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.

Warby Parker is such a great retailer, and I feel lucky to have this shop in Portland, ME. Walking into the store on Middle Street on a frigid day, the store was bright, cheerful, & warm. A salesperson, Nina greeted me instantly &, once I described my issue, invited me to a counter towards the back. Background: I have 2 pairs of eyeglasses, previously purchased at Warby Parker. These glasses were recently sent out through this store for new prescription lens. Both were returned more quickly than I expected, yay! Both progressive prescription lens were not lining up right for reading. Nina was able to adjust one pair to sit better on my nose & that fixed the problem. The 2nd pair – no luck, & because these were replacement lens, it wasn’t clear that Warby Parker was beholden to fix the problem. They did even better! Nina spoke to a manager and came back to me with the news that I would get a new pair – new frames & new lens. She made careful measurements & sent the 2nd pair off. I left Warby Parker a happy forever-customer. Thank you, Warby Parker for standing by your products & thank you Nina for your patience, knowledge, and help today!

Customer service was outstanding. The customer rep I worked with was clearly well informed about not only frames, lenses, and coatings but the warranty and ongoing service. This service contributed to my purchase on the same day.

I was on a cruise and found the Warby Parker store in Portland, Maine. Walked in to meet Nina the sales Rep who was VERY knowledgeable. We selected two frames everyone loved, prepared the paperwork for future completion, paid the bill and walked out within less than 30 minutes. The glasses will be shipped to me in Asheville, NC and I am excited to receive them. They’re beautiful and very reasonably priced. Thank you Warby Parker and Nina!!!❤️

Super store, everyone was helpful and the Manager is wonderful. I bought clip on sunglasses that luckily fit my eyeglasses--saving me from buying expensive transition lenses! They have great frames to choose from too. Thanks to all, especially the Manager.

We are so thrilled and Thank you for Warby Parker and the Staff in the new store in Portland, Maine!!
On a cruise and my husband’s frames broke.
Even though it wasn’t a Warby Parker frame, the staff was still very willing to help us out. Our son-in-law works for a Warby Parker store in Florida and we knew it would be a great place to help us out in a pinch—-
Warby Parker—-you have an Outstanding Culture with your staff—can go Anywhere and trust the team when you walk in the door !!!
Thank you-to Portland, Maine staff and to the whole Company!!!
