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.

Oh my goodness! I love Warby Parker for all my eyeglasses needs because of not only how/why they were founded ( to be an affordable, high value eye wear company for all people) but because of the individuals who work there. I had purchased previous pairs of frames/lenses in Raleigh before the store opened here in Greensboro and was thrilled with the price and quality ( I get compliments on my glasses often). But this spring my prescription changed, I needed new glasses and wanted something a little different. Between my indecisiveness and a wonky nose (lol!🤭) as well as wearing hearing aids which adds to the challenge of a comfortable fit, I’m not sure what I would have done without Grace (manager and master at customer service) and Mena (Optician) who were so attentive and kind and truly went the extra mile to make sure I was over-the-top satisfied with my new glasses. Grace went above and beyond what I would have ever expected and I now have a new pair, a new set of lenses in my old frames that “feel like an old pair of jeans” and a “back up pair” with my old lenses. The folks at WP will treat you with respect and never make you feel rushed. Also each time my glasses arrived within a week to 10 days. I love them and am so thankful for the fine folks at Warby Parker at Friendly Center in Greensboro. 😊

The Warby Parker store is amazing. I walked in at 5:35, picked frames(researched online before), ordered, and out the door before 6pm. Thank you to the 2 ladies working. They were very efficient, and helpful! I will return!
