Great selection of frames reasonably priced. The staff is friendly, organized and knowledgeable. The doctor is very competent, warm and ready to answer any questions. I felt comfortable and confident that I made a wise choice in picking Parker Warby.

I came here today with my wife with three pairs of glasses total all in desperate need of an adjustment. These scenarios often end up being awkward as it’s hard to get the perfect fit. Too tight on the sides, sliding down the nose etc. Enter Brittany - patient, kind, down to earth, helpful and an amazing problem solver. Brittany wasn’t my first stop - a different optometrist was and there was no competition; Brittany was incredible. It’s a first world problem for sure, but when one’s glasses aren’t comfortable you quickly find yourself thinking about lasik and today, Brittany threw her hero cape on and kept me (and my wife) in the glasses world for another day. Thank you Brittany and Warby Parker!

I was not impressed with the selection of glasses. However I picked a nice maroon frame with transitions. What came in the mail was not the color I wanted, nor did it have the transitions. Disappointed. I may have to go to the store for an exchange. The Eye Clinic was the only positive. The Eye Clinic was very thorough at 1209 Lexington branch.

Not a sustainable company. My lenses chipped and my prescription is still valid which I got from this store. They will not replace the lenses in the glasses I bought from their store. I have to re-buy the same frames. They told me I could donate my frames. But to who?

I went to the store on the upper East side. I was welcomed with a smile and greeting.Then an associate by the name of Arturo helped me. I had wanted glasses for people with little or no nose bridge. He observed I had a cane and a knee brace(healing torn meniscus). He offered to go upstairs and get options for me. I was appreciative and it showed professionalism and efficiency on his part. I also received help choosing the right pair for the shape of my face. This is important, because the wrong pair would not only look bad ; it could also not be appropriate for progressive lenses.In another store ,an associate was more concerned about up sizing to a brand name. That person did not know ,I am privy to game of glasses being made cheaply and sold to the unbeknownst buyer at a high price because of a" brand".That being said, I at least know I will get quality and a pair will be donated to a person in need. This was another motivational factor in choosing Warby.

I recently had skin cancer on my eyelid so 40% of my right eye lid was removed. I’ve never needed glasses before but my doctor recommended getting a UV prescription glasses or wear sunglasses. The crux of my issue is that I suffer from color blindness, so in low light wearing sunglasses makes it almost impossible to see and I end up walking into things unintentionally. I went to Warby Parker in my neighborhood after doing some research online, I was met by a very pleasant and helpful sales associate by the name of Eric. I explained to him my situation and describe the style of frame I was looking for. He was very helpful and made the entire process of buying my first pair of glasses that were not sunglasses more enjoyable than any other glasses purchase I’ve ever made. Give this man a raise!

Had to make adjustments to my new frames. They were squeezing my temples into oblivion. I decided to drop by this specific location for the first time ever. I dug the aesthetics, the old school pharmacy sign out front. Giant eyewear displays, lots of staff, who were very friendly and accommodating. I didn’t have to wait long. The young lady at the reference desk was very kind and helpful. I didn’t get her name but the lady with the piercings. Model employee. She worked magic on these frames. This is a great example of how a business should run. Originally, I wasn’t sure if I should go to the Lexington location over the Brooklyn one but in the end, I definitely made the right choice. Highly recommend Warby Parker in general but I recommend this particular location the most out of the other ones.

I went in this morning for an eye exam with Dr. Saima Naseem and it was a wonderful experience! The Dr. was so friendly, knowledgeable, and explained everything thoroughly. I am always nervous going for eye exams and I felt completely at ease! The associate who helped me find glasses after was also very pleasant and helpful! Would absolutely recommend coming here and will be back next year!
