From Waiting Rooms to Web Rooms: The Rise of Digital Prescription Renewal
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:
Platforms like ibis.vision allow for guided vision rechecks remotely
Licensed providers review results for validation
Digital prescriptions are delivered instantly
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.
