“Since we cannot change reality, let us change the eyes which see reality”−Nikos Kazantzakis
Eyesight is one of our most essential senses; approximately eighty percent of what we see comes through our sense of sight. A company, which is helping the world see better with its digital eye care technologies, is Visibly. Founded in 2012 and based out of the scenic city of Chicago, Visibly is the healthcare technology company whose online vision test allows patients to renew their prescription anywhere, anytime.
Since its inception, the company has issued over hundreds of thousands of prescriptions with a 99.6% satisfaction rate. Visibly also offers eye care providers, eyewear retailers, and other organizations customizable software solutions to enable better patient and consumer experiences.
Visibly’s vision is to create a world where eye care is available to anyone, anywhere, anytime. It’s mission to develop digital technologies that increase access and choice while partnering with doctors and retailers to create awesome patient experiences.
Visibly was instituted by Dr. Steven Lee, who first came up with the concept of an online vision test while practicing optometry. He had a patient who frequently missed eye appointments and when she finally made it into the office asked him, “Why can’t we just do this at home?”That was his illuminating moment.
Dr. Lee is now the company’s Chief Science Officer (CSO) and provides guidance across many departments including product, sales, marketing, and many others. Another visionary leader that has led the company towards success with Dr. Lee is Brent Rasmussen, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
