Even if you have to wear glasses everyday,the right pair can definitely complement any outfit. I was blessed with poor eyesight and actually started wearing glasses in the 1st grade.

I’m very familiar with going to the optometrist and having to pick from the frames they have available. You can say that is now the old school way of getting a pair of glasses. I came across a fairly new player in the eyewear industry,Warby Parker. You won’t find this brand at your local optometrist. You can only purchase their glasses through their website. You’re probably thinking,“but I need to try these glasses on before I buy it.”Warby Parker has you covered. You can upload a picture of yourself onto their website for a virtual try on or take advantage of their Home Try On Program. The virtual try on is helpful,but it’s difficult to gauge the exact size of the frames. I really need to try glasses on to know how it fits my face.
Warby Parker Home Try On Program:It’s easy and free! Choose 5 frames,they send it,try on for 5 days,you send it back. Warby Parker pays the shipping both ways.
This is what you’ll receive.

It’s really tough to choose just one pair. Their frames have classic silhouettes,you really can’t go wrong. Warby Parker has simplified the process of buying glasses online and in general. They only have 2 prices points:$95 for one pair with prescription lenses and $125 for one pair with high index prescription lenses (thinner lenses for blind people like me). These are great prices in comparison to what I have paid for in the past even with insurance. With insurance,I would still have to pay $200-$300 out of pocket because of course,the frame I want costs more than what the insurance covers. Also,high index lenses and anti-glare are added charges buying from an optometrist.
Another reason to consider Warby Parker for your next pair of glasses is when you buy a pair,they give a pair to someone in need. So check them out,if you’re in the hunt of your next pair of glasses!
