Why Digital Optometry Solutions

Built inside the profession, not sold into it

Every product starts as a problem Kevin — a practising South African optometrist — got tired of living with. Then it gets built properly, and stays part of one family: same palette, same dashboards, same way of working for your team.

  1. South African by designHPCSA advertising rules, POPIA, medical schemes, benefits season and load shedding are built in — not localised afterwards.
  2. Independent-first pricingPriced per practice, in Rand, month to month — so small doors get the tooling the chains build in-house.
  3. A founder who answers emailWhen you contact us you reach the person who built the product and still works in the industry.

“Every tool here started as a way to make every practice run smoother — for patients and staff. I'm sharing them in the hope they do the same for yours.”

Questions practices ask

Before you ask

The short, honest versions. Anything else — just ask.

Where is patient data stored, and is it POPIA-compliant?

The tools were built around POPIA from day one, not localised afterwards. Patient-identifying data is stored securely with access logging, and each product page carries its own data-handling summary.

Do I sign a contract?

No. Every product is month to month, per practice, in Rand. Cancel from inside the app — no calls, no notice period, no retention script.

What happens to my data if I cancel?

You can export your data at any time while subscribed. After cancellation it's kept for 30 days in case you change your mind, then deleted.

Why is the Prescription Visualizer free?

Because every practice should have it — and because it's the easiest way to see how we build. No trial period, no card, no expiry.

Do I need any special equipment?

No. Everything runs in the browser, on the computers and tablets your practice already has. MyoTrack works from the refractions you already take — no biometer required. An in-room tablet is handy, though: it's the easiest way to put the images, graphs and explanations in front of the patient right there in the chair.

How long does it take to get going?

Each product is set up in under an hour, most in minutes — and every one has a demo practice you can click through before you commit to anything.

Your idea here

What should we build next?

Every product on this site started as a problem a working optometrist got tired of living with. If your practice fights something daily that software could fix, tell us — you will be talking to the person who builds it.
