We value your partnership and remain committed to supporting OfficeMate® and ExamWRITER®. We recognize that you rely on these solutions to run your businesses and want the flexibility to modernize on your own timeline—so when you're ready, we'll be here.
When exploring alternatives to OfficeMate and ExamWRITER, consider Eyefinity Encompass. With a deep understanding of both platforms, we've helped several practices successfully transition. While the cloud is different, we've intentionally worked to build some of your favorite features into Eyefinity Encompass, plus new capabilities that extend past those of OfficeMate and ExamWRITER.
From pulling bulk VSP® eligibilities and authorizations to AI-assisted documentation, building eyeglass orders on any device, and more you’re sure to love what Eyefinity Encompass has to offer.
Server-based software like OfficeMate comes with a whole host of additional costs. Both onsite and cloud-hosted servers are less secure, making them more susceptible to a data breach and potential data loss. This can cost more than just money; it can cost you your patients’ trust.
Additionally, as servers age, they become more susceptible to downtime, potentially costing your practice hundreds of dollars per minute.1
While new features are great, we know you don’t want to miss out on what you currently have in OfficeMate. This is why we've brought over scheduler templates to the cloud so you now have one more feature you know and love, plus the added benefits only the cloud can provide.

When OfficeMate and ExamWRITER were first introduced in the 80’s, server-based software was the best you could get. Then Eyefinity Practice Management and Eyefinity EHR cloud-based software came along in 2014 and evolved into Eyefinity Encompass® in 2024. Cloud-based software has allowed us to continue to provide updates that reflect your needs as they evolve. We’ve even taken some of your favorite OfficeMate features and brought them to the cloud.
