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.

Great options at great prices! Staff at the Southpark location were prompt, professional and personable. They made the whole process simple for me and were never pushy.

Professional friendly good prices and super nice and knowledgeable staff. Specifically, the optician apprentice Rose who helped me with my eye exam. Also, Dr. Walsh gave me a lot of time and was very nice when explaining my prescription

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at the Warby Parker SouthPark location.
I had an eye exam scheduled for 2:55 PM. Knowing I was going to be about 10 minutes late, I tried calling the store to let them know. To my surprise, there is no way to contact the store directly. Instead, I was routed to a national customer service representative who had to send an email to the store on my behalf. For something as simple as notifying the office that I was running a few minutes late, this process is completely unnecessary and inefficient.
I arrived at the store at 3:00 PM. Despite my concern about being slightly late, I was told the staff wasn’t ready for me anyway and was asked to browse the store while I waited.
After waiting another 30 minutes, I checked in again. Only then was I told there was an audio issue with the doctor and they were still trying to fix it. No one had proactively updated me during that entire wait.
I asked whether they could simply text or call me once the issue is resolved so I wouldn’t have to continue sitting in the store. Instead, I was told they had two more appointments scheduled later this afternoon, implying they couldn’t accommodate my request. I found this response incredibly frustrating. If your audio issue caused me to wait over 30 minutes, why not adjust the later appointments the same way my appointment was effectively delayed?
The most frustrating part was that I was made to feel as though I should reschedule even though I was already at the location and had already spent significant time waiting because of an issue entirely on Warby Parker’s side.
This experience reflects poor communication, inflexible customer service, and an appointment system that places all the burden on the customer. It’s unacceptable that customers cannot contact the store directly, are left waiting without updates, and are then expected to rearrange their own schedules because of problems caused by the store.
I expected much better from Warby Parker.

Great experience here! I was initially assisted with choosing the frames for my new sunglasses, submitting insurance and ordering. It was a wonderfully easy process! Upon glasses being ready for pick up, Rosie- the Optician helped me with minor adjustments to give me the perfect fit on my face. Her approach and care was fabulous! Very impressive overall and I highly recommend Rosie and the Opticians at the South Park mall. Thank you!

I got my glasses here over 2 years ago. It was my first time needing glasses for all day use. I'd done some research online and when I went in to this location I was immediately greeted by very friendly staff. I showed one of them the glasses I'd looked at online, he said these 2 might be good on you but probably not the 3rd ones - he grabbed the first 2 and some others that he thought would work and he was totally right. Very helpful, very professional, glasses arrived at my house within the week. I've also stopped by a couple of times when I'm at the mall to ask them to tighten them for me and they quickly tighten them and clean them every time. Excellent service and quality, I'll definitely be back

I haven’t gotten my glasses yet but it was so much easier shopping for them at Warby Parker than at the retail store I was going to. Brianna was amazing; answering all my questions. She was very knowledgeable. I’ve found a new place to buy my eyeglasses.
7/1/23 - my glasses came today and I love them! I’ll never go to any other eyeglass place! Warby Parker is it for me!

WARBY Parker in Southpark Mall is a convenient location with an excellent selection of stylish top name frames. The opticians were friendly and welcoming. Elizabeth helped me find the frames I was looking for and was very kind and efficient throughout the ordering and measuring process! I highly recommend this Warby Parker location!
