    Great staff, cool vibe! We came in as they were closing and they were all still very courtesy and helpful. Great COVID-19 safety precautions in place. You can try on glasses. They just go in a bin after for sanitization.

    Warby Parker does it right when it comes to picking up glasses. I came in looking for new frames and was greeted by a customer service rep who was very knowledgeable about all the frames inside the store. I wandered around until I found the particular pair that I just could t pass on. Getting new glasses is always an exciting time because it can add a new sense of style without having to do too much in the first place. I didn't even mind seeing the other employees engaging with one another, they were conducting themselves in a manner that made them feel more like companions or peers as opposed to employees. I ended up selecting these wide frame tortoise glasses with a transition feature. They will send them to me as soon as I upload my prescription and I couldn't be any more excited! I think I'll make this warby Parker my go to location from now on because so far they can do no wrong in my eyes!!!

    I've been waiting for this location to open and a few days ago it did! It's in the super cool, out of my price-range apartment building called The Shay in Shaw. Since The Shay is a huge building, it's helpful to know you can find the Warby Parker store on the corner of 9th and Florida. The staff are friendly and will greet you when you walk in. The space itself is very clean and sleek and inviting. There are seats to use as you wait for your friends to try on hundreds of pairs of the coolest glasses in the world. They have Warby Parker's entire collection, an eye doctor on site, AND a photo booth (genius). If you're in the area, definitely stop by. It's the coolest glasses store you'll ever walk into. When you're done, go around the corner to grab a latte at Compass Coffee.

    I get so many compliments on my titanium frames. The black Blair style suits a lot of faces. Everyone who assisted me was friendly and helpful and answered my questions to include the optometrist. The sales consultant picked interesting bold styles I never would have chosen for myself. The optician was great too he knew exactly what to adjust. The location is clean and convenient to the metro with books for sale. The design of the map of places to read in Shaw is cute but might feature benches rather than stones.

    Ok. So. I am legally blind. I mean I can't see anything. Just kidding, I can. But, #BARELY. So I have been getting glasses every couple of years for over a decade now but this was my first pair I purchased no longer on my parent's insurance. Needless to say, I was super intimidated and actually dreading it. But then I was like "I'm a strong black woman and I'm going to get whatever pair I want,cuz I'm grown,boo" So I went to Warby Parker. Im not even going to talk about the transformation of 8th Street N.W. right now because you wouldn't believe me anyway. Let's just say that if things hadn't changed so much,the only people who would be shopping at Warby on 8th would be your local crackhead. Anyway,after looking at every pair on the website every day for three weeks, I finally took a Lyft to the actual store and then after trying on EVERY PAIR, taking pictures in the photo booth, asking the girl if I looked cute for the 67th time, I finally chose the pair that this dude said gave him "sexy librarian vibes." Bingo. Exactly what I was going for. Cuz you know, you need glasses that are trendy enough to go with your man repelling outfit but won't actually repel men. Everyone in the store was so nice. The girl who rang me up, continued to compliment me, measured my face and then I payed UNDER $200! I have never purchased prescription glasses for so cheap in MY LIFE. And this is with the scratch resistance,anti glare, shipping, handling, everything! Also, everything went smoothly with my insurance, I just asked for an invoice and waited for my reimbursement. The only things were, it did take me a while to get them BUT it was the holidays, like I literally ordered them on December 20th. And it was HELLA crowded in there, like it was hot in the winter because people were so pressed. And it's like that every time I walk by. Like dang, do all of these people really need glasses??? What is in the water? Are GMOs making us blind??? Anyway, love my glasses and I'm secretly a lifetime customer.

    Unfortunately, have to update my review today. I walked in to check out some eyeglasses and the manager on duty (white woman with blonde hair) made me very uncomfortable by walking up to two of the employees on duty to tell them that could not talk to each other but only to customers. I was the only physical person (customer) present in the location and both of employees had already asked me if I needed any assistance. I told both of them that I would let them know if I needed any help. I never have any issues with the employees at this location or the service that I receive. But today that made me very uneasy hearing that two employees can not even converse while working. It felt very prison like and I just don't think any person should have to work in that type of environment.

    So much nicer, so much cheaper, and service that's superior to all other eyeglass places.

    Outstanding technician. Immensely knowledgeable provider. Delightful staff…read more Some optometrists are excellent technicians and refine your prescription to perfection. Some have great knowledge bases and answer questions on eye care with in depth, accurate, and actionable advice. Dr. Glasser is both, and arguably the best at both "sides of the coin" of any optometrist I've visited in my life. Importantly, Dr. Glasser and his entire staff are efficient and pleasant. They honestly try to make your visit as pleasant as possible. In an age where healthcare tends to be actively hostile to the notion of customer service, it is refreshing.

    I have no issues with the quality of the examination or my in-person interactions with Dr. Glasser…read more(several appointments over many years). My issue is the way I was treated on my last visit by his assistant after it became apparent to her that I would not be buying frames or lenses from the practice. Her attitude immediately changed when I asked for a prescription. She stood up, went to ring up my copayment, and when she returned with the prescription she remained standing and was abrupt with me when I asked her to explain the change in my prescription, which was in a format I was not familiar with based on what I received in prior visits. I'm an educated person who wants to know how things work and what numbers actually mean, not merely to be told that "any qualified optician will understand" the prescription. I was made to feel stupid and like I was an imposition so I left and fed the prescription into ChatGPT which politely explained it to me, including how a progressive prescription can be translated into single vision distance and reading prescriptions, and what the numbers mean. AI was more polite and patient with me than the assistant. Despite having no issues with the doctor himself, I will not be returning to this practice in the future. The barriers between patients and medical information are evaporating due to AI. Doctors would be well advised to ensure that they and their staffs at least match the courtesy of ChatGPT. Update: In response to Dr. Glasser's comment, all I can say is that it would have taken his assistant less than a minute to sit down and politely explain to me the meaning of the numbers. Regardless of whether I'm dealing with an optometrist or a cardiologist, I take it upon myself to gain a thorough understanding of my heath, which is what ChatGPT provided and the assistant did not. If the doctor doesn't want to take constructive feedback on such a simple point, then I suppose that my decision to go elsewhere is the right one.

    Wonderful experience!…read more Dr Lamothe was super patient with me and explained the why behind everything he was doing. I had a redness problem that another eye dr had dismissed as no biggie and Dr Lamothe let me know it was a gland issue and got me a prescription and other remedies to help relieve it. I'll be back!!

    I've gone here before (good exp w Lamothe) but haven't had eye exam in at least two yrs . I called…read moreto make an appt and spoke w the office mgr/ receptionist. He had a flat affect and set a negative stage. I said I prob need more than a routine eye exam but was happy to start w that. He lmk that a dry eye test isn't covered by ins (which is fine) and not to expect that I could do both in one visit (also fine). He then said, the appt will be 15 min tops, so it's not a time to ask questions. I said, of course I want to be able to ask a couple questions, espec bc of eye irritation lately. He said, "I see your insurance is (x) and that only pays us like $60 per visit. We can't give patients longer than 15, we'd go out of business" (!) I couldn't believe it. The rudeness and the gall of mentioning my coverage resulted in poor profit for them. I suggested he NOT say those things to new or returning patients and he said he was trying to manage expectations, that patients "always complain" they want to be seen longer but it's not doable. Talk about poor patient relations/ customer service. I realize what the medical system is up against w insurance is rough, but never has a public-facing clinic employee been so dissuading about the care their provider provides. I can't NOT recommend this place enough; take your business to an office that will value it.
