Free Optical Health Check for Independent Practices
A Second Opinion for Your Optical
Eight totals from last year's reports. Five minutes. You get a dollar figure, three plain benchmarks and the one thing to fix first.
No patient data, ever. Calculated in your browser. The Health Check is free; the monthly tracker is a paid plan.

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.
Walkouts
Revenue left on the table compared with a 75% capture rate, and how much of it is gross profit.
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.
Fix This First
The one or two leaks with the most money behind them, each with a plain action you can start Monday.
Capture Rate
Complete pairs sold for every glasses prescription you write. 60% to 75% is typical; 75% and up is top-practice level.
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.
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.
Type eight yearly totals
Prescriptions, pairs sold, average sale, and a few numbers about your frame board. Three short steps.
See it in dollars
Walkouts and frames with no sale in a year, then capture, turnover and dead stock against industry estimates.
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 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.
