Come on in and browse glasses and sunglasses to your heart's content. (While you're here, take in our ultra-colorful artwork, designed just for this location.)
Comprehensive exams starting at $85
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.

This WP location is amazing. Jess was extremely helpful from the selection of my frame and lenses to handling my insurance to maximize its benefits. The location is clean and visually appealing while the employees are friendly and straightforward. I’d highly recommend this location since it’s much larger compared to the Lakeside location.

I had excellent service and a purchased a pair of glasses from Allison, my salesperson, who suggested those frames and told me about the new progressive lens that you can use in your car. This means I do not have to have prescription sun glasses too. I feel that Warby Parker offers excellent service and selection at a fair price and their frames are good quality too.

I can't stress enough how great my experience was today. The employees were friendly and helpful and able to answer all of my questions easily. They suggested flattering frames and colors. One associate went as far as to print out an insurance claim form and fill most of it out for me... now THAT is customer service! I'll never shop for glasses anywhere else. I just wish our WP had in-house eye exams. Thank you for GREAT service!

The Warby Parker store on Magazine St. in New Orleans generally receives positive reviews, with customers frequently praising the friendly and knowledgeable staff, excellent customer service, and the stylish, affordable frames.
Key Themes from Customer Reviews
Exceptional Customer Service: Many reviewers highlight specific employees (like Don, Jess, and Cayla) for being patient, helpful, and accommodating, whether for an initial purchase, an eye exam, or simple frame adjustments. The team is described as warm, welcoming, and attentive without being pushy.
Affordable and Stylish Products: Customers appreciate the wide selection of fashionable frames at a reasonable price point, often noting the good value compared to other optical shops. The price is frequently mentioned as a major positive.
Efficient Process: The in-store experience is described as quick and easy, with staff using technology like iPads and iPhone programs to quickly measure pupillary distance and place orders.
Convenience and Services: Customers value the ability to try on all online frames in person and return for free adjustments. The store is also noted for offering eye exams on-site.
Minor Criticisms: The main minor issues occasionally mentioned are the lack of an optometrist always on-site (though eye exams are available by appointment) and that it's primarily a "frame studio" where glasses are ordered for later delivery rather than an immediate walk-out purchase for prescription lenses. There was one isolated review about a lack of initial greeting during a busy period.
Overall, the store has a high average rating (4.5 on Google Maps with over a hundred reviews) indicating general customer satisfaction.

The team at Warby Parker on Magazine Street is always friendly, knowledgeable, and makes the whole process easy. Their customer service is top-notch—welcoming without being pushy, and genuinely helpful when it comes to finding the right fit. The price point is a big plus, especially if you’re someone who tends to be hard on your glasses—or if you have little ones or a mischievous dog who occasionally runs off with them!
The selection is good, though I’d love to see a bit more variety in styles down the line. Overall, though, it’s a great spot for stylish, well-made eyewear at a fair price, backed by a team that clearly cares about their customers.

From the minute I was greeted when I walked in the door, I was impressed by the friendly people working there. The store is nicely appointed and there’s a great selection of reasonably priced fashionable frames for prescription and non prescription eyewear. There is a doctor available for eye exams, or you can bring your own RX. I ordered prescription sunglasses and the turnaround time is 10 business days mailed directly to your home. Very pleased with the experience and looking forward to receiving my new sunnies! Special thanks to Chikira, who took great care of me.
