Abstract

Disclosed herein are systems and techniques for evaluating prescribed optical devices during use. A method can include matching a user profile with a prescribed optical device, matching the prescribed optical device with a plurality of members of a distribution system of the prescribed optical device, requesting information about the prescribed optical device through a user interface, receiving information in response to requesting the information, and sending feedback based on the received information to one of the members of the distribution system. One or more network devices can generate a user interface including information associated with the prescribed optical device and the user profile. The user interface can be adapted based on a primary or secondary user of the network device. The user interface can also be adapted as the user progresses in age, treatment schedule, and/or other factors that support evaluation of the prescribed optical device.
