Free Webinar · Live Q&A · Sunday, August 9
Cut comprehensive eye exam testing time in half—without compromising care.
Run faster, more consistent annual exams—without cutting clinical corners. In this live webinar, Dr. Steve Klein, Founder of Total Vision, shares the exact system he used to automate and standardize the key testing inside every comprehensive eye exam—so your team completes more before the doctor walks in. It's called the Carrot-Klein Method, and it can transform your practice's efficiency without adding staff, rooms, or overhead.

Why this matters
Every unnecessary minute costs.
The comprehensive exam is the economic engine of your practice—and usually its biggest time sink. As Dr. Klein puts it, every wasted minute costs on four fronts:
Patients
Longer waits and a "I barely saw the doctor" experience.
Doctors
Lost productivity doing testing that could be delegated.
Staff
Stress and bottlenecks that pile up across the day.
Profitability
Fewer patients seen, capacity left on the table.
The framework, live
The shape of a ~10-minute exam—and the judgment to run it
The 10 minutes are the easy part to see. What makes the Carrot-Klein Method work is the judgment behind it—what to skip, when to punt, and how to get every tech and provider running it the same way. Here's the shape; Dr. Klein teaches the how, live.
Intake paperwork, including patient history & chief complaint
Review history & complaint with patient
Autorefraction & keratometry
Tonometry (IOP)
Retinal imaging
Visual acuity
Functional vision testing Carrot automates
Run Visual Field Screening (C-40 + Foveal Threshold), Pupillometry, Extraocular Motility, and Contrast Sensitivity in as little as 3 minutes. Carrot administers the tests, self-guided and consistent every time, so your techs are freed up to enter notes and prep for handoff.
Doctor handoff
The workflow is the easy part.
What separates a 20-30 minute workup from a 10-minute one is judgment. Live, Dr. Klein breaks down:
- When to "punt"—and why chasing the perfect workflow quietly costs you
- Which tests to skip, and exactly when
- The #1 habit adding minutes to every exam
- How to coach your team to run it the same way, every time
Your presenter
"The goal isn't to do less testing. It's to do more testing, faster."
— Dr. Steve Klein, Founder, Total Vision
Founder of Total Vision, Dr. Klein and his wife, Dr. Kim Plattner, grew a single San Diego practice into a 58-location network with 100+ optometrists and 600+ staff—acquired by VSP Ventures in 2025. He led that growth hands-on: seeing patients, managing doctors, and hand-selecting the practices Total Vision acquired—while building the testing workflows that cut comprehensive exam time from roughly 22 minutes to as little as 7, without compromising clinical quality.
Who should attend
Built for your whole practice
Owners & operations leaders
How redesigning exam testing reclaims capacity and protects margins—without new rooms, staff, or overhead.
Optometrists & ophthalmologists
How to standardize testing so you begin every exam with complete data—and decide with confidence.
Practice administrators
How to build predictable schedules and ease staff stress with one repeatable workflow.
Technicians
The step-by-step ~10-minute testing workflow—and how to run it consistently every time.
Beyond the time saved
Better testing, not less
The payoff isn't only speed. Delegating objective tests to an automated, repeatable workflow changes the quality of care your practice delivers.
Standardized care, at any scale
Every provider, tech, and location runs the same exam, so quality stays consistent as your practice grows.
Automated documentation
Objective results are captured the same way at every visit, building a clean baseline to reference when a patient's vision or health changes.
Empowered teams
Carrot runs the testing for you, so techs can perform exams you'd normally reserve for a provider, all clinically validated and doctor-approved.
Patient-specific, not one-size-fits-all
Carrot Protocols set a reliable baseline, then testing adapts to each patient's age, history, symptoms, and risks.
Reclaim your time. Keep your standard of care.

"Carrot is saving us about 10 minutes per patient encounter, which really adds up when you're seeing 100 patients a day."
"I can run the visual field and simultaneously work up another patient. It frees up a lot of time."
"Now with Carrot, we can offer Esterman tests. For patients who need a DMV form, we can perform that test and bill for it."
"Onboarding with Carrot is one of the easiest things we've done. New techs are literally able to use it the same day."
"The implementation was super easy. It showed up, I turned it on, it connected, I logged in, and clicked run test."
"We quickly realized Carrot was clinically sound, exams are easy to run, and we can easily access, capture, and compare data."
