This is very cool. Is there a way that I can upload my prescription to you guys and you can remind me when I need to renew it and order contacts?

@joshdance We're building that functionality into the app right now ;) If you have a valid Rx we waive your $10 fee and send you reminders. Just send a note to support@simplecontacts.com with the Rx and we'll take care of it for you.

TWiStartups- This Week in Startups (Matt Epstein, Zenefits VP Marketing)

I've heard that Ophthalmologists and Optometrists do not like each other and that you are working with Ophthalmologists only. Is there a contentious relationship with the Optometry community?

@jefielding We only employ Ophthalmologists even though we'd love to work with Optometrists. While the Ophthalmology community strongly supports our technology and has helped us expand our offering, the leaders of the Optometry community have fought new technology. They think that in preventing progress, they'll protect their bottom lines by stopping patients from buying their lenses elsewhere. So, while many well meaning Optometrists would love to work with us, their license and relationships within the community are being threatened.

Almost a year ago I met Joel at a friend's birthday drinks in NYC. I was months late for my yearly eye exam and wearing my contacts many times as long as I should. With my work and travel schedule, I could never make the time for a doctor's visit, which anyway seemed pointless since my prescription hardly changes. Joel pulled me out of the bar, administered the eye exam right there on Christopher St, and I had a new prescription and box of lenses within days. Driverless cars, reusable rockets, and A.I. are the kind of technological advancements that grab headlines, but companies like Simple Contacts are the ones that really excite me: ones that address the unsexy, day-to-day inconveniences that we've forgotten to even question. If you wear contacts, have had an in-person eye exam within the last five years, and live in California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Washington, Colorado, or Rhode Island: save $$$ and time by trying out Simple Contacts

Super smart. There are a series of mobile-focused startups removing friction from old industries. Here are a couple that come to mind: 🇺🇸 Scan your ID in 30 seconds with Register to Vote to (you guessed it) register to vote. ✈️ Notify AirHelp when your flight's delayed to avoid calling the airline. 🚨 Take a pic of your parking ticket and Fixed will do the work to reduce your bill (RIP, no longer around).

Love this team and their product. Happy customer of Simple Contacts. If you wear contacts and haven't tried them, you're just giving away precious time (and expense) to your optometrist. Product is so simple to use, and accurate.

Hey guys - I'm Joel and I'm one of the Simple Contacts founders. We're really excited to be on Product Hunt today! Those of you who don't wear contact lenses may not know that, in the United States, you need a valid prescription to buy contacts. Those prescriptions usually expire yearly, but many people's prescriptions don't change year to year. We built out a test on the iPhone (web coming soon) that allows people to renew their contact lens prescriptions from home (or really anywhere). We aren't changing prescriptions, simply confirming that your current prescription is accurate. Right now you have to buy lenses to pay for the test in the app, but if you email us for just the prescription we can do that manually on our end as well. Telemedicine is changing how people interact with our healthcare system and there are tons of interesting challenges faced by companies in this space, from a regulatory, operational, and technological stand point. We're excited to be featured here today and look forward to your feedback and thoughts on the telemedicine industry. We love Product Hunt, so if you install with this link http://go.simplecontacts.com/pro... you'll get $25 off your first purchase 😃

Used this to get a year's worth of contacts a few months ago! I actually had an optometrist appointment scheduled and cancelled it, saved a ton of time and hassle and got my contacts within a week! Awesome product and awesome team!

@fletchrichman We made the service for exactly that reason - save time and $! We can help you get a VIP treatment at Ophthalmologist when you are ready for a health checkup too. Just ask!
