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.

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!

Customer service was A-1. I was greeted as soon as I walked into the store. The selection is great and you honestly can't beat the price for single vision glasses.

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.

I brought my new progressives prescription here on 7/25/25 mid-morning. Two excellent opticians (wish I could remember their names) found me a nice frame. Then they measured very carefully and gave me instructions on how to adjust to the new lenses. The glasses arrived a week later and are great. This is my third attempt at progressives, finally a pair that works! Thank you so much for your help, care and attention. And for adjusting my other frames while I was there.

What a wonderful experience, Needed my glasses adjusted ( so I thought), Shaina waited on me. Looked at my information online and measured my glasses - my lens need to be fixed. She took her time with me, was very knowledgeable, and professional.
She was a pleasure to talk to. A true asset to your company.
After she was finished with me she adjusted my wife's glasses.
Again, she is an amazing employee.
