Total game changer. My prescription expired 6 months ago and I just ran out of contacts. There's no way I'll find time to head to the optometrist this week and I just managed to order new lenses in a few minutes and paid with my fingerprint. I LOVE TECHNOLOGY. Thanks Joel for an awesome and necessary founder-time-saving product.
Used this to get a year's worth of contacts a few months ago! I actually had an optometrist appointment scheduled and cancelled it, saved a ton of time and hassle and got my contacts within a week! Awesome product and awesome team!
@fletchrichman We made the service for exactly that reason - save time and $! We can help you get a VIP treatment at Ophthalmologist when you are ready for a health checkup too. Just ask!

Big fan of the amazing team behind this and have been a repeat user already. Well done and congrats on the launch @joelwish@ryanquigley
how can i get notified when the android app is out? i am European living in nyc and that has been always a pain. What happens to the ones that might have lost their prescription or it's too old?
@pfanis Want to email us team@simplecontacts.com and we'll add you to the Android announcement list. Also we'll be launching a web product that may be helpful before the end of the year. We made the app especially for people who need a valid Rx but whose eyes haven't changed - so if that is you, welcome to the family!
How is the cost different through your service than if I was to buy from my doctor? I love that you are making it easier, but am just curious about cost as well.
@goforwes Thanks for your question Wesley. The typical Optometrist exam costs $150 and lenses are generally marked up about 25%. Our test costs $10 and the average person saves about $85 on lenses in a year.
@w_zhou if you sign up for our newsletter on the website we'll hpdate you when they launch. We very rarely send emails to that list beyond new product launches
This is everything! Personally compelling because I experienced the exact pain point this tries to solve. 2 weeks ago I was forced to go to the eye doctor, (taking time off of work to do so) because my prescription had expired, and I was out of contacts. I did the routine eye exam as prescribed, and like many others, my eye prescription hadn't changed from last year. The concept of this is wonderful. Many Congrats.
@elegantunivers9 This warms my heart. Seriously, it feels amazing to hear from people that they experience the same problem as I did and that this thing we built solves their problem ;)

Great job guys. This looks fantastic! Will Texas be added to the list of approved states soon?
@nickstravelbug We are very close to being able to launch Texas ;) It could be any day. Follow us on Facebook, that's where we announce new state launches
