Product: CLX-Compulink Integration
Top Line: CLX, a contact lens management and marketing system, is launching a system upgrade designed to enhance its current integration with practice management system Compulink.
Close Up: “The latest upgrade gives any Compulink practice the capability to provide their patients with mobile reorder capability,” said Jeremy Bono, CLX product manager. “Compulink users with CLX integration can place contact lens orders directly with a distributor of choice in their Compulink system. No double entry of orders is required. Weeks or months later, CLX automatically identifies any patients due to reorder based on the modality and quantity purchased, and sends emails and text messages with easy reorder links to purchase directly from the ECP.”
Vital Stats: CLX fully integrates with several other leading practice management systems, and offers a stand-alone service that enables ECPs to utilize CLX without a practice management system integration.

Product: Optical Profit Center
Top Line: Super Optical is launching the Optical Profit Center, an online tool that lets eyecare practitioners calculate the profits they can earn through a small lab set-up and dispensing area. ECPs can enter their own costs into the calculator and receive an accurate figure of what they can save and earn by adding lens surfacing to their practice.
Close Up: By using the Profit Calculator, ECPs can determine their monthly lens savings, monthly profit from retaining patients, and their potential additional monthly profit by installing Super Optical’s FastGrind in-office lens surfacing system. According to Super Optical, offices can generate up to $40,000 in additional profits annually by producing two digital progressives a day, one clear and one AR. The FastGrind system can be paid off in less than one year by using the same model, the company said, adding that FastGrind will save thousands of dollars on lab bills, attract more patients with faster service, allow for control of finished lens quality and increase patient satisfaction and referrals, the company said.
