Warby Parker review

Warby Parker is a good place to buy prescription sunglasses if you like its own designs, because its lens guide says all prescription sunglasses, whether single-vision, progressives or readers, come with polarization at no added cost. Its homepage advertises free shipping, free 30-day returns and accepted vision benefits, and it lists eye exams, prescription renewals and stores you can visit. Warby Parker's FSA page, as indexed, says prescription sunglasses start at $195, but its sunglasses pages blocked our requests from our location, so we could not confirm a current USD price and marked pricing pending. The main limit is brand choice: Warby Parker sells only its own frames, so shoppers who want Ray-Ban, Oakley or Maui Jim should look at SmartBuyGlasses or FramesDirect. For people who need one pair of prescription shades and value a store visit, it is a simple option.
