Hello Imgur, we are Warby Parker and we make glasses. We believe that good, well-designed glasses should also be affordable, and because nobody else is doing that, we decided we would. Starting at $95 (including Rx lenses), our glasses are a fraction of the cost of those on the high street, and quite often a whole lot snazzier.
Warby Parker: Best In Glass
Too busy looking at dank memes to get to a glasses store? No problem. After all, those gifs won’t look at themselves. Pick five frames from our website and we’ll ship them all to you; then decide which pair best suits your wonderful face. Not to mention all the cash you’ll have left over compared to buying glasses elsewhere. You could buy a drone. And you could even buy that drone its own prescription glasses. And a hat.
Get your sight on our site.
PS: If you've opted into an FSA for 2017, you have access to your full balance January 1st! New year, new glasses.

I generally don't upvote ads, but I love my Warby Parkers - have for years and just bought a new pair. Great company, great disruptive.

Fuck. Off.

How can I downvote this ad more than once?

$95 is NOT affordable. You can go to Costco (without a membership) can use their optometrist and get frames for less than fifty.

Thatrandomuserwithnoname
Been wearing glasses for 30 years, this fucking ad comes up so much I'd never buy a pair of specks from WarbyParker.
jrcandle
zenniopticals is more affordable for a college student

PSA: I have a smallish face, and I ordered some of their "small frames" ... I looked like an infant wearing adult ski goggles. Ridiculous.
dontdosadness
Me too! I texted them pictures, and they recommended some different ones to try that all fit perfectly!
TheCarpetMatchesTheDrapes
Maybe look for a decent pair in the kid's section?
aprendemos
Good idea, but I didn't see any kid's frames on their site. I ended up using glasses.com b/c they list all of the frame measurements online.
imaginaryupvote
Do you have any relationship with Luxottica?
altfiction
hopefully luxottica doesn't put a hit out on them like they did to oakley
captnspanksalot
they just happen to be an Italian company....
chptung
They don't! Was a big reason why I bought my 1st WP pair http://www.businessinsider.com/warby-parker-takes-on-the-luxotica-monoply-2015-10
Kaysmira
Sweet. I learned about Luxotica on Adam Ruins Everything.
Albalannae
Same here! I hated it so much, knowing that I need them to function and can do very little to oppose it. Glad we have the option now!
BewareTheJabberwockie
zennioptical is WAY cheaper... they only send out the pair you order... and it takes 1-2 weeks but its where I get mine.
blancheneige
For people who stand in the store putting on the same 3 pairs of glasses 20 times cause they can't decide, sending multiples initially helps
BewareTheJabberwockie
true.... I just buy 3 pairs for 7.99 each and then wear the one I like the most and its still cheaper...
blancheneige
A lot of reviews said they don't hold up well. Any comment on that? I beat my glasses up bad but they last
BewareTheJabberwockie
I have had the same pair for about 6 years now, no scratches...I've slept on them and stepped on them plenty of times lol. Worse thing was >
BewareTheJabberwockie
> I had to replace a screw on it once but just bought a dollar pair of glasses at walmart that had the same size screws and it was good
trainsman
Dear Imgur, Please go fuck yourself with a red hot rebar. Promoted posts WITH audio/video? I'm glad I adblock and starve you of revenue.
billadelph
Zenni Optical. Way cheaper.
libnitz
Yup. I bought mine for $15!
Cassandralala
Not sure where all the hate in the comments is from. I've had my Warby's for 2.5 years and they're great.
weaselbee
Yeah, I love my Warby Parker glasses, I've told at least 3 people about them and they ended up buying from them too and being super happy!
BlueandBlue
I agree, I love my warby glasses, they're good quality glasses and the company has great customer service.
theInternetKing
Warby customer here (for real) they make dope glasses, and I got two pairs for what I typically paid for previous glasses
dryditch
Most of my hate for WB is from the deliberate misinformation campaign they run about their CSR initiatives.
marpizza
My first pair of glasses from the optometrist were $400! Co-worker told me about Warby Parker and I never looked back. Cool and affordable!
shankycat
The hate is that saying you're the only one in the business supplying cheap glasses when in fact they are about 90% more expensive than say,
shankycat
http://zennioptical.com who have been around for over a decade, is a joke. And obviously, a lie as well.
eliporter877
how long have you worked for Warby's?
SnorlaxTheFlash
Well, at least you're not with Luxottica.
KeyLimeAnxiety
What's wrong with Luxottica besides that it's a monopoly? Actually curious
SnorlaxTheFlash
They make glasses more expensive than they need to be.
ninjawarrior13
Or you can go to zenni optical and pay $7 for glasses (including prescription). Just a thought.
Jusmar
I see this ad every other picture
gadgetneo
Why does this post continue to pop up? When I log in, it's not in the feed...the first click ALWAYS comes to this. This is spam!
MermaidMonkey
Every. Single. Time. This is the only freaking ad I see anymore, I hate WarbyParker so much now!!!
gadgetneo
I refuse to buy anything from them just because they are spammers.
Tikityler
Youtube video playing in the place a gif belongs... I like the potential here...
IamMattman
I would bet money they save that feature for the people that are willing to pay for it
Tikityler
Well I mean as long as core functionality is never messed with I don't mind that. Paid imgur no adds and extra features.
Tikityler
I would prefer we all get to use it but whatever.

