Optometry Software for Mac OS X
Posted on 01. Mar, 2010 by Brad Rourke in General Information
More Optometrists and Retail Optical stores are switching to Practice Director because Practice Director is fully Mac compatible. Mac compatibility isn’t the only reason they are switching to Practice Director, but it is one of many.
We recently deployed Practice Director on another all Mac multi-location optometry office. The server side software of Practice Director was installed on a Mac Pro with 16GB RAM that supports connections from offices with approximately 10 users at each location. Users at each location are using a combination of MacBooks, iMac’s and MacBook Pro’s for their work stations. This professional office chose Practice Director because of its simple to use and integrated Electronic Health Record (EHR) and its ability to run in Mac OS X environments.
Another of our customers said the following about their experience with Practice Director migrating from PC/Windows to Mac OS X.
“What is really appealing about Practice Director is that most of us have had experience with a PC crashing and entertain switching to Mac. The main problem with switching is the expense of switching all computers at once. With Practice Director, you can switch one at a time, like we are doing, and the program works with all.” Drs Kevin & Joy Kissel O.D.; kissel@fastem.com
I’d love to hear your comments and if you’ve entertained the idea of switching from PC/Windows to Mac OS X, and why or why not?

Are the Mac Pros running the server software with Windows via Boot Camp of VMWare/Parallels, or natively? I’d love to switch my servers over to Apple hardware.

Practice Director runs natively on all Mac’s, except for the iPAD. For the iPAD we use an RDP app to access the terminal session on a Mac server. Works great!
