About Optivance

Fit for purpose, built to grow with your practice.

Optivance started with my dad, an optometrist. For years I watched him run the whole practice almost on his own: the patients, the workshop, the paperwork, the books, the suppliers. All of it rested on him.

His practice isn’t the exception. Optical clinics of every size live with the same gap. The EMRs they’re handed weren’t built for optical work, so the eye exam is squeezed into a generic visit form. Supplier orders, lab production, and patient follow-up sit outside the tool, held together by notebooks, spreadsheets, and WhatsApp.

So we built software that fits the practice you run today and grows with you, from a single room to a chain of branches.

Built around your practice

Optivance meets you where you are.

For small practices

The systems on offer are too heavy and too complex for how a small clinic runs.
Records stay on paper, and the workshop runs on memory.
No update on progress, so a patient is never told where their order stands.

For large practices

Generic EMRs that miss optical work: detailed refraction, dispensing, the lab.
No real way to track lab production or follow up with patients at scale.
No single view across facilities, so there’s no revenue insight from one branch to the next.

Optivance is built to solve both. Whether you work on your own or run several facilities, it fits the way you work and grows with you.

Pilot practice

We used to track stock in a physical book and it ate up so much time. Now Optivance tells me when something is running low, I send a purchase order straight to my suppliers, and the record updates on its own.
