Education
SUNY College of Optometry
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 had an excellent experience at Warby Parker. The optometrist who helped me (I believe his name starts with an "L" lawrence... I think and he has locs) was absolutely amazing. He helped fix my glasses and provided some of the best customer service I've experienced in a long time.
Even though the store was close to closing, he never made me feel rushed. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answer all of my questions, and make sure my glasses fit perfectly. He was friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely cared about helping me.
Because of him, I'll definitely be returning to this location and recommending it to others. Thank you for going above and beyond!

Everyone was absolutely wonderful from the moment I walked in to the moment I left! My eye exam was thorough and the doctor was caring, informative, and friendly. The team member who helped me pick out my new eyeglasses and sunglasses was also wonderful, and helped me find the perfect frames. I will absolutely return -- everyone at this location is fantastic and a pleasure to work with!

Dr. Huang and Aaron are amazing! This is the second year in a row that I have seen Dr. Huang and was paired with Aaron after my exam. Dr. Huang’s bedside manners are impeccable! She made the eye exam process pleasant, comfortable, and easy. Aaron made the transition from the eye exam room to the product floor seamless! During my selection of glasses, Aaron was very patient. He is very knowledgeable about the products and how different indexes and filters affect the eyeglass wearing experience. He made the final selection process easier. Out of all the New York Warby Parker locations, 82nd St and Lexington Ave is my favorite!

The office was clean,airy , well lit with a wide variety of frames on display. Everyone was pleasant, professional, helpful and patient! Dr. Chicote was very thorough,patient and explained everything to me. He printed my prescription, gave me a referral for a retinal specialist- he actually gave me choices. Aaron was so helpful and patiently explained my options and different discounts. I left completely satisfied!

I scheduled an eye exam the same day and got a 5pm appointment. I got there at 3:30pm and they saw me at 3:45. Everyone is very nice and are all great at answering questions. I was in and out and got my glasses shipped to me in about 3 days.
