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.

Warby Parker Leadership,
If I were to redefine what outstanding customer service looks like, I would start with a photograph of Li Ni and Andrew Jiang. My experience with these two employees at your Staten Island location deserves recognition for their exceptional knowledge, patience, professionalism, and kindness.
Although choosing eyeglasses may seem like a routine purchase, the process was somewhat concerning for me. Adjusting to the idea of wearing glasses permanently brought questions and apprehension. I had heard how different Warby Parker’s approach to eye care and eyewear was, but I experienced that difference firsthand when I walked through your doors.
Andrew greeted me warmly and immediately made me feel comfortable. He offered help without hovering, giving me space to explore while remaining attentive and available. He listened to my concerns, answered my questions thoughtfully, and helped ease my uneasiness about wearing glasses regularly. His manner was reassuring, and I never felt rushed or pressured.
Andrew seemed thoroughly familiar with practically every frame in the store. He helped me understand my options and select the right pair with confidence. His knowledge and professionalism were unquestionable, but what stood out equally was his ability to make the experience feel personal and comfortable.
When my new glasses arrived, I struggled with the prescription provided by my private optometrist. That was when I had the pleasure of meeting Li Ni. She listened patiently, calmed my concerns, and assured me without hesitation that the glasses could be remade with a corrected prescription.
I must have visited Warby Parker at least five times before we got everything right. Throughout that process, Li was exceptionally knowledgeable and consistently patient. She walked me through clear explanations and a series of in-store checks to help me understand what I was experiencing. It was not simply her technical knowledge that impressed me; it was her experience in handling these situations and her ability to turn my frustration and uncertainty into reassurance. She made me feel that finding a solution mattered to her.
At no point did either employee make me feel like an inconvenience. Despite the repeated visits and adjustments, I continued to receive the same warmth, attention, and willingness to help.
Andrew and Li exemplify the kind of service that earns lasting trust. They combine expertise with empathy and take genuine care in helping customers feel confident in their decisions. They represented Warby Parker exceptionally well, and I hope you will recognize both of them for their outstanding work.
Please extend my sincere appreciation and commendation to Andrew Jiang and Li Ni. They made a challenging experience a positive one and gave me every reason to return to Warby Parker and recommend your Staten Island location to others.
Sincerely,
Ahmad (Tony) Abdallah

It was good to be seen, no pun intended, not treated as an inconvenience. Will return for my prescription sunglasses

I had an exceptional experience at the Warby Parker store at Water Island Mall on August 27, 2026, while accompanying my mom for her appointment. From the moment we walked in, the entire team was welcoming, professional, and genuinely helpful.
I especially want to recognize the doctor who was working that day. She was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and thorough throughout my mom’s appointment. She took the time to answer all of our questions, explain everything clearly, and made my mom feel comfortable and well cared for. Her professionalism, patience, and kindness truly stood out and made the experience especially positive.
The front staff also deserves recognition. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and happy to assist, which made the entire visit smooth and pleasant from start to finish.
Overall, this was one of the best optical store experiences we’ve had. The team at Warby Parker Water Island Mall truly goes above and beyond, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for excellent service and a welcoming experience. Thank you to the entire team for taking such great care of my mom and making her appointment such a positive one!

This is my 2nd time getting glasses and contacts at the SI Mall location. They are so knowledgeable about insurance/FSA. They don't rush you in picking frames. The customer service is excellent and you can't beat the price of the frames.

I had a terrific experience with this store on Staten Island! They saw me at exactly my appointment time (no waiting). They checked my insurance as soon as I arrived and immediately after commenced with my exam. They even helped me choose my new frames! I was impressed that each person I spoke with gave me their complete attention with no interruptions.
When I left the store I had no questions!
