Filopto Help Manual

 

The Ophthalmic Lenses sections allows the user to view, enter or modify prescriptions for a patient. All prescriptions entered are classified by type and stored from the most recent to the oldest.

 

Prescription: The prescription section provides an easy way of viewing quickly the various prescriptions of a patient. Note that all prescriptions are kept in the database and you can view them by selecting the View/Edit drop down button located in the grid to view each prescription.

IMPORTANT:

 

Rx Expiry Date:  allows users to expire/cancel the use of a specific prescription.  By entering an expiry date prior to the creation date will cause the Prescription not be accessible.  By placing a date in the future will expire the prescription on the date chosen.

 

 

By default, Filopto presents the most recent prescription. Each prescription is dated and the issuing Doctor is identified. You may enter prescriptions by choosing the + navigation button located on the toolbar; you may also select the edit button to modify a prescription. Don't forget to click on the check mark located on the toolbar to Save you changes.

 

The prescriptions entered into Filopto are all linked together; therefore, you can enter a prescription at several places in the system (exam, dispensing or patient file) and they are all stored in the patient file based on the prescription number and date the prescription was issued.

 

The Filopto administrator can define prescription fields that are required to be entered before a prescription is saved.  If any fields have been defined as mandatory they are colored in Yellow (see System settings  EMR-Required Fields).

 

Users can print the displayed prescription by using the Print Rx button.

FREE-FORMS LENSES:/ High Definitions Lenses / Digitally surfaced lenses

 

The term "free-form" refers to an advanced manufacturing process that reduces higher-order aberrations such as spherical aberration that occur in eyeglass lenses created with traditional eyeglass lens manufacturing tools and processes.  Free-form technology can surface lenses in power increments of 0.01 diopter (D), compared with 0.125 to 0.25 D increments of conventional eyeglass lens tooling. Filopto supports precisions up to 0.0001.
