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.

I had an incredible time at Warby Parker because of Dr. Melzer and Aleshia.
Dr. Melzer was very informative and helped me understand my sight needs and concerns.
Aleshia was such a vibe! Very informative too and made my brain completely turn off in terms of decision making. She totally helped me find a pair that fit my face exactly and made me feel like my. best self!
Thank you Warby team :)

My Rx makes it impossible to purchase glasses online. I like Warby Parker selection because price range is reasonable, I never buy designer because not a priority. Most important is not wasting time, getting confused by trying frames that look nice on the shelf but not on me. I really appreciate the knowledgeable stylist who knows what frames to start out with that meet what I'm generally looking for, will fit my Rx and thinnest lens, and are most attractive given my skin color, heart shaped face, colors I typically wear. The optician was great. I felt very confident in my choice based on his input. I have worn classes for 62 years and have purchased frames in nearly every type of shop. Look, it's not the place to go if you want a unique, designer label often from Europe. But the quality can't be beat and price for lens competitive or less.
Shout out to I think Jasmine, forgive me if I got your name wrong, and the rest of the Princeton Nassau Street shop.

I was greeted in a friendly and professional manner. The pre-tests were quick and efficient. The Dr. saw me on time and listened to my concerns and was able to adjust my prescription by researching other contact lens options that worked better for me. Check out was quick and seamless.

My husband and I had a very good experience at this store. Andrea helped my husband pick out a very stylish pair of sunglasses that he had been on the fence about. It’s been about a month and he still raves about them and gets lots of compliments. I appreciate how patient Andrea was with us because it was a hard decision for him to make. So happy she helped us!

Delivered my $700+ order via DoorDash which requested I supply additional instructions to the driver via text message due to "prior trouble with this address" (a totally normal campus mailing address, which I've had no issues receiving packages to for three years). It is completely unprofessional to ship orders through an unreliable service like DoorDash. Not recommended.
Update: I emailed a complaint to Warby Parker customer service and received a 100% AI-generated response. Again, completely unprofessional conduct.
