Comprehensive exams starting at $85
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 $35)
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.

Great eye exam experience with an in-person optometrist. Exam felt comprehensive and professional. Much better experience than the virtual exam I got at a discount place last time. Note - Warby Parker dies not make bifocals. They only do single vision or progressive lenses. The progressive lenses seemed fairly expensive.

I walked in when they were very busy, but only had to wait a few minutes. My needs were taken care of with thoughtfulness. I like the huge selection. I have Warby Parker glasses that I have worn for years and always have two pair, thank goodness, and when I left one pair on an airplane, I needed to get a new one!

I was initially frustrated that I couldn't just buy new lenses (my frames were discontinued). But the employee helping me was so calming and professional and laid out all my options. I ended up staying and buying new frames and lenses--very happy with my purchase. It was obvious she had years of experience. Thanks to her, I didn't leave frustrated and walked away a happy customer. Great employees!

Went into this store with my prescription, with the intent to purchase glasses, as I live two hours away from the store. After agreeing that I would be better off having my prescription checked by their Dr. to assure that it was as correct as I possible, I was informed that there were no appointments. available that day and I would have to make the 4 hour round trip another day. Shortly thereafter, as I was looking at frames, another customer came in and was offered a same day appointment, that I was told was not possible for me. The only difference between him and I, his skin is white and mine is brown. If you are similarly complected, do what I did and take your business elsewhere.

I bought a pair of RX sunglasses about 6 months ago. I had cataract surgery, and no longer needed the RX lenses. I took the glasses in and asked if they could just replace the lens to a non-RX lens. I did qualify to replace the lens if I had a change of RX, but they would not replace lens, even if I paid for it. The recommendation was to just buy another frame which wasn’t needed. This is is a very bad policy, and I would not recommend buying any frames if you’re planning on cataract surgery that might not require a RX change

They advertise a $95 dollar special but...... It only applies to certain plastic frames. Then if you happen to have a stronger prescription, it's another $60 more. If you want transition lenses then you'll cough up another $175.00 on top of everything else. So thats $330 for a pair of $95 glasses before you re even done. How is that cheaper? Definitely buying somewhere else.

Stylish frames at affordable prices. They also take several insurances. The staff was very friendly and helpful. My only complaint is that they don’t carry a large selection of smaller frames.
