Education

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.

This warby parker is the absolute worst. TLDR: the manager does not know how to deescalate a situation and was giving me, the customer, attitude with a raised voice. I brought in a pair of discontinued glasses to get the lens replaced about a month ago and they were lost in transit. Warby Parker didn’t notice that UPS lost them for WEEKS so that by the time they put in a missing package investigation, there was zero chance of finding them. I was told I would receive a free pair of glasses because of what happened and get the lens replacement fee refunded since nothing ever came of the lens replacement. I got new glasses but never got the fee refunded. I just went into the store and spoke to the female manager of this location and she wasn’t listening to what I was saying and I got frustrated because she just kept repeating back to me what she had originally said instead of listening to me and hearing out this unique situation. Eventually she started giving me extreme attitude, making annoyed faces and raising her voice at me and telling me that she does not have to deal with me. When I kept telling her what her colleague told me, that I would get the lens replacement fee refunded, she kept gaslighting me telling me I was wrong and kept just yelling at me saying the same thing over and over again. She is extremely unprofessional. I work with people and whenever someone starts yelling at me, I calmly reassure them and try to deescalate the situation, not make it worse. What kind of manager doesn’t know how to deescalate a situation with a customer? Her attitude made the situation ten times worse. All she had to do was reassure me that even if I was told one thing, this is why the situation plays out as it does, in a calm manner. Not just continue to tell me the same thing over and over again with increasing levels of attitude. I hope warby parker corporate sees this and fires her for her unprofessionalism and attitude toward customers. Other customers were in there as well and were able to see the attitude she was giving me and see how she was raising her voice to a customer instead of being able to deescalate a situation. I’ve been a customer with warby parker since 2020 and they will never see me again. I never write negative reviews unless it is something as atrocious as this. She needs serious customer service training and warby parker needs to figure out how to deal with these situations in a more clear and streamlined manner.

Jairo spent an unbelievably kind 2 hours (!) with my family, helping us select glasses and sunglasses for my 91 year old grandma. He was so patient, kind, warm, and hilarious. My grandma was laughing the whole time. Couldn’t have dreamt up a better associate to help us. He’s hoping to become a social worker one day—and for good reason; he’ll make an incredible one!

Warby Parker Lexington is a great place to go to have your eyes checked & to be fitted with glasses.
I really appreciate the friendliness & care shown to me by Dr. Jasmine Jethwa & other staff who gave me their input on glasses, etc.
I will be a long-time customer due to my great experience with Warby Parker & I will spread the word to family and friends!
I appreciate that Dr. Jethwa understood that I want to hold off on the more expensive precision progressive glasses until next year due to the expense. Instead, I selected distance glasses which suits me just fine for now.
I am grateful to the kind staff members who gave me their input on which glasses suited me best! It's always a good idea to get a 2nd opinion!

I had such a great experience picking out my new glasses! Nicole was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful throughout the entire process. She took the time to help me find frames that fit my face and matched my style, and she made the whole experience feel easy and stress-free. She answered all of my questions and never made me feel rushed. Thanks to Nicole, I found a pair of glasses that I absolutely love. Her excellent customer service made all the difference, and I highly recommend asking for her if you visit!

I had an extremely disappointing experience with the eye exam at Warby Parker’s Upper East Side location with Dr. Melanie Fleyshmakher.
My previous prescription had been stable for approximately five years. Although I had noticed my distance vision getting worse, I was given a prescription with lower corrective power and a new astigmatism correction that had never previously been part of my prescription.
What concerned me most was the lack of communication during the exam. Dr. Fleyshmakher never reviewed my prescription with me, explained why significant changes were being made, discussed my vision concerns, or asked whether I had any questions. The appointment ended with me simply being told that my prescription had been sent downstairs and that I could order my glasses.
While placing my order downstairs after finally seeing my prescription, I raised concerns with three different employees because the prescription seemed significantly different and less powerful from my previous one. I specifically asked to speak with the doctor before purchasing my glasses, but I was repeatedly told she was unavailable.
After receiving my glasses, my distance vision was noticeably worse. Reading road signs and license plates while driving became more difficult due to increased blur.
To Warby Parker’s credit, customer service acknowledged that my exam experience fell short of the level of care and communication I should have received and escalated my complaint to leadership for review. However, despite acknowledging these shortcomings, I have spent weeks waiting for a refund resolution without a decision, even as I’ve been following up once a week for the last 30 days.
I have purchased glasses from Warby Parker before and expected a professional eye care experience. Unfortunately, this experience has left me without confidence in the examination process at this location.

The Lexington Ave store in the UES has a wide selection of frames - colors, sizes and styles. My RX limits the size of the lense that I can wear, so having lots of frames to choose in multiple colors is a big win for me. Ashely, the Sales Rep, provided excellent service. I bought one pair and most likely will go back for a second - in a different style or color.
