Wasn't Zenni Optical years ahead of Warby Parker in the reasonably priced mail-order prescription eyewear game?

  Zenni is pretty amazing but seemingly not well known. Many of my friends with kids buy many cheaper frames from them (kids tend to accidentally destroy glasses it seems)

  In my experience, Zenni doesn't have as consistent an aesthetic across their product. Warby Parker is about paying for a "taste" proxy, rather than giving you a wide selection (much like Apple).

    Not to mention Warby Parker glasses are 2-14x more expensive than Zenni.

      Which pays for a lot of marketing. That's not insignificant.

  Zenni never could manufacture accurate lenses for me. They are have a horribl trapezoid effect.
