Ipro has appointed dispensing optician Carlton Plaatjes from Barnard Levit optometrists in London to lead the practice management provider’s UK operation.
Plaatjes has experience working in independent practices and multiples as well as running an optometry claims department in a private health insurance company in South Africa.
Speaking about the benefits of Ipro’s service, Plaatjes said: ‘As part of Haag Streit, Ipro has a background in providing premium optical solutions and winIpro software provides some tremendous opportunities. Our highly flexible software allows the practice to adapt it to their own way of working.
‘It is not cloud-based and will function even when the internet connection is lost, which is exactly what many practices, and those who are in domiciliary care, are seeking. There are more than 3,000 practices using winIpro software in Europe. The Paskal 3D binocular refraction software is also an exciting talking point for many who are looking to liven up their eye examinations.’
