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.

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 gave this review 5 stars because David, one of the optometrists at this location, took fantastic care of me less than a year ago when I bought my first pair of transitional glasses as well as a pair of prescription sunglasses. I remembered David because he was so wonderfully helpful, sensitive, caring, and professional. He helped me select beautiful frames and determine which size was best for my face. Unfortunately, with my most recent purchase, one of the pairs of glasses had a defect in that the coating on one lens was peeling. David completely understood and remedied the situation to my complete satisfaction for which I am grateful.

I had heard of Warby Parker for a while but had never patronized one. Today, I decided it was time for new glasses. I went into their shop and was delighted. The staff were terrific and made the experience of being fitted and purchasing glasses extremely easy. Their prices are budget-friendly, as well. I'll definitely be recommending them to my friends and family.

I’ve had really positive experiences at this Warby Parker location, whether getting glasses adjusted, picking out new frames or just browsing. I am terrible at making decisions, but today Victoria was very patient with me and made great frame suggestions. I have purchased four pairs of progressive glasses from Warby Parker in the past several years, and they have all been excellent. My opthomologist confirmed they were made correctly according to my prescription. I highly recommend Warby Parker!

What a great place to purchase eyeglasses! This branch on the Upper West Side is terrific. Excellent eye doctor with the most modern equipment for my eye exam. Friendly and helpful staff. The whole place spotlessly clean. Two beautiful pair of glasses are coming my way. Plus, company policy includes donating glasses to those in need, which they have done for years. It's a company that cares. A first-class operation from start to finish!
