A family-owned authorized contact lens distributor, New Era / e-dr. has been serving optometrists and ophthalmologists for over 100 years and professionally delivering contact lens e-commerce solutions since 1998. With competitive prices, flexible shipping, and a wealth of valuable experience in the optical market, the new distributor will offer enhanced contact lens access to users of Dr. Contact Lens for a more efficient clinical experience than ever before.

“Our new integration with New Era / e-dr. is giving doctors the tools to keep all of their contact lens business in one place," Brianna Rhue, OD, Co-founder of Dr. Contact Lens, said. "It has been an honor to work with the New Era / e-dr. team as they align with the Dr. Contact Lens brand of keeping the doctor-patient relationship front and center."

Official integration with New Era / e-dr. began on January 15th, 2022, giving eye doctors a more robust distribution package. This enables doctors to provide convenience to their patients by granting them the ability to order their contact lenses from their doctor in one click.

With the addition of their new distributor, Dr. Contact Lens hopes to provide a faster and more efficient ordering service on both the patient and eye doctor ends of the contact lens buying cycle.
