OptiExpert™ vs Myopia

OptiExpert™ is a free, multifunctional and multilingual app which has been designed to help eye care professionals deliver the best possible service to their patients who are contact lens wearers. Prescription Calculator Makes the fitting process for patients simpler and more efficient. Quickly calculate and evaluate myopic, hyperopic, astigmatic and presbyopic prescriptions, select lenses and save chair time. ToriTrack™ Accurately calculates rotation-adjusted next-lens options and provides a reliable, precise recommendation so you can fine-tune/refine each toric fit. Designed to be simple to use, it makes over-refractions easy, helping you quickly get patients into their optimal toric lens. Axial Length Estimator Can be used to help eye care professionals better understand the significance of ocular axial lengths. Cost Comparison Calculator This function clearly shows your patients the cost of upgrading their lenses. By simply selecting details from the dropdowns and adding the retail value of the products being compared by the eye care professionals, the calculator will demonstrate the difference in cost per wear, cost per week and cost per month. Efron Grading Scale Provides a simple reference for grading the severity of contact lens complications; aiding tissue change comparisons and helping patients understand the importance of their practitioner’s recommendations. Based on the traditional ‘Efron Grading Scale’, the app converts this information into an easy-to-use digital tool, which is always on-hand. It allows practitioners to grade patients against 16 sets of images and covers the key anterior ocular complications of contact lens wear. The conditions are illustrated in five stages of increasing severity from 0–4, with traffic light colour banding from green (normal) to red (severe), providing a straightforward and efficient aid for the optical professional. Available in 17 languages, OptiExpert™ enables practitioners to control what is shown to the patient so they only see the conditions and severity that is relevant to them. A visual representation of their condition also helps patients understand the importance of their ECP’s recommendations, such as upgrading to a silicone hydrogel contact lens to improve clinical signs of hypoxia or the importance of adhering to contact lens wearing schedules. Additional benefits of the app include the ability to securely store images of the patient’s eye condition - facilitating easy comparison to other images on the scale to aid accurate grading. Practitioners are able to add their own comments following each patient evaluation, allowing a comprehensive record to be compiled of each individual’s condition and any treatment prescribed. OptiExpert™ is an educational tool. Eye care professionals may choose to use the app as part of their patient evaluation. OptiExpert™ is not intended as and does not constitute medical or optometric advice and eye care professionals should rely on their own expertise.

The 'Myopia Calculator' App is designed to bridge the gap between research data and the end user. The tool shows the various management options / scenarios and demonstrates the possible benefits, over time, of starting to treat myopia progression. The 'Myopia Calculator' App is a tool that helps eye care practitioners, individuals, patients and parents to apply the research based evidence for various management options and enables the practitioner to demonstrate and discuss ‘risk versus benefit’ for individual cases. The calculator is available in four languages – English, Romanian, French and Russian. You can now choose your preferred language and switch between languages at any time. The 'Myopia Calculator' App can be used to estimate the annual progression of myopia, showing the approximate refractive error that will result with and without myopia management. This is calculated using the patient’s: 1. Age; 2. Refractive error; 3. Family factor; 4. Annual gradient of progression of myopia (D/Year); 5. Myopia management option; 6. Patient's ocular length. The estimated annual progression is calculated using data from PhD thesis of PhD MD Rodica Bilba with the theme 'TREATMENT EFFICIENCY AND PROPHYLAXIS PROGRESSION OF UNCOMPLICATED ACQUIRED MYOPIA '. The materials presented in the thesis are the result of their own research and scientific achievements and patented by the Inventor Patent at the State Agency of Intellectual Property of the Republic of Moldova number 39 on March 3, 2009. Using the “estimated annual progression without management” as a comparison, the calculator can be used to determine the extent to which the risk of annual progression can be reduced with a specific myopia control strategy. The study in order to identify the most effective method in the treatment and prophylaxis of myopia progression was performed during the years 2007-2013 by PhD MD Rodica Bilba at the Department of Ophthalmology of IP USMF "Nicolae Testemitanu"; the results of scientific research were implemented at the Medical Center "OculusPrim" in Chisinau, Moldova. starting with 2010.
