Comprehensive exams starting at $85
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 $35)
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.

The salesman was extremely knowledgeable and helped me tremendously with my purchase. Since this was my first time being prescribed glasses, I was a bit nervous, but he took the time to explain everything and made the experience comfortable and reassuring.

Warby Parker at the summit is fabulous. Not only are the frames new and updated but the customer service is fantastic and the eye doctor is super detailed and friendly. This place is for sure worth the hour drive.

I was impressed with the selection of frames . At W-P, i can select just a frame without having to buy the frame plus lens. At Sunglass Hut I would be buying the complete sunglasses and then throw away the lens to replace with prescription lens.

Very rude and ignored for at least 15 minutes. One saleslady kept bumping into me and reaching around me. I will never go back in there. Do not recommend. Go downtown to the Pizitz much better service.

I’d been wanting to check out Warby for years, and when I saw one at Summit, I put it on my to-do list. I was FLOORED by how easy and fast the amazing staff made it to choose frames and check out. And my gosh, the cost was 1/6th of where I went for my first pair nearby 2 years ago…and I’ve never loved the ones I bought back then.
I probably won’t ever go anywhere other than Warby P now that I’ve had such a wonderful experience. THANKS, LESLIE!!!

Rude staff. Walked in with a friend wasn’t greeted by anyone. Didn’t get any assistance from anyone until a nice man approached 5 minutes later after looking around. One lady (employee) just about bumped into me and never apologized or acknowledged me. Very rude will never return and don’t suggest anyone (especially outside of their target audience, if you know what I mean) to visit.
