Warby Parker

Warby Parker is a socially conscious eyewear company founded in 2010 by four MBA students from the Wharton School. The company aims to provide designer-quality eyewear at affordable prices, making stylish glasses accessible to a wider audience. Warby Parker started as an online retailer, selling glasses for around $95, and introduced innovative services like the Home Try-On program, allowing customers to try five frames at home for free. Over the years, Warby Parker expanded its presence by opening physical retail stores, with about two-thirds of its revenue now coming from these locations. The company offers a range of products, including prescription eyeglasses, sunglasses, and contact lenses, along with vision care services such as eye exams and virtual vision tests. Warby Parker is dedicated to social responsibility, operating a buy-a-pair, give-a-pair program that donates glasses to those in need worldwide. With its commitment to affordability, style, and customer experience, Warby Parker has successfully reshaped the eyewear market.
