Contact lens inventory

[precisioneyecare]

Howdy,

I am setting up my contact lens inventory, and I am not sure what the difference between the name and series fields is.  Do I use the name for the power?  Or would I put in series "Acuvue Oasys" and in the name put "Oasys sphere, Oasys for Astigmatism, etc?"  Since I don't inventory lenses, is there a way that I can create contact lens items without assigning a barcode and still have them show up in the contact lens reports?  I know I can create a bill item and leave the contacts/miscellaneous unchecked, but then I don't think I can use the contact lens report.

Thanks!

We have our set up as: (examples shown)
Random UPC
Mfg: Vistakon
Series: Acuvue Oasys
Name: Acuvue Oasys Toric 6pk (or Acuvue Oasys Toric Annual Supply, etc)
Description: Acuvue Oasys Toric 6pk 2-wk lens

We use a separate UPC only for the type and qty. We don't inventory by rx, when we sell contacts, this allows us to track how many boxes of a type we've sold. Hope this helps,

Karen
