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 visited this location twice, and while most of the employees are friendly and the store itself is nice, my order was incorrect twice. I found a pair of sunglasses on display in the store which I expressed I wanted made with the same lenses. I really love the look of the display pair.
Twice, the lenses of the in-store display pair were misidentified and I received glasses with lenses that were very obviously different. The first time, I even asked the employee if she was sure about the color, because the lenses did not look like the color she was entering in the order and I was told that it's just hard to tell sometimes.
This third time, I instead contacted online support in an attempt to get this resolved. Hopefully with online help, Warby Parker will get my glasses correct this time. A little bummed as I was hoping to have them sooner to use for the height of summer.

Customer service (phone number) answered my questions clearly and scheduled my appointment at location close to where I live. Quick turn around- got in to an Optometrist next day. Location was well lit, modern, clean, easy to locate, and plenty of parking. Optometrist was the best I have ever experienced. Answered all my questions & was kind. Very thorough but good speed of service. Updated equipment. Customer service of assistant was great. My contacts & frames were ordered while I was there. Great selection of frame shapes and colors. Contacts mailed out next day. Tracking on contacts via email very easy. Eta less then a week on contacts. Eta on filled RX frames on glasses is around 14 days but will have a better idea once they ship out.

I had an eye exam for my contact lenses and i ordered them from the store because they offered me and said if they dont work I could return them. So I ordered two brands to see which felt better. One of the brands felt dry on my eyes so i came back to return and they said I couldnt because the box was open. How am I suppose to know theyre uncomfortable if I cant try them ??? They told me I shoulve asked for try outs first. If thats the case why did they tell me at checkout that I could return them if they didnt feel comfortable ? Worst customer service ever, the guy was super rude to me.

Save yourself time and go to the South Congress location.
They misadjusted my glasses and made them even more crooked. When I took them to SoCo location, the opticians were so confused. Save a trip and skip this place

I made the mistake of coming in this morning and saying hi to an employee standing by himself. I was treated to sarcasm and condescension. The sneering look was a bonus. The only thing I could think of to say is to announce my departure. Thanks for letting me now I inconvenienced you by looking for new glasses. Won't happen again. I'll go online and buy them.

This was my first time going into Warby Parker, and I bought a pair of glasses on this very first visit. The staff was extremely helpful, made great suggestions as far as color and fit, and they seemed knowledgeable. The frames I chose were very budget friendly, and they looked great. I really liked the selection. I purchased really nice looking glasses for literally 1/4 of what I paid at my optometrist office, and I like these glasses much more. Plus, the staff was great!

Walked in on a monday afternoon during lunch. The girl working (all guys, one girl) was VERY helpful, she was honest, and helped me pick frames that actually compliment me and looked good on me. Many options, happy with WP, and I was in and out in 10 minutes. Great staff.
She was really pretty too.
