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.

This company is detected on the phone. When you make the eye exam they say it's $95. Then when you go in they upsell you on a an additional exam not everyone needs yet they try and force you to do it. This is how they force you to do it. They tell you oh we have to do this extra thing that you weren't told about and we have two ways of doing it the way we don't have dialing your eyes and the way we do have to dial you let your eyes. So if you want to pay extra we have to dilate your eyes This is a lie! They're doing what's called a hook and book. They hook you on the exam and they up charge you and give you a negative option that nobody wants for free. You absolutely do not need to do this procedure every time you get your eyes examined. I told them no. I don't want this procedure whatsoever yet they didn't want to lose the $95 so they only charge me $95. My girlfriend on the other hand didn't know this information and they upsold her forcing her to pay extra. This company is decepted. It's a scam. Avoid them warby Parker is a joke. I want to give negative Stars not just once. They're not worth one star.

Went there on my lunch break today. Of the 4 or 5 sales people in the store only one of them was helping a customer. The rest ignored me completely. I actually found a pair of glasses I really liked and when I approached a salesman to ask a question and get a second opinion, the guy acted like he'd rather do anything but talk to me. Warby Parker lost a sale because of bad customer service today.

DO NOT SHOP AT WARBY PARKER -- ESPECIALLY THIS LOCATION.
My girlfriend and I had a 9:45 a.m. appointment today, our fifth visit over the same pair of glasses because the "doctor" during the first visit changed her prescription of 17 years, it was completely wrong because Everytime she puts them on it hurts her eyes and head- We got to the store at 9:40 and stood at the locked doors until 9:48. Lights were off. No one was inside. No one came to the door.
We came back at 10:00 when they finally opened. The manager on duty, Shannon, immediately told us they could not take us. She claimed we "weren't there" and said she had been in the store since 9:30 looking for us. After we pushed back, they checked the security cameras. The footage clearly showed us standing at the door at 9:45. Shannon still refused to honor the appointment.
Instead of apologizing, she doubled down, accused us of lying, and insisted, quote: "You guys were not here, I've been here since 9:30." She treated us like we were the problem after the cameras proved otherwise. No attempt to fix it. No offer to work us in. Just flat denial and attitude.
This is now our sixth appointment for the same glasses. The original pair came with the wrong prescription because of a doctor's error. They hurt her eyes. Four months, multiple return trips, and roughly $600 later, she has still never been able to wear the glasses she paid for. We have to come back again next week.
We will never shop at this store (or any Warby Parker) again and will be filing a formal complaint with corporate. Shannon's handling of a confirmed appointment was unprofessional, dishonest, and completely unacceptable.

Wanted to just reach out and share some appreciation for Russell. He works at this Warby parker and really made my wife and i feel welcome. I came in to to request help with just a standard basic clean of my glasses. Homie went above and beyond and did a whole ultra sonic cleaning and left my glasses feeling like brand new !!
Thanks Russell , we'll be coming back ! My wife needs a new pair soon and we know who we're going to !

If your prescription glasses calls for progressive lenses don’t go there. Warby Parker’s Opticians ( not sure all are licensed ) don’t know how to measure inter pupillary distances and other measurements needed for progressive lenses. The reading portion of the lens ( which would be the lower part of the lens ) is completely un accurate. I had to go somewhere else to get the correct measurement. Save yourself time and money by going to a reputable Optician shop.

I had such a great experience at Warby Parker at International Plaza. The store was busy when I arrived, but the staff was quick to greet me and made sure I felt taken care of right away. Everyone I interacted with was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful.
When it came time to place my order, they took their time with me, answered all of my questions, and made the entire process so easy. I never felt rushed, despite how busy the store was. Excellent customer service from start to finish! I will definitely be back and highly recommend this location.

Sean was the most AMAZING employee that I have ever worked with when it comes to my glasses wear. He went above and beyond to help get my insurance to cover it whereas another location told me $125 (not true, he told me $20 then corrected himself because it ended up being 0 so I added the warranty). Thank you, Sean!

I had been to a different Warby Parker location three times trying to get my glasses fitted properly, and I was beginning to think they would never feel quite right. Then I met Aidan at the International Mall location.
Aidan took the time to carefully adjust my glasses and made sure they fit properly and comfortably. He was cheerful, professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to helping. He made what had been a frustrating process completely enjoyable.
Thank you, Aidan, for your patience and excellent customer service. You’re a true asset to Warby Parker!

I almost never post a review. Frankly I'm tired of being asked to review everything constantly, but my experience with WP was really great so I'm making an exception. I'd ordered progressive lenses based on my rx that I got elsewhere, and when they arrived, I HATED them. I mean really hated everything about them. I was worried that I was going to be stuck with them since WP filled the rx they had been given, but they were great about exchanging them. At the store, Russell checked my vision with the glasses I had been wearing, then with additional correction. Based on that, he suggested lenses I'm sure I'll like much better. Thank you WP. I'll be back for driving glasses soon.
