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.

I put off getting glasses because of how daunting of a task it seemed but working with the store manager, Dalton made it super easy. We quickly found a pair that suited the look I was going for and he was super helpful in guiding me through the process of getting my first pair of glasses!

I took off a half day of work for an appointment at Warby for a new glasses prescription, for 2:35 PM. I walked in at 2:41 PM and was told there is a 5 minute grace period between appointments and that mine had been cancelled.
No prescription, no glasses, burned a half-day of leave, and paid $15 in garage parking for the pleasure. Done with Warby and I’m going back to my local optician.

This was my first time using Warby Parker , from making the appointment, to my eye exam, ordering new frames it was painless , everyone was so pleasant . The gentleman in reservations was very thorough and pleasant making my appointments for both of us .The optometrist I had Dr. Christopher Zahora was excellent, my eye exam was great, not rushed , I recommend him 150 percent. The young lady Zeineb is a plus to your store , she assisted me in purchasing my frame , she was very kind, caring and even though it was busy and help was needed elsewhere she concentrated on helping me and I appreciated that very much , never once did she act stressed or made me feel I needed to act quickly in picking my frame , she sure can multi task . Last bit of info I can’t forget my husband went the day before had Dr.Tara Stanley and he said she’s the best , so thanks everyone I’m the Pentagon City Warby Parker for the excellent customer service.

I’ve been a loyal customer for years, but this most recent experience has been awful. I got two pairs of glasses, a pair of sunglasses, and contacts. Something is terribly wrong because I cannot see out of one eye, my eyes cannot focus or work together and everything is blurry. The company keeps promising that my doctor will call, but I never get a call. They’ve just stopped acknowledging my calls and emails completely. It’s a great experience when everything is fine, but when they mess up making your glasses they ignore you. Never coming back to Warby Parker again.

In town for work and needed to get new glasses. I stopped by the Warby Parker in Pentagon City Mall today and had probably one of the best customer service experiences I’ve ever had at any Warby Parker. Dalton (manager) and Michelle E. (WP customer rep) were so awesome. They were professional, polite, and determined to help me find a solid set of frames.
Before even trying on a single pair, I told them both I wanted their honest opinions about what looked good and what didn’t — and that’s exactly what they gave me. After trying on what felt like every frame in the entire store (seriously was like 30 pairs), I ended up finding a great pair we all agreed on. Huge shout-out to both of them. If you’re a Warby Parker person, def stop by this location. 🤙🏽

Great experience and an overall fantastic team! I went in for my first pair of glasses in a long time, so had to decide on frames, lens type, and basically everything. The team quickly helped me pick out a pair of frames, but aesthetically it wasn't quite right when the glasses came in (perfect choice of frames, I just needed a smaller size). They went out of their way to make sure I was happy with my pair and were eager to help me and send them back out for a replacement. A huge thank you to Jerius, who's super knowledgable and who I've had the pleasure of working with a few times now, and a really wonderful staff who truly cared that I was happy with my glasses and my experience! Thanks, everyone—I'm very grateful! Two thumbs up and ten stars! :)

Well to be honest Rosie helped me the first day I came in to look for glasses. She went over all the frames sizes and which ones would be best to have the width that I needed. She also recommended which frames were already on the floor that had that size and told me she would check to see if a frame I liked would be available in that width. She was so wonderful and nice. Thanks Rosie! You are the best defenetly went with her recommendation the Santiago's.

I’ve been to many eyecare places and this is by far my favorite. Dr. Zahora is very caring perfessional, he gave me a very thorough eye exam. Jerius and Rosie were very knowledgeable and helped me pick the perfect pair of frames. Everyone is honest and forthcoming, there were no surprises, I definitely will be coming back next year.

Rosalinda was very rude to me. She scowled at me for speaking Spanish and even yelled that I didn't have "in network insurance" when I did. Thankfully, another employee was able to locate my insurance and help me. However, I was later asked if wanted to apologize to Rosalinda for speaking Spanish.
I am a proud Mexican American and will never apologize for speaking either English or Spanish.
I want to be clear. I love the designs here, and my exam with Dr. Zahora was excellent. But, no one should ever feel disrespected for their language or heritage.
