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.

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.

Walked in last Friday to get my WP glasses adjusted, I was with a friend and we saw at least five different associates wandering around the store, as we walked in not one of them said anything to us. We headed up to the front counter, on the other side was two associates, one was looking at a screen and the other tweaking a pair of glasses with a small tool, neither one of them looked up to greet us. We continued to stand there, with associates all around us, and yet not one said 'Hello!', so we left after about five minutes and felt disappointed at being ignored during the whole experience. Every other store in the mall was amazingly friendly when we walked in, so it was a shock to be invisible in this one.

I don't go to Fashion Valley too often but when I do I like to go in to this store. I've owned 2 pairs of glasses from here and I like it because the price is low and the styles are nice. However, it is noteworthy that I am never greeted nor helped. It wouldn't cause me to write a review over it, but I notice it because I might be browsing and the associate approaches each person in that section, except me. I am not sure why this is but it is always the same. It makes the in store experience uncomfortable. I don't know if warby parker is only interested in a certain kind of customer. But I've never been approached nor greeted at this location.

Great experience! Easy online scheduling for an optometry appointment to update my prescription. The doctor was super fast and personable. The equipment is top tier which made for a much more comfortable exam (no air puffs to my eyeballs!). The staff afterwards were super friendly and helpful. They helped with submitting a claim after checkout to my insurance which was one less step for me. And of course they gave me space to shop for my new frames and offered helpful feedback and recommendations. I highly recommend this location for all your eye health needs!
