Neil then went on to create the eyewear company Warby Parker. The simple theory behind the Warby Parker business model Each time a customer buys a pair of glasses from Warby Parker, they are also making it possible for a pair to be distributed to a person in need through Warby Parker’s support of VisionSpring.
