the frames but puts the other companies name on the product. Also frames are retailed for $200-$600 but in all reality only cost $20-80 to produce and the lenses which are sold for $100-$400 only cost about $30-$120 the higher cost being for the trifocal no line transitions with scratch resistance and high index. In other words there is a huge markup on eyeglasses and that markup has just increased as time has passed and automation has been implemented in the process. Mainly in the area of lens production. Note that the scratch resistance etc are for additional cost at other retailers.

[diouranke]

I just got a pair, very affordable especially with insurance

[loading...]

I ordered some glasses I got the high index lenses and transition I had no trouble with the ordering process it does tell you however that there is a case and cleaning cloth included you may have overlooked it in the process
I spent almost 300$ but that was by choice I didn't just get the basic scrip lenses and I got expedited shipping

[eyecraveoptics]

They don’t manufacturer their own glasses! They buy them from low cost factories in China at a wholesale cost of roughly $1-$2 their cost. Their Single Vision lenses are $2. Anyone could make glasses for $95 at $3-$4 cost!

[mekailahc]

I haven’t bought glasses in years but I’m tired of wearing contacts 24/7 now and want a pair of glasses I can throw on in the morning or even in the evening to wind down before bed. I ordered the 5 try on pairs and they will arrive Saturday I can’t wait!!
