Comprehensive exams starting at $135
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 $35)
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.

I had a great experience getting an eye exam and picking frames. The eye doc was wonderful! Knowledgeable and kind. Staff was very friendly and helpful too. Lots of frames to choose from and didn’t feel any pressure picking them out. One stop shop!

Great floor staff! As a single male I was relieved to be met with staff more than willing to assist me with picking the perfect frames. An event that can cause me anxiety turned out to be a truly enjoyable experience. More than one staff member assisted in the decision! And after I decided on my frames, my sales associate was very knowledgeable and explained all the lense options that were available and what they were for. I left confident with all my choices, both with clear lenses and sunglasses. A+

My friend had just had surgery and needed her glasses to see but woild need her glass lens popped out. After talking with Gabi briefly she was sure that they could help me. Shawn went right to work on the task. In minutes he was done and I was on my way to the aid of my friend who was desperate to see. Free of charge. I couldnt believe how friendly, caring, quick and client oriented they were. I will have to try them for my own next pair of glasses.

My experience was 10 out of 10. Casey, the associate who assisted me today, was informative, helpful and incredibly patient. There was no question she couldn't answer for me and made me feel confident that I was making the best choice for my eyes. I'd return just for the quality assistance!

I took my mom for a pair of glasses and she walked out with two pairs. Sean was so attentive. We didn't feel rushed and he took the time to explain everything to her. I will definitely go back to see Sean for my pair of glasses .

Years ago, I tried getting prescription glasses online at Warby Parker. Not only was it a fun experience, but they were the most comfortable glasses I have ever had. WP will actually ship you five frames to try on, and they pay for the shipping both ways. Their phone representatives were also extremely helpful answering questions. This time I decided to go into New Haven to try on frames in person. The selection is amazing and again the sales rep was extremely helpful. Your purchase will be sent to you via mail in about a week, but that was fine with me. I liked the experience so much I am intending to get another pair of glasses in a couple of months to switch off styles. Can't give Warby Parker too high of a recommendation.
