About our online vision checker

The goal of this assessment is to test visual acuity by using your phone and computer screen. Please note this is does not replace a visit to your eye doctor. An annual eye exam can detect over 270 diseases, so please be sure to make the trip.

While we can't give out or renew a contact lens prescription, we can let you know how your eyes are measuring up. Your eye doctor will be best equipped to address your specific needs and provide the appropriate guidance regarding contact lenses. If you don't have an eye doctor, use our find-a-doctor tool at the end of the test.

I want contact lenses – can I get them by taking this test?

No – this is meant to be a fun test to see how your vision is measuring up. Your eye doctor would be the one to perform a contact lens exam and prescribe you with the proper vision correction needed.

Can I renew my prescription for contact lenses here?

No – this is meant to be a fun test to see how your vision is measuring up. Your eye doctor would be the one to ensure that you have the right prescription, fit and best contact lens for your eyes before renewing your prescription.
