    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.

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

    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.

    Stay away. He made stupid jokes ("Do you drive? Well, don't drive in my neighborhood!") although I…read moresee well enough to drive (within the legal limit). Generally made me feel bad about myself. In the end, I paid $270 for an eye exam (twice what nearby places are charging) and the prescription was incorrect. I went to a cheaper nearby place and got the correct prescription, but it cost me several weeks of eyeglasses that give me headaches and dizziness.

    Will never go there again or recommend. (Wisc Ave) I had…read moreheard good things about Apex and had just moved to the neighborhood. Had a new Rx to fill. Brought my own frames to get lenses replaced. Had no problem with the prices and ordered the lenses. After spending ~$1200 they (manager?) seemed insulted that I asked for a receipt. He said "we've been here for 40 years!" Seriously? So what? After I insisted he begrudgingly printed one for me. When I picked them up they had not applied the edge-polish I had ordered and paid for. The salesperson took them in back and applied a slight buff, not a polish. I asked her to apply a polish and she went back and did it correctly. The thing is my lenses had an AR coating. Applying a polish to an AR lens can damage the coating - it's supposed to be done before the AR is applied - maybe that was the lab's fault. Nevertheless, I spoke with the salesperson about a different pair of lenses I was interested in, one for strictly reading/computer distance. I told her my working distances and knew just what it was I interested in. She proceeded to insist that that was not what I wanted, finally raising her voice and saying "fine, whatever you want!" Lots of glowing reviews on this site and that's fine for them - not for me. And, as background, I was a licensed Optician for 25 years before I stopped practicing to go to law school. I knew what I was talking about. The Rx/lenses were fine, but the attitude was a total turn-off. I'll never go back even though they're right around the corner from me and I'll never recommend them.

    Apex is great - it may be a little expensive but it's your eyesight. The selection is great but…read moreit's the service that's unique. They take such care in fitting you, and you can come back again and again and they stand by their work. I have bent my glasses pretty badly more than once and they have always adjusted them perfectly. I've tried other places but came back here a while ago because they are better than anyone else.
