Warby Parker was founded with a mission: to inspire and impact the world with vision, purpose, and style. The company believes in reimagining the eyewear industry to demonstrate that a business can scale, be profitable, and do good in the world—without charging a premium. Creativity, empathy, and innovation are at the heart of everything Warby Parker does.

The company's journey began with a simple problem: glasses were too expensive. When one of the founders lost his glasses on a backpacking trip, the cost of replacement was so high he spent his first semester of grad school without them. Similar experiences among the founders led to questioning why great frames were hard to find at a reasonable price.

The eyewear industry is dominated by a single company that keeps prices artificially high. Warby Parker was created as an alternative. By designing glasses in-house and engaging directly with customers, the company provides higher-quality, better-looking prescription eyewear at a fraction of the cost.

Warby Parker believes buying glasses should be easy and fun, leaving customers happy and good-looking, with money in their pockets. The company's commitment extends beyond customers; they believe everyone has the right to see. Through the Buy a Pair, Give a Pair program, over 15 million pairs of glasses have been distributed to those in need around the world.

In 2019, Warby Parker introduced Scout by Warby Parker, their first brand of daily contacts, making buying contacts just as enjoyable and affordable as shopping for glasses. Warby Parker is dedicated to providing good eyewear and ensuring good outcomes for all.
