Practice management for optometry and eye care
A prescription is a table, so it gets recorded as one — right and left, sphere, cylinder, axis, ready to sit next to last year’s. A change between years is then something you can see rather than something you have to remember.
14 days, the whole product. No card to start, nothing charged if you stop.
Recorded as fields, so this year can sit next to last year.

Where it earns its place in your week
Fields, not a free-text box
Right and left, sphere, cylinder, axis. Structured, so a change between years is visible instead of buried in a paragraph.
Contact lenses as their own thing
Fitting, trial and aftercare are separate services with their own lengths, so a lens appointment does not sit in a slot cut for a sight test.
Children on their own schedule
Short slots and their own service, so a child’s appointment is not an adult’s appointment with the time changed.
The detail
What running a optometry clinic on Clinic+ actually looks like
Four parts of a visit — what you write down, when they come in, how you get paid, what brings them back. Everything listed here exists today.
What you write down
01- A prescription as structured fields — right and left, sphere, cylinder, axis — not a free-text box.
- This year’s result readable next to last year’s, so a change is visible rather than buried.
- Eye pressure per eye as a series — the loop glaucoma follow-up runs on.
- Vision test results and contact lens fitting notes on the record.
- Children’s screening recorded as its own service with its own history.
When they come in
02- 30-minute examinations, 15-minute tests and short slots for children, set per service.
- A booking horizon long enough to book next year’s test at the desk today.
- A waitlist for the appointments that free up.
- Patients move their own annual exam without phoning, up to your cutoff.
How you get paid
03- Per test, per fitting and per visit selling units.
- Fixed pricing for the routine work, which is most of it.
- Balances on the patient record and reports by service.
- Export gated by its own permission, separate from being able to read the numbers.
What brings them back
04- Last year’s prescription beside this year’s, so a change is visible on the screen.
- Next year’s appointment bookable at the desk before they leave.
- Reminders before the appointment to protect the slot you just filled.
- The assistant answers hours, whether you test children and how long an exam takes.
Questions it can answer before you have written anything
These come with optometry & eye care and you can rewrite any of them. Add four or five of your own in the first week and you will notice the phone ringing less — it is the cheapest improvement available to you.
How the FAQ feeds the assistantHow often should I have an eye exam?
An annual eye exam is advised for most adults; if you notice changes in vision, come in sooner. We can arrange an appointment.
Do I need to renew my prescription?
Prescriptions can change over time, so periodic renewal is advised; we recommend an eye exam for an up-to-date prescription.
Before you decide
The questions that decide whether this fits, including the ones where the answer is no.
- Can I bring my patient list across from my current system?
- Yes — export your patients as a CSV and the import wizard reads the columns, suggests a mapping and lets you correct it before anything is written. It carries contact details: name, phone, email, date of birth, gender, national id, address and preferred language. What it does NOT carry is appointment history, clinical notes or financial history. Those either stay in your old system as an archive or come across by hand, and that is worth planning for before you pick a switchover date.
- Can prescriptions be recorded and carried between visits?
- Yes, as part of the examination record, so the previous prescription is on the screen when you write the next one rather than in a drawer.
- Can it chase patients due their next eye test?
- No. The previous prescription and its date are on the record, so the interval is visible to anybody who opens it, but nothing goes out on its own. For a practice whose repeat business runs on that chase, this is the gap to weigh.
- Can I hold frames and lenses as stock?
- Yes — quantity, what it cost in the currency you bought it in, the rate that day, weighted-average valuation and a warning below a reorder level. What it is not is a retail system: no barcode scanning, no variants by size or colour. Stock is on the Suite plan and above.
- Does it connect to autorefractors or other equipment?
- No. There is no device integration; readings are entered rather than imported.
- Can we run two shops on one account?
- Yes, on the Network plan — each branch keeps its own hours, staff and calendar, and stock is held per branch so a combined figure never sends somebody to an empty shelf.
- Is there really a free plan, or is it a trial?
- A plan. One seat, no card, and it does not expire. You are not evaluating against a countdown, which matters because a fortnight is not long enough to tell whether a clinic system fits — a month of real bookings is.
