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 $35)
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.

Great experience getting my eye exam and buying two new pairs of glasses. Everyone was so friendly (and honest about what styles looked best). They were so timely with my appointment and I appreciate the kind disposition of my doctor. Highly recommend anyone visit this location when you have a chance.

More than 5 stars! We had a huge problem and Kevin saved the day. Wonderful service, same day appointments, and a warm, cozy atmosphere. If you need glasses or contacts, make this your first stop (Lexington Ave location).

Worst customer experience and a waste of time & money. Focused more on hype, sales rather than healthcare. Bystanding Staff never cared about helping my 12 ye old with the frames, convinced me to buy the prescription as & ship them home. Link to upload description didn’t work. Back office has no record of PD measure taken at store & now questioning the vision insurance confirmed at store. Spent 3 hours on phone trying to coordinate & still no resolution on getting my purchase.

Either avoid, or be weary of the employees' deceptive practices. I had an appointment for an eye exam. Upon checking in, the employee immediately said "the first part of your exam is retina imaging" and told me to sit down for it. I had no reason to question it so I complied. Another customer came in after me who was given the option to do this, and told it would be an additional fee. I was not given this option, and was of course charged a fee for doing this (I apparently give naive and unsuspecting!) It seems they're instructed to work this imaging in where they can. They also made an appointment a year from now on my behalf, without consulting me first, which I had to cancel as I won't be stepping into a Warby Parker ever again.
