Warby Parker is a company similar to TOMS shoes, with its Buy One Give One plan. The company, like many others, sells eyeglasses. The difference is where this company sells the consumer the eyeglasses, a different pair goes to somebody else in need. Over two hundred and fifty thousand pairs have been given out.The company partners with non-profit organizations. In addition, they help train other companies like the non-profit companies to begin their own eye wear business, helping entrepreneurs as well as those in more serious need.

"Like Better World Books and Tom’s Shoes, Warby Parker uses the "one for one" model--for every pair of glasses sold, the company gives a pair to someone in need via its nonprofit partners. Founded in 2010, Warby Parker now has 50 employees and has given away over 100,000 pairs of glasses." http://www.fastcoexist.com/1679534/6-companies-that-are-growing-rapidly-while-doing-good
