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.
The well-known portion of an eye exam where you read from a chart of progressively shrinking letters until they're too small to see
The part of the exam that determines your prescription for corrective lenses (if you need them)
A screening for issues like glaucoma and cataracts, and for signs of other health conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and more
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)
Insurance, FSA, and HSA
Whether we’re in- or out-of-network with your carrier, you can use vision insurance to save at Warby Parker . (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.

Ken is a legend. I cannot articulate his honesty and professionalism. I truly adore an honest salesperson who supports you in making a big decision and makes it fun and personal. I cannot recommend more. He's a gem. I would hire him personally as my wardrobe consultant if I could. It can be hard to read a room, assess the energy you need for each customer and balance multiple customers at once. He does it with flying colors, professionalism, and personalized service. Thank you. For everything.

Staff was super friendly and knowledgeable! I love warby’s set prices and easy to find what I’m looking for. I usually shop at South End, but this was closer to my home — Thank God for this new location!
They have a parking deck and street parking. The parking deck confused me so I erroneously parked on one side a lowkey took a foot tour/got my steps in on commonwealth. Don’t be like me lol it’s all connected even if it doesn’t seem like it.
Also, if you frequent optimist hall, the deck is through metropolis, so you’re covered! $3.99 for the first hour.

WOW!!!! That was my immediate experience walking into This location!
Ken gives you the red carpet experience that I have never received in an eye glass store before.
Marin also helped in assisting me and she was wonderful as well!
Warby and Parker is definitely my new eye glass place!

I loved my experience at this location on top of just loving Warby Parker in general! It always feels like a high end luxury appointment but very affordable and fitting for my pockets lol! I am a first time contact trier and Kelsey was great in teaching me and making me feel comfortable. Everyone at the location was friendly and helpful, I’d definitely return!

I recently went to the new Warby Parker in Plaza Midwood to complete my purchase after getting an updated prescription. Kenn and Jenn were so helpful in updating the order after I had made a mistake online. Not only did they solve my challenge, they were extremely fun and friendly.

Kenneth and Jennifer were great to work with. They both provided a warm welcome and assisted with my search for the perfect frames. They told me about new arrivals and even were instrumental in me choosing frames outside my normal style. I’ll be returning to this store for future purchases.
