We are excited to announce a new partnership with Google to develop intelligent eyewear! These AI-powered glasses will be designed for all-day wear and are Android XR’s first eyewear partnership. “Since our launch we’ve set out to transform the optical industry by leveraging pioneering technology to design better products and experiences—and over the past 15 years, we’ve done just that,” said Co-Founder and Co-CEO Dave Gilboa. “Looking ahead, we believe multimodal AI is perfectly suited for glasses, enabling real-time context and intelligence to augment a wearer’s surroundings as they move through the world. We couldn’t be more excited to be partnering with Google to bring together the best of AI and the best of eyewear.” “We're excited to work with Google to develop intelligent eyewear that will enhance our everyday lives. The eyewear we wear and the technology we use are core parts of our identity and our daily experience. Our teams share a commitment to leverage design, utility, and innovation to build products to help customers in every aspect of life,” added Co-Founder and Co-CEO Neil Blumenthal.

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.

Earlier this month, we hosted a speaker series at our headquarters in NYC with Jordan Kassalow, eye doctor, social entrepreneur, author, and the founder of VisionSpring. The event was moderated by our co-founder and co-CEO Neil Blumenthal, who was a director at VisionSpring (and the organization’s second employee!) before co-founding Warby Parker. When Warby Parker launched in 2010, we partnered with VisionSpring to also launch our Buy a Pair, Give a Pair program, through which for every pair of glasses sold, a pair is distributed to someone in need. Fast forward to today, VisionSpring remains our largest partner in this work, and with the help of all our partners, over 15 million pairs of glasses have been distributed to people in need through the program. Thank you to Jordan for speaking to #TeamWarby about what inspired him to found VisionSpring, how our partnership has grown and evolved, and what still needs to be done to address the global vision crisis.

Our co-CEOs, Neil Blumenthal and Dave Gilboa, recently spoke with The Business of Fashion about...well, being co-CEOs! Since launching Warby Parker in 2010, Neil and Dave have led the company together, merging their backgrounds in a way that, as Dave puts it in the article, ensures “one plus one equals three or four.” https://lnkd.in/g9Tkd7fr

Contributing to our local communities is a fundamental part of the Warby Parker experience. That’s why we’re proud to offer team members 16 hours of paid leave per year to volunteer. This Volunteer Appreciation Month, we want to celebrate the impact made by all of our #TeamWarby volunteers—in 2024, they volunteered over 3,650 hours with local nonprofits and organizations! #VolunteerAppreciationMonth

Step inside any of our 270+ retail locations, and you’ll find stylish frames, friendly team members, and a vibrant space filled with unique and thoughtful design elements. That’s because design is at the core of the Warby Parker brand. With everything that we do, we want our focus on fun, creativity, and curiosity to come through. Read more about our approach to store design, and how we recently turned our very first retail location into a living art gallery.
