My experience with these 2 companies;
Last year I had to buy Rx glasses for the first time. I bought 2 pairs, one WP and another at Lens Crafters. I went to the retail WP store because I had to try them on. I can't buy this type of product based on a picture on a website. I went there first, bought a pair that I didn't love but it was the best they had for me. Then I went to LC and found a pair of Ray Bans. The buying process seemed similar. Each store had to ship me the product a few days later. But LC wins for selection. The WP glasses feel cheap. The plastic material the frame is made from just feels cheap, unfinished, and are not comfortable. The lens are inferior, they have a prism effect when light hits them the wrong way. The Ray Bans are a similar form/material as the WPs, but they feel nice; comfortable, the plastic frames feel well made (no jagged edges), the hinges move nicely, and the lenses are great. Needless to say, I wear the Ray Bans daily and the WP are more of a spare pair. I won't be shopping at WP again.
To be fair, I don't recall the cost. The Ray Bans may have been 2X or more than WP. In which case, I'd still shop LC for the better lens.
