Refraction Calculation Automation for Eye Care
Let your AI agent handle prescription math and reporting, so you can spend more time with patients and less time on tedious calculations.
As an optometrist or ophthalmologist, you waste hours entering measurements into Excel, double-checking formulas, and formatting reports for EMR systems like Epic or NextGen. The constant back-and-forth between spreadsheets and patient files leaves you drained and anxious about missing errors. Manual refraction math slows down your clinic and increases the risk of costly mistakes.
An AI agent that automates sphere, cylinder, and axis correction calculations for eye care professionals, reducing manual errors and saving clinic time.
What this replaces
The hidden cost
What this is really costing you
In eye care clinics, optometrists and ophthalmologists spend hours each week calculating sphere, cylinder, and axis corrections for prescriptions. Pulling patient data from EMR platforms like Epic, entering values into Excel, and manually checking formulas is not only repetitive but also prone to errors. The process demands constant attention and interrupts patient care, especially during busy appointment days. Relying on manual workflows increases the chance of prescription mistakes and staff burnout.

AI Agent FAQ
The agent does not directly integrate with Epic or NextGen, but it generates reports you can copy and upload to your EMR after each session. Support for direct API integration is under consideration.
It uses standard refractive error formulas and cross-checks entries for common mistakes. You should review all results before finalizing prescriptions to ensure clinical accuracy.
Patient information is entered directly and never stored after processing. Data is encrypted in transit via TLS 1.3, ensuring privacy and compliance with HIPAA standards.
The agent handles standard and moderately complex prescriptions, including high astigmatism. For irregular or highly unusual cases, manual review is recommended.
No. The AI agent assists with calculations and recommendations, but you retain full control over final prescription decisions based on your expertise.
