Secure referral intake for ophthalmology services

High-volume optometry referrals, urgent wet-AMD cases and diabetic eye screening all arrive together. Valident brings structure and urgency-aware triage to ophthalmology intake.

The Challenge

When volume hides the urgent cases

Ophthalmology receives high volumes of referrals from optometry — including false positives — alongside genuinely urgent wet-AMD cases where days matter. Without structured intake, urgency is hard to surface.

Structured, OCT-aware referrals make triage faster and safer.

  • High referral volume from community optometry
  • Time-critical wet-AMD cases buried in routine intake
  • OCT images and fields attached inconsistently
  • False-positive referrals consuming clinic capacity
