  • Optometry clinics and eyewear stores can improve customer satisfaction by ensuring accurate prescriptions.


Original Abstract Submitted

A system can perform a method to identify when one or more lenses are the wrong prescription for the user. In some embodiments, the system notifies the user to switch prescription lenses or initiates an enrollment process for the lenses. In some embodiments, the system can identify the prescription of a lens and compare the identified prescription to one or more enrolled prescriptions for the user (e.g., previously defined in user settings associated with user profile). When the identified prescription of the lens does not match an expected enrolled prescription for the user), the system can notify the user to switch prescription lenses. When there are no enrolled prescriptions for the user, the device can prompt the user to enroll the lens.
