Meet the top-notch optometrists at Friendly Center
Our affiliated eye doctors combine best-in-class expertise with a relationship-driven, patient-first approach.
Video-Assisted Doctor Panel

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.

The in-store staff was patient and helpful while I browsed. I made the selection then the sales associate went to the back to get the proper size. They returned with the glasses packaged up, I paid, and went on my way. When I got home it was the wrong pair. When I called to figure out a return they could do little more than ask me to come back to the store (I live 1 hour away) to get the correct pair. The alternative was they could ship me the correct pair and I would receive them in 10 business days. If you shop here, check that they gave you the correct pair before leaving the store even if you have to unwrap the package.

The frames run the gamut as far as styles go. I found two that I really like. I've had very friendly interactions with two of the three staff I interacted with at the store. Thank you!

I recently visited Warby Parker at Friendly Centre and had an outstanding experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly and felt genuinely welcomed. Kelly provided exceptional customer service—she was knowledgeable, patient, and attentive, helping me find the perfect pair of glasses that suited both my style and needs.
The selection of glasses at this location is truly impressive. There are so many stylish and high-quality frames to choose from, which made the shopping experience enjoyable and exciting. I appreciated how organized and accessible everything was, making it easy to browse and try on different options.
Overall, my experience at Warby Parker Friendly Centre exceeded my expectations. Thanks to Kelly’s helpful guidance and the store’s exceptional selection, I left with a pair of glasses I absolutely love. I highly recommend this location to anyone looking for great eyewear and excellent service.

I was greeted immediately when I walked in. Emena then explained the glasses and gave me some specifics if I wanted to keep the same style that I already had. She explained the promotions and let me look. When I was ready, she worked with me to make sure that everything was to my satisfaction. She was really wonderful to deal with and handled my sale quickly and professionally.

I first tried WP during the pandemic, ordering online. They made the process easy and I loved the glasses I received. I've continued buying my glasses from WP since then. There is now a WP store in my area and I've been going there instead of ordering online. The staff are friendly and helpful and I like trying on the styles I've researched online.

Great selection of glasses in multiple price ranges.
The staff were knowledgeable, helpful and not "in your bubble". Actually made it an easy and fun experience when I usually find it a pain in the butt.

Great staff, everyone was so nice and helpful. I went in to get my glasses adjusted bc I sat on them and they were so janky. The lady who helped me was rad. Super knowledgeable, cool plugs and tattoos. Thanks for setting me up right, even gave my glasses a much needed cleanse to top it off. Also the store has some cool echo, would love to hear someone a Capella the Halo Theme song there.

The service and selection was excellent!!! Went in to look at replacing a pair of glasses but the young associate was perfect in help me select and fitting so I bought three pairs. Best support experience I have ever had in eyeglass purchases. To top it off the prices were so reasonable- a bargain actually!!
