HOW DOES THE ONLINE CONSULTATION PROCESS WORK?
After registering, you will be asked to complete an online medical assessment to provide more information about your medical history, medical conditions, and any medications you are currently taking.
Next, one of our Eye Doctors will conduct a video, audio, or digital consultation. He or she will review the medical information you provide to determine whether a prescription is appropriate for you.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AUDIO, VIDEO, AND DIGITAL CONSULTATIONS?
All states require some interaction between a doctor and patient in order to prescribe medication. However, regulations governing the type of interaction or consultation differ from state to state. Depending on your state, you will be required to have an audio, video, or digital visit with an Eye Doctor. In all cases, the process is simple and easy to follow.
AUDIO CONSULTATIONS
If your state requires an audio consultation, you will be directed to schedule an audio visit by choosing from a list of Eye Doctors who are licensed in your state.
You will receive a email with a link to join the audio visit. At the scheduled time, click on the link directly in the email or log in to your account and click “Begin Scheduled Visit”. Once you have logged in, you will be in the waiting room until the Eye Doctor initiates the visit. The Eye Doctor will review the medical information you provided, verify important medical information, and address any specific questions you may have.
If you need to reschedule, you can do so in your account by clicking “Reschedule” to select a different date and time. If you have any questions or issues, please contact us.
Note: If your state requires an audio consultation, you must complete it for your prescription to be processed.
VIDEO CONSULTATIONS
If your state requires a video consultation, we will direct you to schedule a brief visit with one of our Eye Doctors. Our site uses secure, private, high-quality streaming video between you and our licensed Eye Doctors. After completing the checkout process, you will be directed to schedule a video visit by choosing from a list of Eye Doctors who are licensed in your state.
You will receive an email with a link to join the video visit. At the scheduled time, click on the link directly in the email or log in to your account and click “Begin Scheduled Visit”. Once you have logged in, you will be in the waiting room until the Eye Doctor initiates the visit. The Eye Doctor will review the medical information you provided, verify important medical information, and address any specific questions you may have.
If you need to reschedule, you can do so in your account by clicking “Reschedule” to select a different date and time. If you have any questions or issues, please contact us.
WHAT TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS DO I NEED TO HAVE A VIDEO CONSULTATION?
Use your PC, iPhone, Android, iPad, tablet, or another mobile device with a camera and microphone.
Note: If your state requires a video consultation, you must complete it for your prescription to be processed.
DIGITAL CONSULTATIONS
If your state requires a digital consultation, you’re able to interact with one of our online licensed Eye Doctors without an audio or video interaction. If you are in a state that allows for this type of interaction, you will be asked to answer a number of questions about your medical history online and an Eye Doctor licensed in your state will review your responses to determine whether or not a prescription is appropriate for you.
After completing checkout, you will be directed to select an Eye Doctor from the available list to review your information. Our doctors generally review your medical file within 24 hours. If necessary, they will follow up by email or phone to determine if a prescription is right for you.