Tikityler
There was no sound though. Auto-play videos with sound are cancer.
QwertyMcGiblets
I concur, no sound. defaulted to mute. I had to adjust the volume to get sound. I have no issue at all with this. +1 for new potential.
UnsaturatedFat
Steam does it this way too with their trailers when looking at a game. Not really that annoying.
AtlanticPENUMBRA
I got an autoplay with sound

I'm on Chrome and it started muted for me.
ThatOneGalFromThatOnePlaceThatYouTotallyKnow
OR OR OR you can go to zennioptical.com and buy glasses (prescription, sunglasses, tinted, etc) for as low as $7 ($5 shipping on any number)

zenni, good Rx glasses starts at $9 yes $9, screw these guys, zenni optical
Meowmix138
Lol... Zenni Optical's been doing it for a long time. $7 glasses with free lenses and $5 shipping. $95 is a joke.
Katheebs
Even with the $9 fee for having super shitty eyes, still way more affordable.
Squeezit
I couldn't figure out how to get my prescription for Zenni so I never used it. I still need to go in somewhere to get an exam to get

MPinky
Meanwhile, Zeni optical has perscription glasses with lenses + frames for $7.95 that comes with a case and cleaning cloth. So yea...
HeresJolly
Embedding youtube videos being offered to promoted posts but not common users is digusting. You should be ashamed imgur.
ICantThinkOfSomethingOriginal
Zenni is even cheaper, I have 3 pairs from them and they were all under 75
BandicootCummerbund
Thank you for this! I've been looking for affordable prescription sunglasses (I always break sunglasses)
F0Zwald
Hell yeah! Still wearing a pair from 3+ yrs ago. They finally retired em :(
catmemesandweed
There's tons of other places like Zenni, also.
ThatOneGalFromThatOnePlaceThatYouTotallyKnow
I got a pair of sunglasses (80% amber tint - so it was only $5 extra) that I wear to drive in. And a yellow tint for wearing in bad lighting
ThatOneGalFromThatOnePlaceThatYouTotallyKnow
And between the two I paid like $40. $15 for one $25 for the other
Rapunzelatrose
Got a pair for $33 from there. Just recently scratched the lens, but oh snap, it's only gonna cost another $33 to replace them..
hotcakepie
If you got the anti reflective coating and they're scratched, you can remove the coating w/ glass etching and will be good as new.
itsthevoiceman
Coastal is pretty cheap, too: https://www.coastal.com/glasses
cornedbeefhash
The pair I've been wearing for over a year cost me about $7 and I love them.
FelixTheAnimator
I just bought some from Zenni, should be here Thursday!
NotSoSmartAlek
I got mine for under $10. more than 2 years ago, I'm overdue for a new pair. :(
Meowmix138
Yep, I have about 10 pairs I rotate from Zenni Optical.

THAT is awesome. I won't wear mine because I keep breaking the nosepieces (they are like, perfect for nervous chewing. I swear.)

I have been thinking about doing this, as I lost my health insurance. I am nervous about getting the right strength though.

NoSeriouslyJustTryIt
I did my own and my son's with an online live cam tool. They are perfect.
UltimaCaitSith
It's also written on your existing prescription and glasses (I think). Width is printed on your glasses so you know what size you'd like.
ThatOneGalFromThatOnePlaceThatYouTotallyKnow
Pupil distance is different than the width of your glasses.
BewareTheJabberwockie
Exactly, they try to hold back on that because they know people are purchasing cheaper online frames now.
ThatOneGalFromThatOnePlaceThatYouTotallyKnow
like walmart wanted $80 for sunglasses. No. I paid $5 for my lenses in my glasses, fuck you walmart.
