Here's what it's like to get an eyeglass prescription check done virtually via Warby Parker. The startup is investing more in doing vision checks.
, calling on the agencies to take action on some of the online tests available. Eye exams like Warby Parker's are currently registered as class 1 medical devices, which means they're exempt from FDA review. To date, no online eye exam has been cleared by the FDA.Still, the day after taking Warby Parker's virtual test, I had a renewed prescription and could proceed with ordering my glasses.
While it wasn't quite the virtual, all-through-a-website experience I'd expected, the representative was helpful at explaining how much I'd be on the hook for and what all was covered. In the end, my glasses only cost $25 because of a prescription lens copay required by my vision plan. Looking into my Warby Parker account as well , it was cool to see my past orders and prescriptions all stored, like a mini eye health record.Funnily enough, my next move was to go to a Warby Parker store, again. I popped into the Greene Street location in NYC to get the frames fitted a bit tighter on my face. It gave me the opportunity to nab this selfie.While it wasn't as virtual of an experience as I anticipated, taking an online eye exam was pretty seamless and took about 15 minutes.
