The frames are all unisex and can be set with any lenses, including sunglasses, readers, transitions and progressives. The materials range from barely-there wire-rims to lightweight molded acetate, with shapes and styles to satisfy even the most image conscious.
The store staff is attentive and helpful, going out of their way to make you feel welcome and at home. Warby Parker also has an onsite optometrist, giving guests a one-stop shopping experience. Frames are prepared and can then be shipped or picked up in-store. They offer contact lenses as well.
