General
RX Renewal is currently available in the following states: CA, IA, MA, MN, NY, PA and WI. Our service and standards of practice are consistent with all applicable regulations in both state and federal laws. If you don’t live in the states mentioned, we suggest you make an in-store appointment.
The actual vision test needs to be done on a smartphone. However, the eligibility check and results submission can also be done on a desktop.
About the vision test
It’s a real vision test and your results are reviewed by a Licensed Optometrist in your state. If appropriate, they’ll issue you a valid prescription you can use to buy contact lenses anywhere in the United States. However, it does not take the place of a regular comprehensive vision test.
There are certain age, location, and vision health requirements that need to be met before taking the vision test. In order to be eligible, you must:
-Reside in one of the activated states in the US: CA, IA, MA, MN, NY, PA and WI.
-Be aged between 18 and 50
-Have no health conditions that may affect your vision

When your prescription has expired or when it’s about to expire. Of course, the tool can also be used in any other moment you want to renew your eye prescription online, as long as you’re still eligible.
You will need a smartphone, mirror, tape measure, ID card or something similar (only required for Android devices), wearing your current contact lenses or eyeglasses, and 5 feet of space.
Ensure you’re in a well-lit, quiet space and there should be a mirror available with at least 5 feet of space in front of it.

To renew your eye prescription online, you need to wear your current contact lenses/glasses (depending on the prescription you want to renew) as you’ll be asked to read some letters on a digital eye chart. If you are out of contacts or wish to renew a prescription for which you don’t have contacts or glasses available, we recommend you visit a local eye care provider. You can use the Doctor Locator tool on our website to find one close to you.
