Lenzic vs Optisoft: Optical Practice Software Compared (2026)

Short answer

Optisoft is modular practice software built for independent UK opticians, with direct NHS eGOS submission and pay-per-module pricing. Lenzic is cloud software for optical stores and clinics in any English-speaking market, with an AI assistant (Lenzi), AI product intake from a photo, a prescription-based lens filter and WooCommerce sync. If eGOS is essential, choose Optisoft. If you want less admin and faster selling, try Lenzic.

What an optical store or clinic needs from software

Whether you run a high-street shop in Manchester, a clinic in Toronto or a store in Dubai, the daily work is similar:

  • Patient records and prescriptions that are quick to find.
  • Appointments and online booking that keep the test room full.
  • POS and invoices at the counter.
  • Stock control for frames and lenses.
  • Fast dispensing: from prescription to the right lens.
  • Online sales that match what is on the shelf.
  • Less admin, because small teams have no IT department.

What Optisoft does well

According to Optisoft's official site:

  • Base system: patient records, advanced recall, email & SMS, eGOS, Rx history and to-do lists (source).
  • Add-on modules: appointments, cash, stock with barcoding, dispensing and clinical records, listed at £25 per module per month (source, pricing).
  • Hosting choice: local or cloud-managed with UK backup (source).
  • Unlimited users on unlimited PCs (source).
  • Direct eGOS submission, plus GDPR and Making Tax Digital readiness (source).
  • Onboarding: free data transfer, setup and training, with no long contract (source).

Optisoft is a mature UK tool. Its pay-for-what-you-use model suits small practices, and its eGOS integration is a clear advantage for NHS-contracted opticians.

What Lenzic adds

Lenzic is built around the optical counter: the moment a customer leaves the test room with a prescription and wants glasses.

Everyday essentials

  • Patient records and prescription history.
  • Appointments and online booking, with a QR code customers scan to book.
  • POS and invoices, repair registration and instalment sales.
  • Stock for frames, lenses and accessories.

Smart lens filter (Standard plan and up)

Enter the prescription and Lenzic suggests suitable lenses from the stock you actually have. A stock-based lens suggestion by prescription is not listed on Optisoft's official product pages.

WooCommerce sync (Professional plan)

Lenzic keeps products, stock and orders in sync with your WooCommerce store, so you never sell a frame online that has already left the shelf. Appointments are not part of the sync. A WooCommerce connection is not listed on Optisoft's official product pages.

Lenzi, the AI assistant

Type in plain English (or Persian) and Lenzi does the job:

  • Search patients, products and invoices.
  • Show a patient's file and balance.
  • Instant reports: "How much did we sell today?"
  • A daily summary, alerts and open tasks.
  • Bulk price changes by percentage, with a preview of the exact new prices and nothing changed until the manager confirms.
  • Set working hours and close booking days for holidays.
  • Find dead stock and draft a discount campaign for it.
  • Suggest names for frame collections by style.
  • Track AI token usage and cost, with a monthly cap.

Smart Intake AI and QR lookup

Photograph a frame box, barcode label or authenticity card. Lenzic fills in brand, model, colour code, temple and bridge size, material and country of origin. You can also scan the QR code on a box or paste a brand's product link to pull details into stock. AI product intake is not listed on Optisoft's official product pages.
