My New Green Warby Parker Glasses

I received a pair of Warby Parker glasses to review. All opinions are my own. Join the Warby Parker affiliate program.

My vision is kind of terrible. I've been in glasses since about the sixth grade, but I quickly switched to contacts in the seventh. However, after a decade of wearing contacts, my eyes were not happy. About four years ago, I actually was confined to glasses for awhile. Glasses?! No way. I wasn't into it. However, I did always enjoy the style and color selections of Warby Parker. Something about their sleek styles and vibrant hues had me interested. I did the Warby Parker Home Try-On Program about two years ago, but I never committed to a pair of frames.

Until now. I did the at home try on program again, and I documented it for my blog. I did end up falling in love with a pair of bright green specs, and I knew I needed them in my life. At $95, including shipping, the price was lower than what I would pay at my local eye doctor's office.

Ordering was simple. I scanned in my prescription, and I selected the pair that I wanted. Within 24 hours I received an email back asking for further information. I needed my pupillary distance, and since my prescription was so high, it was recommended that I upgrade my lenses to high index. There are easy ways to find out your pupillary distance online and with Warby Parker's help, but I actually had to pick up contacts at my eye doctor so I had them do it for me. Apparently most doctors don't write this measurement down on your prescription, so make sure you get it!

After I received the measurement, I called Warby Parker's customer service number at about 8 p.m. on a Friday night. Guess what? A real, live person answered. There was no automated machine that had me press a million buttons to direct my call. It was one phone number and one person. I was impressed. I gave my pupillary distance over the phone, and I upgraded my lenses based on their recommendation. I knew my prescription is high, so I took their advice. It only raised my total $30. No big deal.

I received them in about a week. They came in a box with a hard case and a bag that doubles as a lens wipe. I enjoyed the free (and fast!) shipping along with the promise of returns being accepted until 30 days.

The sizing of the frames fit my face perfectly, and I liked the rectangular shape of the lenses.  I don't like crazy designs, so the bright color was perfect for me.

 Need some new frames for summer? Warby Parker has nine new shapes and four new colors to try.
