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.

Dr. Wu and her assistant are very pleasant and efficient. I Love how the store is small and quiet. All the glasses are clearly marked and easy to see on the shelves. The people are always happy to help. And the frames are very reasonably priced. What more can you ask for?

These guys are crooks. I went for an eye exam, which was great. I paid the full amount $140 with my credit card before I left. Then, one month later they sent me a bill for "unpaid balance of $28". This is outrageous. $140 was the advertised price and I paid it in full. At no time during our conversations did anyone indicate that more money might be owing. Do not go to this place, you will be sorry.

The eye exam was incredibly thorough - the doctor took the time to explain every step in detail and made thoughtful, personalized suggestions for my prescription. I also had a great experience choosing frames; the staff guided me patiently and helped me find a style that truly suited me. Overall an excellent visit from start to finish!

Scheduling was easy and staff helpful at entry. Dr seemed more into up selling than helping get the right Rx for my lenses and daily headaches. My headaches got better then worse after two weeks, then horrible for a month. Store phone is basically inaccessible. You get routed to general service center. I emailed and was basically told to stick it out for a few more weeks and that I had 60-90 days if I needed to return them. No way was I going to deal with that. The only direct way to the store was to book an appointment. So I did, then got a text that I wasn't eligible. After some back and forth texting, I was told I wasn't eligible for an exam and had 30 days for a return. No freaking way. Thankfully, I was at the 30th day and went into the store. By then, I was done. Terrible way to deal with a customer/patient in pain. I had no interest in giving WP another minute of my time or energy. This is a terrible business model in terms of customer service. When you choose to be in a healthcare business, you have to care about people's health.

i’ve been a customer at this store for the past four years. I’ve had a great experience buying frames and lenses from them in one instance when I received the glasses the prescription seemed off. I went back to the store. They remeasured my pupillary distance and discovered it did not match the lenses. They immediately resent the glasses out to be repaired for no cost. I think they have a great selection of frames. Anyone should be able to find something that looks good. Their sales associates are very knowledgeable and friendly. Most recently I had a pair of their glasses that were approximately five months old. My prescription changed. I brought my frames in to see how I could get them updated and they informed me that they would do it at no cost because I was within the time window. Great customer service. I highly recommend this store.
