Try ’em with your prescription—before you buy

We’ll send you up to two pairs made with your prescription so you can wear them for 15 days. At work, out at night, on a Tuesday—go for it. Keep what you like and send the rest back. You’re only charged for what you keep. Warby Parker offers shoppers a virtual try-on or an in-store try-on. We send real prescription glasses to your door.

Sixty days to decide, not thirty

Our 60-Day Delight Guarantee gives you two full months to fall in love with your glasses—or send them back, free. Warby Parker gives you 30 days.

VSP or UnitedHealthcare? You’re set.

Your VSP or UnitedHealthcare benefits apply automatically at checkout. No forms, no waiting for reimbursement. At Warby Parker, VSP customers pay in full and file the claim themselves. Here, your benefit comes off the total before you pay. FSA and HSA cards work too.

When Warby Parker is the better call

Maybe we’re not for everyone. Here’s when Warby could be the right fit.

You need an eye exam

Warby Parker offers them in most of their 300+ stores. If you’re overdue, getting everything handled in one trip can be easier.

You prefer shopping in person

Sometimes you want to try on a wall of frames and get an opinion from the salesperson standing in front of you.

You want your glasses adjusted whenever

Warby will tighten your glasses any time you’re near a location. We reimburse the fitting at a shop you choose instead.

Glasses backed by 30 years and 30 million happy customers

We’re part of the 1-800 Contacts family, so the service you've trusted for decades comes standard with every pair. Every order is assembled, inspected, checked against your prescription, and tested by our expert technicians before it ships from our Salt Lake City lab. And when you call, you’ll always talk to a real person.
