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.

I was thoroughly impressed with the extremely clean and professionally ran Summit location. I was also very pleased with our WP representative who handled my order, as she was informed, knowledgeable, and prompt in taking care of my order.

Madelyn was excellent. As soon as I walked in the door, she asked me what I was looking for and started grabbing glasses for me to try on. She gave me different size and shape options to figure out what I like since I haven't purchased prescription glasses in 8+ years. It was a great shopping experience, and I ended up buying two pairs of glasses. I'm excited to start wearing them!

Took my 84 yo mother here to get an eye exam and referral for cataract surgery. Never got the referral. When I called the office to find out what was happening, I got an Asian person who could barely speak English. She told me there were no direct telephone lines to the office. Asked about the referral and she assured me she would take care of it. Two weeks later, still no referral. I called back and she had no idea what I was talking about. Asked me for the last four digits of THE CREDIT CARD NUMBER used to pay for my mom's visit to identify the account. Um, NO. This place is a scam. I highly recommend you go elsewhere for an eye doctor. I am going to have to take my mother somewhere else to get her referral to a cataract surgeon. Total waste of time and money.

My experience with Warby Parker was excellent. Madelyn N helped me make a decision on a pair of prescription sunglasses based on my personal taste and some of her own recommendations that I hadn't thought to look at. My son was also there for new glasses and she helped him as well. He was not as open to outside influence and Madelyn was great with that as well. Overall a great experience.

Outstanding customer service experience confirmed my decision to shop at Warby Parker at The Summit. I needed an eye exam and new prescription and new glasses/frames, and had wasted a week or more calling various optometrists and vision centers only to find most places did not coot my insurance (UHC AARP Medicare Advantage). At the same time, I had been shopping for frames and settled on Warby Parker who had three styles that appealed to me and had a great online shopping interface. When I received an email from Warby Parker notifying me that they offered eye exams in store with a licensed eye doctor, I immediately reached out to schedule. They got me in the next day and the entire experience was outstanding. Everyone on the team was helpful, my insurance covered my eye exam with only a modest out of pocket for the Digital retinal imaging, and covered over half of my frames and special lens requirements. They even made some adjustments on my existing glasses to tide me over till my new glasses arrive. Bravo to WP at The Summit in Birmingham. It's fitting that they are right next to The Apple Store, as both provide "insanely great" customer service (and products), as Steve Jobs would call it.

Highly recommend WP at the Summit! The lovely sales girl who helped me was patient, kind, and very knowledgeable. She didn’t tell me just what she thought I may want to hear on styles, but listened to what I wanted and needed. Not only was she honest, but extremely helpful to me making my final decision on the prescription gasses and sunglasses that I ordered and can’t wait to arrive!

Warby Parker is THE place for eye exams and eyewear. Their prices are fair considering the quality of goods and services you receive. They are wonderful and the staff are always so nice, well versed in their trade, and helpful! I have been a WP customer for over 10 years now.

The associate was ok, she picked a pair of frames for my face type, not bad, I didn't like the color of frames, that's when it changed and she lost interest quick. Made in China frames! I been wearing glasses for 50 years, I think I know what looks good on me, no purchase. Seemed a little high sales oriented

Very knowledgeable and efficient staff. Staff noticed style of frames I had one. I like the style I had on. She showed me where they were in the shop made a suggestion after I tried on some. From walking in picking frames and completing the purchase took about 25 minutes. I have purchase Warby Parker. Before and like their product.
