Warby Parker stated, "Virtual Vision Test by Warby Parker is an update (a big update!) to our telehealth prescription renewal app, previously called Prescription Check. The company also developed a short video illustrating how it works. The Virtual Vision Test is described to patients on the Warby Parker site here. We’re thrilled to introduce this update and provide an even more simple and convenient way for our customers to renew their prescriptions using only an iPhone." Now, we’re expanding this service to include contact lens prescriptions with our new Virtual Vision Test app. The app was the first of its kind and allowed eligible users to take a vision test from home and receive a renewed prescription once results were reviewed by a doctor. Gilboa also noted, "We first launched our Prescription Check app in 2017 as part of our mission to make vision care more accessible and affordable to all. While the app is not a comprehensive eye exam and is meant to complement regular visits to an eyecare professional, Virtual Vision Test was a natural progression of our existing services and our mission to make access to holistic vision care more accessible, affordable, and convenient." Over the past several years–and especially the past year and a half–we’ve seen a definite increase in demand for telehealth.

The test in the app is a new iteration of the Prescription Check app that Warby introduced in 2017. The test, which will cost $15, launches to the public today. It is a one-stop solution for renewing an eyeglass or contact lens Rx using only an iPhone from anywhere, anytime. NEW YORK- Warby Parker today is significantly expanding its telehealth services by introducing Virtual Vision Test, a new and updated app that allows users to update both eyeglass and contact lens prescriptions.
