“We continue to adapt and evolve our digital offerings in response to the pandemic. This addition to our optical site gives customers a new way to fulfill an important health care need safely and confidently from the comfort of their homes,” said Michele Driscoll, VP of customer engagement, ExtraCare, digital, & promotion, CVS Health. “This is especially important at a time when customers are trying to limit their interactions or are finding it difficult to schedule time with an optometrist.
