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 this glasses store. The person helping, Emma, me was kind and made the process so easy especially with my insurance being out of network. She also gave me some good feedback on the glasses I was deciding over. Thank you for making the process easy and quick. I was in and out of the store within 40 minutes.

Athena was amazing - it was obvious the care she took in getting a precise fitting height measurement compared to my experience initially at store in San Diego that was done in haste. She helped make up for the experience that requires a rework by simply slowing down and being w the customer.

I really had the best experience buying prescription glasses for my daughter. She did not like the selection at Costco so we decided to try warby parker as I had heard about it from a podcast. We arrived at open at 10 am on a Monday during summer break. My daughter looked around and tried like 10 pairs of frames. Once she decided we ordered with some extra features. Progressive lenses and thinner lenses. The salesperson submitted a refund for insurance. The glasses arrive in two weeks at our home. Start to finish 18 minutes. I am seriously amazed!! No name brands but I saw lots of nice stylish frames I liked for myself, as well. I honestly think the selection is better than our local Costco right now. Insurance is considered out of network so check with a call before you go.

My first visit to Warby Parker was a very pleasant and satisfying shopping and buying experience. Yes, the store was beautiful, replete with frame styles, and engaging, but the staff (I met with Jillian) is the key. It's non-intimidating and non-transactionally-centric because they make you feel like the only customer in the store—cared for. Great experience. I'm now a fan.

Customer service is great at this location, someone is available to help as soon as you walk into the store.
They have a large variety of frames to choose from.
The only issue is the availability of parking closeby.

I had an idea of the type of glasses I wanted, but didn't see them on the shelves in the store. When I described what I was looking for to the store employee (Emma), she went to the back and pulled out the exact style I was looking for in a smaller size than what was displayed on the shelves. She was funny and knowledgable and kind, and made me feel like I was heard. I'm very happy with the frames I ended up with, and even happier with the help Emma provided.

Athena at the checkout counter was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful. At first , it took a little bit for me to be able to get my prescription sent, but she was very understanding about it. On top of that, she found a promotion I was eligible for and let me split payments so I could use offers on both cards. Also, I didn't know Warby Parker could submit insurance claims on my behalf, which is what she did for me, all with a friendly smile. I really felt as though she wanted to make sure my experience was great. That is top-notch customer service right there. Thank you, Athena!!

I really like Warby Parker because they have nice, fun and pretty eyeglass frames, do a good job making the glasses fit, pleasant sales people, quick service, and good prices! I've been very happy with my glasses, and now I got some cool sun glasses for the summer and life in Cali.!

First of all, it took me forever to find the place. The itty-bitty sign they have up is not visible unless you’re right upon it. I called their Customer Support line and they kept telling me it was across the street from certain venues, when actually was on the same side of the street. But I found it nevertheless. Only to find that the commercials are truly created to just lure you in. The price a quote on TV commercials quickly increases by the hundreds. So maybe if your insurance is in network it could be more affordable. My case it was not!
