Zenni Optical has partnered with vision technology company Eyebot to launch state-of-the-art vision testing kiosks across New England, aiming to make vision care more accessible and affordable. These kiosks provide rapid, 90-second vision assessments and deliver prescriptions within minutes, allowing users to purchase Zenni’s affordable eyewear on-site.

Initially available in Boston-area malls, two Eyebot kiosks are operational, with plans to expand to a total of ten units across New England by 2025. Known as the Eyebot S1, each kiosk offers convenient, low-cost testing and access to Zenni’s prescription glasses with their personal design and colors.

The Eyebot kiosks feature advanced technology that makes quick, accurate assessments accessible to those unable to see an eye doctor in person. The kiosks also support eye care professionals by identifying patients with complex needs and referring them to in-person care. As a result, the partnership with Zenni offers both affordable eyewear options and a new level of accessibility in vision care, bridging critical gaps for patients and providers alike.

Today, many families and individuals may find eyewear costs prohibitive. These new vision testing kiosks make eyecare more inclusive and attainable for all, so it’s easy to get a new prescription and new glasses in a few minutes.

“Our mission is to simplify and lower the barriers to vision care for everyone,” said Matthias Hofmann, PhD, Founder and CEO of Eyebot, in an article on their company website. Customers can enjoy the benefits of easy vision care without breaking the bank.

This Zenni-Eyebot partnership is a groundbreaking step to better access to vision care and the capabilities of kiosks. The low cost and convenience helps boost users’ understanding of their eye health while also offering stylish, budget-friendly eyewear, bridging the accessibility gap in eye care.
