Killakwinn··on Launch HN: Quadrant Eye (YC W21) – Tackling online eye exams and at-home eyecare
The rules around this vary state by state. In states like CA, it's unfortunately illegal to sell glasses/contacts to someone with an expired prescription.

More info on buying glasses/contacts: https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/buying-prescription-gl...

Appreciate the support :)

There really is a lot that we can do to improve how people get eyecare and eyewear. I did want to point out that there's an entire other side of the eyecare industry -- eye health -- that gets overshadowed by the eyewear/optical aspect of eyecare. Obviously all sides of the eyecare industry need fixing, but I do I think part of the puzzle is bringing the eye health portion more front and center. (But ultimately there's no argument that things are broken.)

Sorry about this, we're looking into it. It's optimized for desktop/laptop viewing, so it's strange that you're having desktop issues.

Yes, we are in fact live and have been renewing prescriptions! The beta signup link is for our full software + hardware exam, which is currently still in the works.

Hi! This is the perfect use case and one that we keep hearing over and over again from friends/ family/ colleagues/ acquaintances. Really looking forward to helping you out! :)

Ok so that’s why I couldn’t buy the domain

Really interesting that we're able to make these long-term projections based on 6 months of extremely heterogenous data. Regardless, I don't think anyone would argue that the downstream effects of Covid (both known and unknown) will impact long-term health.

I really enjoyed the aesthetics on some of these. Thanks for sharing -- this seriously puts my $19 Amazon Logitech keyboard to shame.
Killakwinn··on Launch HN: InpharmD (YC W21) – curated drug information for doctors
Wow! This is exactly the type of service that academic institutions could benefit from.

When I was a medical student and resident on rounds, it was really stressful trying to do literature searches on pubmed and up-to-date (esp while taking care of active patient problems!) I often didn't have the time or bandwidth to comb through the papers/lists of care guidelines, and the abstracts often didn't give the clear story (or the relevant numbers!)

If I had had access to InpharmD, I could've 1) looked like a rockstar to my team, and 2) actually learned and understood the info I needed. :)
