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.
The well-known portion of an eye exam where you read from a chart of progressively shrinking letters until they're too small to see
The part of the exam that determines your prescription for corrective lenses (if you need them)
A screening for issues like glaucoma and cataracts, and for signs of other health conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and more
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)
Insurance, FSA, and HSA
Whether we’re in- or out-of-network with your carrier, you can use vision insurance to save at Warby Parker . (We accept FSA and HSA, too!)
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.

Just went for my first eye exam in half a decade. Staff were very nice and helpful in walking me through the exam and picking out glasses. Dani especially was very kind and patient. Would definitely recommend this place to other people

I really appreciated the texting feature about my appointment. It made it very easy to answer without having to call.
Dr. Wu was great and friendly. She was able to answer my questions.
The team there were great at communicating about the insurance and what was covered and what wasn't. They were able to look at my account and were able to see what was favorited.

Great store and experience! The moment I walked in, sales agent Dani appeared (who I spoke to on the phone the day before!)
She was knowledgeable and helped me select the perfect pair of polarized with graded lenses for sunglasses. She also advised on proper fit and adjustments.
Did an even exchange on a pair I purchased online. Very happy with results. Dani is the
BEST! Simple and easy. Will be back for prescription glasses. Prices are very reasonable compared to many optical stores. Glasses will ship to me in 2 weeks. I will then stop by store in Princeton, NJ for fine tuning adjustment.

It was my second time getting glasses here, and I couldn't be more pleased. The staff was helpful and friendly, but not breathing down your neck, and let you look and try without bothering you every two minutes. They offered honest opinions when I was deciding between two different styles. I went outside my vision plan because I was so pleased with the glasses I had gotten from them two year before. It is more out of pocket for me, but worth every penny. Great styles, decdent prices, and great staff!

I have bought multiple pairs of glasses at Warby Parker for both myself and the rest of the family over the years, and am continually impressed. They have wonderful variety, good pricing, and excellent customer service. The store associates have great ideas for different pairs, too!

I went in for an eye exam and glasses.
Everyone was very helpful, professional, knowledgeable and efficient. And, the service was very reasonably priced. I was happy with my experience at the Warby Parker Palmer Square and will certainly go back everytime I need new glasses.

I’ve been happy with my Warby Parker glasses for years. The staff at this Princeton location went above and beyond. The woman who assisted me was super knowledgeable, friendly, efficient, and made me feel special. She narrowed down my shape and color preferences for frames until I found the perfect pair. I was so pleased I started looking at sunglasses. She assisted me in finding the right size frames for my face and coordinating color and gradient for the lenses. In no time at all I had two great pair of glasses! Because they were both prescription lenses I was offered a 20% discount. Great experience!

I've bought two pairs of glasses from there and as always, they're very patient and helpful. Last night, Nelda was especially accommodating when I showed up just short of closing to get my glasses tightened and cleaned in enough time to avoid a parking ticket (the slots were all full!!!). Kudos to you all and a special thanks to Nelda for being a sweetheart. Keep up the good work and have a Happy Holiday season 🎄🎄🎄
