The first-ever pair of original sculptures made for a store—brought to you by Chicago-based artist Cody Hudson—can be found at this location. When viewed in conjunction, the two works come together to form an abstracted pair of glasses—a hint at all the eyewear you can browse once inside.
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.

The number one thing I can say about my Warby Parker experience for an eye exam was professionalism and store. Staff was extremely considerate and thoughtful. I did not plan on getting Glasses in their store. I have ordered them online in the past, but I did find a pair of sunglasses I fell in love with, and they helped me through the process of ordering them. I still can’t believe that a very good looking pair of sunglasses with prescription lenses is only gonna cost me $245.00. So in the end, ordering a pair of sunglasses with prescription lenses did not brake the bank.
This was an awesome experience for me. I chose war reporter because they’re in the Andersonville neighborhood about four blocks from my house in uptown Chicago.

I have been wearing glasses since I was 2 and I'm 54!Warber parker denied adjustment to my glasses cause they weren't bought from there?
Any eyeglasses I've worn my entire life I have been able to walk in anywhere and have them adjusted all over the world.
Never and I mean never will I get another pair of contacts or eyeglasses from them and I will tell anyone I know the same.
I will even butly there glasses or contacts for them not to go there as long as I know the person.
Peace out.

Venus helped me when I came in with broken frames and swapped them for new ones. My glasses were in bad shape and was worried about them not lasting long enough for a new pair to arrive but I was in and out in 10 with new frames! Thanks again Venus!

I cannot say enough good things about the team at this Warby Parker location! I came in for an eye exam and to order new frames, and unfortunately, their entire system and app were completely down. What could have been an incredibly frustrating and chaotic experience was instead handled with total grace and professionalism.
The staff didn’t miss a beat. They immediately pivoted and handled everything for me on paper. They took the time to walk me through my lens options, helped me pick out the perfect frames, and made sure all my measurements were completely accurate, entirely by hand. They were patient, kind, and incredibly efficient despite the technical difficulties they were dealing with behind the scenes.
It is rare to find customer service this dedicated and adaptable. Thank you to the wonderful employees who turned a system outage into a seamless, positive experience. Highly recommend!

It was my first time going there. The doctor and the salesperson, Robin, were both adorable. However, the glasses I received today are not what I was supposed to get. My prescription was for distance glasses; it seems I was sent readers instead. Which I already have... I am more than confused with this experience.

My costumer service representative, Robin, helped me find the 2 perfect frames to meet my needs. She made the process clear, understandable and fun. She was able to answer all of my questions. My wife and I left the store feeling happy and excited. I will definitely be returning to work with Robin and this store again

Was very impressed with the service I received. My salesperson listened to what I wanted, showed me a few good choices and made the decision on frames easy.
She was very competent with all the next steps and I was in and out quickly. Would definitely recommend.

The staff and doctor I saw were so lovely and so nice. One of their team members had a medical emergency while I was getting my exam and while helping their coworker the other staff continued to check on me, update me, and once things had resolved they still finished my exam and helped me find frames and order my first pair of glasses. 10/10 everyone was so sweet, and I hope their coworker feels better so soon!!

I myself have had a great experience years ago at this specific location, but I recently brought my boyfriend in for his first pair of glasses. Kaiya ABSOLUTELY RULED. They were so so kind and particularly educational on glasses fit, eye health, all his many questions as a first time wearer. Truly just crushed the whole interaction, so now he's feeling so confident and ready for the big financial step. Thank you Kaiya! You are so good at what you do!

Previously had positive experiences here, but recently had a really off putting interaction with someone in the front of store when trying to exchange frames. They also mislabeled my prescription as progressive when it is not, and two times now employees have tried to argue about it. It doesn’t seem to be something I can fix, but they are not fixing it in my file for me.

The ideal shopping experience. I was greeted when stepping into the store and provided information about how the associates could assist if I had any questions. I was then able to browse the collection independently until I was ready to select a style for purchase. The checkout process was super easy and I was able to chat with the associate assisting me about Chicago and the arts. If looking to try Warby Parker frames or pick-up a new pair in person, I highly recommend this location.

Good vibes in this location. Our helper Venus was friendly without being sales-focused, explained everything really well, and helped us find good options. She was super patient and helped us make good style choices that we liked. Overall the selection of frames was really nice, although we wished they had more extra-wide frames, but we both found glasses we love.
