Why choose AcuityMaster?
Built by a practicing ophthalmologist for real clinical environments — and priced to make digital acuity accessible to every practice.
In one paragraph: AcuityMaster Cloud is the browser-based option among digital acuity systems: it runs on the Mac, Windows PC or iPad your practice already owns, with no installation, and it publishes its pricing in full — starting at $249 per year for the first seat. It was built by Mark S. Brown, MD, a practicing oculoplastic surgeon, and has been in clinical use since 2012. If it is not the right fit, our alternatives page lists the other systems we know of.
