Tucked inside our Grand Central Terminal location is the first-of-its-kind Warby Parker Solarium, an illuminated nook specially made for trying on sunglasses. This bright spot combined with a dozen colorful Marleigh Culver murals make this store a cheerful oasis for city dwellers, commuters, and far-flung visitors alike.
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.

Excellent experience at Warby Parker at Grand Central. The sales associate, Andy, was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful in guiding me through selecting prescription glasses. Smooth process, great service, and a very positive in-store experience. Highly recommend.

Thank you so much, Jonathan! I ordered my glasses online and they were slightly too loose for my face. But Jonathan was able to assist me with adjusting my glasses. It was very kind and accommodating. This is a smaller location located at the back of Grand Central but very convenient for folks who work in the neighborhood. All of the staff seem very helpful I had a positive experience today

Warby Parker is not just a place you go to buy sunglasses. It means something to buy a pair of glasses....someone in need will get a pair as well. That is the only reason why I started getting my prescription and non-prescription glasses there.
