Never heard of them!
I went to Lens Crafters and got a really good deal on my glasses!

I've done two home trials and I do plan to order a pair from them in a month or two when I have a little more disposable income. The glasses are really cute and inexpensive and the cool thing is that they donate a pair for every pair that someone purchases.

I just got my glasses from them last month! I love the glasses, and the customer service was really great.

My husband just ordered from them and has had a great experience so far. They needed to update his prescription and did it free of charge!

Yep and yep! Loved the home trial and easy to order as well as a great business model. I've also purchased a gift card for DH who then ordered sunglasses (non Rx) from them.

I have two pairs and I LOVE them! The home try on is such a great idea for an online store. I want another pair now that I really need to wear them most the time.

I have rx sunglasses and glasses from Warby Parker. The home try-ons were easy, the quality is great, and I get a ton of compliments on them!

I'm SO interested in this!! I even uploaded my picture for the virtual try-on. I'm just worried because I have no nose bridge (flat asian nose here) so I can't wear a lot of glasses without nose pads... and I hate nose pads!! Also, what do you do about adjustments?? I always take like an hour with the glasses tech to adjust my glasses!

I have two pairs of Warby Parkers and I LOVE them! Bought my first pair over two years ago and they are still holding up well with daily wear. Bought another pair last month to be able to switch things up
@mrs. wagon: The at-home try-on will help you see if pairs are comfortable and really fit with your face. I am not asian but I have a flatter nose bridge and I find my pairs are comfortable although they slide down a little here and there. And about adjustments, I haven't had to even with my last pair that I wore the heck out of. Because they're acetate (most of them) adjustments wouldn't really be an easy thing to do anyway. I have heard of people going to independant glasses stores and paying to have them adjusted if needed. And with the super low price, it's an affordable option.
@aprk: I also wish the sunglasses came in the high index lenses. I've been wanting a pair of Rx sunglasses for YEARS and was so excited when they introduced them, only to be disappointed that it wouldn't work for me. I'm holding out hope that they will start making them in the near future though!

@lindseykaye: I got so far as to order them and then got an email that they wouldn't process it. Sad

@mrs. wagon: Even if you don't end up loving them, the try-on is free so there's no harm in checking it out. And my tip (if you have them) is to wear the frames you like with contacts in for an extended amount of time, like while doing chores or out to dinner for the night. Then you can feel how comfortable they are after a couple hours. There is a big difference between just trying them on and actually wearing them for a while. Good luck! Hope you find a pair you love
Oh, and I think it's funny that with both pairs I own I ended up purchasing the ones that I thought I would like the least! My first pair was put in my try-on box by the staff when I only picked out four and they filled the rest of the slots for me. Then this pair I threw in last minute because I couldn't decide and even said to DH "I think I'll hate those" and what do you know, they were my favorite and I get compliments on them all the time!

I have! I'm wearing mine now I love them, they are so much cheaper than other glasses I've gotten and I've gotten more compliments on them than any others! I got these ones: http://www.warbyparker.com/women/optical/sims-striped-sassafras-f I definitely recommend! If anyone lives in the NYC area, they have a showroom where you can try all their frames on. That's how I picked mine, and I think you get about $5 off if you order in the showroom.

@MrsSCB: I have the same glasses! LOVE them. My other pair is the Roarke in sandalwood matte but they discontinued that frame and finish
