A single Lentes Pro purchase unlocks unlimited records, family profiles and transfers, saved places, insights, and removes sponsored app previews. No subscription. The price is shown by the App Store for your country or region. Prescription recognition and core records are processed on your device. No Lentes account is required. Lentes stores and presents information you enter. It does not interpret results, diagnose conditions, prescribe lenses, or replace an eye care professional. Always confirm scanned values and follow the replacement and care instructions from your eye care professional and lens manufacturer.
