  • Publication number: 20130231941
    Abstract: A system and method for automated optical dispensing includes a mobile client device configured to receive a frame selection, collect measurements based on an image of a patient, and receive a lens selection. Based on the parameters of the frame selection the mobile client device determines a position of a prescription within the lens selection. The mobile client device also runs a compatibility verification to determine if the frame selection and the lens selection are compatible, and submits an order to a manufacturer for the frame selection and the lens selection when the frame selection and the lens selection are compatible. The mobile client device may also create and submit claims to an insurance clearing house for professional services and contact lens products and services when applicable.
