What an optical shop gets

• The prescription, per eye

  The prescription is a table per eye: sphere, cylinder, axis, add and prism.

  • It always reads left to right, because optical numbers are read that way in clinics
  • The ranges are enforced: an axis outside 1 to 180, or a sphere outside a realistic range, is refused as you type, not after the save
  • A cylinder without its axis means nothing, and a prism without its base direction means nothing either, so the database makes you fill the pair or leave both empty
  • Pupillary distance is recorded three ways, for both eyes together and for each eye alone, because a progressive lens needs each eye's figure

• Correcting a prescription without two live versions

  If you make a mistake, you open the correction link and the old values appear for fixing.

  • On save the old record is struck and linked to the new one in the same step
  • So there are never two live versions of one pair of eyes, and the history is one straight line
  • When a prescription has expired, an order is accepted only with a recorded override
  • Oman sets no legal validity period for a prescription, so the decision is the shop's own and stays on the record

• The spectacle order: frame and lens

  In a spectacle order you pick the spectacle prescription, the lens specification (design, material, coatings) and the frame, which comes from the catalogue or is typed as free text.

  • When the frame comes from the catalogue, the lab slip prints its measurements A, B, ED, DBL and the temple, which is what the lab needs for fitting
  • The stages follow a fixed path: Draft, At lab, Received (QC), Ready, Collected
  • If quality control fails, the order goes from Received (QC) back to At lab with a compulsory reason, each remake is counted, and the screen asks who pays for it: the lab, the shop or the customer

• Contact lenses and the wear schedule

  A contact lens prescription is its own record: base curve, diameter, brand and the wear schedule, daily, monthly and so on.

  • The schedule is what makes a replenishment reminder arithmetic instead of guesswork
  • A contact lens order cannot be created before a named fitter signs off the trial. That is a database rule, not a reminder on the screen
  • A lens order never asks for a frame or measurements, and its slip carries the lens facts themselves
  • Nizro refuses a lens order on a spectacle prescription, and the other way round

• The invoice, the deposit and insurance

  The quoted total on an order is what the customer pays, and VAT is included in it.

  • At handover the VAT is worked out from the total at your business's rate, and a tax invoice is issued
  • A deposit taken on the order is deducted from its invoice at handover
  • If the manager sets a minimum deposit, the order is not sent to the lab until it is taken
  • An insurance claim names what it pays for: you type the invoice number and the lab order number, and a number that matches nothing is refused with a clear message

• The shop floor: ready glasses, appointments and the customer file

  Ready frames and other items are sold at the till like any item, with stock and cost.

  • Eye test and collection appointments are booked on the appointments screen
  • The customer file gathers prescriptions, orders, invoices and payments
  • Every user has permissions and every action carries the name of the person who did it
