Our Process
Blink is as easy as, well, blinking.
Our process is a simplified way of getting your vision tested for glasses.
step 1
Book an appointment.
Pick when and where, we'll come to you. Even nights and weekends.
Step 2
Take the 20-min test.
A friendly visioneer will come screen your vision and oversee the testing. They will help test your visual acuity, refractive error, and measure your pupillary distance (PD). If the screening indicates that new glasses make sense, they will send the report securely to a licensed optometrist for review.
Your personal information will be kept secure and private, in compliance with HIPAA.
Step 3
Get your prescription from our optometrist.
Your vision profile and results will be carefully reviewed and you will receive a prescription by email from one of our experienced optometrists within 24 hours.
If you have a complication, they will refer you to a local optometrist for an in-person comprehensive eye exam.
Step 4
Buy glasses anywhere.
With your new prescription and measurements, you can buy glasses anywhere, either online or in an optical shop.

our Visioneers
Visioneers are our eyes in the world.
We select the best and brightest to oversee your vision test, ensuring each test is as delightful as it is accurate.
our Technology
Honey, we shrunk the optometrist's office.
Spun out of MIT Media Lab and powered by a smartphone,
our innovative tools represent a revolutionary leap in accessibility to vision care.
The Smartphone
The eyes and brains at the center of Blink. Clicks into the Netra and Netrometer to lend its camera, computer and network connection.
The Netrometer
Don't know the prescription of your existing glasses? Use this.
Replaces traditional Lensometers: also big, require constant electricity, difficult to use, and don't work on scratched lenses.
The Netra
Our secret weapon. The Netra measures the optical power of your eyes through an interactive test.
Replaces bulky that cost over $10,000 and require constant electricity.
The Netropter
Once we have a good idea of your prescription strength, we dial it into the Netropter to see how it feels to you.
Replaces the Phoropter: $5,000 and immobile.
