What POS Software does for a eye clinic
A POS rings up each sale, takes M-Pesa and cash, prints a receipt and updates stock in one step. For a eye clinic, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
An eye clinic holds prescription glasses and contact lenses with custom prescriptions, so inventory by prescription matters more than by count. Eye clinic margins are strong on eyewear and treatments, but wholesale eyewear costs are high.
Insurance companies and corporate wellness programs expect detailed invoices per treatment and eyewear sold. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
Eye Clinics run differently, and the software should too
A generic till misses the details that decide whether a eye clinic makes money. These are the ones that matter:
- 1
The daily reality
Patient prescriptions and histories. POS Software built for a eye clinic turns that into a number you can act on, and you also sell in seconds on a phone, tablet or the free Veira terminal.
- 2
Where the margin leaks
High value eyewear inventory. POS Software built for a eye clinic turns that into a number you can act on, and you also take Buy Goods, Paybill and Pochi la Biashara payments at the till.
- 3
What slows the counter
Contact lens fittings and follow up. POS Software built for a eye clinic turns that into a number you can act on, and you also keep selling offline and sync the moment the network returns.
- 4
What buyers expect
Insurance and corporate schemes. POS Software built for a eye clinic turns that into a number you can act on, and you also file a compliant eTIMS invoice on every sale automatically.

A notebook and a basic till, or Veira
| Notebook or basic till | Veira | |
|---|---|---|
| Counting stock | By hand, rarely matches the shelf | Live by item, branch and value |
| M-Pesa at the counter | Checked on a separate phone | Matched to each sale automatically |
| eTIMS invoices | Typed in later, if at all | Filed on every sale, even offline |
| Knowing your numbers | A monthly guess | Live margin and takings on your phone |
