Warby Parker Glasses

The founding fathers of Warby Parker have conceived a noble goal, to create boutique-quality, classically crafted eye-wear at a revolutionary price point - $95.00, no shipping, no handling. The collaboration between the four undergraduates at The Wharton School in Philadelphia birthed an objective that consumers of prescription eye-wear have been waiting for; high-end top-of-the-line lenses with an inexpensive price tag.

Not only are these spectacles crafted by talented designers who posses concentrated studies in eye-wear design; but more importantly, for every pair of frames they sell, one is given to a person who is unable to afford a pair.

Warby Parker has distributed over 50,000 pairs of glasses to people in need, which empower them to become productive members of their families and communities.

After perusing through the quirky yet concisely written website, I was immediately sold: their defined mission statement – to provide the highest quality of prescription eye-wear without the high price tag of the set artificial prices of the industry, the funky-vintage designs (over pairs, and 1 monocle for you budding detectives or villains) and humanitarian cause. 

I racked up five pairs with the assistance of their virtual try-on software. In a week’s time, I had my first package from Warby Parker, welcoming and thanking me on my first step to my new set of frames. Enclosed in a sectioned eyeglass case were my top five pairs. 

Warby Parker encouraged me to try them all on which I did. After consulting with friends near and far, and posting the top five on Warby Parker’s Facebook page, the fan favorite was “Zagg”. 

Another week went by and I finally received my coveted Warby Parkers in my prescription. Not only did I feel like a kid on Christmas, but I felt like I was truly engaging in a charitable act knowing that someone less fortunate would be receiving awesomely cool specs, too.



“I have three pairs of WP’s, (had four but I lost one). Customer service is superior, [the] product is awesome, they do good, too!
 I love being able to see …with so much style.” Elise Maiberger, a loyal Warby Parker customer, said.



By cutting out the middle-man, creating their own independent designs and a truly customer conscious web-based sales approach, Warby Parker positions itself to be one of the towering retailers on the Web. So with out further adieu, visit their site and grab some funky-fresh digs.
