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 had to put this review on high priority today and here is why... yesterday I had the worst experience ever at an eyeglass store in Jersey City (Cohen's Optical on Kennedy Blvd). I will document that ordeal at another time.
I was given the Warby Parker name by a friend of mine after being told my glasses would cost $1000 at that other place:)
I have never had a professional eye exam or entered an eyeglass store before and I guess they knew it.
However, today on entering Warby Parker it was like a breath of fresh air! I relayed my experience at the other store and was passed on to Yasmin who introduced me to the process and assisted me in selecting frames that suited me. The whole visit took less than 15 mins and I left in the knowledge that a pair of glasses (My first outside the realm of OTC 'cheaters') would be shipped to my home in about 7 to 10 days. When I was told the price I did an immediate double take as it was less than a quarter of the price I was asked to pay at Cohens for a pair of glasses and they were more tailored to my needs - even with a blue filter for my computer work. After leaving I wondered if I should have ordered a pair for distance too - just in case - but I am sure I will return here if even just for an extra pair. No more cheaters for me it's Warby all the way. And as for Cohens? NEVER AGAIN!

Had a very enjoyable time picking out frames for new progressive glasses. Alex helped me and he was a real pleasure. He is very accommodating and knowledgeable. He cares about the product and the customer. He helped me choose the best frame for my face and he guided me in lens tinting options. I am so excited to get my glasses! You can never go wrong at Warby Parker—for fashion, style, well made frames with a vast selection, extremely cost effective, and a great customer service team.

Was there yesterday for a progressive eye exam & glasses. The staff was very professional and knowledgeable. They created 3 kinds of prescriptions (reading, computing, progressive) and then offered me great frames and features. very friendly and efficient as well. Super impressed coming from Europe and having spent money on European brands. WB is great

Update:
I want to update my review because after my experience, the store manager, Britney, personally called me to discuss what happened. She was professional, sincere, and genuinely apologetic. I truly felt that she listened to my concerns and wanted to address the situation rather than simply defend it.
She invited me to come back and assured me that she would personally assist me during my visit. That conversation completely changed my impression of how the company handles customer concerns. While my original experience with the front desk was still unacceptable, Britney demonstrated the professionalism, accountability, and customer care I would expect from an excellent manager.
I also learned that she has been with Warby Parker for six years, and after speaking with her, it’s easy to understand why. To me, she’s the real superstar of that store. She represents the company in the best possible way, and I sincerely appreciate the time and effort she took to restore my confidence in Warby Parker.
—-
I had an incredibly disappointing experience at Warby Parker and won’t be coming back.
I arrived on time for my scheduled appointment and ended up waiting almost an hour, only to be told that I couldn’t be seen because my appointment had been booked as a re-exam instead of a full exam. This was especially frustrating because this was already my third visit after receiving an incorrect prescription, so it’s hard to understand why the appointment type suddenly became my responsibility.
The explanation made even less sense when I was told the issue was that my appointment was booked for 15 minutes instead of 20 minutes. After making me wait nearly an hour, they couldn’t find an extra five minutes to see me. Instead, I was told the “best they could do” was rebook me for five hours later, as if that was doing me a favor.
The front desk employee, Shay, came across as overly polite on the surface, but the interaction felt dismissive and patronizing. It was the kind of customer service where you’re smiling while effectively telling the customer, “Too bad.” I had taken time out of a busy workday, arrived on time, waiting for almost an hour and left without being seen because of what felt like an internal scheduling mistake.
Overall, terrible customer service, poor communication, and zero respect for customers’ time. I’ll be taking my business elsewhere.

After finding that my local Warby Parker had closed, I went to this store near Union Square. After having an exam at another optician, I learned I was a good candidate for Lasik surgery in the next year or so, but I did need to fill a new prescription. It was definitely time for a new look, and I wanted good looking, inexpensive glasses that would take me through the rest of the year until I make my final decision about the surgery.
The staff at the Union Square location were extremely helpful. Once directed to the type of frames I was looking for, I was eft alone to make my selection. There was no pressure from the staff to go for more expensive options. Add-ons were explained to me but never pushed. Having heard a lot about Warby Parker, I had high hopes for my experience. I was NOT disappointed!!

I recently went to the Warby Parker at 73 Fifth Avenue. The staff there is extremely helpful and ANT went above and beyond to explain everything to me and help me with all my decisions. Nowadays its very hard to get good customer service and he went above and beyond. He is an asset to the company.

I stupidly forgot to bring my contacts on a trip, and needed a week supply. After trying a couple local optometrists with no luck, and overpriced estimates, I tried Warby. They mentioned that I needed to buy a 3 month supply, which seemed like the norm, but the price they quoted was less by half. In the end, when I was ready to buy some supply, the optometrist gave me a week's trial lenses for free, with a smile. Super kind. I was thinking of buying glasses from Warby, now even more of a reason to!
