Book an eye exam
This location offers comprehensive eye exams for glasses—as well as eye exams for contacts prescriptions if you already wear contacts.
You don't need anything but your eyeballs to peruse and try on our frames. If you're planning to purchase prescription frames or contacts, it's helpful to have a digital or physical copy of your current prescription. 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. Whether you purchased online or in a Warby Parker store, we can help you out.We also accept returns and exchanges for contact lenses within 30 days of purchase if they're in their original, unopened box.

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!!

Great staff! Great selection of narrow frames! They asked questions and took the time to find out what my needs & style was. Went into the back more than once to look for additional frames to make sure I had a chance to see all available options. Warby Parker was not the first place I looked for these new glasses, but if the glasses are as good as the service they will be my first stop next time. Would strongly recommend the Warby Parker Stuyvesant Plaza location.

Prices not any better than anyplace else
Frames selection low
I ordered my glasses on January 29 and today is February 14 and they are supposedly still working on them
They were promised 7 to 10 working days
I am afraid they may not be worth it
Save yourself some frustration and go somewhere else especially if you need glasses in a timely manner

They said my insurance covered 2 pairs of glasses. Ordered 2…. Then they emailed a few days later that insurance would only cover one. No problem, private paid for the second pair and co pay x2 for the original pairs. Orders were cancelled somehow after receiving order confirmations and no refund. Going elsewhere and still awaiting refunds. Eye exam was rushed.

I visited warby parker today I was Greeted When I Entered The Store by A Pleasant Female & Was Asked If she Could Help & Directed Me The Frames I Was Looking For! After Selecting My Frame I was Taken Care OF Right Away With The Associate Explaining The cost of Everything I Had A Valid Script So The Process Was Very Easy! I Was In & Out Selecting My Frame & Being Checked Out In 15 min A Very Good Experience! I Recommend Highly! I Will Receive My New Glasses By Mail So I Don't Have To Go Back To The Store Very Conveinent!
