The Revenue Blind Spots in Your Optometry Practice
The average Australian optometry practice loses over $120,000 per year in uncaptured recalls and dispensing revenue. These are the blind spots costing you the most.
How AI Transforms Your Optometry Practice
A proven four-step process that integrates seamlessly with your existing optometry software, dispensing workflows, and patient records.
Practice Assessment
We audit your entire patient journey from recall through to dispensing, identifying every compliance gap, communication breakdown, and manual process that costs you revenue and clinical time.
AI System Integration
Our team configures AI-powered recall management, health fund verification, and patient communication tools that integrate directly with your optometry practice management software.
Workflow Automation
We build automated workflows for patient recalls, health fund pre-checks, contact lens reorders, and referral letters — all customised to your practice model and patient demographics.
Monitor & Optimise
Ongoing performance tracking measures recall compliance rates, dispensing conversion, and patient retention. We continuously refine your AI workflows to maximise revenue per patient.
AI Features Built for Optometry Practices
Every feature is designed specifically for Australian optometrists. Not generic recall software — purpose-built optical practice intelligence.
Smart Recall Management
AI identifies overdue patients, segments by last visit type and risk profile, and sends personalised recall messages via their preferred channel. Achieves 52% faster recall completion than manual systems.
Health Fund Pre-Check
Automatically verify patient health fund coverage, remaining optical benefits, and gap amounts before appointments. Patients arrive knowing their out-of-pocket costs, reducing front-desk congestion.
Frame Recommendation AI
AI suggests frames based on prescription type, face shape preferences, lifestyle needs, and health fund coverage. Reduces frame selection time by 40% and increases average dispensing value.
Contact Lens Reorder Automation
Patients reorder contact lenses via SMS or portal. AI validates the prescription, checks supply availability, and processes the order. Automatic reminders sent when supplies are running low.
Referral Letter Generation
AI generates ophthalmologist referral letters pre-populated with clinical findings, OCT images, and visual field results. Letters are formatted to specialist preferences and sent electronically.
Patient Education Delivery
Post-examination, AI sends personalised education materials about diagnosed conditions, lens care instructions, and preventive eye health tips. Builds patient trust and compliance with treatment plans.
Online Booking Integration
AI-powered booking that matches appointment type to available time slots, considers equipment needs (OCT, visual fields), and sends pre-appointment instructions. Reduces phone booking time by 70%.
Post-Exam Follow-Up
Automated follow-up sequences after examinations. Check adaptation to new prescriptions, contact lens comfort, and satisfaction with frames. Flag any issues for clinical attention.
