Our app provides the easiest way to shop for LensDirect vision care products, including eyeglasses, sunglasses, contact lenses, and accessories. But shopping is just the beginning. App benefits/features: - Purchase name-brand contact lenses at a fraction of the cost. - Virtually try on frames anytime, anywhere (For iPhone X and above). - Enjoy free shipping and easy peasy returns. - Easily manage your contact lens subscription. - Measure your pupillary distance (PD) in real-time (For iPhone X and above). - Earn LD Rewards with every purchase. - Receive notifications when you might be running low on contact lenses. - Find the best frames for your face shape with a face scan (For iPhone X and above). Think of LensDirect as your dedicated vision care companion (kinda like your BFFAEAE). Shop for eyewear, contact lenses, and more—all in one place – in the palm of your hands. And yes, our prices are unbelievably low, without compromising quality or service. Here’s the deal though: We use Apple’s TrueDepth API. To use these features, users must agree to LensDirect’s terms and conditions of use. Only when using the LensDirect app does the TrueDepth feature analyze multiple data points on the user’s face. Once the analysis is done, it’s over. We do not save or store any face scan data or share it with third parties. We take privacy seriously. With our free Pupillary Distance (PD) and facial width measurement scan, when the user selects ‘Okay’ – the user is agreeing to give us access to use the camera on your face and measure facial features. Remember, we don’t store or share those results without your permission. Once the measurements are completed, the user has the choice to share those with whomever (hopefully us, so we can give you the best optical shopping experience). With our Virtual Try-On technology, when you tap ‘Okay’ – you’re agreeing to give us access to your camera and to measure your features. Once it’s done, it’s gone. We do not store or share that data with any third party. Terms & Conditions of Use: https://www.lensdirect.com/terms-and-conditions Privacy Policy: https://www.lensdirect.com/privacy-policy

Verdict
The clearest difference is device support: Optokart at 3 against LensDirect's 1. Optokart also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
