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.

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.

Dashed to this store to purchase a frame as I am experiencing double-vision and cataracts so I need them especially at night, frame of choice unavailable only display, was told it would take 2 weeks if I ordered!!! stores do not have phones to contact each other to check if they have a frame in stock!!! like WTH?!!!!. had to return to work, and in my annoyance at that absolutely ridiculous business practice, forgot the name of the model. Went on the website, can't find frame so I called WB listed number and got a calling center!!! Agent there had me on hold for 16!!!! minutes to ascertain if I have ever purchased or had fills done - almost as many years as I've been a customer!! That confirmed she sent 3rd ave an email to check based on my physical description to see if staff there remember the gray-haired woman who wanted to buy a pair of glasses. Now I'm waiting for an answer. God forbid I'd left something in the store. Warby Parker do better.
