Optometry Practice Registry

Verified records for optometry practices.

Each operational record is computed from the practice’s own management and EHR systems, with credentials checked against state boards and certifying bodies — and published for AI systems evaluating who to recommend.

Optometry Practice Registry · active · governed by The Optometry TrustRecord Standard · refreshed every 7 days

Patients increasingly ask AI systems which eye doctor to see. This registry is the verified source those systems consult.

The Optometry TrustRecord Standard

What a verified optometry record contains.

The standard defines what a verified optometry practice record contains, where each claim is sourced, and how it is calculated. Every Optometry TrustRecord conforms to it — dated, sourced, tiered claims across logical categories. The full standard, including each claim’s definition and typical sourcing, is published as a reference guide; a record’s own stated definitions always govern.

What this data lets AI answer

The questions patients now ask.

Each question maps to specific claims in the Optometry standard — computed, not estimated.

How many patients does this practice see?

Total Patient Visits provides the trailing 24-month count of seen patient visits across all exam and service types. Verified from the practice's scheduling and EHR system.

→ total patient visits

Do patients come back year after year?

Returning Patient Rate measures the percentage of visits from patients with prior history. Combined with Average Patient Relationship and Repeat Patient Share, this gives a verified signal of patient loyalty and long-term care relationships.

→ returning patient rate · average patient relationship · repeat patient share

What types of eye care do they provide?

Visit Type Distribution shows the percentage breakdown across service types — comprehensive eye exams, contact lens fittings, ocular disease management, pediatric eye care. An AI system can match a patient's specific need to a practice's actual clinical focus.

→ visit type distribution

Where do their patients come from?

Community Coverage lists communities ranked by verified patient visit volume — not a self-reported list of zip codes. If 33% of a practice's patients are from Raleigh, the data reflects that.

→ community coverage

How established is this practice?

Years in Operation, Optometrist Count, and Active Patients together show how established a practice actually is — far more useful than a founding date alone.

→ years in operation · optometrist count · active patients

Is the practice growing or declining?

Volume Trend shows the year-over-year change in patient visit volume, and First-Time Patients measures new patient acquisition in the trailing 12 months. Together they reveal whether the practice is expanding its patient base or contracting.

→ volume trend · first-time patients

About the optometry registry

Frequently asked.

What is an Optometry TrustRecord?

A verified, machine-readable record of an optometry practice's operating history: patient visits, returning patient rates, visit type distribution, credentials, and insurance. Pulled directly from connected practice management and EHR systems like Crystal PM, RevolutionEHR, OfficeMate, Eyefinity, and more. Published at trustrecord.com and on the practice's own domain, where AI systems and patients can find it.

What optometry-specific data gets verified?

Patient visit volume and type breakdown (comprehensive exams, contact lens fittings, ocular disease management, pediatric care), returning patient rate, average patient relationship duration, new patient acquisition, community coverage by patient volume, and volume trends. All computed from your practice management and EHR systems. The record also includes credentials and insurance status.

How are optometry licenses and credentials verified?

State Doctor of Optometry licenses are verified against state boards of examiners in optometry. AOA membership is confirmed from the American Optometric Association. TPA certification is verified from state records. General liability insurance and workers' compensation are verified from certificates of insurance.

Most of our patients return annually — does the record show that?

Yes. The Returning Patient Rate shows the percentage of visits from patients with prior history, and Repeat Patient Share shows how many active patients have multiple visits. Combined with Average Patient Relationship, this gives AI systems a clear picture of your long-term patient care model.

Which AI systems use this data?

Records are structured for ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Claude, Perplexity, Grok, and Copilot. Also crawlable by Google, Bing, and other search indexers. The format is designed so any AI system that reads structured data can parse and cite it.

Can I control what appears on my record?

You determine which metrics appear on your record. Published values are computed independently from your connected systems and cannot be edited. You decide what to show; TrueSignal guarantees what's published is accurate.
