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.

Giovanni is so helpful and knowledgeable, and finally fixed the issue I was having with my glasses. I would definitely recommend this location and seeing him!

Great store for glasses. Eddie made this less of a purchase and more of an experience. He provided incredible hospitality and gave great recommendations. He even found the perfect pair for me, and we had a great time picking it out. Thanks, Eddie!

The store was so visually appealing and easy to navigate . I especially appreciated the help from staff member, Eddie, who went above and beyond to be sure I picked a pair of glasses that was right for me and my needs. Even though it was my first experience at Warby Parker, I can definitely see myself being a loyal customer due to the phenomenal experience I had at the South Congress store.

Came to exchange glasses for a different frame. This was for some reason difficult for the employees to handle in their system. They tried having me pay $50 more when it should have been the exact same. Then they ordered the same frame I came in to exchange so I had waste time by going to a different location today to return it.

Everyone in the store was very nice and the eye exam was easy but they did the additional retinal scanning service even though I specified to 2 different people I didn't want it. The cost ended up being the same as I was quoted ($205) but it would have just been $170 if I had gotten what I actually said I wanted/what I signed up for. I don't really like that I got bait and switched and they didn't make it clear during the actual exam when the additional-fee service was being performed. That just puts a bad taste in my mouth and I won't use this location in the future.
The phone number listed also doesn't connect you to the location itself but a call center and there is no parking.
Edit: just received the contacts I've ordered and upon opening there was a missing lens in the first pack. Their quality control is garbage and I'll be taking my business to 1800 contacts where I have never had an issue
The copy and paste response is so annoying too if you don't care about customers don't bother pretending

Order glasses in store and was quoted 10 day turn around time. Now I just got an email about “a failed inspection” and was given another 14 day turn around quote. A month of waiting for simple blue light glasses and I still don’t have them! What a joke
