Prescribing workflow
Itch is the tell — here’s the script, built for you.
OptoGuide™ takes allergic conjunctivitis from presentation to a ready-to-sign prescription — the drug and directions pre-fill from the condition, you add the patient, and nothing is stored.
Structured for Australian optometry practice. Clinically reviewed by Dr Ankit Mathur, PhD, Grad Cert Ocu Thera, B.S. Optom.
Clinical decision support only
Red flags — assess urgently before anything else
Itch with papillae and watery discharge fits allergy, but these features support escalation or same-day review if the cornea is involved.
- Pain, photophobia, or reduced vision.
- Contact lens wear with redness or discomfort.
- A unilateral severe presentation or corneal staining.
- Atypical recurrence or a picture not fitting simple conjunctivitis.
One connected workflow, not separate lookups
Recognition, management, prescribing, and referral usually live in different tools. In OptoGuide™ they are one path — each step hands off to the next so the decision keeps moving.
Step 1
Triage the presentation and findings
Start from the presenting complaint, then the findings — here an itch-predominant conjunctivitis pattern with papillae and watery discharge — using signs rather than discharge alone.
- Itch is the discriminating symptom for the allergic pattern.
- Separate uncomplicated allergy from corneal involvement early.
- Document laterality, itch, and discharge clearly.
Step 2
Confirm the first-line management
Open the condition for structured guidance — an optometrist-managed allergic conjunctivitis, with the first-line topical management presented at the point of decision.
- Optometrist-led management is framed within your scope and endorsement.
- Escalation cues stay visible alongside the management plan.
Step 3
Build the prescription
The first-line drug and directions pre-fill from the condition. You add the patient at the point of care — nothing is stored, and the PDF is generated on-device.
- Drug and directions carry through from the condition, so you review rather than retype.
- Patient details are entered locally and never leave the browser (DEC-007 / DEC-008).
Step 4
Generate the script
OptoGuide™ prepares the prescription — prescriber, patient, drug, and directions filled — ready to print and sign. Dosing and review travel with the drug.
- A print-ready PDF, generated client-side.
- You confirm quantity and repeats; the clinician reviews, signs, and follows up.
- OptoGuide supports the workflow — it does not diagnose, prescribe, or verify prescribing authority.

Clinical basis
This guidance reflects standard optometric clinical reasoning based on:
- Australian optometry clinical practice patterns
- Australian medicines regulation and PBS prescribing context
- Common ophthalmology referral standards
- Evidence-based clinical training and practice
