What Optometry Practices Need from IT
Optometry practice combines comprehensive eye exam workflow (acuity, refraction, slit lamp, fundus), diagnostic testing (OCT, visual field, fundus photo, corneal topography), contact lens fitting, optical dispensing (frames and lenses), and medical eye care (glaucoma management, diabetic retinopathy screening, dry eye, anterior segment disease). Optometrists increasingly manage medical eye conditions and co-manage with ophthalmology for surgical cases. Independent optometry practices frequently have heavy optical dispensing revenue alongside exam revenue.
Optometry platforms: RevolutionEHR (dominant for optometry), Eyefinity (for practices with significant optical dispensing), Crystal Practice Management, ModMed Optometry. Device integration: auto-refractor, phoropter, fundus camera, OCT, visual field.
Our Optometry Work
Our optometry work covers EHR configuration, device integration (auto-refractor, phoropter, OCT, VF, fundus photo, corneal topography) via EHR Assist, optical dispensing integration (Eyefinity is dominant), contact lens workflow (prescription, fitting, ordering), vision insurance billing (VSP, EyeMed, Davis), medical insurance billing for medical eye care, and MIPS.
Related: ophthalmology (co-management), optical dispensing retail. Practice types: solo OD, group practice, corporate optometry (LensCrafters, Pearle Vision, Costco Optical — different IT model), PE-acquired optometry groups. See optometry PM and optometry telehealth.

How an Engagement Starts
Our process is structured, documented, and starts with listening — not pitching.
Step 1 — Discovery call (30 minutes, no obligation). Practice owner or office manager. We listen. What's working, what's broken, what's the immediate pain point. No pitch, no vendor pressure, no slide deck.
Step 2 — Scoped assessment. On-site or remote — we inventory infrastructure, EHR environment, cybersecurity posture, vendor contracts, and clinical workflow patterns. Typically 2-5 business days depending on practice size. Deliverable: a written assessment with findings and prioritized remediation recommendations.
Step 3 — Proposal and engagement structure. If Optometry EHR-IT is a fit, we propose an engagement — scope, pricing, timeline, measurable outcomes. No long-term lock-in contracts on first engagement. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you directly.
Step 4 — Onboarding and delivery. Structured 30-60 day onboarding with clear milestones. Documentation, tooling deployment, knowledge transfer, and operational handoff. You know exactly what's happening and when.

Why Qventive, Specifically
Not a pitch — a factual description of how we're structured differently.
Healthcare-exclusive since 1994. Every engineer, every helpdesk technician, every account manager works only with medical practices. No retail, no law firms, no logistics companies. That focus has operational consequences — our on-call engineer at 2 a.m. knows what a downtime toolkit is for Epic. Our helpdesk understands that “the EHR is slow” is an emergency, not a ticket.
Steve Gerbino founded this company in 1994. The founder still answers questions. The depth of specialty and clinical workflow knowledge compounded over three decades is genuinely hard to replicate — and it's why we serve solo practices, group practices, multi-location practices, FQHCs, ASCs, concierge medicine, hospital-adjacent practices, and PE-backed platforms with equal depth.
Observe-Improve-Prevent methodology. Every engagement starts with observation — shadowing providers, auditing infrastructure, reviewing documentation. We don't assume. Then we improve based on what we actually see. Then we monitor continuously to prevent drift. This isn't a marketing slogan — it's an operational pattern baked into how our engineers work.
Geographic proximity. Our Bergen County headquarters in Hackensack means fast on-site response across NJ. We're not a 50-state remote-only MSP. When something needs hands-on work — new infrastructure, physical troubleshooting, device deployment — we send people.

Frequently Asked Questions
Detailed answers from 30+ years of healthcare-exclusive IT.
What's the best EHR for optometry?+
RevolutionEHR is dominant for optometry. Eyefinity for practices with heavy optical dispensing. Crystal Practice Management strong alternative. ModMed Optometry for specialty depth.
How do you integrate optometric devices?+
Auto-refractor, phoropter, lensmeter, OCT, visual field, fundus photo, corneal topography. Direct data import to EHR with structured capture. Our EHR Assist Interface handles this.
What about optical dispensing?+
Eyefinity dominant for optical — frames inventory, lens ordering (lab integration), vision insurance billing workflow, retail workflow. Integration with exam EHR for refraction data.
How do you handle vision insurance?+
VSP, EyeMed, Davis Vision, Spectera — distinct from medical insurance. Separate claim workflow, specific authorization patterns, benefit verification. Platform configuration for each payer.
Do you support medical eye care?+
Yes. Medical eye care (glaucoma, diabetic eye disease, dry eye, anterior segment) billed to medical insurance. Requires different documentation and billing workflow from routine vision care.
What about contact lens workflow?+
Contact lens prescription, fitting, follow-up, ordering from labs (CooperVision, Alcon, J&J Vision). Patient-direct ordering integrations (1-800-Contacts integration).
How do you handle MIPS for optometry?+
Optometry participates in MIPS. Measure selection relevant to optometric practice (diabetic retinopathy screening, documentation measures).
