Visibly

FDA-cleared at-home visual acuity testing platform

Overview

Visibly provides an FDA-cleared online visual acuity test for renewing glasses and contact lens prescriptions via computer or mobile device. Users take a roughly six-minute at-home test, results are reviewed by a licensed doctor in the user’s state, and a new prescription is typically issued within 24 hours. It serves both consumers (B2C) and eye care professionals/optical retailers (B2B) with a white-label version available for providers to integrate the test into their own services. Its goals are to make at-home eye care more accessible while helping providers expand offerings and increase eyewear sales, supported by FDA clearance in 2022 and strategic acquisitions of Lensabl and EyecareLive to extend retail and telehealth capabilities.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Visibly.com says providers renew prescriptions within 24 hours, supporting repeat usage.
  • Visibly already embeds its platform with employers, insurers, retailers, and telehealth partners.
  • The Easee acquisition gives Visibly stronger European credentials and cross-border expansion leverage.

What critics are saying

  • South Carolina Supreme Court upheld the state ban on online eye exams on January 21, 2026.
  • FDA clearance stays limited to adults 22-40 for prescription renewals, shrinking the addressable market.
  • Any adverse court ruling or FDA action kills Visibly's core prescription-renewal business and employer channel.

What makes Visibly unique

  • Visibly holds the first FDA-cleared at-home visual acuity test, cleared August 2022.
  • Its 2024 EyecareLive merger added video visits and remote comprehensive eye exams.
  • The September 2025 Easee acquisition extends regulated digital refraction across U.S. and Europe.
