Alright, vision heroes—time to talk about the one thing that could revolutionize your optometry practice and finally get you off the PPO hamster wheel: in-house vision membership software. I know what you’re thinking: “Software? Really? Is it going to make me a latte, too?” No, but it’s going to do something better—create a revenue stream so predictable it’s like a money-printing machine with glasses.
If you’re not using a platform like BoomCloud™ to run your in-house membership plan, you’re leaving piles of cash—and patient loyalty—on the table. Strap in, because we’re diving into why this software is a must-have, along with some killer case studies to show you how it works.
Why In-House Vision Membership Plans Are Your BFF
Let’s break it down. An in-house vision membership plan is your golden ticket to:
- Recurring Revenue: Monthly or annual fees come rolling in like clockwork.
- Loyal Patients: Members are your patients. No more middlemen.
- Higher Spend Per Patient: Members spend up to 4.2X more than non-members.
- PPO-Free Freedom: Finally escape the low-margin clutches of insurance companies.
Membership plans let you own the relationship with your patients. And when you pair that concept with BoomCloud™, it’s like giving your practice a turbo boost.

Case Study: Vision Masters Optometry’s Million-Dollar Membership Plan
The Backstory

The BoomCloud™ Game Plan

Why Members Spend More
Let’s talk about the psychology behind membership plans for a second. When patients join a plan, they feel like VIPs—and VIPs like to splurge. BoomCloud™ data shows that members spend way more than non-members, whether it’s upgrading their lenses, buying multiple pairs of glasses, or investing in specialty treatments.
It’s not just about discounts; it’s about creating a sense of belonging and value that makes patients want to stick around—and spend big.
