Managing contact lens trials and frame stock with spreadsheets wastes time and creates ordering errors. Clinit's optical module handles both in the same system as your clinical notes.
The Paper Problem in Optical Practices
Most optical clinics run a strange hybrid: electronic refraction records and paper-based contact lens trial logs. Staff spend time reconciling these, and errors creep in.
Clinit's contact lens module records:
- Base curve, diameter, sphere, cylinder, axis for each eye
- Lens brand and material (silicone hydrogel, gas permeable, rigid)
- Trial lens details with over-refraction
- Final fitting assessment: centration, movement, comfort
- Supply history: how many boxes dispensed, when, at what price
Frame Inventory
The inventory module manages the optical retail side: frame brands, models, colours, and eye/bridge/temple sizes. Each frame is barcode-scannable, stock levels are tracked in real time, and low-stock alerts are configurable.
Integration with Billing
When a contact lens supply or frame sale is entered, it flows directly to a draft invoice. The front desk does not need to manually enter prices; the system pulls from the pricebook.
Patient Portal: Lens Reminders
Patients with monthly or fortnightly replacement schedules receive automated WhatsApp messages when their current supply is approaching expiry, reducing dropout between replacement cycles.
