What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Quantifiable Time Savings and ROI in Your Practice
Reclaim 25+ Staff Hours Weekly
Reclaim 25+ Staff Hours Weekly: Manual tasks like updating patient histories, visual field test results, and verifying vision coverage vanish. Industry data from the American Optometric Association shows optometry practices lose $150,000 annually to admin inefficiencies; our AI cuts that by automating 80% of EHR data entry, converting saved time directly to billable comprehensive eye exams and boosting revenue per optometrist by 20-30%.
Achieve 4x Faster ROI Through Cost Reductions
Achieve 4x Faster ROI Through Cost Reductions: Expect payback in under 6 months with 60% lower administrative costs for claims processing and inventory management. By streamlining billing cycles for spectacle prescriptions and reducing no-shows via automated SMS reminders, practices see a 35% uplift in patient throughput—translating to $200,000+ in additional yearly revenue for mid-sized optometry groups handling 5,000+ annual visits.
Enhance Patient Satisfaction with Frictionless Experiences
Enhance Patient Satisfaction with Frictionless Experiences: Automated pre-visit questionnaires on ocular history and real-time eligibility checks for Medicare vision benefits mean shorter wait times and fewer reschedules. Benchmarks from the American Optometric Association highlight that satisfied patients return 25% more frequently for follow-up glaucoma screenings; our system delivers personalized follow-ups via patient portals, driving loyalty and referrals without extra staff effort.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our front desk team spent mornings buried in insurance verification calls for VSP and Aetna vision plans—now it's all automated, and we've added 15 more comprehensive eye exam slots per week without hiring extra staff. The HIPAA-compliant setup for EHR integration was seamless; no compliance headaches with protected patient data at all."
Dr. Emily Chen
Lead Optometrist, VisionCare Associates, a 10-provider optometry practice in Seattle
"We were drowning in manual inventory counts for daily-wear contact lenses and designer eyeglass frames, losing 4-5 hours every reorder cycle. Their custom AI forecasted needs based on prescription trends with 95% accuracy, cutting overstock by 40% and waste costs by $12,000 in just three months. It's like having an extra inventory specialist who never sleeps."
Mark Rivera
Practice Operations Manager, ClearSight Optometry, a multi-location chain in California
"Integrating with our NextGen EHR took about two weeks longer than expected due to custom tweaks for refraction data syncing, but the results have been transformative: automated appointment reminders via text reduced no-shows from 20% to 5% for routine dilated exams, and our team's finally focusing on patient care instead of paperwork. Worth every penny for the revenue gains."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How do you ensure HIPAA compliance in the AI workflows?
HIPAA compliance is non-negotiable in our designs. We start with a full risk assessment of your data flows, implementing encryption for all PHI transmission and storage. Our AI models are trained on anonymized datasets, and we build in role-based access controls to limit data exposure. Regular audits and SOC 2 Type II certification underpin our processes. For optometry practices, this means secure handling of sensitive details like visual field tests without compromising care speed. We've helped 75+ providers navigate these requirements seamlessly, reducing breach risks by 90% compared to manual systems.
What kind of time savings can an optometry practice expect?
Based on benchmarks from similar deployments, practices reclaim 20-30 hours weekly. For instance, automating insurance checks alone saves 8-10 hours per staffer, while AI scheduling cuts rescheduling calls by 70%. A mid-sized practice with 10,000 annual visits typically sees 25 hours freed up, directly translating to 15% more billable time. We track this via pre- and post-implementation metrics, ensuring ROI hits within 4-6 months. It's not just savings—it's reallocating time to patient interactions that drive loyalty and revenue.
Can this integrate with our existing EHR system?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way integrations with popular EHRs like RevolutionEHR or Eyefinity. Our process involves API mapping to sync data effortlessly—think automatic population of refraction results or allergy updates. No data silos. For a recent client, we connected their system in under two weeks, eliminating duplicate entries that previously cost 5 hours daily. If your setup is custom or legacy, we handle migrations too, ensuring zero downtime during go-live.
Is the solution customizable for multi-location optometry groups?
Yes, our custom builds scale effortlessly across locations. We design centralized dashboards for oversight—monitor inventory at all sites or schedule cross-practice appointments. For a three-location group we worked with, this unified everything, reducing stock discrepancies by 50% and enabling shared patient records compliantly. Each site gets tailored automations, like location-specific reminder languages, while maintaining enterprise-grade security. Scalability is core; as you expand, the system grows without added costs.
What support do you provide after implementation?
Ongoing support is built-in for the first year, including monthly performance reviews and tweaks based on usage data. Our team monitors for issues like integration hiccups or evolving HIPAA rules, optimizing algorithms—e.g., refining no-show predictions with your patient trends. Beyond that, we offer flexible maintenance packages. Clients report 95% uptime and quick resolutions, often within hours. It's partnership, not just delivery; we ensure your investment continues delivering value as your practice evolves.
How does this handle sensitive patient data like vision prescriptions?
We treat all PHI with the utmost security, using end-to-end encryption and anonymization techniques during AI processing. Prescriptions are tokenized—processed without exposing raw details—and stored only in your compliant EHR. Access logs track every interaction for audits. In optometry, where prescriptions impact daily lives, this precision prevents errors; one client avoided a potential mix-up by automating secure sharing with labs. Our regulatory-aware approach aligns with OCR guidelines, giving you peace of mind.
