You don't need anything but your eyeballs to peruse and try on our frames. If you're planning to purchase prescription frames or contacts, it's helpful to have a digital or physical copy of your current prescription. If you'd like to pay with an [FSA or HSA](https://www.warbyparker.com/flexible\-spending\-accounts) card, remember to bring that along, too. No prescription handy? Not a problem! You can come in just to browse, shop for non\-prescription sunglasses and accessories, or can book an eye exam at most locations.

Inside of our 80th & Columbus store (right across the street from the American Museum of Natural History!) you’ll find a New York institution of our own creation: the Warby Parker Museum of the Blue-Footed Booby. It’s full of fun zoological findings, in-shop photo ops, and artistic homages to our unofficial, avian mascot. There are also glasses, sunglasses, and contacts, of course, and a team ready to help with any and all of your optical needs.
