SEE WARBY PARKER

I recently visited the

WARBY PARKER store in NYC

HP-HTO

121 Green Street in SOHO.

WARBY PARKER has and will continue to radically TRANSFORM the eyewear BIZ! I am 100% certain of this!

These guys at WARBY PARKER are geniuses. TRUE VISIONARIES!! (lol)The company was started to end the monopoly one company had on eyewear and lower the ridiculously HIGH prices.

“By circumventing traditional channels, designing glasses in-house, and engaging with customers directly, we’re able to provide higher-quality, better-looking prescription eyewear at a fraction of the going price.   We believe that buying glasses should be easy and fun. It should leave you happy and good-looking, with money in your pocket.

We also believe that everyone has the right to see.”

…..Warby Parker partners with non-profits like VisionSpring

  1. Any idea if they use polycarbonate for the lens? I cannot tolerate this material, my eyes cannot focus properly. Unfortunately it’s the material that is used because of cost and lighter in weight. Going to check their website. I’m planning a shopping trip to Nashville in a few weeks, so I can visit their store.
