Clark Lens was a Spanish direct-to-consumer contact lens brand that sold daily biomimetic contact lenses online through a subscription model. The lenses are designed to reproduce the eye's natural tear film and were sold at about €33 a month for 60 daily lenses with shipping included, roughly half the price charged by traditional opticians. The company also sold monthly coloured lenses. It was founded in 2019 by Saray Fernández Allende and Carlos Jiménez and was based at Lanzadera in Valencia. In January 2021 it raised €100,000 in a seed round through the Startupxplore investment platform, which drew more than 40 investors and was oversubscribed.
