Why SpecCheck, You Ask?
The SpecCheck story starts with Joe DeMaria, a seasoned optical industry expert who realized that the optical world was stuck in a time warp.

Together, they saw the vision (pun intended) of revolutionizing the optical industry.

The Problem: A Blurry Mess
Imagine a world where it takes a small army of eye doctors, opticians, technicians, and an optical lab to deliver a single pair of prescription eyeglasses. Now, imagine that this army is armed with technology straight out of the 1990sโfragmented, outdated, and limited in functionality. The result? Delays, costly errors, and the need for expensive remakes. Did you know that one out of every ten pairs of glasses needs to be redone before they're ready for pickup? Not exactly a vision of efficiency.
The Solution: SpecCheck to the Rescue
