Eyecare Business, Q2 2026

A neutral second opinion on your optical, from someone with nothing else to sell.

Most optical reports come from someone with something to sell: a lab, a frame company, a buying group or a financing program. This one doesn't. FrameRate Optical sells no frames, lenses or financing, so the advice never favors a brand or a rep.

Every number comes with its formula, and every benchmark with its source and a last-checked date. It matters more now: glasses volume fell 6% in a year while dollar value rose 16%, so every walkout costs more than it used to.

What the Check Shows

Money first, then three rated benchmarks, each on a plain three-band bar: Below typical, Typical, Top-practice level.

In dollars

Walkouts

Revenue left on the table compared with a 75% capture rate, and how much of it is gross profit.

In dollars

Frames With No Sale

The wholesale cost of frames that haven't sold in a year, and the cash a right-sized board would free.

Your next step

Fix This First

The one or two leaks with the most money behind them, each with a plain action you can start Monday.

Rated

Capture Rate

Complete pairs sold for every glasses prescription you write. 60% to 75% is typical; 75% and up is top-practice level.

Rated

Frame Turnover

How many times your frame board sells through in a year. The median is 1.8 turns; 3 and up is top-practice level.

Rated

Dead Stock

The share of frames with no sale in 12 months or more. Under 15% is top-practice level. Remake rate is shown, never rated.

How It Works

Pull last year's numbers from your practice management reports. Estimates are fine; you can mark them.

01

Type eight yearly totals

Prescriptions, pairs sold, average sale, and a few numbers about your frame board. Three short steps.

02

See it in dollars

Walkouts and frames with no sale in a year, then capture, turnover and dead stock against industry estimates.

03

Fix one thing first

The leak with the most money behind it, and a plain next step you can start on Monday.

Why Practices Trust It

  • We sell nothing else

    No frames, lenses or financing, so the advice doesn't favor any brand or rep.

  • The math is shown

    Every number comes with its formula, and every benchmark with its source and a last-checked date.

  • No patient data, ever

    Yearly or monthly totals only. Nothing that identifies a patient, so there's nothing to sign.

  • Nothing to install

    No EHR integration and no IT help. Type a few totals, or upload a CSV your system already makes.

Your Last 12 Months

Step 1 of 3

Exams and Sales

Most practice management systems have these on one yearly sales report.

Don't know? Use your comprehensive exams and tick the box below. Capture will read a little low, never high.

Your Frame Board

From your inventory report. Count frames, not styles.

Left blank, we use $65, the median in the MBA survey, and mark it as an estimate.

Frames still on the board that haven't sold in a year.

Remakes

Optional. A rough count from your remake log or lab invoices is fine.

Leave it blank if you don't track remakes yet.

Everything is calculated in your browser. We store only the totals you type, and only if you ask for the report. Never anything about patients. Your data is never sold. Privacy details.

The Optical Tracker · Paid

Your Optical, Every Week

The Health Check looks back at a year. The tracker makes it a light weekly habit, a few seconds per remake and one Monday huddle, and adds what most practices never see: what remakes cost and why they happen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you need patient data?

No, never. The Health Check and the tracker use yearly or monthly totals only, such as pairs sold and frames on the board. Nothing that identifies a patient.

What if my numbers look bad?

That's the point of a second opinion, and nobody sees them but you. The bands compare you with rough industry estimates, not with your neighbors, and every result comes with one practical next step.

Where do the benchmarks come from?

Published industry estimates from trade sources, listed under How We Calculate below with a last-checked date. They aren't official statistics. Remake rate has no public benchmark yet, so we show your number without a rating.

How much time does the tracker take?

Very little. Opticians log lab jobs and remakes as they happen, in a few seconds each. Once a month, type a handful of totals from your practice management reports, or import your frame inventory from a CSV. The Monday Huddle pulls it all onto one screen for a short team meeting.

Does it connect to my EHR?

No integration is needed. You type a few totals, or upload a CSV your system already produces. Nothing to install and no IT help.

Who's behind FrameRate Optical?

Someone who works in eye care and is building this with independent practices. We sell no frames, lenses or financing, so we have no reason to steer you toward any brand.

What does it cost, and can I cancel?

The Health Check is free. The Optical Tracker is $99 a month for one location, or $149 for the first location and $79 for each additional one, with no setup fee and no contract. Cancel anytime.
