About the Episode

Marc Aflalo sits down with Matthias Hofmann, CEO and co-founder of EyeBot, to explore how their groundbreaking self-service kiosks are transforming vision care. Designed to democratize access to prescriptions, EyeBot kiosks allow users to get an accurate eyeglass prescription in just 90 seconds, all for the cost of a $20 copay.

Matthias shares insights into the company’s partnerships with major retailers like Zenni Optical and their plans to scale globally to address the lack of vision care infrastructure worldwide.

This episode sheds light on a revolutionary approach to eye care that could make prescriptions and glasses accessible to millions.
