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.

First time going here and couldn’t recommend more. Nice selection of frames. Friendly staff. Clean store. Helped immediately. Had my prescription on my app and she was able to locate it, order my glasses and even submit for reimbursement from my insurance. Carrie was great. Very efficient.

the ONLY reason I visit warby parker fashion valley is because of the care and attention I received from jair!!!! he is the ONLY optician that takes time to 'redo' the shape, fit and overall look of my frames after they have been 'jacked up' by months of wearing (crooked, uneven, sliding off my nose, etc). I initially met jair at the la Jolla shop: had me at 'hello' as the saying goes. after that shop was closed for a bit= I finally found him at fashion valley.
he is my main squeeze there!!!! no one else makes me feel so welcomed!! he really takes his time with me!! thank you, jair!
you make me feel like a welcomed customer all the time.

Friendly experience, super easy and quick. Made an appointment for an eye exam at 2:30pm and was out by 3:15 with a new pair of glasses ordered. The team was very knowledgeable, and supportive during my entire visit. Would absolutely go there again.

It was a over all great experience. The person doing the exam was great and the person he passed me off to to purchase glasses always knowledge, helpful with insurance and set my mind at ease about accidental damage. I'm not delicate with them. Accidents happen in my filed of work

Hire more opticians to staff your hours of operation or train your sells reps to do minor adjustments to frames.

I found the employees very helpful in helping me choose just the right frame. I never felt pressured or rushed. There were lots of frames to choose from and I felt confident and happy about the frames I picked out. Thank you Warby Parker for your great service. I look forward to receiving my new glasses.

Shopping at this location was a great experience. The customer service representatives were super helpful and helped me pick from a great variety of glasses. I went to three other locations before visiting this store and here is such a drastic Improvement They also helped have insurance cover it. Overall I would go here over and over.
