The Economics,
Line By Line
Ninety percent of every dispensing order goes to your practice. This page shows where the other 10% goes, what ABB bills separately, when funds arrive, and how taxes, refunds, and disputes are handled.
$0 signup · $0 monthly · $0 minimum · Vision Rescue participates only when it captures a dispensing order
90% goes to your Stripe account. Vision Rescue retains 10% for processing and marketing. ABB bills your practice separately for the lenses.
Every dispensing order, split at checkout
There is no second charge anywhere. No signup fee, no monthly fee, no listing fee and no minimum. The ten percent above is the whole of it.
The Ten Percent
Is Not Margin
Roughly three points of it never reaches us at all. That is card processing, and it is the same cost your office already pays on the terminal at the front desk.
What is left buys search placement. Not a brand campaign, not awareness for its own sake: the specific paid and organic positions a patient sees when they search their brand and their pack size, on Google and on Bing, in every state.
That is the part no independent practice can buy alone, and it is the entire reason a fee exists.
Your ABB Invoice Is
A Separate Conversation
We are not in the middle of it and we cannot see it.
For most practices the money from the sale is in the bank before the invoice for it comes due.
Your Cost Is Your Cost
Every dispensing order goes on your own ABB account at the wholesale price you negotiated. Whatever you have built with them over the years carries straight through.
We Never See The Number
We never receive your wholesale pricing and could not price against it. Lenses are listed at manufacturer suggested retail rather than at a discount.
Terms Usually Work In Your Favor
ABB invoices on terms while Stripe pays out in days. For most practices the money from the sale is in the bank before the invoice for it comes due.
Vision Rescue lists contact lenses at manufacturer suggested retail pricing rather than using discount pricing to compete with the prescribing practice. ABB is the only fulfillment connection live today. Additional distributors and manufacturer direct fulfillment are in the works, and the arithmetic on this page does not depend on which one fills the order.
What Actually Lands
In The Practice
The honest arithmetic, with nothing hidden in a footnote.
The Calculation
- Patient pays MSRP for the box
- Ninety percent of that settles into your Stripe account
- ABB bills you your negotiated wholesale cost
- What is left is your margin, and it is yours alone
The spread depends entirely on your ABB pricing, which is why we will not print a margin figure here and pretend it applies to every practice.
What Does Not Come Out Of It
- No platform fee beyond the ten percent
- No card processing on top, it is already inside the ten
- No fulfillment work on your side, because ABB drop ships to the patient
- No inventory, no carrying cost, no box ever in your office
Want To See Exactly How The Split Works?
That is the one question this page cannot answer, because the answer is your own ABB cost and we never see it. Take fifteen minutes with our team and we will walk you through exactly how the ninety ten works, so you can run it against your own cost yourself. Nothing is activated on a call.

Being The Seller
Cuts Both Ways
The upside is the margin. The rest of it belongs to you too, and you should know that before you sign.
What You Gain
- Ninety percent of every lens sale written against your prescriptions
- Your practice named as the seller on the patient’s statement
- Eligible manufacturer rebates, volume programs and growth goals may continue to accrue where applicable, because the order runs through your ABB account
- Money into your own Stripe account, never held by a third party
What You Carry
- Sales tax and reporting on those sales are yours
- Refunds and chargebacks come out of your Stripe balance
- You remain the prescriber, and still owe each patient a copy of their prescription under the FTC rule
- You do not set retail price; the catalog is MSRP so a patient comparing sellers finds their exact brand
None of this is tax or legal advice. Your accountant should see the addendum before you sign it.
Dry Eye And OTC
Work The Opposite Way
Worth being precise about, because the two sit side by side in the same cart.
The display carries the OTC catalog, where Vision Rescue is the seller and your practice earns a referral commission. Contact lenses run on the dispensing terms instead.
OTC Products
Vision Rescue is the seller
- We hold the inventory and ship from Florida
- We collect and remit the sales tax
- We handle the returns and the disputes
- You earn a referral commission, unchanged from whatever you run today
Contact Lenses, Once You Activate
Your practice is the seller
- Filled on your ABB account against your prescription
- Your name on the patient’s statement
- Sales tax and reporting on those sales are yours
- Ninety percent to your Stripe account on every order
An existing referral code keeps working exactly as it does now on the dry eye and OTC catalog. Lens orders run on the dispensing terms instead, because those fill on your ABB account.
Run It On Your Own Numbers
The terms are identical for every practice. The volume is not.
See Your Own Figures Once You Activate
Inside: orders your patients have already placed on Vision Rescue, a worked margin example against your own lens mix, and the provider dashboard as your office would see it. Creating the account costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
Eligible US Optometrists
And Ophthalmologists Can Activate
Requires an active US license, an NPI and an ABB Optical account for fulfillment. Nothing changes in the office.
