Upload contact-lens costs, rebates and sales volume to ChatGPT so you can see true profit per box and set prices
Dr. Haley Perry, OD, owner of Elite Eye Care, a Vision Source practice in Arden, North Carolina, writing in Review of Optometric Business
On ChatGPT 4.0 ($20/month at the time she wrote), she uploads cost fees, MSRP or office prices, sales volume and manufacturer rebate details, then asks for savings if she shifts market share, true cost per box after rebates, the most profitable lenses, and expected rebate checks. She also feeds industry and competitor pricing to set prices, photographs trial inventory for a restock list, and uses purchase-pattern analysis for promotional content. She organizes and cleans the data before asking for trends.

ChatGPT
The problem
Contact-lens rebates, bank programs and growth incentives make it hard to know the true cost per box or which brands to push.
What happened
Self-reported, no dollar figures published: she says ChatGPT 4.0 became 'an integral part of our strategy to enhance the profitability of our contact lens segment' and that image upload made trial inventory faster than a scanner. Treat rebate and ROI math as a first pass and check it in a spreadsheet.

How to set it up yourself
- What she did: put contact-lens costs, prices, volume and rebate terms into ChatGPT and asked for true cost per box and which lenses to favor.
- Export costs, office prices, units sold and rebate/growth-incentive rules into a spreadsheet (no patient names).
- Ask for a side-by-side of true cost per box after rebates, projected rebate checks, and the effect of shifting share between brands.
- Check every number in your own sheet before you change prices or orders.
- Optional: photograph trial stock, have ChatGPT build a restock list from the labels, then verify counts by hand.
- DIY adaptation: the same analysis works in Claude with a CSV upload if you already use Claude for practice admin.
Copy-paste prompt
Analyze contact-lens profitability for my optometry practice. Data attached or pasted: cost per box, MSRP or our price, units sold, and rebate/growth-incentive rules by brand. Return: 1) true cost per box after rebates, 2) ranking of most profitable lenses, 3) projected rebate checks at current volume, 4) estimated savings if we shift [X]% share from brand A to brand B, showing the math. Flag any rebate rule that is ambiguous. Don't invent fees.
