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.
