Getting Started

Q: How do I set up my first lenses?

A: There are two ways to add your lenses:

  1. Photo Setup (Recommended): Tap "Scan Lens Box" on the home screen, point your camera at your lens box, and let our AI automatically detect your brand and replacement schedule.
  2. Manual Entry: Tap "Enter Manually" and fill in your lens brand, replacement schedule (daily, bi-weekly, or monthly), and when you started wearing this pair.
Q: What if the photo scanner doesn't work?

A: If the photo scanner has trouble detecting your lens box, you can always enter information manually by tapping "Enter Manually." Make sure there's good lighting and the lens box text is clearly visible in the frame. If you continue to have issues, please email us at support@freshlens.app with a photo of your lens box so we can improve our detection.

Q: What lens replacement schedules are supported?

A: FreshLens supports all common replacement schedules:

Notifications & Reminders

Q: I'm not receiving notifications. What should I do?

A: Follow these steps to troubleshoot:

  1. Open iPhone Settings > Notifications > FreshLens
  2. Make sure "Allow Notifications" is turned ON
  3. Ensure the notification style is set to "Banners" or "Alerts"
  4. In FreshLens, go to Settings and verify your notification time
  5. Check that "Do Not Disturb" or "Focus" mode isn't blocking notifications
  6. Try restarting your iPhone

If you still don't receive notifications, contact us at support@freshlens.app

Q: Can I change when I receive notifications?

A: Yes! Open FreshLens, go to Settings, and tap "Notification Time." Select your preferred time for daily reminders. Notifications will be sent at this time when it's replacement day.

Q: How often will I receive notifications?

A: You'll receive a notification on the day you need to replace your lenses. You won't get daily spam—just a reminder when it matters. You'll also receive reminders if you're overdue for a replacement.

Tracking & Replacement

Q: I skip days wearing my lenses. Does the app account for this?

Q: How do I view my replacement history?

A: On the home screen, scroll down to see your recent replacement history. This shows when you replaced each lens and helps you track your lens care routine.

Q: Can I track multiple pairs of lenses?

A: Currently, FreshLens tracks one active pair of lenses at a time. If you switch between different types of lenses (e.g., daily and monthly), you can update your lens information in the app when you switch.
