Say goodbye to waiting — the future of eyewear is here.

The Old Way: Why Vision Renewal Was a Chore

  • Appointment wait times

  • Commuting to the clinic

  • Interrupting your day

  • Limited availability after work hours

These friction points made many delay renewing, or even shop with expired prescriptions — risking poor vision and discomfort.

The Digital Shift: How Prescription Renewal Went Online

Thanks to advances in telehealth, AI‑assisted vision tests, and secure data systems:

  1. Platforms like ibis.vision allow for guided vision rechecks remotely

  2. Licensed providers review results for validation

  3. Digital prescriptions are delivered instantly

  4. Users can order glasses or contacts online immediately

This shift democratizes access, especially for busy or remote patients.

How We Do It at Todd Smith & Associates

We’ve built a seamless workflow:

  • "Start Vision Check” on our homepage

  • Pre‑eligibility screening

  • Guided test through ibis.vision interface

  • Provider review

  • Digital Rx delivery

You also get built‑in instructions, checks, and fallback guidance if the test isn’t conclusive.

Advantages: What You Gain from Digital Renewal

  • Instant access, anytime

  • Consistency in prescriptions

  • Less administrative overhead

  • Better patient retention

  • Enhanced modern brand perception

It’s not just about convenience — it’s about evolving vision care.

Challenges & Considerations

Digital renewal isn’t perfect:

  • Legal and regulatory variability across regions

  • Limitations for complex prescriptions

  • The necessity of occasional in‑person exams

  • Ensuring data privacy, security, and compliance

We build around these challenges — every test is reviewed by a human, and privacy is non-negotiable.
