What it is

The optical counter — prescriptions to quotes to lab orders to collection, with stock and margins in the same view. Colour vision: a test recorded by the named test it used (Ishihara 24- or 38-plate, Farnsworth D-15, Hardy-Rand-Rittler, an anomaloscope or another named test), each eye or both, the plates read correctly out of those shown and the tester’s interpretation by that test’s manual; a numbered certificate states that result for a job, a driving licence or another purpose. No plate is shown or stored, and a recorded test is never edited — a retest is a new one.

How it works

Keep the board and the catalogueOn The board and the catalogue, Add frame with brand, model and price; Add lens with its name, type (single vision, bifocal, progressive or office), material (CR39, polycarbonate, high index or glass) and price. A frame or lens already on the board is refused. Repricing never reaches a job already raised — every order carries its own price snapshot.
Raise a job sheetOn Raise a job sheet, find the patient, pick the Frame… and Lens…, the lab and the expected date, and type the prescription — sph, cyl and axis for R and L. A job sheet carries exactly one prescription source, a cylinder without an axis is refused, and so are numbers outside anything an eye can be.
Send to lab, receive, hand overOn the open job, Send to lab with the lab and the date promised; Received from lab when it comes back; Hand over with the fitting note — what was adjusted on the face. Overdue at the lab lists jobs past the date promised, and Ready for collection lists what is on the shelf waiting for its owner.
Order a remakeOn a received or collected job, the remake reason and Order a remake; remakes are listed under the job they came from. Print Rx prints the prescription on the job.
Test colour vision and certify itOn Colour vision, record a test with the named test used, the eye, the plates read of those shown and your interpretation by that test’s manual. Press the test to issue a numbered certificate for a job or a licence, and print it.

Rules it keeps

What it does not do, by design. A listing with only benefits is an advertisement.

It does not alter the clinical prescription — dispensing variance is recorded as its own fact.

It does not decide whether a colour-vision result disqualifies anyone: the certificate states the result, and the employer or licensing body applies its own standard.
