Abstract

A computerized online lens ordering system is provided. A patient portal allows a user to enter identifying information and/or healthcare plan information and a purchase selection for eyeglasses and/or contact lenses. A vision plan eligibility module submits claims to an insurer based upon the healthcare plan information, determines an amount due by the patient, if any, based upon the purchase selection, receives any payment due and authorizes an order. An fulfillment module, for eyeglasses, obtains the patient's prescription and frame biometric measurements, produces a lens fabrication pattern for the lenses, automatically orders the selected frame and fabrication of the lenses based upon the fabrication pattern, and delivers a fabricated pair either directly to the patient or to an eye care professional business. For contact lenses, the fulfillment module automatically orders delivery of the contact lenses either directly to the patient or to an eye care professional business.
