Kevin Meiring, optometrist and founder
The person behind the products

Built at the chair, not in a boardroom.

Digital Optometry Solutions is the work of Kevin Meiring, a South African optometrist who got tired of watching good practices lose time and money to problems software should have solved years ago.

HPCSA OP0053031 12+ years in the eyecare industry B.Optom, University of Johannesburg (2014) Business diploma, NWU (2018) Optometric & ophthalmic practice experience

Every product on this site started the same way: a moment in practice where I thought — there has to be a better way than this.

I completed my B.Optom at the University of Johannesburg in 2014, and went on to finish a business diploma through NWU in 2018 — because running a good practice takes more than good clinical skills. That combination of the consulting room and the balance sheet shapes everything I build.

I've worked as an eyecare professional in both optometric and ophthalmic environments, and those years taught me the inner workings of each — where the day flows, and where it gets stuck. Wherever I worked, I found myself doing the same thing: trying to make the daily operations smoother, whether through client satisfaction, staff training, or creating tools to help with all of the above.

This site is me sharing that work. The hope is simple: that these ideas solve some of your daily struggles, make things flow a little smoother, and add value to both you and your patients through technology.

Every product is built the same way — created for a real problem from the consulting room, tested against real practice days, and priced so a one-door independent practice can carry it. If your practice fights a problem you don't see solved here, tell me — what you suggest might be what I build next.
