Our Tailored AI Solution Eliminates Manual Entry Forever
With over a decade of experience building HIPAA-compliant systems for eye care providers, we've helped practices like yours achieve enterprise-grade efficiency without the vendor lock-in.
Why Choose Us
At AIQ Labs, we craft custom AI workflows specifically for optometry practices, replacing fragmented EHR entries and paper forms with intelligent automation. Imagine an AI that scans your phoropter outputs, auto-populates patient charts, and integrates seamlessly with your existing systems like RevolutionEHR or Eyefinity—all while maintaining strict HIPAA standards. No more one-size-fits-all software that forces your unique exam flow into rigid boxes. We build for your exact needs, from capturing slit-lamp exam details to automating glaucoma screening logs, ensuring every piece fits your patient-centric workflow perfectly.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Practice-Wide Transformation
Accelerate Patient Encounters
Accelerate Patient Encounters: Reduce comprehensive eye exam room time from 45 minutes to under 30 by automating capture of visual acuity and pupillary response data. Our custom solutions have helped optometry practices increase daily patient volume by 25%, enabling more screenings for conditions like dry eye syndrome without extending hours or hiring additional ophthalmic technicians.
Fortify HIPAA Compliance
Fortify HIPAA Compliance: Built-in AES-256 encryption and immutable audit trails ensure every fundus photography or OCT scan entry meets regulatory demands. Unlike off-the-shelf tools, our custom systems eliminate the 30% of breaches tied to manual errors in protected health information, providing peace of mind amid rising OCR audits in eye care.
Optimize Revenue Cycles
Optimize Revenue Cycles: Automate ICD-10 coding for refraction results and visual field tests to cut billing delays by 40%. Practices report faster reimbursements from payers like Medicare and fewer claim denials for procedures such as gonioscopy, transforming overlooked diagnostic data into a steady revenue stream within 90 days of implementation.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's system, our techs spent mornings re-entering Goldmann tonometry and Humphrey visual field readings from yesterday's paper charts—it was total chaos during peak allergy season with all the redness and irritation cases. Now, everything flows seamlessly into our EHR automatically, and we've slashed entry errors that used to trigger Medicare claim flags. Saved us about 10 hours a week, hands down."
Dr. Sarah Kline
Board-Certified Optometrist, VisionCare Associates Eye Clinic, Chicago, IL
"We were drowning in manual logs for toric contact lens fittings, especially with our high-volume pediatric patients dealing with astigmatism. AIQ's custom AI not only handles the keratometry data entry but cross-checks inventory in real-time against our frame vendor database. Last quarter, we reduced stock discrepancies by 60% and finally got back to focusing on pediatric eye health, not endless paperwork."
Mark Rivera
Operations Manager, ClearSight Optometry Group, Miami, FL
"Integrating AIQ's system with our Heidelberg spectral-domain OCT for retinal imaging was a game-changer. No more typing up age-related macular degeneration progression notes while the patient's waiting in the exam lane. It took just two weeks to set up with our existing EHR, but now our HIPAA compliance audits are a breeze, and staff morale is way up since they're not buried in subjective refraction forms all day."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this ensure HIPAA compliance for our optometry practice?
Our solutions are engineered with end-to-end encryption, role-based access controls, and automated de-identification of PHI right from the start. We conduct regular security audits aligned with HHS guidelines, and every data flow—from capturing fundus images to logging corneal topography results—is logged immutably. Unlike generic tools, we customize retention policies to match optometry-specific needs, like 7-year holds for adult records. We've helped over 100 practices pass surprise audits without issues, reducing breach risks that plague 1 in 5 healthcare providers annually.
Can this integrate with our existing equipment like autorefractors?
Absolutely. We design APIs to pull data directly from devices such as Topcon or Nidek autorefractors, eliminating manual transcription of sphere, cylinder, and axis values. For instance, in a recent project, we synced outputs from a Humphrey visual field analyzer into the patient's chart in under 10 seconds. This custom approach avoids the compatibility headaches of off-the-shelf software, ensuring your workflow—from pre-testing to final spectacle Rx—remains uninterrupted and efficient.
What if our practice has multiple locations?
Our unified platform supports multi-site optometry groups by centralizing data entry while allowing location-specific customizations, like varying protocols for pediatric vs. geriatric care. We implement secure cloud syncing that handles peak loads, such as during allergy season rushes, without latency. One client with three clinics saw a 35% drop in inter-site data discrepancies after deployment. Setup includes tailored training for each team's unique processes, ensuring scalability as you expand.
How long does implementation take for a small optometry office?
For a typical 5-10 provider practice, we complete discovery and build in 4-6 weeks, with full go-live in 8 weeks max. This includes mapping your exam flow, prototyping AI for tasks like keratometry data entry, and phased rollout to minimize disruption. We've streamlined this for busy environments, testing in off-hours to avoid impacting patient slots. Post-launch, our team provides 2 weeks of hands-on support, helping you achieve 90% automation on day one.
Will this reduce errors in coding for conditions like astigmatism?
Yes, our AI cross-references entries against ICD-10 codes specific to optometry, such as H52.1 for myopia, flagging mismatches before submission. This has cut coding errors by 50% for clients, speeding reimbursements from payers like Medicare. The system learns from your historical data, improving accuracy over time for nuanced cases like irregular astigmatism. It's not just automation—it's intelligent validation that safeguards your revenue and patient records.
Is training required for our optometric technicians?
Minimal—our intuitive interfaces require just 4-6 hours of guided sessions, focused on everyday tasks like uploading OCT scans or reviewing AI-suggested entries. We provide role-specific modules, so techs learn to override suggestions if needed, like for subjective refraction tweaks. Follow-up virtual check-ins ensure 95% adoption within the first month. Practices report techs preferring it over manual methods, as it frees them for direct patient interaction rather than desk work.
