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've been a Warby Parker customer for a long time, and have always had a good experience regardless of where I lived and which location I went to. But the team at this store is particularly friendly and helpful.

Misled.Scam. Virtual doctor.
I had a very disappointing experience with Warby Parker. I was already hesitant to try the company because, when I arrived for my appointment, the doctor was not actually present. However, I decided to give it a chance and try something different. In hindsight, I wish I had trusted my initial concerns.
The eye exam itself went fine, but I am sure this business is fully moving to remote soon (both doctor and tech were). I was provided with my prescription, paid and went on my way. However, when I later went to purchase glasses, I noticed that the binocular PD measurement listed for me appeared to be incorrect and significantly different from what I expected. I returned to the store several weeks later because I wanted clarification and simply wanted to understand what had been recorded.
Unfortunately, my experience with the two optometrists I spoke with was extremely frustrating. Rather than providing a clear explanation of the measurement or addressing why the numbers appeared incorrect, I was told that their license was “on the line” if they provided me with the measurement and I did not purchase lenses from Warby Parker.
That explanation did not make sense to me, and I was never given a satisfactory explanation for why I could not receive the measurement from my own eye exam. I have never experienced this kind of interaction when obtaining information from an eye exam before.
The biggest issue for me is that this experience has made me question whether I can trust Warby Parker's systems and the accuracy of the information being recorded. If a measurement is incorrect, I expect it to be addressed clearly and professionally—not to feel as though information is being withheld unless I make a purchase.
I went into this wanting to try something new, but unfortunately, I left feeling misled and very uncomfortable with the experience. Based on what happened, I would not feel comfortable trusting Warby Parker with my eye-care needs again.

I went to the Warby Parker in Charlottesville. I had purchased glasses there 2 weeks ago (which I love). Today I ordered two pairs of glasses. Megan, an optician waited on me, and another Megan. Both Megans are kind, professional, efficient and provided excellent customer care. After having had negative experiences with the staff members involved in the virtual eye exam process two weeks ago, I was pleased to experience outstanding service from both Megans today. Charles, another optician at this store, was not there today but his outstanding care, knowledge and respectfulness impressed me so much, that I was willing to return to this store. I do not recommend getting an eye exam (even a virtual eye exam) at this store. Thank you thank you to Megan, Megan and Charles!!!!!

Stopped in without high hopes to find new frames for my tiny face and the two ladies (I believe Holly and Morgan?? Sorry if I'm getting that wrong!) were extremely accommodating, professional, and helpful. They helped me find frames that I love quickly and without pressure. After explaining special circumstances, they set me up with an account to save my frames for later without any evidence of impatience. Thanks ladies!

This is a fantastic store. My wife and I worked with two sales associates and BOTH were wonderful. They provided objective feedback on the various frames we tried and assisted in identifying possible frames to purchase. We live an hour away and they were most helpful in having the glasses shipped to our home. I had purchased a previous pair from this store and we will continue to shop here due to the wide selection, receptive and helpful staff and price!

My first visit to Warby Parker. And I felt welcomed. I was very impressed with the array of glasses to choose from. And I was thankful for the help Holly gave me in finding the perfect eye wear. I will definitely go back to this store for my future eye wear needs. Thanks Warby Parker for making my day complete!
