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 went into the store yesterday to narrow down my choices of frames I picked in the app. From the moment I stepped into the store, Olivia welcomed and prioritized me! She was kind, attentive and very helpful and I left the store with confidence about what I was going to order. Whenever I go to Warby Parker, customer service is never an issue, but Olivia was exceptionally intentional and authentic and I HAD to shout her out! I promised her I would come back to the store to show her my frames and I am going to make good on that promise! Narrowing down my choices was a lot more fun with her and I cannot wait to get my new frames!

This was a Great Experience! The Associate was AHMAZING!!! She understood my need and provided professional and Friendly service! I believe WP pricing is a little high for lenses compared to online shopping ... their frames to me are comparative in quality to online. The difference is seeing / feeling exactly how they'll fit on your face. WP offers different size widths of the same frame which gives them an advantage so as a consumer this makes an difference... The beauty of being taken care of in person is priceless! As long as their Associates continue to provide EXCELLENT Service it's worth it! I've visited several of their locations and I must say each have been AHMAZING in service! Looking forward to receiving my glasses!

I came to the Warby Parker at Rockefeller Center for an eye exam, and the experience was fantastic. Dr. Jessie Yu was super kind and explained everything clearly. She did a thorough eye exam, and I’m really happy with the result. Plus, they have a great selection of glasses. I definitely recommend it.

I had an excellent experience purchasing my prescription sunglasses at the Warby Parker store in Rockefeller Center.
The sales associate who assisted me was incredibly kind, efficient, and honest throughout the entire process. She took the time to understand my needs and helped me choose the frames and lenses that were best suited for my lifestyle and prescription, without ever making me feel pressured to make a purchase.
What I appreciated most was her professionalism and transparency. She carefully walked me through the different payment options available and even helped me determine whether part of the cost could be covered by my insurance, ensuring that I received the best value possible.
The entire experience was smooth, personalized, and enjoyable. I left feeling confident that I had made the right choice. I highly recommend the Rockefeller Center location to anyone looking for quality eyewear and outstanding customer service. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Beatrice was incredibly helpful with my glasses and contact lenses. She accommodated me with same-day follow-ups on two separate occasions, which I greatly appreciated. She was kind, responsive, and truly went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. Excellent service and a great experience overall!

I liked a frame but its size was medium and I asked the seller if it was possible to adjust it to my wide sized face. She said it is not possible. I mentioned that I liked that frame too much but she said it is produced only medium size, so it is not possible to adjust it. Then I went to Grand Central Store and there was the great man Nigel, he adjusted the frame to my head shape and it fitted as is it was tailor made for me. Never go to Rockefeller Store, Grand Central branch is the best. All staff were very very helpful. They informed me that if I buy pair of frame there will be an extra %20 discount. As they were all helping with a smiling face I was happy to shop in that store and bought two frames. Nigel is a very talented and helpful technician that he made up mu mind to shop always from WP Grand Central store.

It is my favorite location of this amazing brand. I’m with them for more then 8 years. Last year also started to use contact lenses. This brand is always have trendy glasses but the most important the professionalism of their staff. They will always find a solution and help to arrange all process smooth as a silk. Visit them yearly, and it always great impression. Today Hunter was incredibly helpful and professional. Will be back soon for a new set of lenses. Thank you WP!

He llegado a Warby Parker con unas gafas de sol graduadas de una conocida marca americana que ha cerrado su flagstone en NY, y a las que se les había perdido un tornillo y el cristal estaba totalmente suelto.
Dhiloren me atendió primero en inglés y luego en castellano con mucha amabilidad y simpatía!
Me coloco un nuevo tornillo, me ajusto las gafas y me limpio los cristales!
Cuando pregunte cuánto debía pagar, me contestó q el servicio era gratuito!!!
A mi me ha resuelto el problema, así que mañana, gracias a Warby Parker y en especial a a Dhiloren,asistiré a la graduación de mi hija con mis gafas de sol reparadas, ya que anuncian un día soleado en el Bronx.
Graciasssss!!!
