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.

Exceptional experience from start to finish! I had such a wonderful experience for myself and my daughter at Warby Parker in the Danbury Fair Mall. Dr. Jason Rutherford was outstanding…extremely thorough, knowledgeable, and genuinely educational throughout my exam. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answer my questions, and made me feel completely comfortable and confident in my care.
Jessica at the front desk was equally exceptional. She provided PERFECT customer care…warm, welcoming, attentive, and incredibly helpful. She made the entire experience seamless from the moment I walked in.
It’s rare to find a combination of excellent clinical care and truly exceptional customer service, but Dr. Rutherford and Jessica absolutely delivered both. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

I walked into the store, needing a new nose pad. I was received by staff immediately upon arriving to the store. They were happy to help, and fixed it directly in front of me! The gentleman who directly assisted me even provided a backup set of pads for the next emergency! Thank you, Warby Parker!

Warby Parker has the largest selection of fashionable eyeglasses for those who wear a wide size, unlike many other retail chains. I appreciated being able to try on the frames in person and get help with measurements, lens choices and my insurance claim as compared to ordering online. I was helped by Shawn and Jessica, who were very knowledgable, helpful and friendly. I ordered a pair of prescription progressives and a pair of sunglasses and they will be sent directly to my home in less time than other chains. Hands down the easiest and most pleasant eyeglass purchase I've made in years.

I visited this location today and was greeted by a friendly employee immediately upon entering the store. I was truly impressed by the time and detail the employee gave me in helping me to evaluate my options and make a purchase. At one point she also paused to welcome another customer and direct them to where they could wait for their appointment, all while still staying connected with me. It's not often that you get this level of service in stores anymore, and it reassured me of my choice to give not just the brand but this store my business.
