Hi Vicky, I received my glasses about a week ago. It took one week to receive them. I am very pleased with the glasses and the customer service. Warby Parker is a great company to work with. They were a little loose and ill fitting so I emailed them to ask about what I can do. They told me to take them to any local optometrist for an adjustment. They said if I get charged for it to email them a picture of the receipt and they would reimburse me for it. If they still don't fit to my liking I could send them back for a refund or a different style. I got the adjustment for free and they are great now. The optometrist told me they are one of the best quality online glasses she had seen. Thanks again for the information!
I am so so happy to hear this!! I love the great experience and it's wonderful to hear that they are great quality. They feel the best out of all of mine! I do love the customer service from this company and I truly want to order so many more!! Thank you for sharing your update!
Thank you for your honest opinions. I enjoyed seeing the different styles that you chose. They all look great to me! The sunglasses are perfect for you--brings out the glam!
I'm British. Spectacle buying here is such that I believe "everyone" is being served badly. Obtaining correct sized frames is an obstacle. I'd like to see a device made that determines correct sized frames on these: Size Example: Arm Bridge Lens 140 17 51 Fits most
Thanks so much for such a great review! I am trying to figure out how to buy my first pair of glasses online. This really helped me to feel a little better about buying online.
Vicky- I just wanted to let you know that I saw this video the other week and I decided to go ahead and try some glasses from eyebuydirect.com! As you may already know, I normally wear the Warby Parker Thatchers so I am familiar with buying online, and I found two cute pairs on eyebuydirect and they arrived today and they are so cute! Everything came pretty quickly, maybe a little more than a week and everything is perfect with them! Thanks so much for your recommendation, I got these two pairs for about $100, which is even better than Warby Parker!
Hi Alexis! I'm honored that you took my advice! I'm a fan of your channel and really enjoy your videos and your blog! So glad that you liked the site and that everything worked out great. I did see your picture of them and they look super super cute!! Thanks!
The mark-up on eye glasses is huge. Most frames cost the store $8.00 to $10.00. 99% are made in China. I went into an Eye Glass Store and just agreed to everything they offered me to see how high I could get the bill before they know they were robbing me blind. My cost for one pair of glasses was $ 845.00. It's obvious they are on commission, so feed me the bullshit because I'm totally stupid. I retired from Manufacturing after 45 years and know pretty much the cost of Plastic frames and plastic lens. Were talking pennies here. I did not order these $845.00 glasses. The woman was totally devastated when I got up and said thank you for your time. I think she had her commission money spent already. Look, when you spend that amount on glasses every 4 years or less, have Lasik done instead. That's what I did and was amazed how I could see razor sharp without glasses. Now that's money well spent.
Thank you for your informative video. I am interested in buying a pair of glasses online, but am still a bit confused about what I'll be getting for my money. When I pick a frame, does that price include the lenses or are they usually an additional cost? Thanks so much.
Thank you for this great info!!! I thought it was "funny" that we both have Coach prescription sunglasses. Matter of fact, they're along the same style, oversized and chic looking. Another funny thing was that when I first got those sunglasses friends who saw me in them would call me "Hollywood" or something like that. I never thought of them as anything except a good pair of sunglasses, but they sure got the attention. I still wear them to this day, and I still get occasional comments. The next time I need to get new glasses, I'm going to try the online ones. I really like the idea of having several pair of glasses. Thanks for sharing!!!
Wow....I was excited to see your video. Earlier this summer I went to a new eye doctor, just seemed like my old doctor kept pushing his expensive products on me...now the new one is doing same thing...he was charging me $400 after ins for glasses. The actual cost of glass where 1k....and no they were not designers. I said no and walk out with my prescription. The bottom line is I wanted great looking glasses for a fraction of the price. You named 3 companies. I got eyebuydirect and warby parker. What was the third co? Thank you for 411...I will be checking out websites tomorrow.
Hi so glad I could help you out! I had the same issue as you and so that's why I set out to look for alternatives. The third is Bonlook and they were all great to deal with!
What does having light coloured eyes have to do with being sensitive to the sun? I have very dark coloured eyes, but my eyes are very sensitive to the sun! Never heard this before...
More melanin also means better protection from the sun-- the pigment in your eyes literally protects your retina. Light eyes such as blue, green or grey are more sensitive in sunlight.
Thank you for your detailed information. I wear progressives. Would you know of any company that you can mail your glasses in to just have them copied? . Lenscrafters messed up the horizontal measurements on one of my glasses and it took weeks for a fix. Now that I have a good pair I would like a duplicate as transitions . In store I am paying over $500 for plain glass so I thought online companies would save some money.
ok I really need new glasses bad. How do you get them to fit around your face and ear with no one to heat them so the bend aroumd you face properly is my concern. Thanks,Coupon gal
Hi Vicky,when I had my Glasses from Glendale,CA I got good reveiws but when I came to Europe saw the Opticionts were 2 and half times more expesive,,colud you do a suggestion the Lenes Cours
Vicky, i enjoyed your review of online glasses, and agree with you. The quality is excellent, and as a retired optician, I can't even have those glasses fabricated for the economical prices you paid. Do you usually wear cl's? Have you graduated to progressive lenses? I enjoy your various reviews, and best wishes for your great information Jerry
Hi! Thanks so much for sharing! How did you get your pupillary distance measurement to order online? LensCrafters is so unwilling to give away the PD on file :/
+April Wood You can measure it yourself .. or have a friend measure it in mm with a ruler - starting with the center of one pupil to the center of the other.
Just discovered your channel yesterday and watched a bunch of your hobonichi vids (loved them and your artwork) but after watching this I subbed. Thanks for sharing this info. I am the same way with contacts and glasses. I would have been very upset though about the cracks…did you address that issue with anyone in the company? I realize you are ok with the cracks (low on the face) but I wonder if they would have made good on them if you told them and wanted it corrected. Just curious, because I would have wanted them redone, and I wonder if they would.
Thank you so much for subbing!! It means alot to me that people like what I do and it helps continue to keep my creative juices going!! I did not address it with them but another you tuber on here said she ordered from them and worked with their customer service and she said they were fantastic so I imagine they would be fine with replacing it!
question....did you have to go get any of the pairs you ordered online adjusted or fitted, if so was a regular eye place able to adjust them correctly for you?
Michelle Williams I did not have to have them adjusted but I have heard from people that if you go to a more local mom and pop shop they are willing to adjust it for you!
Hi! I'm wondering, have you purchased glasses from a private optician? And if so, what was your experience with their glasses, customer service, and value for your money spent?
castigrl4 Yes I have. I have had glasses since I was about 8 and I had gas permeable contacts. The optometrist would fit me and I went to him until college. I think that at that time it was really great. I think now with how easy it's been ordering online I just prefer the price and I know how glasses should fit. If you have never properly been fitted then I recommend that you do see an optician.
Hello everyone. Have you ever considered - Roonza 2020 Vision Genie - (search it on google it )?. Several people have dramatically improved their eyesight with it.

