Eyebot and The Framery at 1-800 Contacts Announce Partnership in Greater Salt Lake City area, Delivering Doctor-Reviewed Glasses Prescriptions in Minutes

SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun 3, 2026--

Eyebot and The Framery at 1-800 Contacts today announced a new partnership kicking off in The Framery’s hometown of Salt Lake City, Utah. Beginning June 3, Eyebot Kiosks will be open at Layton Hills Mall in Layton, Utah and Valley Fair Mall in West Valley City, Utah, giving visitors a convenient way to complete a vision test, receive a doctor-reviewed glasses prescription, and shop for eyewear from The Framery.

Eyebot was built to make routine prescription updates easier. The vision test, which always includes an assistant onsite for guidance, uses advanced refraction, lensometry, and visual acuity technology to collect the measurements needed for a glasses prescription in 15 minutes or less. It is not a replacement for comprehensive eye exams, but a more convenient way to stay up to date with your glasses prescription.

“I firmly believe that getting a new vision prescription and glasses should be as simple as buying a new pair of shoes, said Matthias Hofmann, co-founder and CEO of Eyebot. “Our partnership with The Framery emphasizes our mutual commitment to making access to vision care affordable and convenient. Providing this access to vision care to the greater Salt Lake City area marks a new stepping stone for us as we continue our mission towards making vision care accessible to everyone, equally at the touch of a button.”

How It Works

A user walks up to the kiosk and uses Eyebot to complete a short intake and a series of tests. The system collects key measurements and securely sends the data to a licensed eye doctor for review. From there, the prescription is reviewed and written by the doctor and delivered shortly after, when eligible. There is always an assistant accompanying the kiosk to help users through the test if needed.

Each kiosk features a curated collection of frames for customers to try on in person, paired with The Framery's full catalog online of hundreds of styles starting at $79 with premium prescription lenses included.

Every Framery order includes free prescription lenses with scratch-resistant coating, anti-glare treatment, and 100% UV protection, along with free shipping, free returns, and a 60-Day Delight Guarantee. Consumers can also take advantage of a virtual try-on tool and a Try Before You Buy program — testing up to two pairs at home for 15 days, free. Prescription accuracy is 100% guaranteed; if a customer is unsatisfied for any reason, returns are on us.

"For our entire 30-year history we have focused on delivering exceptional customer experiences in the vision care space," said Amy Larson, President of The Framery at 1-800 Contacts. "By combining that passion for the customer with access to Eyebot's cutting-edge technology we are creating a seamless experience that is convenient, accessible, and empowers customers to get glasses they will love with confidence and ease. To kick off our partnership in The Framery’s hometown of Salt Lake City makes this even more meaningful."

The Eyebot Kiosk at the Layton Hills Mall can be found near Dillards, and the kiosk at the Valley Fair Mall can be found in the North corridor in front of the Nerd Store.

ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — A federal court in Nigeria on Wednesday sentenced four gunmen to death in the killing of at least 50 people during a 2022 attack on a church in a southwestern part of the country.

Children were among those killed in the assault just as mass was ending at the St. Francis Catholic Church in the town of Owo in Ondo State on June 5, 2022. Scores of people also were wounded, overwhelming hospital workers.

The four men were convicted of terrorism charges. A fifth defendant was acquitted for lack of evidence.

Prosecutors said the defendants were members of the al-Shabab militant group and operated from a cell in Kogi State in north-central Nigeria, about 200 kilometers from the country’s capital.

In April, Nigeria convicted more than 300 terrorism suspects in a mass trial that spanned four days.

Nigeria faces a complex security crisis, especially in the north, where an insurgency has simmered for more than a decade and where armed groups carry out kidnappings for ransom.

Among the most prominent Islamic militant groups are Boko Haram and its breakaway faction, which is affiliated with the Islamic State group and known as Islamic State West Africa Province. There is also the IS-linked Lakurawa group operating in communities in the northwestern part of the country that borders Niger Republic.
