What Optikam does
Optikam Tech Inc. (operating as Optikam) is a privately held Canadian company headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, founded circa 2006 (with initial commercial deployment of its OptikamPad product at customer sites by November 2013). The company sells an iPad-based eyewear measurement and dispensing platform — OptikamPad — used by independent eye care professionals (optometrists, opticians, and optical practices) to capture accurate 'as-worn' pupillary distance, height, and position-of-wear measurements needed for dispensing modern personalized progressive and single-vision lenses.
The OptikamPad platform combines proprietary software with patented hardware accessories — the Optikam Posture Device (OPD) and the EY-Stick — plus a patented LiDAR-based no-device measurement mode. From a single image the system extracts ten position-of-wear measurements in the time a traditional pupilometer-and-sharpie workflow captures two. The platform also bundles sales-conversion modules (Frame Selection, Lens Demos, Augmented Reality) and a Lens Verification overlay that flags progressive-addition-lens cut-out issues before ordering. An optional yearly cloud subscription extends sales-module access to up to five additional iPads per practice, adds multi-station licensing, usage analytics, data backup, and remote technical support. The company monetizes predominantly through hardware unit sales to SMB optical practices, with a modest recurring cloud component on top.
Optikam sells direct via phone, email, ~45-minute virtual sales presentations (Teams), and ~1-hour virtual training sessions (Zoom) to eye care professionals across North America, supported by 12+ native integrations with EHR, point-of-sale, and optical lab systems including RevolutionEHR, MyVisionExpress, Compulink Advantage, Hoya Vision MyStyle, Crystal PM, and FoxFire. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

Optikam competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Topcon Healthcare: Topcon is an established ophthalmic equipment manufacturer with broad optometric instrumentation lines; it overlaps with Optikam in the practice measurement/dispensing category as part of a much larger portfolio.
- Nidek: Nidek manufactures optometric and ophthalmic equipment including refraction and measurement devices; it competes with Optikam in the ECP equipment category but across a much broader product portfolio.
Emerging players
- DigitalOptometrics: DigitalOptometrics provides telehealth and digital refraction/dispensing technology for optical retailers — overlapping with Optikam on the digital dispensing workflow but emphasizing remote and chain-store delivery.
- Shamir Optical Industry: Shamir is a lens manufacturer that has developed its own dispensing/measurement tooling for ECPs; its lens-plus-tool bundling strategy competes with Optikam for practice-level dispensing workflow ownership.
Direct peers
- Hoya Vision (iD Workup / MyStyle): Hoya bundles iD Workup and MyStyle digital dispensing/measurement tools with its lens products, targeting the same ECP dispensing workflow that OptikamPad addresses and competing with it for practice-level mindshare.
- Carl Zeiss Vision (i.Terminal / VISUFIT): Zeiss offers i.Terminal and VISUFIT digital measurement devices for ECPs that capture frame and position-of-wear data — directly comparable to OptikamPad in use case and customer base, with broader brand reach.
- EssilorLuxottica (Visioffice / Visionix): EssilorLuxottica sells Visioffice and Visionix digital centration and dispensing systems to eye care professionals — the most direct competitive overlap with OptikamPad's eyewear measurement and patient consultation workflow.
Others
- AIT Industries: AIT Industries supplies optical measurement and dispensing equipment to ECPs and optical labs; it overlaps thematically with Optikam's measurement/dispensing focus but with a broader hardware distribution model.
