Warby Parker keeps pricing simple: its eyeglasses page says frames start at $95 including prescription lenses with scratch-resistant, anti-reflective coatings, which are add-ons at many cheaper stores. Lens types cover single vision, progressives, readers and non-prescription, in polycarbonate or high-index, with blue-light-filtering, anti-fatigue and light-responsive options on many frames. Shipping and returns within 30 days are free, and extra pairs are 20% off. Warby Parker says it is ending its Home Try-On program and now points shoppers to a style quiz, Virtual Try-On on iOS, Android and the web, an AI Advisor in its iOS app and more than 300 US stores. It is in-network with several vision insurers and says out-of-network customers save an average of $100 by claiming reimbursement. Most orders arrive in 5 to 7 business days after the prescription is approved. The trade-off is price: a basic pair costs many times Zenni's floor.
