Warby Parker's purchasing/CS experience is incredible and I've been buying from them for at least 8 years now. But I think I may try one of the more corporate brands next time because I've just never been very satisfied with their lenses. Supposedly they use an anti-glare coating but in my experience I still get pretty bad reflections from screens and have to wipe them down multiple times a day because of how easily they smudge.
As much as I hate the idea of giving money to Luxottica, I'm more than willing to pay a premium for nicer lenses.
- tomcam 7y agoI have been buying from ZenniOptical for years. I’m pretty nearsighted and use bifocals. As a test I purchased $1,500 specs from my local optometrist and $39 bifocals from Zenni. No difference except the Zenni frames lasted much longer. Also I’d swear the Zenni lenses were clearer, which makes no sense.
- ArmandGrillet 7y agoYou can go to an optician and get lenses installed on a frame that you bought elsewhere (at least in Europe). Did that for a vintage frame bought on eBay and it was the best of both worlds.
- dublinben 7y agoYou can buy full-quality Essilor lenses on EyeBuyDirect.com with very little markup. They're still part of the EssilorLuxottica empire, but at a fraction of the price.
