Here are some of the Optical Shop Software™'s powerful features...



 

The Billing - Credit tab shows the patient's insurance information and any credit card information

In addition, there are fields for assigning discounts to the patient's orders, and these discounts can be automatically filled based on the selected insurance.

The Other Info tab has fields for additional contact information, and a field for saving the patient's digital photograph!. Our add-on digital camera allows you to take pictures of clients wearing their new frames., and costs only...now hold on...$279 and includes the camera. Compare this to other systems which cost $$$ more!!!

Other Info Tab

The Notes tab has 15 user definable fields. For example, the first has been set to "Good customer". Other good choices could be "Contact Lens Type", or "Contact Name", or "Care Method". You could then search these fields for a custom mailing!

A Recall Date reminds patient's when to get their eyes examined and return to you for eyeglasses. The Notes section stores a private note in yellow and a pop-up note in peach.

If there is something entered in this "pop-up" note, it appears in a dialog each time you find that patient! This is a great remind system!

The Messages tab shows you a list of all messages and exams about the current patient. You tell Optical Shop Software™ when to remind you about anything that needs to be done.

Medical Records
There are real medical records in Optical Shop Software. Create unlimited templates; copy and change previous exams, and more!

Contact Lens Records
The bottom section shows all contact lenses ever ordered for this patient.

Message Tab

Many Opticians create a record for themselves and use this system as their personal "To do list"!


Procedures (Products) database
This database contains a record of each product you sell, with its Charge, Equivalent CPT code (for insurance claim submission on paper) and field for the UPC or SKU. In the Inventory section there is a field for your Cost, for accurate profits reports, and fields telling you if you can apply a Discount to an item or if it is Taxable.

Optical Record (Order) Entry  
Order entry uses several screens which we will make the ordering process more pleasant and organized. The first is for Prescription Entry as shown below. You can assign the order to a doctor or check off Neutralization if the patient brings in an old prescription. All previous prescriptions are displayed to virtually eliminate re-makes because of transcription error. Our software will even transpose the prescription for you! The one of the buttons circled in red allows you to use the same prescription elements for each eye or copy a past prescription into today's order. For those practices also using our PracticeMaker(r) software, you can easily transfer the most recent glasses Rx into the order by clicking Update Rx from PracticeMaker.

Prescription Entry

 

Selecting a Frame & Clip is done on the second screen, shown here.

Frame and Clip selection

After selecting your frame, the third screen guides you through selecting Lenses and quickly adding unlimited extras such as tints, AR, POLISH and whatever your pop-up menu has listed!

Lens Selection

Contact Lens Ordering  
The screen below is where you can enter your contact lenses for this order. Notice the list on the bottom of the screen where all previous contact lens ordered can be seen. To re-use a previous order's parameters just click on the Lens Description and confirm your action.

 

For those who like everything about the order to be on one screen, our Compact Order Entry screen was made with you in mind.

Compact Order view


The Overview Screen below shows each order component and is where you can post your payments, discounts and other adjustments. Cash transaction alterations are logged to encourage accurate cash-based payments! To add Sales Tax to an order simply click the Add Tax button. The bottom left section shows all jobs that are part of the same order (SVD, SVR and sunglasses all linked together!)

Job overview and payments

 

Take digital images of your clients
With our small digital camera clipped to the top of your dispensing mirror, you can take digital photos of clients wearing up to four different frames
! This is how it works with our digital camera...

  • Click the Start Video button to open a video window in the middle of the Images screen.
  • Once the patient is looking good, you click the Place Image button to fill one of the empty picture holders.
  • You can then select which frame the patient tried on for that picture from the list associated with that picture!
  • The patient can then look at these digital photos and decides which frame looks best. Patient's love it!
  • Then with the click of the Use Frame button, the patient's selected frame is added to the order.
 

Optical Imaging

 

  • Once an order is completed available inventory is checked, if applicable, before the order is finalized. The entire order can then be faxed to your comprehensive laboratory.

  • If you order items from multiple vendors, and then assemble the glasses yourself, we have you covered. Our advanced system can fax to your vendors all outstanding components needed for all your orders. For example, if you are ordering 15 frames from Safilo and 10 lenses from ISEE and 20 lenses from 21st Century, each vendor receives a fax from you with all the correct information. This is simply an amazing time saving feature!

There are many reports available in Optical Shop Software™. Because of our built in security system, only certain users are capable of printing reports and/or printing vendor orders. The list of reports is as follows:

Optical Reports Menu

 

  • Daily Report: This creates a report of all goods sold and payments posted for a particular day. This report can show just one office prescriber or all providers in one report. For this report you need to select which provider (or use all) and the date.

  • Accounts Receivable: This creates one of several different reports based on the presets you enter on screen.

  • Vendor Orders: This creates and either prints or faxes your daily orders to your vendors. If your software is enabled to fax, then either choice is available, otherwise only the Print options functions.

  • Income Report: This report shows your income and profits for a specified time period. This report can summarize just one provider, or show all combined activity. There are report Wizards that can help you clear or fill in your date fields.

  • "NEW": Insurance Payments: This report lists all payments flagged as “Insurance” and sorts them by the Insurance assigned to an invoice. You can select one Insurance.

  • Items Sold: This report gives you details on how many of each item or service was sold during a specified time period.

  • Job Totals: This report tallies up all the jobs and sorts them by Prescriber for the specified time period

  • Patient Statements: This will print all patient statements that are flagged for printing. An invoice is "flagged" when the Print Status is set to "Batch".

  • Paper Claims: This will print all insurance claims that are flagged for printing. An invoice is "flagged" when the Print Status is set to "Batch".

  • Cost of Goods: This is the newest report to our system. It shows you exactly what the value of your inventory is at that moment in time. The report can be for all items or you can select just one (such as frames or lenses)!

FramesCD Link now available
Optical Shop Software™ now has the ability to import the contents of your FramesData CD "Frame board" into our Procedures module. This means not having to type in all the specifications, including the UPC, of the frames you want to sell. This feature will save you hours of data entry. This feature is available for a one time fee and does require a minimal amount of user setup.
