If you'd like to pay with an FSA or HSA card, remember to bring that along, too.No prescription handy? Not a problem! You can come in just to browse, shop for non-prescription sunglasses and accessories, or can book an eye exam at most locations.
We're in-network with several major insurance carriers, and we also make it easy to use out-of-network benefits. (Coverage may vary by location or plan.) Get all the details here.
Yes! We can take any optical measurements needed to complete your order—and if your frames don't fit perfectly on arrival, an optician is available for adjustments.Plus: Every Warby Parker frame comes with complimentary adjustments for life. Swing by any time for a tuneup.
Yes, indeed. We have a 30-day, hassle-free return or exchange policy for all of our eyewear and accessories.

I literally had an excellent shopping experience. I was looking for nonprescription sunglasses. The two salespeople were so helpful. They picked out a few that I liked, helped me pick which ones looked best on me and adjusted the glasses to better fit me. It was simply an awesome experience. They were so friendly and helpful. I will definitely go back.

Excellent customer service! Lynne was incredibly helpful—she installed new nose rubbers on my broken glasses and didn’t even charge me. That kind of kindness and service is amazing. Thank you!

My first visit at Warby Parker in Stuyvesant Plaza. I was greeted as I walked in the door. Absolutely wonderful feeling to be acknowledged. Wonderful selection of frames to choose from. I had to take a minute to sit down. I have a traumatic brain injury. I had an employee by the name of Heather come over and check on me. What an absolute wonderful person. She spent time with me and she found me two pairs of glasses that I absolutely love. She was very kind and patient. I will only shop at the store from here on out. Great selection, great staff !!!

Huge thank you to Heather and Ashley in the Albany store. The lab messed up both our glasses (2 separate issues with them) Heather and Ashley did everything they could to fix the one pair while another was ordered (now 3rd pair as the 1st didnt pass inspection at lab and the 2nd was sent with the lens completely out of the frame). While the script was accurate on my pair, the lab twisted the script on the lenses so I couldn't read with them. Ashley figured that out and fixed as best as she could and ordered another pair. These 2 were so helpful and kind can't thank them enough. Hope WP appreciates them as much as we did!!
