About
CLAIRE is the leading AI-powered platform specifically designed for Eye Care Professionals (ECPs) managing specialty contact lenses. The platform aggregates solutions across three major clinical areas: myopia management, presbyopia, and irregular cornea fitting — addressing the reality that 88% of ECPs find specialty lens management time-consuming and 84% find it technically difficult. At its core, CLAIRE provides an intuitive suite of premium web-based apps that guide practitioners through the entire contact lens fitting process. These apps deliver real-time educational tips, automate complex calculations, and help clinicians select the right patients for specialty lenses — reducing the risk of errors and future complications. A treatment traceability module supports patient follow-up and enables lens adjustments over time. The platform also includes a direct lens ordering feature integrated with suppliers, eliminating the need for separate procurement steps. By reducing reliance on manufacturer technical support (a pain point for 57% of ECPs), CLAIRE saves clinicians time and operational costs while expanding their clinical portfolio and improving patient satisfaction. CLAIRE operates on a flexible payment model and supports partnerships with contact lens manufacturers and distributors in high-growth segments. It is ideal for optometry clinics, ophthalmology practices, and specialty lens providers looking to modernize their fitting workflows with AI-driven decision support.
