DigitalOptometrics Launches Real-Time Translation Service to Improve Patient Care

DigitalOptometrics has unveiled a revolutionary solution to enhance patient care with the launch of "DOT" (DigitalOptometrics Translate), a real-time translation service designed to break down language barriers in the optometric industry.

The innovative "DOT" technology facilitates seamless communication between eye care professionals and patients by providing real-time translation in the patient's preferred language. This service is expected to empower technicians, refractionists, and doctors, enabling them to engage effectively with patients, regardless of the patient's native language.

Howard S. Fried, Founder, Optometrist, and President of DigitalOptometrics, expressed the transformative impact of this technology, stating in a company news release, "Our real-time translation technology is a game-changer for the optometric industry, enabling eye care professionals to extend their reach and provide exceptional eye care to all patients, regardless of their language."

The DigitalOptometrics Translate service offers a comprehensive solution by supporting communication in 16 languages and dialects. The introduction of the "DOT" voice translation capability in real-time aims to address the needs of approximately 68 million Americans with English as a second language or limited language proficiency. This advancement ensures that individuals in this demographic receive top-notch eye care, effectively eliminating communication barriers that may have hindered eye examinations in the past.

DigitalOptometrics' system not only facilitates visual and verbal instant communication but also removes barriers to eye examinations for millions of patients across the United States. The company's remote optometrists, available 7 days a week, further contribute to the accessibility and convenience of eye care services.
