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.

Came in today to get my glasses adjusted they seem to be falling off my face for some reason. They just didn’t feel like they were when I bought them. This is not the store that I originally came to, but I stopped by anyways. Jair was helpful. I walked out of here with a brand new barrel glasses thank you. Great customer service. I’ll come back to the store.

I finally decided to take my sister’s advice on going to Warby Parker and boy I should have visited sooner! I had my full eye exam and my experience was amazing from the start. The provider is great! He is very thorough and answered all of my questions. The staff were all AMAZING! Everyone is so knowledgeable and willing to help. They actually look happy at what they are doing it’s wonderful. We mostly worked with Connor, I think that’s his name. Anyhow we could not stop talking with him. He was so helpful and made it easy to pick out our frames. I will be a forever customer, just like my sister. Highly recommend this location!

Jair is incredible!!! I have been struggling with ill fitting frames for 4 years and he took extra time to adjust multiple points in the glasses and now they fit like a dream. I will always choose Warby Parker as my optician. Thank you Jair!

Had a delightful experience at Warby Parker in Mission Valley. Cooper, a frame specialist, gets my highest recommendation!! He was very helpful & I trusted his judgment. It was fun picking out frames & not stressful (which is how I’ve felt in the past). Precious helped finalize my purchase & she was also very helpful. I’ll keep recommending Warby Parker for glasses!!😀

This experience could not have been more magical! I went in for lenses and frames. Came out with vision of real people and a frame of mind that a mundane errand can turn into the highlight of my day. The staff was knowledgeable, relatable and showed genuine care. My eyes will be happy, and I “see” myself returning in the future. Thank you to the entire staff with an emphasis on Sandra and Carrie who laughed with me, made me smile and took extra care to make sure everything was on point. I would give 6 stars if the option was available.

Pleasantly surprised to have a wonderful experience with Warby Parker's customer service at the Fashion Valley mall. My husband and I were in need of a new prescription and glasses which brought us to setup an easy appointment online the night before. We arrived early and Cooper warmly greeted and checked us in, offering us a tray for all of our glass options. During the eye exam Dr. Chen was very kind and thorough throughout the exam, I did not feel rushed or pressured at all. Lastly, during checkout with Nova was a wonderful experience, she was kind and attentive. Overall, our experience was excellent and highly recommend!

Wow! I had seen the ads on TV about Warby Parker but experiencing the store in person blew me and my husband’s mind - fresh, bright interior with great inventory and super customer service oriented staff - so refreshing to have plenty of help that are trained and knowledgeable. We loved our experience and will definitely go back!

Quinton at the Fashion Valley store was very friendly and helpful. He suggested the frames I ultimately chose and filed a claim for my vision benefits. I was in and out in less than 20 minutes.

Store experience is great, but man I ordered glasses 5 weeks ago and they send me an email it will take 2 weeks which is perfectly fine. Two weeks pass by, I get an email your glasses did not pass quality test, so we have to redo them. After that no email or update, I follow up two weeks later on Saturday and they relay give us 24-48 hours to give you an update. I follow up Sunday and Monday and I get the same response again with give us 24-48 hours with no timeline when I will receive them. This would have been my 3rd pair of eye glasses with them and the management in customer service didn't even try to make it right and I had to unfortunately ask for a refund. It disappointing when you are a return customer and they do not make you fill appreciated by investigating the delay, offering nothing meaningful and/or explaining the problem.

The associates were pleasant and informative, but not pushy. The store was busy with about 5 customers shopping frames, but I was helped immediately once I decided on my frames. My insurance benefits were applied and the final price was very reasonable.
