How does vision insurance billing work?

Vision plans (VSP, EyeMed, Eyeglass World) have specific copay structures: allowance for frames, fixed lens copay, and exam coverage. The system calculates each item against the plan benefit, generates the claim, and calculates the patient's out-of-pocket balance.

How is frame inventory managed?

Frames are cataloged by brand, model, material, and size. When a frame is sold, inventory decrements. When stock falls below minimum, a reorder alert generates a purchase suggestion from the supplier. Frames can also be flagged as floor samples not available for sale.

How do recall reminders work?

After each annual exam, the system sets the next recall date 12 months later. Three months before, an email and postcard reminder is generated. Two weeks before, a text reminder is sent with a link to book online. Patients who don't book within 30 days get a final reminder.

The Challenge

Why building a Optometry from scratch is hard

Building a Optometry Practice Management System from scratch requires months of development time and significant engineering resources. Teams struggle to coordinate frontend, backend, database, and authentication while managing optometry-specific business logic, integrations, and role-based access rules.

What's Included

Everything your Optometry needs

ProjectCode generates a production-ready Optometry with all the modules your team needs from day one.

Patient eye exam records with refraction and visual acuity

Prescription management and frame/lens order integration

Optical dispensary POS with eyewear inventory

Insurance billing with vision plan coordination

Recall scheduling for annual exams

Digital slit lamp and retinal imaging attachment

Frame inventory management with supplier ordering

Practice metrics: exam volume, frame sales, insurance collections

Architecture

How it's built

The generated Optometry follows production-grade architecture patterns.

React 18 + TypeScript frontend with role-based dashboards tailored for optometry workflows

NestJS REST API with dedicated optometry modules, DTOs, validators, and service layer

PostgreSQL relational schema with normalized tables for all optometry entities

JWT + Google OAuth authentication with granular permission gates per role

Real-time Socket.IO events for live optometry status updates and notifications

Managed hosting with one-click deploy, custom domain, and auto-SSL

Database

PostgreSQL schema designed for Optometry

ProjectCode generates a normalized, indexed PostgreSQL schema with the right tables and relationships for your use case. You own the schema and can evolve it freely.

patients (id, name, dob, insurance jsonb, exam_history jsonb, recall_date, workspace_id)
exams (id, patient_id, doctor_id, date, od_rx jsonb, os_rx jsonb, diagnosis jsonb, plan, iop, visual_acuity jsonb)
prescriptions (id, patient_id, exam_id, od jsonb, os jsonb, add_power, prism, issued_at, expires_at)
frame_orders (id, patient_id, prescription_id, frame_sku, lens_type, tint, coatings jsonb, total, status, lab_id)

FAQ

Common questions about building a Optometry

The refraction exam captures sphere, cylinder, axis, and add power for each eye (OD and OS), plus prism if applicable. These values store as a structured JSON object linked to the exam record and auto-populate the prescription when issued.
