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 $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.

My husband and I both needed glasses and living off of Social Security, we were trying to figure out how to pay for both his and mine. Hy husband looked at Warby Parker online but I had a bad experience with another online glass store. When we walked into the actual store near us I was elated. The staff was excellent, the choices were unbelievable and the prices are less even with upgrades where so affordable.

I would never order from this company again. I thought this would be efficient since January 15 and I still have not received my glasses. Now my progressive lenses did not pass inspection on 1/31 so I have to wait until 2/10 for the order. I am texting with the third person who could not even pull up my order despite the fact a forwarded an email from Warby Parker with my order number. Total incompetence. Stay away.

I have been a customer of Warby Parkers for 3 years. I even introduced my partner to WP and he loves it. We both love the ease of it. As weird as this analogy is- it's just like going to a Carmax or Carvana. All the pricing is included and there isn't any guessing. I also appreciate that no matter which location I visit, I have the same type of great customer service.

First time visit here and I received excellent customer service from the staff who were there around 4pm on 1/16. From the staff who greeted you, to the opticians to the doctor, everyone was helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. You can tell a difference between adequately trained professionals vs people who are just employees. I left my prior provider due to lack of customer service and knowledge of the products they sale. Professionalism was top notch here!!

Love the selection and the service.
However after 3 purchases over as many years I have realized their lenses simply scratch too easily. And the warranty for scratches is half of what other retailers offer.
Bought a new pair today elsewhere for $100 less and a longer warranty.
