the thing we couldn't stop noticing
Open any bathroom cabinet. The contact lens box in there is beige-adjacent, named something like AquaMoistHydraComfort 55, and carrying a swoosh an agency charged six figures for in 2004. It is the least loved object you touch every single morning, and you put its contents on your eyes.
The big lens companies bet you'll tolerate ugly because you have no choice. tuesday is the opposite bet: that if the box makes you smirk on a random Tuesday morning, you never go back to beige.
what we're actually building
Prescription daily contact lenses on subscription. One box a month, a fresh pair every morning, both eyes, shipping included. Every month is a new colorway with a face on it, a numbered drop, and a sticker sheet, because the laptop lid demands tribute.
The villain here is beige packaging and clinic markup as a system. Never your eye doctor, who we'd quite like you to keep seeing.
the four rules
- 01
the lens is serious. the box is not.
We only launch with FDA-cleared lenses. Rx required at launch: we'll verify with your prescriber before anything ships. The regulatory line on the back panel is exactly as boring as the law requires. Everything around it is ours.
- 02
every drop is numbered.
№1 is Cherry Cola. №2 through №5 stay sealed until their month. Five colorways rotating monthly, each with its own expression. Line them up on a shelf and you've got a small crowd staring back.
- 03
the price is posted.
$36 a box, a month of lenses for both eyes, shipping included. First box $5. No handling fee, no decoder ring, no price that moves once you're locked in.
- 04
leaving is as easy as joining.
At launch: pause, skip, or cancel in two taps from your account. No phone maze, no retention specialist, no guilt trip.
where we are right now
Pre-launch, and we'd rather say so plainly: we do not sell contact lenses yet. The waitlist is open, the boxes are designed, and we're sourcing lenses against a hard bar. 510(k)-cleared SKUs only. Launching fall '26 in the US. Every friend you bring makes your next box free, and the first 500 to join lock $29/box for the life of a continuously active subscription; pause or skip keeps the lock, cancel ends it.
