If you’ve been wondering whether you need glasses or perhaps may require a new prescription, you can now take a professional-quality exam online and receive a prescription, all for $40. Opternative is a new service that takes a patient through a series of visual tests and hands those over to an ophthalmologist to review, along with other medical history.
The patient is at one point required to stand at a distance from the computer monitor, so a smartphone app is used to record answers to multiple-choice options for convenience.
The test is currently only available in 27 states and is intended for patients between the ages of 18 and 40.
Here’s an introductory video to the Opternative refractive eye exam:
