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 service, wonderful staff. Kayla greeted me and took care of ordering the 2 pairs of glasses I purchased. She handled the transaction perfectly and quickly. Very nice and knowledgeable sales person who also helped with the selection. The Optician, Shirley also assisted and also helped my wife with changing an order she had placed last week. Great store! Very friendly staff! Highly recommend!

Sherly was an amazing optician. She really helped me pick out the right pair and walk me through all of the different options to help me feel comfortable with the pair I ended up choosing. I would recommend anyone looking for help finding a new pair of glasses to get assistance from sherly!

Sherley from the Meatpacking store saved the day! My daughter was flying home from college and leaving the next day for an incredible adventure to Paris…but she forget her contact lenses at college 🤦♀️. I happened to be at Warby Parker buying prescription sunglasses when my daughter texted me. I shared this with Sherley and Sherley located samples of my daughter’s contact lenses from another store and saved the day! Thank you for going above and beyond, Sherley! She’s the best!

I love this company, and in particular the Washington St. store in the West Village. I have purchased dozens of frames from them and have always been impressed and satisfied.
In particular, I have dealt with Ian on multiple occasions and he had always been very knowledgeable and helpful. Yasmin as well has been very helpful.
Can’t say enough!

My experience was nothing short of a delightful. Yasmin was truly so kind and helpful on the retail-side, walking me through all of the various lens options without even an ounce of added pressure. She also helped get me in earlier for my eye exam with Dr. Cheema. Dr. Cheema was, quite plainly, a gem. She was so helpful and thorough, patient and warm. She explained the result of my eye exam in a very clear, relatable way that made me feel in control of my information. I didn't really think I'd do more than come here for the exam and the script I needed, but I ended up buying two pairs of glasses.

I love the Washington St location in NYC's Meatpacking District, have gone there since 2017 for eyeglasses. Staff is always friendly and eye exams are thorough. Anna was a great sales associate and let me try on half the store before I found the frames for me (four pairs).

Wonderful experience, Shirley went above and beyond to help my 6 year old after her frames broke at the park. Shirley and the staff were welcoming and extremely professional. Thanks to Shirley my first grade will be able to get through the school day! I highly recommend Warby Parker Meatpacking and thank them so much for the excellent customer service and professionalism!
