Austin, TX (Nov.10, 2004) VisionWeb, the online service that helps eyecare providers streamline their practices, and Optivision, Inc., a software company offering a complete ophthalmic laboratory management system, have teamed up to give optical suppliers and laboratories a more efficient method of processing orders.

This integration will allow all labs running Optivision software to send orders electronically to other VisionWeb O.N.E.-connected laboratories regardless of the management software the receiving laboratory is running. Optical laboratories running the Optivision software will have the ability to transfer spectacle lens orders to other labs in an automated electronic protocol, without the use of phone or fax. This is great news for the optical industry, because the more labs that are connected, the more orders that can be processed with greater efficiency, speed, and accuracy.

Mike O’Malley, CFO and VP of Business Development for VisionWeb said,” VisionWeb is happy to be working with Optivision and will be able to provide VisionWeb O.N.E. to all their labs. We’re continuing to add efficiencies to every aspect of the spectacle lens ordering and procurement process.”

Bruce Krymow of Marketing & Operations at Optivision, Inc. added, “Optivision takes pride in providing our ophthalmic laboratories with a management system that meets all the technical and management needs of the lab. Our integration with VisionWeb O.N.E. is another step in providing increased efficiencies for the optical laboratory.”

Connections with initial labs will be complete at the end of 2004 with remaining labs connecting in early 2005.
