AI for Ophthalmology
AI Documentation captures the patient conversation and drafts the note for your review, built for the way ophthalmology practices work.
Why providers choose AI Documentation
Reclaim the time lost to after-visit charting.
Built for ophthalmology
Understands ophthalmic terminology, exam structure, and subspecialty workflows.
OD and OS mapping
Findings are mapped by eye, so you're not re-entering or correcting them after the visit.
Built into the Optivate EHR
Launches directly from the patient chart and flows documentation into the correct fields.
You stay in control
Review, uncheck or edit anything. Nothing reaches the record until you click Apply to Visit.
Trusted by ophthalmology practices

FAQs
Yes, AI Documentation meets HIPAA requirements. Recording consent requirements vary by state, and your practice is responsible for reviewing its own state laws and obtaining consent as required.
Because the system records audio as spoken, PHI may be captured in the transcript and transmitted during processing. This data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and handled under our HIPAA-compliant, privacy-by-design framework with role-based access and a signed BAA.
No, recordings are deleted once the transcription is generated.
No. Patient data is never used to train models.
AI Documentation doesn’t add anything to a visit automatically. Providers are responsible for reviewing the AI-generated note and making corrections before or after applying it.
Any provider with AI Documentation activated on their profile, at a practice licensed for that tier.
