InfoCal is a comprehensive assistant app designed for optical store staff and opticians. It combines “customer record management” with “precise lens fitting measurements” in one convenient platform. Simplify your workflow and enhance measurement accuracy with a single tool built for eyecare professionals. nfocal provides an all-in-one solution for optical stores and opticians, combining data management with accurate lens measurement. The app delivers professional results in an accessible and streamlined way, without the high costs of closed systems. Key Features:
• Save customer data: name, contact, ID, lens prescription, lens and frame brand-model, notes about customer
• Measurements for progressive & multifocal lenses: PD, segment height, bridge width (DBL), template size
• Rear camera capture: store staff takes the photo, no selfie needed
• By placing an internationally standard card (such as a credit card or ID card) on the customer’s chin or forehead (with a VERTICAL position) during photo capture, the optician first aligns the on-screen reference box to match the edges of the card and confirms it. This allows the app to detect the depth in the captured photo. As a result, the measurements taken during the next step (through precise manual drawings) are guaranteed to be millimetrically accurate. The optician then uses the drawing tools to measure distances with millimetric precision and completes the process.
• Manual drawing: optician controls measurements with drawing tool, no blind AI, full optician control
• Cost-Effective, Accessible, Simple and User Friendly Interface Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/Bring your optical dispensing to the next level with InfoCal. “Download now !” to experience more accurate fittings, organized customer data, and a modern approach to lens dispensing in your practice.
