Dr. Contact Lens earns its place on the 2025 Inc5000 list, marking three years of sustained growth and industry transformation in eye care technology.

-- Dr. Contact Lens Secures National Recognition for Third Year Running

Dr. Contact Lens has officially announced its third consecutive appearance on the prestigious Inc5000 list for 2025, securing an impressive #1188 overall ranking and #125 in healthcare technology. This recognition reinforces the company's accelerating growth trajectory and category-defining presence in optometric technology. The distinction follows its dramatic entrance in 2023 at rank #41 and a solid hold at #395 in 2024, underscoring the company's consistent success in the competitive landscape.

Founded by optometrists Dr. Brianna Rhue and Dr. Jenn Tabiza, Dr. Contact Lens has been instrumental in addressing a systemic revenue leakage problem in the optical industry. Independent optometrists across the country have long been losing an average of over $500,000 per year in contact lens sales to online vendors. These losses often occur due to limited practice-based digital infrastructure and shifting consumer purchasing habits.

The company’s platform directly addresses these challenges through advanced integrations, artificial intelligence, and distributor-agnostic partnerships—all aimed at placing control and revenue back in the hands of doctors.

Seamless EHR Integration Powers Growth

At the core of Dr. Contact Lens’s technology is a one-click ordering platform that integrates directly with major electronic health record systems, including RevolutionEHR, CrystalPM, Officemate, Eyefinity, Foxfire, My Vision Express, and Management Plus. Upcoming integrations with Compulink and iCloudPro are set to further expand its reach.

The platform removes traditional barriers between exam completion and patient purchasing decisions. Practices using the system report an average 25 percent increase in contact lens sales, attributed to the elimination of manual entry, reduced staff time, and a streamlined purchasing experience for patients.

Industry Independence and Strategic Distribution

A key differentiator for Dr. Contact Lens is its neutral stance in distributor relationships. The platform is not owned by any distributor, allowing optometrists to maintain autonomy over their inventory and pricing strategies. Partnerships with all major distributors—ABB, E-Dr New Era, OOGP, and WVA—ensure comprehensive access without limiting practice choice.

Simultaneously, the company maintains direct connections with leading manufacturers. This approach reinforces the platform’s value as a facilitator for optometric growth, rather than a competing sales channel.

According to co-founder Dr. Jenn Tabiza, “We built Dr. Contact Lens to amplify what practices are already doing well. Independence and choice are at the heart of the optometry model, and our platform protects and enhances that.”

Intelligent Automation for Practice Optimization

Dr. Contact Lens’s proprietary AI tools contribute significantly to its impact. These features perform real-time data cleaning within electronic medical records, identifying lost revenue opportunities and initiating automated patient recall campaigns. The AI not only recovers untapped income but also simplifies administrative processes, creating a more agile and efficient business environment for practices.

These advancements have attracted attention not only from industry peers but also from the investment community. With a network of more than 500 doctor practices and growing, the company demonstrates a proven model for scale and sustainability.

“Our continued presence on the Inc5000 is a reflection of the real-world value we’re delivering to optometrists every day,” said Dr. Brianna Rhue. “We are solving meaningful problems with measurable outcomes, and the market is responding.”

Vision for Long-Term Impact

The inclusion of Dr. Contact Lens on the Inc5000 list for a third year speaks to more than just financial performance. It affirms the company’s vision for reshaping how contact lenses are sold, delivered, and managed across the United States.

As the healthcare landscape shifts further toward digital-first patient experiences, platforms like Dr. Contact Lens are playing a critical role in ensuring that independent providers remain competitive, efficient, and financially secure.

The founders remain focused on long-term innovation. With further product development, deeper AI integration, and expanded distributor partnerships on the horizon, Dr. Contact Lens continues to position itself as a critical infrastructure partner to optometry practices across the country.

“Our goal has always been simple,” said Dr. Rhue. “We want to empower doctors to succeed on their own terms, using technology that aligns with how they practice and serve.”
