Hubble Contacts was founded by Ben Cogan and Jesse Horowitz. Their company seeks to produce and sell affordable, high quality contact lenses. They found their problem when trying to buy lenses throughout the U.S. and Canada, finding that the enterprises were over charging for contact lenses.

I think this startup is very well thought out and executed, they found need and a problem and came up with an excellent solution.
