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.
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.

Great experience working with Charles to find eyeglasses. He was quick with gathering my measurements and helped me check my vision benefits for insurance coverage. I was helped by two other staff members who were also friendly and helpful. I tried on 20+ pairs before making a decision and everyone working there was kind. Great service.

The staff here are some of the kindest people around. I am always greeted when I walk into the store. If everyone is occupied, they invite me to look around and let me know someone will be with me soon. I never feel pressured to buy anything, but the vibes are always so incredible I usually end up doing so anyway!

The Barracks Road location of Warby Parker was a very good choice for me.
Exam tech explained all tests and worked quickly without rushing. Online doctor was thorough in reviewing my results and made sure to answer any questions I had.
Frame selection was vast! And frame consultants listened carefully to my preferences and were able to pinpoint several choices that met my requirements. I didn’t have to slog through lots if unsuitable choices.
And everyone was attentive and pleasant.

Great team- super friendly and helpful. I thought I knew what I wanted when I walked in and ended up with a different style of frame I wouldn’t have otherwise considered. Their suggestion was totally the right call.

Every time I’ve visited the staff are never pushy and give me time to just browse by myself. Today, I finally knew what I wanted. Charles was sharp, quick and very kind. He helped me purchase a pair very quickly and was very reliable. Can’t wait to try on my pair of glasses soon!

Nice selection. Welcoming staff. LGBT-friendly.
Update: All three of the frames I purchased on my visit were shipped with incorrect lenses, and on calling the support line I found those lenses were not actually available for those frames, despite what the staff promised me.
I have initiated a return and I am unlikely to use Warby Parker again.
