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)
Whether we’re in- or out-of-network with your carrier, you can use vision insurance to save at Warby Parker Beechwood Shopping Center. (We accept FSA and HSA, too!)
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’m so glad that Warby Parker is now in Athens. It is much easier to go in the store and see all the selections. I have been an online customer for years. The Athens staff - Gray, Vanessa, Jocelyn and Lisa - were great and so helpful. I will return to get glasses for my entire family here each year.

I’m so happy we finally have a Warby Parker in Athens. After struggling for months to find new glasses, I walked in and ended up with four or five pairs I genuinely loved — which almost never happens to me.
What made the experience stand out was the staff. I didn’t just wander around trying on random frames. They listened to what I was looking for, considered fit, proportions, how the frames worked with my face and brows, and then brought me options they thought would work. They even took me in a completely different direction from anything I had been considering elsewhere — and they were right.
By the end, I was still torn between several pairs, so we basically turned the final decision into a little game show and had the staff vote. It was fun, helpful, and took the stress out of a decision I usually overthink.
The frame selection is fantastic — distinctive Warby Parker styles rather than the same handful of looks I seem to see everywhere else. Prices were also very reasonable and comparable to, if not better than, other glasses of similar quality.
Great selection, genuinely helpful staff, and one of the best glasses-shopping experiences I’ve had. My only concern now is that having a Warby Parker this close to home may be very bad for my glasses addiction. 😂

Very positive experience! I walked in with a crooked frame and Simon was able to adjust it back to normal in a matter of minutes. As a chiropractor I know how important adjustments are to getting your frame back to normal! Thank you!

Finally excited that Warby is here in Athens. I would go to the Warby an hour away to see Vanessa because every time I needed something Vanessa and her team helped and made the experience worth the trip. This time was no different my appointment and the process of getting what I needed was just as always with Vanessa, Simon and the team, just awesome. Thank You

I’ve never been to a warby Parker before so I was a bit unsure of the process. I had a wonderful experience with them. I was a bit skeptical about having to purchase glasses out of pocket, but it was cheaper than some of the other options I had been looking at elsewhere. I was also able to file a claim with my insurance and got some money back. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The process wasn’t long so I think I’ll definitely go back.
