What We Do

We’ve developed a better way for consumers to use vision benefits and access affordable eyewear.

Vision plans can strangle how eye care providers run their businesses and the quality of care that they deliver to patients. But we don’t think it has to be that way.

Fighting for price transparency
We believe vision care should be both profitable for eye care providers and affordable for patients.

Supporting independent practices
We’re here for the thousands of eye care providers across the country who are cutting ties with vision plans.

Moving vision care forward
We’re building innovative technologies that let eye care providers see any patient that walks through their door.

Our software unlocks vision benefits and streamlines payment methods for consumers and eye care providers. Consumers get affordable eyewear and providers can freely run their businesses, without being subject to vision plans’ restrictive policies and products.

Over the past few years, we’ve helped thousands of doctors and millions of patients access vision care more affordably. We are a venture-backed company and the leading software in the vision care industry
