Lensabl, the leading direct-to-consumer eyeglass lens replacement and contact lens provider, today announced the launch of Lensabl+, the first digitally native vision benefits platform.
Lensabl+ is challenging the antiquated way of getting vision insurance by offering personalized benefit plans for those without an employer-sponsored option. These plans, which are sold direct-to-consumer and fully redeemable online, can be customized specifically to each individual's vision care needs so they receive comprehensive coverage without paying for items they may not need.
"We are excited to be able to further our impact within the vision care space by not only offering DTC eyeglass lens replacements, glasses, and contact lenses but now by expanding benefit and membership options for prescription lens wearers," said Andy Bilinsky, co-founder and CEO of Lensabl.
As of March 2020, approximately 130 million people have some type of vision insurance or managed vision care coverage. Yet redeeming benefits and understanding coverage limits is confusing, expensive, and inconvenient. Much like the dental industry, the vision benefits space is adapting new technologies and expanding options for consumers, with Lensabl+ as a leading example.
"In building Lensabl, we realized just how complicated and expensive vision benefit plans can be for the consumer. We created Lensabl+ to optimize the benefit redemption experience, offer coverage that is personalized and comprehensive, and save a great deal of money each year," said Bilinsky.
Later this year, Lensabl+ will launch innovative plans for employers to offer to their employees as a group benefit as well.
Lensabl has raised an additional $5M from investors, both institutional and strategic, over the past year to support this new effort.

US President Donald Trump wants to banish the word “artificial” from artificial intelligence, saying it makes one of the world’s most consequential technologies sound “fake”. Across the Pacific, however, China’s name for the technology has long carried a different connotation – one that places humans, rather than artificiality, at its centre. Trump last week signed an executive order directing US federal agencies to replace “artificial intelligence”, or AI, with “Super Intelligence”, or SI, in...

Roziah Jelali has a tip or two on catching a turtle poacher: carrying a pair of binoculars and having patience in spades are key to doing the job well. The 36-year-old Malaysian volunteer ranger once spent three months in Sabah tracking a man whom she suspected of illegally capturing protected turtles. Once thriving off the azure seas of Omadal Island in the Malaysian state, many turtles had been hunted down, killed and sold for their meat, according to conservation experts. Recounting the 2023...
The denuclearisation of North Korea has become an “increasingly improbable” goal and the United States and its allies should move beyond it to devote their diplomatic efforts to talks on arms limitations and crisis communication, the director of the US-based North Korean analysis website 38 North said. Recalling the 20 years since North Korea carried out its first nuclear test on October 9, 2006, Jenny Town said in a written interview that “a pivotal moment” in Pyongyang’s weapons development...

Japanese semiconductor materials giant Sumitomo Bakelite plans to expand production of advanced chip packaging materials in China and Singapore, marking the second such announcement for its Chinese operations in less than four months as artificial intelligence drives demand for more sophisticated semiconductors.

A Thai government proposal to charge export duties on durians, a major cash crop, could raise prices for the fruit in China – its primary market – along with the quality, analysts said. Thailand’s draft bill to establish a fund for research and “sustainable” development of the durian sector would include the collection of fees, the government’s public relations department said last month. Southeast Asian media outlets and agricultural publications have tipped the export duty to be as high as 2...
