Does the vision test examine my eye health?

Our vision test is not a replacement for a comprehensive eye health examination. You cannot take the online eye exam without a previous prescription. If you need to renew or update a contact lens prescription, a licensed ophthalmologist uses on-line technology to evaluate your visual acuity and a portion of your ocular health profile and issues a prescription for corrective eye wear, where clinically appropriate.

Our service is not a replacement for a comprehensive eye health exam. Doctors recommend that all patients between 18 and 55 years old receive a comprehensive eye health exam at least once every two years. We will encourage patient eye health by taking the following steps:

• Restricting our service to adults 22-55 that state they are asymptomatic and in good health;
• Not allowing patients to use our annual prescription services four consecutive times within a five-year period without receiving a comprehensive eye health exam. We will verify that the eye health exam was completed with the patient’s eye care professional;
• Recommending contact lens wearers get screened for contact-related eye health issues as directed by their ophthalmologist; and
• Educating patients about the importance of their eye health

If you need any help finding an eye care professional near you, please contact us.
