Opticians ensure our customers see and look their best by finding the perfect fit for frames, lenses, and contacts based on their prescription. At Warby Parker, we employ more than a thousand opticians across our retail stores, and they deliver outstanding care to our customers every day. Opticians are also integral throughout our entire business—they support our labs, ensure product quality, conduct training and development, consult on frame designs, and support store operations. We’re committed to the development of our team members so that they can have impactful careers within the optical industry. Through our internal optician apprentice program, over 500 employees have been promoted to opticians.

About us
Warby Parker was founded with a mission: to inspire and impact the world with vision, purpose, and style. We’re constantly asking ourselves how we can do more and make a greater impact—and that starts by reimagining everything that a company and industry can be. We want to demonstrate that a business can scale, be profitable, and do good in the world—without charging a premium for it. And we’ve learned that it takes creativity, empathy, and innovation to achieve that goal. Glasses, sunglasses, contacts, and eye exams—we’ve got your eyes covered. Shop prescription eyewear starting at $95 online or find a store near you at warbyparker.com Ultimately, we believe in vision for all, which is why for every pair of glasses or sunglasses we sell, a pair of glasses is distributed to someone in need through our Buy a Pair, Give a Pair program. As of 2020, over eight million pairs have been distributed—and we’re only just getting started. Learn more at warbyparker.com/buy-a-pair-give-a-pair.

It’s been the busiest time of year for our optical lab in Sloatsburg, New York! We opened this 52,000 square foot production facility in 2017 with the goal of expanding our in-house lab network and strengthening our internal fulfillment capabilities. Since then, our operations out of Sloatsburg have scaled tremendously–and we’ve opened a second optical lab in Las Vegas, Nevada. We’ve introduced more complexity than ever in our in-house production process–from progressive prescriptions and lenses, to complex frame constructions, to more offerings including contacts and eyewear accessories. I recently visited our Sloatsburg lab, and it’s incredible to see how much our operations have grown, and how much work is happening to ensure our customers get their orders on time, with the exceptional quality and value they expect. Thank you #teamwarby for all of your hard work during the holiday and FSA season!

At Warby Parker, our goal is to create a workplace where employees can think big, have fun, and drive growth and innovation. One of the ways we foster this is through our annual Hackathon! Over the course of three days, team members across departments come together to build new, innovative technologies to help solve customer and business problems. Fun fact: Over the years, we’ve implemented many Hackathon ideas throughout our business. This year was our biggest Hackathon yet, with 10 teams competing and presenting a range of projects. They tackled everything from building new tools for our retail team members to optimizing our lab systems, devising backend payment hacks, and even designing a video game. Congrats to all of our participants and winners!
