Bringing the best of modern software to optometry

About

Optometrists are highly skilled professionals carrying a serious compliance burden. The software available to help them manage it just wasn't good enough.

Retinote was built to change that. We want optometrists to spend less time on admin and more time on what they trained for.

Our mission

Retinote is a centralised platform for optometrists to track their CPD activities and learning goals. We provide the latest software solutions to streamline workflows.

Being a small team keeps us close to the problem. We talk directly with optometrists, ship updates based on real feedback, and stay accountable to the people actually using what we build.

    Lachlan Su

    Optometrist & Developer

    Lachlan is a therapeutically endorsed Optometrist. He began his career in Hobart before travelling across Australia as a locum. Having found himself back home in Brisbane, Lachlan never stopped evolving. His career has been anything but orthodox, taking a brief detour into law school before learning how to code. Today, he balances his work as a software engineer with locum optometry, blending both worlds through Retinote, a project that reflects his passion for innovation and supporting the optometry community. For Lachlan, Retinote is not just an app, but an opportunity to give back and create lasting impact.
