Comprehensive exams starting at $85
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.
The well-known portion of an eye exam where you read from a chart of progressively shrinking letters until they're too small to see
The part of the exam that determines your prescription for corrective lenses (if you need them)
A screening for issues like glaucoma and cataracts, and for signs of other health conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and more
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)
Insurance, FSA, and HSA
Whether we’re in- or out-of-network with your carrier, you can use vision insurance to save at Warby Parker . (We accept FSA and HSA, too!)
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.

This was one of the best experiences I’ve had! Taylor made me feel like family from the second I opened the door. She got me checked in and helped me choose some incredible frames from their amazing collection. She walked me through each step of the process. Taylor helped me understand my insurance and made sure I got the most value out of it. 15/10 service! Dr. Conklin was fantastic as well and made me feel very comfortable. He built amazing rapport and I trust him so much. The whole process was truly remarkable. I cannot recommend them enough.

Dr. Conklin was fast, very friendly, and did a great job explaining what was going on with my eyes. I felt like I had plenty of time to ask questions and left feeling confident in my treatment plan. The other staff were friendly and helped me choose frames that fit my face well. My overall experience was very smooth and easy.

The optometrist (Dr. Mallon) was thorough and comprehensive and beyond detailed. He also took the time to explain each step of the process and review the results. He has gained my trust and confidence. I was beyond impressed. The technician helping with my glasses equally did a wonderful job.

Having never purchased glasses before, but having recently acquired a prescription for them in adulthood, I was a bit unsure of what exactly I was doing when I entered this store. But that didn't end up mattering, as an extremely friendly&knowledgeable staff patiently helped me through every step of the process without leaving me feeling even a little bit foolish. If you want to shop somewhere with employees that care (and with great senses of style) I would highly recommend this location!

Always a pleasure coming here. Staff is always helpful, they see you quickly and respond to text messages which is great. Easy to get appointments and easy to adjust if something comes up. Both optometrists are super smart and are very receptive to any special requests or needs. Will always come back here.
