BOSTON — Eyebot, a leader in automated vision testing technology, has announced a strategic partnership with Zenni Optical, a leading online eyewear retailer. This collaboration aims to improve the accessibility of vision care services through the initial deployment of 10 state-of-the-art Eyebot S1 kiosks, which provide rapid vision tests in just 90 seconds.
The Eyebot S1 kiosk is designed to address the pressing need for more accessible eye care in the United States, where many people face barriers to obtaining in-person vision tests due to a limited appointment availability. With over 30 million Americans living with uncorrected vision problems, Eyebot’s technology offers a convenient way for people to get the prescription and glasses they need.
“Our mission is to simplify and lower the barriers to vision care for everyone,” said Eyebot founder and chief executive officer Matthias Hofmann. “By partnering with Zenni, we are not only providing quick and efficient vision tests but also ensuring that people can buy affordable eyewear immediately after their test. This partnership is a significant step toward making vision care more accessible to everyone, especially in underserved communities.”
“Zenni Optical is proud to collaborate with Eyebot, marking a significant step in our mission to make quality eyewear accessible and affordable for everyone,” said Veronica Alcaro, vice president of brand at Zenni. “By integrating Eyebot’s advanced technology, this partnership enables us to offer our customers easy access to vision tests and an array of stylish, budget-friendly eyewear, all in one convenient place.”
In other company news, the first kiosks just opened in malls in the Boston area, with additional locations set to roll out over the coming months.
