Join 150+ healthcare businesses with streamlined operations and HIPAA-secure efficiency
The "Optometry Overload" Problem
Endless manual entry of refraction data (e.g., spherical, cylindrical, and axis measurements) and visual field test results from perimetry exams
HIPAA compliance headaches from scattered patient records across disparate EHR systems like Epic and Cerner
Appointment scheduling chaos leading to double-booking and patient frustration
Time-consuming follow-up reminders for contact lens fittings and glaucoma checks
Billing delays due to manual verification of insurance codes for vision services, such as CPT 92015 for refraction and HCPCS V2020 for standard lenses
Inventory tracking errors for ophthalmic frames and contact lenses causing stockouts during peak seasons like back-to-school

What Makes Us Different:
Quantifiable Gains Tailored to Optometry Efficiency
Slash Administrative Time by 25 Hours Weekly
Slash Administrative Time by 25 Hours Weekly: Manual tasks like updating patient histories with Snellen chart results and logging OCT retinal scans drain your team's focus from eye care. Our AI automates these via seamless EHR integration, freeing optometrists for more consultations. Practices see a 35% productivity boost, translating to an ROI of $150,000 annually for a mid-sized clinic—proven by benchmarks from the American Optometric Association.
Boost Revenue Through Smarter Scheduling and Reduced No-Shows
Boost Revenue Through Smarter Scheduling and Reduced No-Shows: No-shows cost optometry practices up to 20% of potential revenue from procedures like dilated fundus exams. Our predictive AI analyzes patient patterns to send personalized reminders via secure SMS and suggest optimal slots around peak times, cutting no-shows by 40%. This means more filled chairs, higher throughput, and a direct 15-25% increase in billable services like comprehensive eye exams without expanding staff.
Ensure HIPAA-Compliant Operations with Zero Compromise
Ensure HIPAA-Compliant Operations with Zero Compromise: Regulatory audits can paralyze your practice with scrutiny on PHI handling. We embed end-to-end encryption and audit trails into every workflow, automating compliance checks for sensitive data like retinal scans and intraocular pressure readings. Clients report 50% faster audit prep—often reducing preparation from weeks to days—avoiding fines that average $50,000 per violation, while keeping patient trust intact through de-identified data flows.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our three-optometrist practice in suburban Chicago was buried under paperwork for verifying CPT codes like 92004 for comprehensive exams and ordering toric contact lenses. Their custom AI now handles it all via automated claims submission, saving us about 20 hours a week. We went from constant billing disputes with insurers like VSP to on-time payments, and our error rate dropped to near zero in just two months, boosting our quarterly revenue by 18%."
Dr. Emily Chen, OD
Lead Optometrist, VisionCare Associates, Chicago IL
"Implementing their AI for patient reminders transformed our no-show rate from 18% to under 5% within the first quarter. It's fully HIPAA-secure with role-based access controls and integrates perfectly with our Topcon OCT and visual field analyzer data. The best part? Our front desk staff now spends more time greeting patients for routine screenings, not chasing down scattered records in our NextGen EHR."
Mark Rivera
Practice Administrator, ClearSight Optometry, Austin TX
"We were skeptical about AI in a regulated field like optometry, but AIQ's team built a workflow that automates glaucoma follow-up scheduling based on our exam notes from tonometry and gonioscopy results. It's cut our manual reviews by 12 hours weekly, and we've seen a 22% uptick in repeat visits for progression monitoring without any compliance issues during our recent OCR audit."
Dr. Sarah Patel, OD
Clinic Owner, EyeHealth Specialists, Denver CO

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your AI ensure HIPAA compliance in optometry workflows?
HIPAA compliance is non-negotiable in healthcare, especially for sensitive eye health data. At AIQ Labs, we embed encryption, access controls, and audit logging into every custom workflow from the ground up. For optometry practices, this means patient records from visual acuity tests or OCT scans are handled with end-to-end security. We conduct regular vulnerability assessments and align with HITRUST standards. Unlike generic tools, our systems are audited by third-party experts, ensuring no data breaches— we've helped clients pass OCR audits without issues. Implementation includes staff training on secure usage, reducing risks by 70% based on industry benchmarks.
What kind of time savings can an optometry practice expect?
Optometry practices often lose 20-30 hours weekly to manual tasks like scheduling and record updates. Our custom AI automates these, delivering 25+ hours saved per week on average. For example, AI-driven appointment reminders cut no-shows by 35%, freeing slots without extra effort. Billing automation reduces verification time from hours to minutes per claim. Clients report a 40% efficiency gain in the first quarter, with ROI hitting 3x within a year through increased patient volume and reduced admin costs. We tailor to your workflow, so savings scale with your practice size—solo docs see quick wins, while groups optimize across locations.
Yes, seamless integration is our core strength. We specialize in two-way API connections with popular optometry EHRs such as RevolutionEHR, Eyefinity, or Compulink. Our team maps your data flows— from patient demographics to exam results—and builds custom bridges that sync in real-time. This eliminates manual double-entry, which plagues 60% of practices per MGMA reports. For instance, refraction data auto-populates without errors, and compliance flags trigger instantly. We've integrated with over 20 healthcare systems, ensuring no disruptions during rollout. Post-launch, we monitor for 90 days to fine-tune performance.
Costs vary by practice size and complexity, but for a typical optometry group with 5-10 staff, expect $50,000-$150,000 for a full custom build, including audit, design, integration, and training. This is a one-time investment yielding 200-300% ROI through time savings and revenue gains—no ongoing subscriptions. Unlike assemblers piecing together $10K/month tools, we deliver owned assets. Factors like EHR integrations or voice AI add-ons influence pricing, but we provide a detailed quote after discovery. Many clients offset costs via efficiency gains within 6-9 months, per our tracked case studies.
Absolutely—our models are fine-tuned on anonymized optometry datasets, including scenarios like cataract screenings and contact lens fittings. We avoid generic AI by incorporating domain knowledge from collaborations with optometric associations. This ensures accurate handling of terminology like Snellen charts or IOP measurements. For your practice, we ingest your historical data (HIPAA-safely) to customize predictions, such as forecasting peak allergy season visits. Results? 95% accuracy in tasks like no-show prediction, far surpassing off-the-shelf tools. Ongoing learning keeps it sharp without manual updates.
Our systems are designed for scalability from day one. Built on robust frameworks, they handle increased patient loads—say, from 50 to 200 daily exams—without performance dips. For multi-location optometry chains, we enable centralized dashboards for cross-site inventory and scheduling. As you add services like optical retail, the AI adapts via modular updates, not full rebuilds. We've scaled solutions for clients growing 50% in revenue, maintaining 99.9% uptime. Expansion is cost-effective, with add-ons 30-50% cheaper than initial builds, ensuring your investment evolves with your practice's ambitions.
