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.

I've been a customer of Cohens Fashion Optical for years. Just happened to be in the vicinity of Warby decided to drop in. First the place is clean and well lit with a comfortable temperature. The staff is knowledgeable and professional. Although I didn't purchase anything I will definitely be back. Get the eyes checked at Warby on 69th and 3rd yall ask for Anderson.

First time buying from Warby Parker and had a great experience. Even through the store was quite busy it wasn’t hard to get a sales associate’s assistance. Isaiah was super helpful and friendly during the ordering process. He made everything quick and easy. Would recommend.

It was a pediatric appointment. I was waiting for the doc to call my daughter again, and I was shocked when the optician, Julia whispering about us to another co-worker, and caught this in the small mirror and laughing. I felt very bad, and this is a horrible person for making a customer feel bad. Not a great experience. Will not be visiting this branch again.

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 eyeglasses were bothering me behind my left ear, where my skull is different from the right + hearing aid. Walked in yesterday and had the good fortune to have Gabriel, an excellent optician. Thorough and persnickety (in a good sense) in am now pain free. Thank you Gabriel.

I had a bad experience at this location. After ordering a pair of progressive sunglasses and waiting two weeks for them, I tried them on and everything looked a little blurry. If I raised the glasses a half inch, it seemed better. I went into this location and there about five or six people at the front. The person that helped me was unable to adjust the frames and frankly not very enthusiastic about helping me. She told me that nobody at the location was available to look at the lenses and find the issue.
After telling me to come back yet another day so that someone can look at them, I said that it might be easier to just return them. She couldn't care less and said ok. So much for customer service and trying to resolve an issue. It's nice to have a generous return policy, but how about doing a little more to resolve an issue and avoid losing a customer. There is a reason why these glasses are cheaper, poor lenses and bad customer service. At 4pm in the afternoon, why don't you have an optician to look at a pair of lenses?
I also called Warby Parker to give my feedback. The person thanked me and said that she would email me a receipt to confirm my return. There was no attempt to resolve this matter. Instead of spending so much money on advertising, my advice would be to try and retain customers that you already have.

I came in with broken glasses (the screw fell out) and I have a very bad stigmatism. They fixed them free of charge, sprayed them clean, and even tightened them to the point they actually feel BETTER on my face than before. The whole staff was very professional and pleasant (and looked great in their glasses I might add!)
