Sight test records and GOC compliance.

Your practice management software handles appointments and optical orders. Nobody handles the compliance trail the GOC expects: sight test records, contact lens aftercare, dispensing documentation, clinical audit. OpticPad handles all of it.

16,000

Opticians' practices in the UK. The GOC sets standards for record-keeping, clinical governance, and continuing education. Fitness-to-practise cases often start with documentation failures.

10 years

Sight test records must be retained for a minimum of 10 years. Contact lens records likewise. Paper records deteriorate, get lost, or fill entire storage rooms.

CET

GOC requires continuing education and training points per registration cycle. Missing CET points risks suspension from the register. Tracking points across multiple providers is the challenge.

Without OpticPad

  • Sight test records stored on paper cards in filing cabinets
  • Contact lens fitting and aftercare notes inconsistent across clinicians
  • Dispensing records not linked to the sight test or prescription
  • CET points tracked manually across multiple providers
  • GOC compliance evidence assembled reactively before registration renewal

With OpticPad

  • Digital sight test record per patient with full clinical history
  • Structured CL fitting and aftercare per patient with follow-up scheduling
  • Dispensing record linked to prescription and sight test
  • CET portfolio with points, activities, and evidence per cycle
  • GOC compliance self-assessment with evidence from live data

Nine features. One subscription.

Everything the GOC checks when they visit.

Sight Test Records

Per-patient digital record. Reason for visit, clinical findings, refraction, advice given. 10-year retention. Searchable archive.

Contact Lens Fitting

Structured CL record per patient. Lens type, parameters, wearing schedule, aftercare notes. Follow-up scheduling with reminders.

Dispensing Records

Per-dispensing record linked to prescription. Frame, lens type, measurements, special requirements. Full traceability from test to collection.

Equipment Calibration

Phoropter, autorefractor, tonometer, retinal camera, OCT. Calibration dates and next-due alerts. Evidence of properly maintained clinical equipment.

CET Portfolio

Points, activities, and evidence per CET cycle. Track across multiple providers. Always know your CET status before the deadline.

Clinical Audit

Structured audit templates. Referral accuracy, prescribing patterns, patient outcomes. Evidence of reflective clinical practice.

Complaint Handling

Patient complaint log with response deadlines, investigation tracking, and outcome recording. Professional complaints process evidence.

GOC Registration Prep

AI-generated self-assessment against GOC standards for optometrists and dispensing opticians. Records, training, calibration, audit. Readiness score.

Phone, SMS and WhatsApp

AI-generated call scripts. Outbound SMS and WhatsApp reminders. Inbound call logging with voicemail transcription. Automated bulk reminders for sight test reminders, contact lens reorder prompts, and appointment confirmation calls. No other optician compliance tool has built-in telephony.

Frequently asked questions

Does it replace our practice management software?

No. Your practice management software handles appointments and optical orders. OpticPad handles the clinical compliance documentation your PMS does not touch: sight test records, CL fitting, calibration, and GOC prep.

Does it handle both optometrists and dispensing opticians?

Yes. OpticPad supports both roles with appropriate record templates and GOC standards for each.

How long does it retain records?

OpticPad retains records for as long as you need them. The system supports the 10-year minimum retention required for sight test records.

Can I export my data?

Yes. CSV and PDF export on all plans. Your data is yours. Cancel any month and take everything with you.

OpticPad is an administrative tool. It generates compliance documentation for GOC-registered professional review. It does not provide clinical or optical advice. The registered professional always signs off.
