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 $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.

The staff at this store is outstanding—friendly, attentive, and extremely helpful throughout the entire process. The optometrist was knowledgeable and took the time to explain the lens options tailored to my needs. I had a great experience and highly recommend this location!

Beware of scam! Online, I specifically scheduled a comprehensive exam ~without~ digital retinal imaging. At check-in (12/12/25 4:15pm), the receptionist attempted to charge me $130. I said "Hmm... that's a bit higher than the website said." She paused at least 5 seconds, clearly frustrated to have been caught, then claimed I was required to obtain the digital retinal imaging if I wanted the provider to enter the exam results on my form. I said "It's $40 to have her fill out a form?" The receptionist claimed "if you need any kind of form filled out, you need the imaging. She'll sit down with you and go through the scans." Neighbors, this was a complete lie. The provider did not mention or reference the scans in any way during my assessment, did not pull them up on the screen, and did not need them to fill out my form; she only needed the tests conducted during her assessment. Of course, I was then charged for both the assessment and the imaging, as you can see.
Note this review is only not 1-star because the provider herself was excellent. She was kind, knowledgable, patient, and demonstrated integrity. But if access to a great provider requires passing through a front desk who will lie and deceive repeatedly (first, attempting to charge for services I specifically opted out of; then, when caught in the deception, to dig an even deeper hole with an explicit lie) to upsell customers, then I cannot possibly recommend this location to others.

The good: the very helpful staff at this location were able to fix my unwearable bent brand new glasses in a few minutes. They were great.
The bad: I paid $250 for wire frame glasses that were unusable out of the box and necessitated an immediate maintenance visit.
Very grateful to the associates at the Navy Yard location who fixed the frames swiftly and saved me from a return.

I was greeted as I walked in the store and a representative immediately guided me through the process. It was seamless. It was fast. She was KNOWLEDGEABLE and patient the entire experience from choosing my eyeglasses to paying for my purchase took about 30 minutes. The Rep informed me of my services available to me, if the glasses were not to my liking. I will only buy my glasses from Warby Parker from now on

Excellent contact exam experience! The staff was so helpful and Dr. Erica Heffner was great. Most importantly to me, I felt like everyone was transparent about pricing, there were no hidden fees, and no one tried to up-sell me, which I really appreciated! I haven't worn contacts in over 10 years and Dr. Heffner and the staff were so kind and patient with me.
I always get my glasses at Warby but this was my first eye exam and contact experience here.
10/10

My experience at this location was great and really helpful. Dr. Patel was so kind and knowledgeable. She explained every process and test in details which made it easier to understand and validated a lot of what I was already experiencing. I’m really confident in my new prescription coming in and will definitely be back for my next visit. The staff was also kind and made efforts to help me find the kind of lenses I was looking for. Thanks again!
