NEW YORK, May 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- LION Eye Group ("LION") and Topology, a remote opticianry and 3D virtual-try-on (VTO) software company announced the intent to move forward with LION Express for its eyewear-focused "retail optometric stores." LION is a fast-growing optometric network based in New York utilizing technology to create a more competitive, profitable, relevant, and sustainable business.

Recently, LION announced 'LION Express' as its next progression of developing a more innovative value proposition for both revenue generation and patient/customer retention for the LION Eye Group's retail concerns. Store sites are actively being scouted.

James Vena, the architect of LION and interim CEO of its retained Management Services Organization has already secured funding as well as partner vendors and service providers for the endeavor. "Topology's touchless optical solution and dispensing capabilities are key to our retail strategy. No one else is doing it yet, and we believe the eye care industry has been waiting for something just like this. While the precision scanning component allows for a better fit, we believe 'LION Express' can exploit this feature to create a fun and different kind of retail experience."
