Optometrists aren't too happy about Warby Parker either. This seems like the Internet being the Internet for the benefit of the consumer.

Optometrists derive significant revenue from the sales of lenses and frames. If the eye exam is accurate, where you buy your glasses is interchangeable.

Orthodontics, on the other hand, seem very much to me to require a different relationship with the dental professional. I'm not so sure the "Warby Parker for teeth" notion is accurate here, nor desirable.
