Warby Parker is an American online retailer of prescription eyeglasses and sunglasses founded in 2010 by Neil Blumenthal, Andrew Hunt, David Gilboa, and Jeffrey Raider. The company is headquartered in New York City and is publicly traded on the NYSE. Warby Parker pioneered the direct-to-consumer model in eyewear, offering frames starting at 95 USD including prescription lenses.

The company designs its own frames in-house and manufactures them through a network of suppliers. The product range includes optical frames, sunglasses, blue-light-filtering glasses, and contact lenses. Warby Parker is known for its Home Try-On program, which allows customers to select five frames to try at home for free before purchasing. The company also offers a Virtual Try-On feature using augmented reality on its mobile app.

Warby Parker operates over 230 retail locations across the United States and Canada, in addition to its online store. In-store services include eye exams performed by independent optometrists or employed optometrists, depending on the location. Prescriptions from any provider are accepted for online and in-store orders.

The company runs a Buy a Pair, Give a Pair social impact program, through which it distributes eyeglasses to people in need for every pair sold. Warby Parker has distributed over 15 million pairs of glasses through this initiative. The company offers free shipping and free returns within 30 days on eyewear orders in the United States.
