1. 5/5So convenient!!!! So SMART!!!

   I fell in love with Warby Parker and get at least 3 compliments a day on my glasses. But as you guessed, as soon as I wanted to add to my collection because they were sooooo reasonably priced I got an email from them saying my Rx was expired (which even them being on that is amazing) so I was like crap. Got to go do my yearly exam and I don’t have insurance so I usually have to go to Costco (which I am still grateful for because you do need to get comprehensive eye exams) which the app reminds you of constantly. But when I found out I could download this app and use it with my computer to confirm with a doctor that my prescription hadn’t changed for only $40 I was shocked! So I did it. It was so genius. Even how they have you measure the screen to your computer is sooooo smart!! My husband was watching me do the whole process and he was so impressed. AND they approved my Rx and it immediately went to Warby Parker and this time I went to and actual location (Abbott Kinney) so I could try on the whole collection if I wanted. They had all of my prescription info and just like that placed an order for two more pairs of glasses that will show up within a week I think. It saved me so much money and more importantly, TIME!! Thank you to whoever thought up this genius idea!!!!!

2. 1/5Great concept, TERRIBLE execution!

   I downloaded this app thinking that I could bypass going to an optometrist and spending almost $75 for an eye exam. The app basically instructs you to go onto their website and sync your phone with your computer, so that you may use your phone as a remote during the test. Sounds awesome, right?! It then instructs you to stand 11 feet away from your computer. Easy! The problem comes into play when the test starts. During the first test, I noticed that there was a bit of lag between what I was doing on my phone and what was happening on my computer, which caused me to select some things erroneously. So, I started over and just took my time to make sure that I accounted for the lag. When the second test came up, I was instructed that it needed to recalibrate the distance between my phone and my computer, which were still the same. It did this over ten times. When it finally passed this point, and started the second test, the lag was even more apparent. It also would stop in the middle of the test and make me recalibrate, even though I didn’t not move an inch from where I was standing the whole time. So, I just gave up. I’ll be going to my eye doctor soon!

3. 1/5not upfront about exceptions

   I love the *idea* of this app. Unfortunately, right now, it is only meant to help with a very small number of individuals. You must be single vision, near-sighted, a certain age, in a certain location, with no certain conditions, and with no vision change since your last prescription, of which has to have been issued in the past couple of years. While I understand and respect why *most* of these requirements are in place — it is essential to get a comprehensive eye exam every year and nothing can replace that — they do not do a good enough job of explaining this. A) The description does not specifically mention any exclusions, B) After you’ve downloaded the app, you have to create a Warby Parker account and grant them use of your phone’s location information before they ask you any of the qualification questions, C) Some of the qualification questions are not even asked until the very last step, after you have completed all of the tests. This is what happened in my case, I spent over 30 minutes filling out all of the information requested and taking all of the exam tests. Then, I was asked if I was happy with my current eyeglass prescription? I selected “no” as my hope with this application was to have my less-than-one-year-old current prescription replaced with a slightly stronger one as I can tell my vision has changed slightly. At this point, the app kicked me out, telling me to go get a comprehensive eye exam. So, not only did it waste over 30 minutes of my time and energy, but I found out that the app can only help you find out information that you already know — that is, your current prescription. Because of the execution of and my experience with this app, I cannot recommend.

4. 5/5GREAT app - one suggestion

   This is a fantastic app. It is easy and delightful to use and gave me a new prescription within 24 hours. This is especially wonderful because I needed a prescription update to get blue light glasses for working at home bc of Covid, and no place was open to get a prescription. Whole process took only half an hour!! The one small suggestion I have is for the last step. When you are supposed to choose your current glasses or upload a prescription, I chose my current Warby Parker distance frames which I had bought online using a distance prescription. The app said these were ineligible, that only distance prescriptions were eligible. I was confused, and almost gave up because I thought that my vision was too bad for app ( I have terrible nearsightedness and astigmatism). But I thought I would try uploading my prescription (the same one as I used for the glasses) and see what happened. Luckily I got a prescription!! So perhaps change the “ineligible” message to something less confusing because I nearly dropped off. But this is a small thing!! Thank you developers, PMs, and other relevant stakeholders for a phenomenal product!! You have really made my life easier and better!!

5. 4/5Straight forward, one suggestion

   I took the test since I was eligible and it’s SO much more convenient than having to take half a day to go out, sit in a waiting room, get my eyes tested, wait another 30 minutes for results, etc. and with the cost of the test + gas… it’s a no from me. I’ve been wearing glasses for 5+ years and while my vision has changed a little bit, I can still efficiently see out of my 5 year old glasses. This is a GREAT option for me. I knocked one star off because of uncertainty of accuracy. For the test you have to use your phone to swipe. For someone with small hands and big phone, this is pretty hard to do with one hand, since the other has to be used to cover your left or right eye. I feel like I may have missed a few circles on the test because of awkward hand swiping. If I moved my phone too much, I would have to recalibrate (which happened about 6 times during the process). One way I would try to solve this and maybe provide a directional keypad on the screen with the ability to zoom the keypad out to accommodate smaller hands. Other than that, this company has thought of it all!
