Join 150+ healthcare providers with streamlined workflows and reduced administrative overhead
The "Scheduling Bottleneck" Problem
Endless phone calls for rescheduling due to vision exam conflicts with contact lens fittings and glaucoma screenings
HIPAA risks from manual patient data entry in shared calendars
No-shows spiking up to 25% during peak allergy seasons, wasting exam slots for dry eye assessments and allergy-related conjunctivitis checks
Staff burnout from double-booking errors in multi-location practices
Delayed follow-ups for post-cataract patients due to fragmented reminders, risking complications in intraocular lens adaptation
Integration failures between optometry EHR systems like RevolutionEHR and insurance verification platforms, causing claim denials for vision therapy services

We build a bespoke system from the ground up, integrating your EHR, patient portals, and teleoptometry tools into one unified platform. No more patchwork apps—just enterprise-grade automation that anticipates patient needs, from urgent glaucoma checks to routine dilated exams. This isn't off-the-shelf software; it's engineered for your exact patient volume, staff shifts, and regulatory demands, delivering immediate ROI through reduced overtime and higher throughput.
What Makes Us Different:
Quantifiable Gains for Your Practice
Slash Administrative Time by 15 Hours Per Week
Slash Administrative Time by 15 Hours Per Week: Optometry staff spend up to 40% of their day on scheduling routine eye exams and follow-ups—our automation handles it all, from digital intake forms capturing visual acuity history to automated confirmation texts. Practices see a 25% productivity boost within the first quarter, freeing opticians for hands-on care like refraction testing and reducing burnout. ROI hits within 3-6 months, with cost savings averaging $12,000 annually per location through minimized overtime on manual data entry.
Boost Revenue with 20% Fewer No-Shows
Boost Revenue with 20% Fewer No-Shows: Automated, personalized reminders via SMS or patient portal cut no-shows—a common issue in optometry where patients forget follow-ups for macular degeneration monitoring. We've helped practices recover 10-15% more billable hours in the first year, translating to $50,000+ in added revenue yearly for mid-sized offices by filling slots for comprehensive dilated exams.
Enhance Patient Satisfaction and Retention
Enhance Patient Satisfaction and Retention: Patients love frictionless booking, like scheduling a quick retina scan or low-vision assessment without hold times during peak seasons. Our system personalizes slots based on preferences such as preferred times for pediatric eye exams, leading to 35% higher satisfaction scores in post-visit surveys and stronger loyalty in a competitive eye care market, with retention rates improving by 18% over six months.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our two-location practice was drowning in rescheduling calls—nurses spent mornings just fixing double-books for contact lens fittings and routine glaucoma checks. Now, the AI handles everything seamlessly, and we've cut no-shows from 18% to under 5% in just six months. It's like having an extra staff member who never sleeps, allowing us to focus on patient care during busy spring allergy rushes."
Dr. Emily Chen
Lead Optometrist, ClearVision Optometry Group (Serving 5,000+ patients annually in suburban clinics)
"HIPAA compliance was our biggest worry with scheduling tech for handling sensitive visual field test data, but their custom build integrates perfectly with our EHR without a hitch. We saved 12 hours a week on admin tasks, and patients actually thank us for the easy online booking during busy flu seasons when eyes get irritated from viral conjunctivitis."
Mark Rivera
Practice Manager, Insight Eye Care Centers (Multi-site network with integrated ophthalmology services)
"Implemented this last quarter, and it's transformed our follow-up process for diabetic retinopathy screenings and post-LASIK checkups. No more lost patient records or manual reminders—staff now focus on detailed slit-lamp exams, and we've seen a 22% uptick in timely visits within the first 90 days. Worth every penny for the peace of mind in managing chronic eye conditions."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this ensure HIPAA compliance for our optometry patient data?
HIPAA is non-negotiable in eye care, where sensitive data like retinal scans demands ironclad protection. We architect every component with encryption at rest and in transit, using SOC 2-compliant servers and role-based access controls. During discovery, we map your data flows to embed privacy by design—think anonymized scheduling previews and audit trails for every action. Unlike generic tools, our custom builds avoid third-party vulnerabilities, with regular penetration testing to meet OCR standards. Practices we've partnered with report zero compliance issues, even during surprise audits, allowing focus on patient vision health rather than regulatory worries.
What if our practice uses a specific EHR like Topcon Harmony?
Integration is our strength—we've connected to over 20 EHR systems, including Topcon Harmony for optometry workflows. Our team reverse-engineers APIs for two-way sync, pulling patient histories and pushing appointment updates without manual entry. For Harmony users, this means real-time slot availability tied to exam equipment bookings, reducing errors in device scheduling. Setup takes 2-4 weeks, with minimal disruption; we test in a sandbox first. One client, a busy retinal specialist, cut integration headaches and saw 18% faster patient throughput post-launch.
Can this handle seasonal spikes, like during back-to-school eye exams?
Absolutely—optometry faces predictable rushes, and our AI forecasts them using historical data, weather trends (for allergy-related visits), and local events. It dynamically adjusts slot durations and suggests overtime buffers, preventing overload. For back-to-school peaks, we've helped practices auto-extend hours and prioritize pediatric slots, boosting filled appointments by 28%. The system learns from each cycle, refining predictions for even sharper accuracy next season, all while keeping staff workloads balanced.
How much time will implementation take, and what's the ROI timeline?
We streamline rollout to 4-6 weeks for most optometry practices: week 1 for assessment, 2-3 for building and integrating, and the rest for testing and training. ROI kicks in fast—clients typically recoup costs in 3 months through 15 hours/week saved (at $30/hour staff rate, that's $23,400 yearly) plus revenue from fewer no-shows. A mid-sized practice we worked with hit positive ROI in 10 weeks, adding $8,000 in recovered billings from optimized scheduling alone.
Is the system customizable for teleoptometry or multi-provider setups?
Yes, we tailor it precisely for hybrid models common in modern optometry. For telehealth, it books virtual slots with video link generation and integrates with platforms like Doxy.me, ensuring secure virtual eye consults. In multi-provider scenarios, AI allocates based on specialty—glaucoma experts get priority for high-risk cases—while syncing across in-office and remote calendars. This setup reduced cross-provider conflicts by 40% for a client with three ODs, enhancing collaboration without added admin burden.
What support do you provide after launch?
Post-launch, you're not on your own—our builders offer 90 days of hands-on optimization, monitoring metrics like booking speed and error rates to fine-tune. Monthly check-ins follow, with a dedicated healthcare specialist for any tweaks, like adding new exam types. We've maintained 99% uptime for all deployments, and clients access a secure portal for logs and updates. This ongoing partnership ensures your system evolves with practice changes, like expanding to low-vision services, keeping efficiency high year-round.
