Leading Eyecare Retailer Now Offering Buy Now, Pay Later Technology at My Eyelab and Stanton Optical Locations

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., April 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Now Optics, the parent company of eye care retail brands My Eyelab and Stanton Optical, announced today their partnership with Sunbit, the preferred buy now, pay later technology (BNPL) of service providers and retailers, is now in full effect with availability at all Now Optics' stores nationwide. The partnership, which was announced last fall, integrates Sunbit's BNPL technology into all My Eyelab and Stanton Optical retail locations to provide customers with flexible payment options, making Now Optics' mission to make affordable, accessible and efficient eye care even easier.

Sunbit's BNPL solution approves 90% of people who apply and provides them with a three-months, no-interest financing option. To ensure flexibility and accessibility for all, six-month and 12-month BNPL options with interest are also available. Sunbit's BNPL technology gives customers more purchasing power, introducing a smart way to pay over time for what they need.

"We're always thinking about new and innovative ways we can deliver simple, affordable eye care at My Eyelab and Stanton Optical, and our latest partnership with Sunbit takes that commitment a step further," said Daniel Stanton, CEO of Now Optics. "Eye care is a right, not a privilege, so we feel obligated to provide as much flexibility as possible with payment options for each and every person that comes to our stores. Clear vision is a vital part of healthy eyes and something we want to ensure everyone can afford regardless of their budget or current situation," said Stanton.

Sunbit's technology is offered in-store and online through nearly 11,000 locations. These include:

Auto service centers
Optical practices
Dentist offices
Specialty healthcare services

Partnering with a BNPL option like Sunbit, which is easy to use and transparent to the customers, allows patients to obtain everything necessary to take care of their eye health

The rollout of Sunbit's BNPL technology in Now Optics' stores marks yet another technological milestone for the company, following their early adoption of optical telehealth. To date, the company has conducted more than 2 million telehealth eye exams, something no other optical retailer can offer.

Both My Eyelab and Stanton Optical feature an assortment of over 2,000 frames and top contact lens brands to fit both style and budgets and allows consumers the ultimate freedom to experiment with unique, stylish designs that fit their personal style. For convenience, My Eyelab and Stanton Optical accept both same day appointments and walk-ins for eye exams, starting at $45, which can be applied to any eye wear purchase.
