Michigan is being left behind. 42 other states allow online vision tests
Online Vision Test would:
- Allow Michigan patients to renew their contact lens prescription by a physician licensed in Michigan.
- Give Michigan patients prescription portability to have their prescription filled by the retailer of their choice.
- Give Michiganders the same healthcare options as allowed in 40+ states, which have been shown to lower costs and increase access to care.
- Allow both Optometrists and Ophthalmologists the ability to renew a prescription via an online platform.
Physicians are required to maintain the standard of care and use their independent medical judgment to determine if these tools are a good fit for each patient
Patients in Michigan would be required to go back every two years for an in-person exam.
About Us
Americans for Vision Care Innovation has come together to help ensure that America’s glasses and contact lens wearers have access to these safe and effective online vision care services. Our goal is to encourage more states to adopt pro-consumer legislation that promotes access for these services and to end bans on such services where they exist.
