Is a 6.95$ pair of glasses, (to use your style of math) 13 X cheaper than Warby Parker, not even MORE pleasant to the buyer?
The selling price I mentioned was at Warby Parker at $ 96.00 including the lenses and not $ 6.95.
....................and I do know that WP is not ....yet......belonging to the Essilux family who also sells retail online at some around
the $ 96.00 mark.
So we did not even touch the point of $ 6.95 glasses yet

LC is owned by now Essilux, formerly Luxottica, who also owns lots of other frame manufacturers.
Warby Parker has its own brand of frames, they purchase directly from various frame manufacturers and have their own brand name stamped on them, and sell them for multiples less.
