I have a set of reader. Not premium quality, but certainly serviceable. If you want premium lenses for progressives, purchase Oakley frames. Luxottica owns them, now, and they use a premium lens material. I struggles for years with progressives but then tries Oakley. Amazing! It's like looking through clear glass and no distortion no matter where or what I'm looking at. Up/down/left/right, near/far...it does not matter. It's like I have perfect eyesight with no spots that are weird looking or out of focus requiring me to move my head to focus like other glasses did.

I've had the same pair of WP for probably close to a decade now. I wear contacts so i pretty much only use them in bed, but im amazed at how well they've held up. I knock them off my bed stand at least once a day.

Ordered two pairs through them two different times and both times I ended up with overly scratched lenses with maybe 6-8mo of use.

Also had problems with the frames stretching out and falling off my face when I worked out or just got sweaty.

I have since switch to ROKA (out of Texas) and couldn’t be happier.

Actually wearing a pair of Warby Parker frames right now. Love em. Ive had these frames for 3 years and they hold up perfectly well. Would definitely recommend.

For an extra $50 they put in the blue light filter which is good for preventing eye fatigue if you stare at a computer monitor all day like i do.

Yes great experience for me and two of my kids. There was a store in OKC that we went to so we could try on glasses but the final product was mailed to our house.

I have a pair of sunglasses from ROKA that I use while cycling. They're great, especially if you're going to wear them for sport. Not once has it felt like they'll fall off.

Purchased warbys for a couple of years. Went back to eye doc this year. You get what you pay for. Warbys are basic and cheap.

Coastal.com has good deals as well. I have 6-7 pairs of cheap frames that I keep in different places

Heart Bongino the other day saying not to buy from WP as they were into some woke stuff or other. That's good enough for me to not purchase from them.

Use Zenni.com. It’s a game changer.. decent quality glasses for like $20-$40 ETA: Progressives will be more, but Zenni will still be far and away better prices


My sister used Zenni, and she is very pleased with all her glasses. I’m going to order from Zenni when I need a new pair.

I have a pair of blue light blockers from them. They are a good pair of frames.

Probably the best glasses I have ever bought. They were still less than $50 with all of the lens upgrades.

Warby is very expensive for progressives. Like $300 for the lens + whatever the frame costs ($95-$145). They are not worth $450.

Zenni.

I literally have three pairs on order right now. They’re $10 - $15 a pair.

I've had a pair of Warby Parker sunglasses for 5 years and I love them. Best sunglasses I've ever had.
