NEW YORK, April 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- 20/20NOW, the pioneer and innovator of Tele-Optometry Services and the New York based—LION Eye Group ("LION") announced its intent to move forward with 'LION Express', state-of-the art, eyewear focused, retail optometric stores. LION has selected 20/20NOW to provide tele-optometry services for their patients at LION Express locations.

20/20NOW had already entered into an agreement and has been providing tele-optometry services for LION Eye Group Optometry practices. Chuck Scott, the CEO of 20/20NOW said "It's been a pleasure working and partnering with such an innovative group like the LION management team and doctors. We look forward to expanding our partnership with them at LION Express locations soon".
