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.

Bought 2 pairs of frames. Went to return one pair and was issued a refund on a card that does not match any of my information. I’ve called the store for 2 weeks now, have visited the store, spoke to a manager, emailed that manager and STILL have gotten absolutely no feedback on my issue, so now I’m out of my refund - horrible

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.

Professional eye exam with caring staff and great customer service. The carefree atmosphere to select and try on frames is also wonderful. Price is reasonable and there are wide range of frames to choose from. Only thing is they do not carry brand names.
