VSP Optical App Speds Up Dispensing and Ordering for VSP Patients

VSP Optics Group introduced otto (one touch to optical), an for the second and third-generation Apple iPad that reportedly helps eyecare professionals (ECPs) simplify measuring and dispensing advanced digital lenses, and brings eyewear consulting, and electronic claim filing through the following modules:
  • Patient Check-in and Care: Patients can use otto to fill out patient forms, answer questionnaires, authorize privacy policies, and provide insurance information. otto also allows ECPs to check eligibility and obtain VSP patient authorization and explanation of benefits. When orders are placed, it estimates patient out-of-pocket costs. ECPs can also check the status of lab orders and notify patients via text or e-mail when their eyewear is complete and ready for pick-up.
  • ‘otto-mated’ Measurements: Take photos of your patients with the iPad and otto calculates measurements like pupil distance and segment height. With the ottobox plug-in attached to the iPad, ECPs can take photos of the patient wearing their selected frame, and with the swipe of a finger, otto automatically calculates measurements like pantoscopic tilt and back vertex distance to simplify dispensing today's most advanced digital lenses.
  • Vision Screening: Prior to the eye exam, patients can use otto to complete a variety of tests in order to detect changes in their vision.
  • Frame Styling: Use otto to access Marchon and Altair frame catalogs or the Frames Data. Patients can also transmit photos of themselves wearing different frames to friends or family in order to get opinions on their choices using Facebook, Twitter or email.
  • Patient Consultation: Demonstrate the benefits of lens options like anti-reflective and scratch coatings, photochromic and tinted lenses, polarized sunwear.
  • Product Selection: Process orders for ophthalmic eyewear, sunwear, and contact lens orders. Use otto to educate patients on the advantages of multiple pairs of eyewear and of custom packages tailored by the practice. Orders ared confirmed and can be sent to the lab for processing.
VSP Optics Group also has co-developed otto’s digital lens fitting and dispensing technology with PFO Global.
