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.

Loved the store and the employees! I believe Taylor assisted me from the beginning, and she was incredibly nice, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout the whole experience. I ended up buying two pairs and will definitely be back for more!

I had a great visit at your Pasadena location. Your staff was stellar top to bottom, your optometrist and assistant were fantastic. Exceeded my expectations. I've worn Warby glasses for more than a decade and this was by far my best experience.

In general, Warby Parker has some of the best customer service around! The first pair of WP glasses I purchased lasted nearly 7 years. I've been having some trouble getting the optical center aligned on my most recent purchase, which can be significant on a strong prescription, and I walked into this location and received excellent help. The optical technician, Emma, was not only patient and understanding of my issues about depth perception, strength, and blurriness, but then worked magic on my new Torrez frames to adjust them to feel perfect to my eyeballs.
That the glasses are also stylish is a bonus. Thanks, Emma!

On January 31, 2026 I had my eye exam with Warby Parker (Pasadena location).
Prior to the exam, the technician gathered basic information and then took digital retinal images (six total). Then I had my eye exam with the Warby Parker doctor. The retinal images were not reviewed or discussed during the exam and I forgot to ask about them. That’s not how it should be done. At all of previous eye exams, my optometrist always review the retinal images with me regarding my eye health.
From the exam, the Warby Parker doctor said my vision hasn’t changed so my prescription will be the same. So they checked me out and I paid for the eye exam. I also placed my contacts order and paid for them too.
A few days later the contacts arrived in the mail and that’s when I discovered the contacts don’t match my current prescription (expired January 2026). Instead, they match the prescription from a 2020/2021. The new contacts I received is based off of an old prescription from 2020/2021 and not my most recent expired prescription (January 2026).
Warby Parker only has my contacts prescription from 2020/2021, which I had uploaded back then to order contacts from them. Since then the newer prescriptions that they have on record are for glasses.
It appears that from this eye exam with Warby Parker, they simply created a new prescription based off of my 2020/2021 prescription. All the numbers (lens power, etc.) are identical of my old prescription. Warby gave me an old and wrong prescription and the retinal imaging was never even discussed.
I’ve reached out to customer service and they are refusing to issue a refund even though they acknowledged the discrepancy in the prescription that was provided at the exam.

The employee almost sent me the wrong style glasses and then sent them to the wrong address despite checking with me in the store. Now my glasses are stuck in my old apartment building and my current glasses are completely broken. They are sending me new ones but they give themselves two more weeks to do so.

I was treated with the most professional and friendliest staff ever! Everyone greets you with a smile and they attend to your needs. The girl who helped me pick out my glasses was very attentive and listened to what I liked and didn’t like… I wish I could remember her name but she has like bob length blonde hair and she wore the Aviator style glasses
