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.

Alaina the optometric technician was wonderful she's only been at the store since November but she knows her stuff! she provided excellent customer service and was extremely helpful throughout the process. Natasha was extremely helpful as well on the sales floor and helped me pick out the perfect frames. The entire team at Warby Parker was excellent and I would recommend this location to anyone looking for eye care in D.C

The main guy who greeted me as I walked in was super snarky. The rest of the employees seemed to laugh / not care. Not a welcoming environment.

Received excellent customer service. The assistant manager took the time to understand my preferences and to help me understand the important factors to consider in choosing a frame. Even after finding a frame that worked, she encouraged me to try on a few more to ensure that I had the perfect pair, not just settling for the first one I liked. I would highly recommend shopping at this branch, especially since they will now have eye exams too!

Had a wonderful experience at the Union Hall Station location! The staff was incredibly helpful, kind, and knowledgeable about the glasses/contacts, and helped me organise an eye appointment during my travels and pick out the best pair for me. The pricing was also excellent considering my prescription is usually pretty expensive. Couldn’t recommend them enough!

Best Warby Parker I've ever been to. All Warby Parker shops have great service, but this branch went over and beyond. Shaina, the optician who helped me out was super helpful without being pushy. When she noticed that my current Warby Parker glasses were loose, she offered to tighten them for me, then cleaned it after. Awesome service.

The optician/sales advisor Shaina was absolutely stellar! This was my first time coming in a Warby Parker store and all of my questions about various frames and lenses were answered with care. I was looking to try out frames I wasn't able to pick in my at home try-on kit to compare and contrast. I was even offered a complimentary cleaning of my glasses that I desperately needed (it's like they're brand new) this encouraged me to purchase the mini cleaning kit. Thanks to Shaina for making this experience seamless! I look forward to coming back to this location to purchase the frames I ultimately decide on! p.s. Latrell in black is shown in the photo from in-store. Loved the Kemi style frames in the home try-on kit the most!

This was my first experience at a Warby Parker, and I’m so impressed! The staff was very knowledgeable and willing to spend as much time with me as I needed to choose the right pair of glasses. I love being able to get my prescription glasses mailed to my home when they’re ready.

This Warby Parker store is a best-kept secret. Most of the staff have an optometry background, and they are all incredibly helpful and friendly. This makes for an enjoyable and stress-free shopping experience. The best part? It’s conveniently located right off the Red Line, perfect for a quick trip.

Warby Parker Union Station is a bright, stylish shop with a wide selection of frames and friendly, knowledgeable staff. I stopped by just to browse, since I usually buy my glasses at Costco, whose return policy and hassle-free peace of mind is tough to beat. Still, Warby Parker’s approachable vibe and complimentary adjustments make window shopping enjoyable.
