Virtual Vision Test vs AMD_eye

Still seeing well out of your current glasses or contacts prescription, but now it's expired? Virtual Vision Test by Warby Parker lets you renew it from home in 10 minutes using just your phone! And it starts at just $15. *Pricing* - You’ll only be charged if we can renew your prescription - You’ll hear back from our doctors within 48 hours. If the doctor renews your prescription, you’ll pay just $15. For multiple prescriptions you'll pay $25. - If they cannot renew your prescription and instead recommend you get an in-person, comprehensive eye exam, you will not be charged. *Eligibility* To use Virtual Vision Test, you must meet eligibility requirements set by state regulations and our doctors. Virtual Vision Test is great for anyone who: - Is between 18 and 65 years old - Does not live in one of the following states: AK, AZ, AR, CO, CT, DE, DC, GA, ID, IN, KS, KY, LA, ME, MD, MI, MN, NV, NJ, NM, ND, RI, SC, SD, VA, WA, WV - Has a single-vision distance Rx (not readers or progressives) - Has no eye health concerns or symptoms - Sees well with their current glasses or contacts How it works! It’s as simple as reading the eye chart at the doctor’s office—but on your phone. You just need your eyeballs, your glasses or contacts, and your phone. 1. We’ll guide you through a simple (but thorough) eligibility quiz to make sure the app is a good fit for you. 2. If you’re eligible, the app takes you through an equally simple vision test. You'll need to complete it in a quiet, well-lit spot where you have about 10 feet of space. 3. In about 48 hours, an eye doctor will assess your results. If they determine that you're still seeing well out of your current prescription, then the doctor may renew it and you'll pay the $15, or more, if you have multiple prescriptions. FYI: Virtual Vision Test by Warby Parker is not a comprehensive eye exam and it isn’t meant to replace visits to your eye doctor. It’s important to get your eye health examined periodically, even if you aren’t experiencing any vision problems, so please follow the advice of your doctor. Good to keep those peepers in check.

The AMD eye app is a mobile source of information for patients with age related macular degeneration (AMD) who still maintain some reading vision. The app is unique in that it has been developed by an ophthalmologist specializing in retina/macular diseases who has received feed back from his patients and importantly family members of AMD patients (who they themselves may be at risk for AMD due to genetic and hereditary factors). The developer in everyday retina practice has found that patients often forget, misplace or lose at home the amsler grid charts given to them by his office. Thus specifically this app is the 1st ophthalmology app for the AMD patient designed with the following integrated features: • an Amsler grid which the user can schedule daily or weekly alerts. • education and information data to patients about AMD. • design for patients and user focus in mind rather than a resource for the healthcare professional/student/resident who need more of a reference utility. • protects patient privacy by not allowing the upload of a patient's personal daily amsler grid recording.
