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 a great experience at Warby Parker’s Central location! The parking is easy and convenient, and I love that the store was not overcrowded. The staff are extremely friendly, welcoming, and helpful, which makes the entire experience enjoyable. I also had an eye exam, and scheduling online was quick and easy. The doctor was right on time, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. Overall, it was a great experience all around. I highly recommend this location!

I've previously had good experiences with various Warby Parkers around Austin. That said my experience at the Central Park store was so poor recently that I am not sure I'll ever go back. I had Warby frames that I wanted a new prescription put into. Simple enough, right? When they arrived at my home after the new Rx was added they seemed off. So I went to the store to ask why the prescription seemed off. The young guy behind the counter with lots of piercings told me that I'd need to take it up with my eye doctor and probably get checked again and he could not help me. He wasn't particularly friendly but I decided to call my eye doctor and find out what was going on. I got them on the phone and they told me that the prescription was accurate and perhaps they could speak with Warby Parker to sort it out for me. the guy behind the counter refused and made a fuss about not taking my phone. So I put my eye doc on speaker phone and they tried to get some information from the guy. He wouldn't help other than to point at his ipad screen and say "see, this is the prescription you gave us" and basically it's your issue, not ours. I looked at his screen at the Rx he was showing me which clearly said 2018. guess what? We're in 2026 now and my eyes are not the same as in 2018. So basically they took an old Rx that should have been archived and put them in my glasses and then wanted me to think I was the one with eye issues. Still no apology from this kid once I pointed this out. He just said I needed to go get my new Rx and come back. He had so much disdain for me and not one ounce of an apology, it was really upsetting. I then left and when I went back to another Warby Parker once again with the new Rx that I had brought in in the first place, the new rep who helped me and who did apologize for their mistake told me that my new Rx was indeed in their system all along and he had no idea why or how they had used the old one that was archived. All this to say...places make mistakes. I get that, that's not even the issue. the issue is that this kid at Warby Parker Central Park was so obnoxious and rude. He had no idea how to apologize or help the situation by being understanding and helpful. He simply was rude, disdainful and could not care less. thankfully the other store knew a bit about customer service. Although I am STILL waiting on the glasses.....you blew it Warby Parker with one dopy employee.

The people I worked with were exceptional! The rep (Isabella) that welcomed me and checked me in, the optician (Dr. Catherine), the technician that got me checked out and glasses ordered (Nicole)
The glasses are stylish and affordable & they take my vision insurance!
It’s a little further from me than a different Warby Parker, (the one closer doesn’t offer eye exams) but the people here will keep me coming back to this location.

They did a great job on my late appointment on a Sunday evening. I had a complicated prescription and eye issue they were knowledgeable and able to help with. I ordered my glasses that night with expedited shipping and got them today, Friday evening. $134 for the appointment and another $330 for my glasses with expedited shipping. I am very happy.

I’ve always been a fan of Warby Parker but this most recent trip to the Central Park store in Austin was amazing! Finally being able to use my insurance was a huge plus and the staff was incredibly accommodating and helpful. I’ve been a customer since 2019 and I will always continue to come back!

What a great experience! The staff were all very helpful and friendly. Gabby came up and asked if she could help me and Tricia-Marie came up and helped me decide and took my order for a pair of regular glasses and a pair of prescription sunglasses. The glasses are arranged so that it is very easy to choose and try on the display frames. I love my new choices. The price was half of what I normally pay and I was out of there in a little over 30 minutes!

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.
