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.

Very happy with today’s experience. The store was packed. All associates were kind, helpful, patient and offered great feedback. I had to come back later that same day bc I changed my mind about one of the pairs I purchased, and they were all equally cool and helpful.

The team was fantastic! They were friendly, hassle free, and also no pressure to buy which ultimately led me to purchasing my glasses from here. They helped file my claim with VSP after which was so helpful (thanks y’all!) and after all is said and done, I got a sweet pair of glasses for $55. FYI: I shopped around (Vision Source, Target, Costco, America’s Best) and honestly this was the best deal. Also, I like how if I don’t like my glasses I can get a different pair that day. I also appreciate the six month scratch protection and lifetime adjustments. Shop around if you want but I really appreciate the value and overall experience I received at WP.

I really enjoyed shopping at Warby Parker. They had an extensive selection of stylish frames at reasonable prices. Jaye’s assistance with finding the perfect frame was invaluable. She was a pleasure to work with and even filed my insurance claim on my behalf. Looking forward to wearing my new glasses!

Had a wonderful experience selecting and ordering my glasses. Stop in here two different times before finally deciding on what to buy. Both times the staff was warm, inviting, friendly, and helpful. Even when busy the staff make sure to greet and check in on me as I was browse. When I ordered the staff worked to ensure I'd receive my glasses in a timely manner. Will update once my glasses arive.

I had a fantastic experience today and was really impressed with the friendliness of the staff. They genuinely liked helping customers and working together. I was also impressed with the cost. I went to another store first and didn't want to spend so much on rimless glasses that I’ll use as backup to my contacts. The Warby Parker option was still the style I wanted, they took my insurance and was 10 times less than the other quote. I called my sister on my way home in shock. Oh and because I knew exactly the style I wanted, it only took 15 minutes!
Really impressed with the whole experience!
