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.
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)
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.

Amazing customer service. Genesis was experienced, and gave me excellent advice in my selection of glasses. She asked all the right questions and educated me in the design and material composition of glasses. She listened carefully and spent time with me. I purchased two pairs of glasses and will return soon for sunglasses. Shopping at Warby Parker is an uplifting experience.

My wife is in need of new glasses as her prescription has changed. We have visited several eyeglass places including this Warby Parker on Third ave and 69th. Great corner location. Very visible.
They have a great selection of frames at different price points. My wife found a couple of frames that she likes. Could not decide today but will definitely return. All staff are so helpful and friendly.

I am/was a first-time Warby Parker customer. Per my optometrist’s prescription, I bought two pair of glasses. I was not happy with them at all!
There were three magnifications crammed into too small an area, and the “everyday” vision part was giving tunnel vision vibes. It made me not wear them.
In the 11th hour I looked up the expiration date of WP’s 30-day guarantee and reached out to customer service and they kindly granted me an extension.
Yesterday I visited the WP location at 3rd Ave & 69th St (NYC) and by the time I left I had renewed faith about buying from WP.
Genesis was a-mā-zinggg and answered all my )sometimes) strange questions. They were great - and a prime reason I’m awarding ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️. 😉

Avoid. Stone faced unhelpful doctor and checkout person who try to get you in and out as fast as possible on a Saturday with 7 employees just standing around slumped over their phones. Don't take Anthem standard vision coverage. Slow service - "maximum" 10-14 days but when I asked the minimum she looked at me like, "how dare you ask a question?" I found another glasses store, with kind helpful service and one-hour service. Got glasses and wonderful frames same afternoon.
Warby Parker isn't what it used to be. WP closed a lot of Lenscrafter stores, but they are worse now. NY workers get high minimum wage, free PreK, huge benefits, why are they soulless, unhumane and lack social skills? Go to a local Manhattan eyeglass store where they treat you like a valued customer, not to a chain company.

Very unhelpful people who could not even tell me my order was lost and we had to place a new order. I had to call customer support.
I ended up cancelling everything.
I certainly do not recommend this store and Warby Parker in general.

So disappointing. I saw them on their website and went in because I need progressive glasses as a second pair. I was hoping to go to a major store instead of my local optician.
I came in just looking for information, and they pretty much waved me off, saying they couldn’t help me and that I should go back to where I bought my original pair. I was trying to learn more about getting another pair, and they were just so unhelpful.
What a disappointment.
I was looking to buy and they just brushed me off.

Quick, professional experience. Kind, helpful staff. I wasn't told the Digital Retinal Imaging would be an additional cost past the standard cost of the eye exam. It's only $35 additional, so not a huge issue, just think they should be more transparent about this cost! Great experience overall.
