About Warby Parker Inc.
About Warby Parker Inc.
Warby Parker operated 323 U.S. retail stores at December 31, 2025, selling eyeglasses, contact lenses (11.1% of 2025 net revenue), and eye exams and vision care (6.4% of 2025 net revenue), with all eyewear regulated by the U.S. FDA as a medical device. The company employed 4,036 people and sold frames starting at $95 in a U.S. eyewear market the Vision Council estimated at $70 billion as of December 2025. Insurance-backed purchases were only 8.3% of 2025 revenue despite insurance covering roughly 60% of industry-wide U.S. vision care purchases.
Warby Parker generates revenue through direct-to-consumer sales of prescription eyewear, contacts, and eye care services across 323 stores and its e-commerce platform. The company designs eyewear in-house at its New York City headquarters and manufactures through a network of more than 30 partners spanning frame factories, lens suppliers, and distribution centers across China, Japan, Vietnam, Italy, and Thailand, with in-house optical labs in Sloatsburg, New York, and Las Vegas, Nevada. The filing flags dependence on a limited number of frame and lens suppliers and reliance on Amazon Web Services for technology infrastructure. Competing against vertically integrated players EssilorLuxottica and VSP (which own frame brands, lens networks, and vision insurance plans) as well as low-priced online rival Zenni Optical, Warby Parker remains underpenetrated in insurance-backed purchases relative to the broader category. Progressive lenses represented 22.3% of prescription units at December 31, 2025, compared with approximately 40% industry-wide, indicating an underpenetrated premium-lens category.
Show full overview
Warby Parker sources frames and lenses from a network of more than 30 manufacturing partners located most notably in China, Japan, Vietnam, Italy, and Thailand, with the Risk Factors Summary explicitly flagging dependence on a limited number of suppliers and contract manufacturers. A loss of any of these partners could negatively affect the business, per the filing. The company also relies on Amazon Web Services for its entire technology infrastructure; the 10-K states that any disruption of or interference with that service could adversely affect business, financial condition, or operations — a single-platform dependency without a named alternative cloud provider.
