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.

I stopped in quickly for a frame adjustment after receiving my frames online and Shannon was quick to help me with a friendly smile. If you have any worries about purchasing frames online and then not having a local contact in case something needs adjusting, have no fear anymore. The entire team at the Stuyvesant plaza location was friendly and helpful.

Contacts didn’t fit well. We called to resolved the issue. They said it was probably defective. After a week to get the new contacts, they still didn’t fit well.
So we went in the store to talk with a representative. They said we needed to see the doctor to have them re-fitted. Unfortunately, they are mostly booked for two weeks to see an optometrist to fix the problem.
If you have issues, you can’t just go back to have it resolved. It may take a month to get a resolution. It’s not recommended to call them since the people on the phone are not associated with the employees at the store.

Walked in with my glasses’ nose pads broken, not expecting much since I thought this was a optician, not a repair store, but still wanting to give it a shot. Ashley jumped to helped me immediately and replaced both pads for me! (so they can match!) She was so sweet and kind and I really appreciate that I was able to walk in and get helped right away. ☺️🩷
