Oct. 28, 2020 — CVS Pharmacy, the retail division of CVS Health, has launched an online contact lens prescription renewal platform, powered by technology from Premium Vision currently available on the CVS Optical website. Users are then able to order contact lenses to be shipped to their home.

"We continue to adapt and evolve our digital offerings in response to the pandemic. This addition to our optical site gives customers a new way to fulfill an important health care need safely and confidently from the comfort of their homes," says Michele Driscoll, vice president of customer Engagement, ExtraCare, digital, and promotion at CVS Health. "This is especially important at a time when customers are trying to limit their interactions or are finding it difficult to schedule time with an optometrist. Digital screening takes less than 15-20 minutes, and information is reviewed by a licensed independent ophthalmologist."

The service, called QuickRenew, is currently available in 32 states. According to CVS Health, users must be 18 to 55 years old, have been fitted for contact lenses in the past, have had a full eye exam within last four years, and have healthy eye history.

The development of QuickRenew follows CVS Optical’s recently  launched website to order glasses.
