  • Send Your Eyeglasses & Medical Prescriptions to the Cloud

    Where is your eyeglasses prescription? What would you do if your eyeglasses were lost or broken on vacation? Or, if you forgot your medication or someone asked you to prove you had a prescription for it, could you? We have the answer– send all that paper to the cloud.

    We send copies of our prescriptions, both eyeglasses and medical, to the cloud. You can send scans of them to Google Drive, iCloud, or Dropbox.

    That way forgetting, breaking, or losing your glasses doesn't have to ruin a vacation or hinder you on a business trip. And, if you need to know exactly what medication you take with dose and exact spelling, you have it a click away.

    And, at home, if you stop into your favorite shop and find some really great frames, you have your latest prescription on hand to have the perfect lenses made to order.
