Our University Village store is bright, open, and airy, thanks to exposed metal ceiling beams, concrete flooring, and skylights aplenty. (Look behind the Reference Desk for an original mural by artist Geoff McFetridge!)
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.

The store was clean, well-lit, and well-stocked with the different frames and their variations. The staff were friendly, and Noor helped me identify the minute differences between similar frames.

When you go - ask for Jackie! She is knowledgeable, incredibly kind, and will give you honest feedback about what looks good and what doesn't. When you're buying glasses and literally can't see... you need someone who has your back!

I love Warby Parker! Convenient location and employees are all very friendly and extremely helpful. The glasses are a high quality and price is right! They have numerous styles in different color options, but it’s not too many that the choice becomes overwhelming. All frames are fashionable so you can’t go wrong and the employees offer advice if you want help selecting a pair.

Their lenses are trash quality and they only have 6 month scratch insurance. Conveniently the scratches start showing up just before a year and they refuse to fix it. Here's another lost customer. Also the whole offerings got significantly more expensive in the past couple of years. No longer a deal (even with the bad quality)

I originally had a wonderful first time experience with Warby Parker but I will NEVER go back to this location ever again. Not only did they lose my first pair of glasses when I sent it in for a lens replacement through the store, they also completely forgot to refund me the full $145 for another pair of glasses I returned within the allotted time frame. I'm completely done trying to deal with this location and I hope the one on Pine is better than this one.
