    Care plan creation to patient's phone in 20 seconds.

    Drops missed = inflammation up. Make sure they happen.

    How it works

    Three steps from OR to clear vision.

    01

    Pick an ophth template or import your own

    25+ ophth templates

    Pick from 25+ ophthalmology templates: cataract, LASIK, glaucoma surgery, retinal detachment, anti-VEGF injection, corneal transplant. Or drop in your own protocol PDF.

    02

    Customize the drop schedule and activity rules

    20s average

    Edit the drop schedule (taper, timing, eye), activity restrictions, and return-to-driving milestones. Your colors and logo are automatic.

    03

    Patient scans QR, gets the right drop at the right time

    0 downloads

    Hand them a printed QR card at discharge or send to their phone. Drop reminders fire on schedule. No app, no account, no missed doses at 6am.

    Patient View

    What your ophthalmology patient sees.

    Two ways to deliver the same care plan: scanned on a phone or handed to them at discharge. Branded, accessible, and built for recovery, not check-ins.

    Cura · The 11pm questions

    The five questions every ophthalmology patient asks at 11pm.

    These are the real questions Cura answers when your front desk is closed. Each one is grounded in your verified protocols and tagged to where the patient is in recovery.

    Why am I seeing halos at night?

    Halos around lights at week 1 after LASIK are typical and usually fade through month 3. Drive with sunglasses-clear glasses if useful. Persistent halos past month 6 are worth a re-check.

    Verified by your clinic
    Week 1 to 12
    When can I rub my eye?

    Hands away from the eye for the first 2 weeks. Itching is common; use the prescribed lubricating drops, not your knuckle. Eye shields at night for the first 7 nights.

    Verified by your clinic
    Week 1 to 2
    Is this dryness normal?

    Dry-eye sensation peaks at week 2 to 4 and improves over 3 to 6 months. Use preservative-free artificial tears 4 to 6 times daily. Add omega-3 if your provider said yes.

    Verified by your clinic
    Week 2 to 12
    When can I drive again?

    Most cataract patients drive at day 2 once vision settles and you pass the in-clinic check. LASIK varies; some are next day, others day 3. Defer to your post-op chart.

    Verified by your clinic
    Day 1 to 3
    Can I wear eye makeup?

    Skip eye makeup for the first 2 weeks. No mascara, no liner, no false lashes. Skincare around the eye area can resume day 7 if it doesn't get into the eye.

    Verified by your clinic
    Week 2

    Every answer is clinic-verified. Cura never invents a medication.

    The Science of Peak Relief

    The 5-star moment lands the day they read without glasses.

    The peak-end rule (Kahneman, Redelmeier): patients remember a recovery by its emotional peak. For ophth, the peak is the moment they see clearly without help. QR Rx fires the review prompt at 75% of the recovery window, while the new vision still feels new.

    01·Cataract

    “Reading the menu without glasses.”

    Day 4 of 7
    02·LASIK

    “First sunrise without contacts.”

    Day 1 of 2

    Why ophthalmology

    Built around the three things that drive ophth outcomes.

    From the first drop after surgery to the day they drive again, every gap is closed.

    01 · Drop adherence

    The right drop at the right time.

    30 to 40% of post-op cataract patients miss doses on the drop schedule. We send timed reminders by drop, by eye, with the taper visible day by day. Inflammation control improves. Outcomes match the protocol.

    02 · Activity clarity

    Yes to a shower. No to swimming.

    Day-by-day rules in plain English: when patients can shower, bend, swim, lift, fly. They stop calling to ask. Compliance goes up. Complications go down.

    03 · Return to driving

    When can I drive again?

    The plan shows the driving milestone for each procedure, set by you. Patients see the date and the conditions. They stop asking on day three. The DMV-grade clarity reduces the call burden.

    The cost of doing nothing

    What you lose every time drops get missed.

    The evidence

    Structured aftercare isn't a nicety. It's where outcomes and retention are decided.

    The days after a procedure are when patients forget instructions, drift from the plan, and quietly decide whether to come back. The literature on recall, adherence, and retention is consistent, and it points to the same intervention: timely, structured follow-up.

    40–80%1

    of the medical information a patient is given is forgotten almost immediately, and nearly half of what they do retain is recalled incorrectly.

    78%2

    of patients leave with an incomplete understanding of their care and discharge instructions, and most don't realize it.

    30–85%3

    more profit follows from improving customer retention by just 5%. Retention compounds, and the post-procedure window is where it's kept or lost.

    Why it works

    A day-aware care plan closes the recall gap, the patient has the right instruction at the right stage instead of a sheet they lost on day one. It keeps them engaged through the window where complications actually appear, and it gives your team a record of who is on track and who isn't, without anyone making a single phone call.

    Clinical proof point

    It reads what the patient reports, and flags your team

    When a patient checks in with a symptom, the system recognizes whether it matches a known warning pattern for that procedure at that stage, and quietly surfaces them to your in-app inbox with a short, clinic-facing reason. It is a heads-up, not a diagnosis, connecting the dots so your team decides the next move, before it becomes an after-hours call.

    Non-diagnostic by design. The clinic always decides.

Industry comparables run higher: aesthetic loyalty programs see 20-30% repeat-visit lift, dental recall reminder systems see 15-25%, reactivation email campaigns see 3-8% per send compounded across touchpoints. Your numbers will vary by specialty and implementation.

    Compared to what you have

    QR Rx vs. the patchwork stack.

    Most clinics run aftercare across email templates, a CRM, a review tool, and a clipboard. Here is what each layer costs you in time, leakage, and missed revenue.

    Frequently asked

    Ophthalmology questions, answered straight.

    My patients are mostly older. Will they use a QR code?
    Most older adults have used a QR code at a restaurant, pharmacy, or clinic check-in this year. They point a phone, type their date of birth, and the plan is on screen in ten seconds. The few who can't get the printed version too.
    Does it work with NextGen, ModMed, or Athena?
    NextGen and ModMed are in our pilot program. Athena, Epic, and other systems can use SMART on FHIR where supported or a QR Rx-approved secure webhook, CSV upload, or self-intake link.
    How does it handle the drop schedule?
    The drop schedule is built into the plan as timed reminders. Patients see the right drop at the right time, with the taper schedule visible day by day. Missed doses drop. Inflammation control improves.
    What about activity restrictions?
    Day-by-day rules in plain English: when they can shower, bend, swim, lift, or fly. The patient stops calling to ask. Compliance goes up.
    When-can-I-drive: how do you handle it?
    The plan shows the driving milestone for each procedure, set by you. The patient sees the date and the conditions (good vision in the operative eye, no eye patch, cleared at your follow-up, etc.). They stop calling on day three asking.
    Is QR Rx HIPAA compliant?
    Yes. BAA at signup. PHI encrypted in transit and at rest. Every view logged. Patients verify with QR plus PIN plus date of birth.
    How long does setup take?
    Under five minutes for the first care plan. Fifteen for the practice (logo, brand color, team, PMS link, starter templates). Most ophth practices send their first plan on day one.
    Can I customize my drop protocol?
    Every template is yours to edit. Drop schedule, activity rules, return-to-driving timeline, follow-up dates. Already have your protocols? Drop them in.
    What about a patient without a smartphone?
    Hand them the printed plan. Same schedule, same instructions, same emergency number.
    What does it cost?
    Nothing. We are picking a small group of clinics to build QR Rx with, and design partners do not pay. No card, no contract, nothing to cancel.

    Drops on schedule. Vision on schedule.
