About ophthalmology

Ophthalmology covers vision and the eye: refractive error, cataract, glaucoma, retinal disease including diabetic retinopathy, and infections and inflammation of the eye and lids. Almost every visit involves a measurement, and much of the work ends in a spectacle prescription or a day procedure.

What makes this specialty hard to run

The operational problems a system has to answer, before any feature list.

  1. 01

    Almost every consultation involves a measurement of refraction, pressure or acuity, and those numbers matter more than the narrative.

  2. 02

    The revenue mix is unusual: consultation, investigation, procedure and optical sales, often on the same visit.

  3. 03

    Cataract and other day procedures need a package price, not a line-item bill assembled at the counter.

  4. 04

    Camp and screening work arrives in bursts and has to reach the same patient record as an ordinary visit.

How Nirogix supports ophthalmology

Grouped the way the day runs. Every line says whether it is in the product today or planned.

Available todayPlanned, not available yet

Clinical pathways are reference content your clinical team reviews and edits as its own; nothing is ordered or prescribed until a doctor chooses it. Calculators inform a decision and do not write to the record. A line that needs a particular module names it.

The eye consultation

  • Eleven ophthalmology pathways ready on day one: myopia, presbyopia, cataract, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, conjunctivitis, dry eye and more
  • Measurements recorded in the examination note, and diagnoses coded from common eye ICD-10-CM codes
  • A structured eye examination form set up with you during onboarding, which locks with the signed note
  • With the Ophthalmology module, visual acuity as read on the chart and in LogMAR, refraction, keratometry and IOP for each eye as structured fields
  • With the Ophthalmology module, slit lamp and fundus findings for each eye, with the cataract and diabetic retinopathy grades the clinician gives
  • Eye images filed by eye(planned)

Cataract and theater work

With the Operation Theater module.

  • Cataract surgery booked as a theater case with the side, the pre-operative checklist, consent and pre-anesthesia assessment
  • A surgical safety checklist and an operative note signed by the surgeon
  • Instrument sets traced through sterilization by CSSD
  • Cataract packages(planned)

Billing the mix

  • Consultation, investigation and procedure priced separately: fees by consultation type, procedures from your services catalog
  • One invoice for the visit, with part payments and concessions with a reason
  • With the Ophthalmology module, a printed spectacle prescription on your letterhead

Screening and follow-up

  • Patients seen at a screening camp registered once, with possible duplicates shown before a second chart is made
  • Follow-up dates in one press, listed on your dashboard until booked, and reminders through your own accounts
  • With the Ophthalmology module, IOP, acuity and cup-to-disc trends for each eye, and post-operative reviews and the next examination on a due list

What changes for the practice

One record from camp to clinic

A patient screened at a camp keeps the same chart when they come in for surgery.

Theater checks before the incision

The side, consent and fitness are confirmed in order before a cataract case starts.

Every charge in its place

Consultation, tests and procedures are priced from your schedule and catalog, not typed at the counter.

Follow-ups that get booked

Post-operative reviews sit on your dashboard until they are on the calendar.

The modules a practice like this turns on

Modules are entitlements: enable what you need now and add the rest when you are ready. Nothing is re-implemented per specialty.

What gets configured for you

Investigation catalog for the diagnostics the practice runsFee schedule covering consultation, investigation and procedureProvider slots that separate a screening session from a consulting session

Most specialties differ in configuration rather than code: the same modules are enabled and set up differently. Where a specialty has a module of its own (twenty-three today, from Pediatrics, Obstetrics and Dentistry to Cardiology, Oncology and Nephrology), it is switched on per hospital. Where a specialty needs a capability the platform does not have yet, we say so during the demo rather than after you buy.

Questions we are asked

Can we record visual acuity and refraction?

Yes, with the Ophthalmology module: acuity, refraction, keratometry and IOP for each eye as structured fields, with acuity, pressure and the spherical equivalent charted across visits. Without it, in the examination note or a structured form we configure for you at onboarding.

Can we print spectacle prescriptions?

Yes, with the Ophthalmology module, as its own document on your letterhead for the patient to take to an optician.

Can we run cataract surgery?

Yes, with the Operation Theater module: booking, the checklist, consent, the pre-anesthesia assessment, the operative note and recovery.

Is there an ophthalmology module?

Yes, switched on per hospital: vision and pressure for each eye, refraction, the eye examination, office and laser procedures, post-operative reviews and the spectacle prescription. Its forms are being reviewed by an ophthalmologist before customer use. Images by eye and cataract packages are planned.
