Launch Your Own White-label eCommerce Platform for Optometrists
The optometry industry is evolving beyond basic vision exams and eyewear prescriptions into a comprehensive eye health ecosystem. With over 40,000 optometrists in the US and increasing consumer awareness of eye health products, there’s a significant opportunity to help practitioners create additional revenue streams through specialized eye care product sales. A white-label, multi-tenant eCommerce platform can empower optometrists to offer prescription eyewear, contact lenses, eye health supplements, and care accessories to their patients while maintaining their role as primary vision care providers.
