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 walked in and was immediately greeted by Charles. I came in with an idea of what I would like and ended up with frames much different because Charles worked with me to understand what would be best for my face and coloring. I highly recommend this store. The customer service is great.

Nice store with plenty of frames. I was lucky, I was the only customer late morning. My sales/service person was very patient and helpful as were the opticians. I ordered cool frames.

I came in to get my pair of Warby Parker glasses repaired. Charles helped me and noticed that the fit needed adjusting. My glasses fit better now than the day I purchased them. I greatly appreciated his kindness and attention to detail.

Charles Dowell, one of Charlottesville’s best Licensed Opticians, always takes such incredible care of us. We had our first eye exam with WP and were very impressed. We live aboard a boat but keep our medical care based in Charlottesville, which includes Charlsand his team. We like that we can travel to any number of places that have Warby Parkers. It is Charles who keeps bringing us back here. The staff is incredibly helpful.

Visited the store, each of us found frames we liked. We would have purchased glasses and sunglasses. Four sets of glasses - likely $2,000. Alas, they do not accept United Healthcare Insurance.
Purchased later for a similar cost at a competitor.
Nice service, good sales job. Not sure why they do not accept UHC insurance.

I'd already searched your online presence and was prepared with my choices when i visited your store.
Once there, your associates were welcoming, attentive, and professional. I was done in twenty minutes!
Faster processing than 14 days would be better.
