Many Optometrists are legally separate from the Dispensary. They operate a completely independent business from every standpoint. Practitioners like that want to own and maintain their own database of WINK, but they recognise the benefit to the Dispensary of sharing patient final Rx and they typically do so anyways (usually on paper). For OD’s like that, we’ve created Independent OD. Via Independent OD, you can maintain a completely separate database and only share the data you want to share with the Opticians you want to share it with.

YES! A different "store" (location) is created for the optometrist within the WINK database.
