We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Contact Lens has been ranked No. 41 on the 2023 Inc. 5000 list, Inc. magazine’s annual ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. This incredible achievement places us among the top 1% of the nation’s most dynamic and innovative businesses.
What the Inc. 5000 Means
The Inc. 5000 list is the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in the United States. Companies are ranked according to their percentage revenue growth over a three-year period, and making the list is a testament to a company’s ability to innovate, adapt, and deliver exceptional value to its customers.
Landing at No. 41 means Dr. Contact Lens has experienced extraordinary revenue growth, outpacing thousands of other ambitious companies across every industry. This ranking reflects not just our financial performance, but the trust that thousands of eyecare practices have placed in our platform.
How We Got Here
When co-founders Dr. Brianna Rhue and Dr. Jennifer Tabiza launched Dr. Contact Lens, the vision was simple: make it easier for patients to order contact lenses directly from their eye doctor. What started as a solution to a problem they experienced firsthand in their own practices has grown into a platform trusted by thousands of eyecare professionals nationwide.
Our growth has been fueled by a relentless focus on three core principles:
- Putting doctors first: Every feature we build is designed to strengthen the doctor-patient relationship and keep revenue within the practice.
- Simplifying the ordering process: Our platform makes it effortless for patients to reorder contact lenses through their doctor, 24/7.
- Delivering measurable results: Practices using Dr. Contact Lens consistently report increased capture rates, higher revenue, and significant time savings for staff.
By the Numbers
Our Inc. 5000 ranking is backed by some impressive milestones that demonstrate the real-world impact of our platform:
- 200M+ contact lenses sold through our platform
- 4M+ digital prescriptions sent to patients
- 90,000+ hours of staff time saved for eyecare practices
- 700,000+ orders placed by patients through their doctors
These numbers represent more than business metrics. They represent doctors who have recaptured revenue that was previously lost to online retailers, staff members who can focus on patient care instead of manual ordering processes, and patients who enjoy the convenience of ordering from a doctor they trust.
What This Means for Our Partners
This achievement belongs to every practice that has partnered with us. Our growth is a direct reflection of the success our partners experience when they implement Dr. Contact Lens. When practices thrive, we thrive.
We remain committed to building the best contact lens ordering platform in the industry. We will continue investing in new features, expanding our integrations with leading EHR systems and distributors, and providing the exceptional support that our partners expect.
Looking Ahead
Making the Inc. 5000 at No. 41 is a milestone we are incredibly proud of, but we are just getting started. The contact lens market continues to grow, and the shift toward digital ordering is accelerating. Practices that embrace technology-driven solutions are the ones that will thrive in the years ahead.
If you are an eyecare professional looking to increase your contact lens capture rate, save staff time, and provide a better experience for your patients, we would love to show you what Dr. Contact Lens can do for your practice.
We built Dr. Contact Lens because we believed there had to be a better way for patients to get their contact lenses from their doctor. Seeing our company ranked No. 41 on the Inc. 5000 confirms that thousands of practices agree. -- Dr. Jennifer Tabiza, Co-founder
