Each group of users have their own access priviledges. The various functional modules of the system correspond to the user categories. The solution is provided as a web based application. The system can be easily customized for any Eye hospital/ clinic.

The major modules of the system are the Patient Registration Module, the Refraction Module for entering information about refraction tests, Doctor's Module and Personal Counseling / Report Generation Module. The Doctor's module helps doctors to enter patient's medical history/diagnosis/ advice/etc. This module also supports image drawing capability to record some of the observations with the help of an image and helps doctors to prescribe medicines/eye-glass and this record will be visible at pharmacy and optical center of the hospital. In addition, doctors can also navigate through patient's previous records (if he/she is a follow-up patient) and the various test results. The Personal Counseling/ Report Generation module helps to build a consolidated case sheet; including prescriptions, corresponding to a particular consultation.
