OptoAI, a new AI-driven software platform for optometrists and optometric staff, has officially launched, bringing AI-powered assistance and essential tools to support clinical decision-making and streamline everyday tasks in optometry practices.
AI Chat Assistant: a knowledge resource for optometrists
The core feature of OptoAI is its AI-powered chat assistant, designed specifically for optometrists and their teams. Built on advanced natural language processing, the assistant provides instant access to optometric knowledge, helping clinicians:
- Look up clinical guidelines and best practices – Quickly retrieve information on ocular conditions, treatment protocols, and industry standards.
- Refresh their knowledge on complex cases – Get succinct summaries on conditions, differential diagnoses, and management strategies.
- Assist with diagnosis and decision-making – Input signs and symptoms to receive structured insights based on established optometric knowledge.
- Improve efficiency in patient interactions – Access explanations, comparisons, and discussion points that can help guide conversations with patients.
The AI Chat Assistant functions as an on-demand resource, allowing practitioners to reinforce their expertise and make informed decisions efficiently.
Additional tools for optometry practices
In addition to the AI chat assistant, OptoAI includes several practical tools to support optometric workflow, such as:
- Optometric Calculators – Automated calculations for clinical measurements and optical prescriptions.
- Diagnostic and Decision Support – AI-powered insights to assist in interpreting patient symptoms and selecting appropriate management strategies.
- Customizable Clinical Templates – Plan Templates and Reason for Visit Templates allow optometrists to create reusable documentation structures, reducing repetitive data entry and streamlining clinical workflows.
These features help optometrists save time on documentation, maintain consistency in patient records, and improve overall practice efficiency.
AI’s growing role in optometric practice
With artificial intelligence becoming more integrated into healthcare, OptoAI provides a practical and accessible way for optometrists to leverage AI in their daily practice.
Being in its early phase, OptoAI is actively evolving. While many enhancements and future features are already on the roadmap, the team is placing extra emphasis on input from early adopters.
Their feedback will play a key role in shaping the platform, ensuring that improvements are driven by the real needs of optometry professionals. The OptoAI team is committed to iterating and refining the platform to to make it as valuable as possible for optometry professionals.
“AI can be a valuable tool for optometrists, not to replace clinical judgment, but to enhance decision-making and just improve overall efficiency,” says Aaron Motacek, optometrist and founder of OptoAI. “Our goal is to provide tools that help optometrists stay informed, provide assistance to help make clinical decisions of the highest quality, and improve general efficiency and productivity in the clinic.”
