Revolutionizing Eyewear: GlassesUSA's New App Scans Prescriptions with Your Smartphone
GlassesUSA Introduces Innovative Prescription Scanner App
In a move that could revolutionize the way consumers purchase eyewear, GlassesUSA has launched a free Prescription Scanner App, allowing users to determine their current glasses prescription without visiting an eye doctor. This development comes as a relief to many who struggle with lost or forgotten prescriptions.
The app, which can be used with a smartphone and computer, promises to streamline the process of ordering new glasses online. Users can scan their current glasses and receive an accurate prescription reading in about 15 minutes. However, GlassesUSA emphasizes that the app is not a substitute for regular eye exams and encourages routine visits to eye care professionals.
To use the Prescription Scanner, customers need their smartphone, computer, current glasses, and a credit card for calibration purposes. The app guides users through a series of steps, including connecting devices, calibrating screen size, and scanning their current glasses. Voice prompts within the app assist in the process.
It’s worth noting that the app has limitations. It only works for single vision prescriptions between -6.00 and +3.00, with a cylinder measurement lower than -2.50. Additionally, users can measure their pupillary distance (PD) using a credit card and a selfie.
Early testing of the app has shown promising results, with prescriptions matching those provided by eye doctors. This accuracy, combined with GlassesUSA’s wide selection of frames and quick shipping times, positions the company as a strong contender in the online eyewear market.
For those who frequently misplace their prescriptions or need a quick update, the GlassesUSA Prescription Scanner App offers a convenient solution. As the eyewear industry continues to evolve, innovations like this app may shape the future of how consumers purchase glasses online.
