PerfectLensWorld is launching i-Optex as an innovative, highly accessible online vision prescription service that offers safe, reliable online vision tests and the ability for people to renew their vision prescriptions with ease from a computer, a smartphone or another handheld mobile device.
After sharing a 15-minute test provided by a licensed ophthalmologist in one's area, i-Optex provides prescriptions for adults between the ages of 18 and 50 within a specific vision prescription range. i-Optex costs significantly less per prescription, per user and less than half the cost of most office visits.
As PerfectLensWorld only provides lenses with negative powers, people with certain vision requirements—toric or plus-power lenses—will be able to get their vision prescription through i-Optex but must purchase the lenses they need through a different provider.
