Medical365 vision refraction software manages Snellen, LogMAR visual acuity, subjective refraction, autorefractor sync & optical prescription dispatch for eye clinics.
Vision and refraction charting software is a core ophthalmology and optometry clinical documentation module. It manages visual acuity testing (Snellen, LogMAR, tumbling E), interfaces with autorefractor and lensmeter hardware, records subjective refraction parameters (Sphere, Cylinder, Axis, Addition, Prism), and auto-generates clean optical eyeglass prescriptions.
Addressing high-volume OPD congestion, diagnostic fragmentation, and statutory healthcare regulations.
Refractive errors—myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia—are the single most prevalent cause of visual impairment in India, affecting over 300 million citizens. In high-volume Indian eye hospitals, optical retail chains, and private ophthalmology clinics, refraction testing constitutes the primary entry point for nearly every patient consultation.
In conventional eye clinics, recording refraction is notoriously prone to transcription errors. Optometrists examine patients using autorefractors and phoropters, then write prescription numbers on small paper chits (e.g., -2.50 DS / -0.75 DC × 90°). Transposing minus and plus signs, misreading handwritten cylinder axes by 10 degrees, or failing to record pupil distance (PD) leads to optical dispensing errors, customer dissatisfaction, and remade lenses.
Medical365's Vision & Refraction module standardizes refractive documentation. Connecting directly with digital autorefractors, phoropters, and lensmeters, the software ingests objective measurements, structures subjective refraction charting with smart sign validators, computes transpupillary metrics, and produces legible digital optical prescriptions that patients can take to any optical shop or receive on WhatsApp.
Engineered with medical sub-specialists to eliminate manual charting friction and enforce clinical protocol rigor.
Seamless serial, USB, and LAN connectivity with major ophthalmic hardware (Topcon, Nidek, Zeiss, Reichert, Canon), auto-importing objective sphere, cylinder, and axis.
Records uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), and pinhole acuity in Snellen (6/6 to 6/60, 20/20), LogMAR, or Decimal notation for distance and near.
Interactive, error-checked entry for Right Eye (OD) and Left Eye (OS): Sphere (±0.25 D steps), Cylinder, Axis (1° to 180°), Near Addition (+0.75 to +3.50 D), and Pupillary Distance (PD in mm).
Documents prism diopters (base up, down, in, out) for strabismus and records soft/RGP contact lens parameters: base curve (BC), diameter (DIA), brand, and replacement schedule.
One-click conversion between plus-cylinder and minus-cylinder formats, with automated calculation of spherical equivalents for refractive surgery and intraocular lens (IOL) planning.
Generates a clean, tamper-proof optical prescription with hospital logo, doctor digital signature, and lens advice (anti-reflective coating, blue filter, progressive lenses) sent via WhatsApp.
High-resolution data flow architecture connecting point-of-care capture, diagnostic instruments, and national health registries.
A transparent 5-stage digital pathway standardizing patient care from initial requisition to longitudinal review.
Optometrist tests patient on autorefractor and measures existing glasses on digital lensmeter; data streams to EMR.
Distance and near visual acuity recorded for each eye individually (OD, OS) and binocularly (OU).
Optometrist fine-tunes sphere and cylinder axis using Jackson cross-cylinder, confirming clearest comfortable vision.
Eye specialist reviews refraction, conducts slit-lamp biomicroscopy and dilated fundus exam, and confirms spectacle advice.
Digital optical prescription prints, syncs to hospital optical counter, and dispatches to patient WhatsApp.
Medical365 Vision & Refraction Charting conforms to the All India Ophthalmological Society (AIOS) clinical documentation guidelines and international ISO 13666 ophthalmic optics standards.
All vision records and clinical examination notes are protected under AES-256 encryption compliant with the DPDP Act 2023. Prescriptions comply with Indian electronic health record standards and link to ABDM health lockers.

Yes. The interface features a 1-click 'Transpose' button that automatically recalculates sphere, cylinder, and axis between plus-cylinder and minus-cylinder conventions without calculation errors.
Yes. The visual acuity selector includes options for Snellen letters, Tumbling E, Numbers, Lea Symbols, and Cardiff Acuity cards for pre-verbal children.
Yes. The module includes a dedicated Contact Lens section recording base curve, diameter, power, movement on blink, push-up test tightness, and lens wear schedule.
Yes. Finalized optical prescriptions can be dispatched instantly to the patient's verified WhatsApp number as a professional PDF with the hospital branding and doctor's signature.
The software enforces mandatory positive/negative sign selection and checks that cylinder axis values fall between 1° and 180°, preventing typographical submission of impossible optical values.
