Custom AI agentsWe build and run an agent for one jobPricingAboutBlogTen AI tools an optometry practice can use in 2026, from exam-room scribes to phone answering, with prices read on each vendor page, who each fits, and one honest limit for each.
Checked October 26, 2026. Prices were read on each vendor's own pricing page. Several tools (Eyenuk, Podium, Heidi's paid plans, EncompassScribe on its own) do not publish a price; we say so. Prices change: re-check before you buy. Dooza Crew is our product and our top pick for the practice's back office; we say why, and where the others fit better.
For the exam room, start with the AI scribe in your own software: RevolutionEHR AI Scribe (included at no additional charge for practices using the exam module) or Eyefinity's EncompassScribe. For the back office, our top pick is Dooza Crew: AI employees that handle web-based busywork around the practice, $49 a month for the whole organization, and it asks before it sends anything. For phones, Smith.ai, Dialzara or Weave. For one specific screening job, Eyenuk. Clinical decisions stay with you.
We found no recent association survey of optometry practices, so here is the best primary source: a Journal of Optometry study of 400 optometrists. It reports that "Most respondents reported familiarity with AI (66.8%)." It adds that "half of optometrists had concerns about the diagnostic accuracy of AI (53.0%)" while "most believed it would improve the practice of optometry (72.0%)".
The survey was published in 2022, so it measures attitudes, not how many practices use AI today. The pattern still matches the market: the scribes and phone tools below help with paperwork and calls, and the diagnostic tool is narrow and clinician-led.

Crew gives a practice AI agents for the web-based busywork around the exam room. Each agent has its own computer and browser and its own job, works around the clock, and works with your team in one chat. Agents can pass work to each other. Before it sends an email or clicks Send, Submit or Pay, it asks you to Approve, Edit or Reject.
There is no Dooza page for optometry, so here are example jobs, written as things you could try. You could give one agent the job of researching frame and lens suppliers on their websites and drafting a comparison for you to read. You could give another the job of drafting replies to your online reviews, which you approve before anything posts. You could give a third the job of filling a fillable PDF or Excel form you upload, such as a vendor or supplier application.

RevolutionEHR says "AI Scribe listens to the OD–patient encounter and transcribes spoken findings during the exam." The AI then turns those findings into structured exam data in the encounter screens.
Eyefinity describes EncompassScribe as "AI-assisted documentation, built into Eyefinity Encompass". It suggests structured notes and billing codes, and every suggestion is "only finalized when you approve it".
Heidi's pricing page shows a Free plan with unlimited transcription and standard templates, plus an evidence tool with cited answers. The Clinician plan offers "Try 14 days free".
Freed's page says "Affordable plans starting at $39/mo". It has specialty templates and pushes notes to browser-based EHRs on its higher plans.
Eyenuk calls itself "The first and only FDA 510(k)-cleared autonomous AI that detects vision-threatening diabetic retinopathy." It lists optometry among its users and is "Compatible with multiple camera models from major camera manufacturers". Those are the vendor's claims.
Weave's pricing page says "simple plans and pricing, starting from $199 per month". Its Call Intelligence feature, labeled new, uses AI to help turn more calls into appointments, and its integrations list includes optometry.
Smith.ai offers 24/7 AI call answering, recordings and summaries, lead qualification and routing, and scheduling.
Dialzara's AI receptionist takes messages with custom questions and transfers calls to your team.
Podium says "Meet Jerry, your all-in-one AI employee who sells, schedules, and communicates with customers day and night".
Most practices do not need all ten. A practical way to sort them: match the tool to the hours you lose.
One more honest note on cost: the cheapest option is not always the one that saves time. A $0 plan with a per-call charge can cost more in a busy month than a flat plan, and an EHR-included scribe costs nothing extra but only works inside that EHR. Add up a normal month before you commit.

For the exam room, use the scribe inside your own software: RevolutionEHR includes AI Scribe at no additional charge for practices using the exam module, and Eyefinity offers EncompassScribe. For the back-office jobs around the practice, our top pick is Dooza Crew (our product): AI employees with their own computer and browser, $49 a month for the whole organization after a 7-day free trial, and it asks before it sends anything. For phones, look at Smith.ai, Dialzara or Weave.
Yes, two are built into optometry software. RevolutionEHR says AI Scribe converts spoken findings into structured exam data, and the provider reviews and approves all captured data before saving the chart. Eyefinity says every note and billing code suggestion in EncompassScribe is only finalized when you approve it. General scribes such as Heidi (free plan) and Freed (from $39/mo) also exist but are not optometry-specific.
Prices we read on October 26, 2026: RevolutionEHR AI Scribe is included for practices using the exam module; Eyefinity Encompass starts at $340/month (Essential) or $758/month (Enhanced) for one location and one doctor; Freed starts at $39/mo; Weave starts from $199 per month; Smith.ai has a $0 plan and a $150/mo plan; Dialzara runs $29 to $349 a month. Eyenuk and Podium do not publish prices. Dooza Crew is $49 a month after a free 7-day trial.
Some tools screen for one condition. Eyenuk says EyeArt is FDA 510(k)-cleared autonomous AI for vision-threatening diabetic retinopathy and needs a compatible retinal camera. Clinical decisions stay with the optometrist. Dooza Crew is not a licensed optometrist and does not make clinical decisions.
Smith.ai has a free plan with 25 calls a month and $3.00 per call after that. Dialzara has a 7-day free trial. Neither page we read names optometry software, so test with your own phone setup. Dooza Crew agents also take phone calls, included in the plan, with a 7-day free trial (card required).
No. Crew does not claim HIPAA compliance, so keep patient health information out of it. Use it for jobs that do not need patient records, such as supplier research, reminders about your own business tasks and drafting website or review replies for you to approve.
