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.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Warby Parker at DC’s Union Station, and I can’t speak highly enough about the experience. As the founder of a 501(c)(3) focused on homelessness and human trafficking (The h3 Project), I brought in a client who has been experiencing homelessness and hadn’t had a pair of glasses in over 10 years. His eyesight was very poor, and this visit was crucial for him.
From the moment we walked in, Shaina and the team went above and beyond to make him feel welcomed. They encouraged him to explore the different frame options and took the time to ensure he was comfortable throughout the entire process. It was heartwarming to see him leave feeling empowered, having been treated with dignity and respect every step of the way.
I’ve visited this store numerous times and have consistently witnessed the same level of high-class service extended to every customer. Even though I don’t currently need eyeglasses, I can confidently say that when I do, there will be no other store I consider.
Thank you, Warby Parker team, for your outstanding service and commitment to making a difference in the lives of your customers!

It was awesome. My young lady was well informed about everything when it comes to eyeglasses. Even my prescription was explained into me. Something my own Eye doctor never did. I was not rushed. All my questions were answered patiently. This is the best eye doctor that I have ever been to. I’m hooked forever.. I highly recommend this store to each and everyone that happens to just stop by. Go ahead and get your glasses here it’s the best.

I've been a WP fan for over a decade and their frames just rule. They make anyone look great at a fair price. As for this location in Union Station, walk in and ask for Alaina! She is amazing and will give you the best customer service you could ask for.

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

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!