I happy to see this...thank you on behalf of all online business and all those that will benefit.
Great Video I been looking for glasses but did not want to go to the store. This is perfect. Thank you Vicky!
I know exactly how you feel! Glad this could help you out!
I just ordered my first pair of glasses at Warby Parker. It was so easy! Thanks again.
Oh my gosh!! That's so exciting!! Which ones did you get?!?
Those red Burberry glasses look really good on you!
Thank you so much!! xxoxo
I got the Sibley in Tortoise matte. Love them! The virtual try on was so easy and very helpful. I'll let you know how they work out. Thanks again :)
Those are very very cute! Please let me know how they turn out!
Cracks on your lenses are acceptable??! I can't believe you kept those instead of returning them for another pair.
Thanks so much for such a great review! I am trying to figure out how to buy my first pair of glasses online. This really helped me to feel a little better about buying online.

Did your two pairs of glasses come in as a single shipment or two separate shipments?
All look GREAT on you Vicki, of course it doesn't hurt that you are a very attractive women any way...thanks for the info!

Michelle Williams We, meaning private opticians, do charge to fit, adjust, and fix glasses purchased from other retailers.
Very helpful.
Swarthy Daisy So glad to hear that! Did you purchase any?
MissVickybee Going to order a few samples via their try on program 1st. Love that idea!
I got my Warby Parker glasses! Thanks for your review! I have a YT unboxing vid on my channel.
Cracks are not acceptable no matter how cheap the glasses or if the cracks don't obstruct vision. I would of sent them back with BIG complaints!

How to buy inline?
Some of the things you said you sounded like Miranda sings 😂 but great video thank you
Glasses look good on you but those definitely are not retro 1950's they are circa 2000 maybe.
revolver look best on u and sunglasses.
+Brothermonkey2 Luna Thank you for sharing!!
I notice none of the glasses were bifocals..i'm looking to buy bifocals
You can order bifocals is like $49 extra depending on the glasses you buy, it is still way cheaper than buying bifocals from an expensive retailer.
I buy mine at Zennioptical.com.
