Comprehensive exams starting at $95
We recommend an annual exam to help evaluate your vision, examine your eye health, and screen for other health issues. Plus, it gives you an opportunity to ask an expert optometrist any eye-related questions.
A detailed image of the surface of your retina for the doctor to assess your eye health and check for conditions like macular degeneration, glaucoma, and retinal detachments (available at most locations for an additional $39)
Thankfully, no—we have newer methods for measuring intraocular pressure now.
It's best to have this information handy:
A list of any eye- or vision-related symptoms you're experiencing
An overview of your and your family's medical history
A list of medications you're taking (non-prescription medications included)
Your vision insurance information (if applicable)
Any questions you'd like to ask the eye doctor
You should also bring any corrective lenses you're currently using—glasses and contacts—and a pair of sunglasses to wear afterwards in case your eyes are dilated during your exam.
A comprehensive eye exam includes tests for visual acuity, refraction, and binocular vision, as well as a full ocular health assessment. A retinal exam may also be performed, sometimes requiring pupil dilation. Learn more about what to expect here.
We recommend getting an eye exam once a year to evaluate your vision, examine your eye health, and screen for other health issues. Other factors may influence how often you get an eye exam, including your age, whether you wear glasses or contacts, and if your medical history puts you at higher risk for eye diseases.
We're in-network with most major vision carriers, like UnitedHealthcare, Davis Vision, Superior Vision, and some VSP plans. For other plans, like EyeMed and Cigna, we often work as an out-of-network carrier. (Not all optometrists accept all insurance plans. We can only confirm your coverage details during your visit.)
Glasses and contacts prescriptions typically expire one to two years after the prescription was written. This time frame may vary depending on your state's regulations and the risk of your vision changing more quickly.

Staff was very easy to work with. Selection was surprisingly robust and the difference in out of pocket cost was $400 saved.

I had looked at several places for glasses that I felt looked good on me and all the sales people pulled glasses that were hundreds of dollars. Any of the more affordable options were never quite right. When I went to Warby Parker, I loved that their frames started out at an affordable price, and the staff was extremely helpful and helping me find the right frames for my face.

I would give 5 stars, but the lobby was very hot. The exam, however, was thorough and informative. I'd go back.

I chose Warby Parker for the convenience and cost of their out-of-pocket eye exam for both contacts and eyeglasses. Really impressed with the optometrist here who took the time to make sure my prescription didn’t need to change and that I had all of my.questions answered. One of the kindest demeanors in an optometrist I’ve experienced so far and was definitely not rushed as others have been in the past elsewhere (not WP). Would definitely recommend.

After a 2 week, wait for the glasses. They were incorrect. Then, when I called the company to get it fixed, they said that it's going to be another two weeks before I get my replacements. I would shop around before you decide.

Just an all around pleasant experience. Both times I've gotten eye exams at WP they have been the best in my life. Very pleasant, good communication, and extremely informative. Glasses purchasing has also been great (in person and online) and I am thrilled with how well the switch to progressive lenses has gone, and WP deserves a lot of the credit. I couldn't recommend more fully.

This is my second review after the attempt of allegedly correcting the first issue with my experience. Recep! I purchased glasses and contacts went in last year in December 2025 for this. This is now month March 2026 still no resolution with what was supposed to be corrected. I’ve called into customer service about the last order of February glasses not being corrected went in for additional exam and correction for lenses and frames and still not sent correctly. I was refunded fully for my glasses purchase and offered a complimentary pair of glasses with special lenses due to my prescription. However the first pair I received lenses came extremely thick additional pair I just received today lenses same way and I am still unable to see out of the glasses. I’ve sent pics of the glasses to the review team still no response from the resolution department. At this point I am totally unsure as to what can be taken place as I’ve tried several
Times to get this matter clarified. I will attach pics this time as well to show difference in the frames lenses and how they were sent. They have this awful fishy smell.

Cameron & Georgia went the extra distance to help us select frames. Being too busy back home to find the time to address our eyeglass needs, finding a Warby Parker store while vacationing was fortuitous. We ended up purchasing 2 pairs each, and these two were skilled problem solvers, since we were going to be on the road for 6 weeks.

The attendant was friendly, patient and informative. She asked for my preferences and tried to match them until I made my selection. She stated what options exist and processed the payment efficiently. I'm a return buyer and am confident in the Warby Parker service
