Creating a Contact Lens
After you know that you have the necessary attributes in the database, you can create a contact lens for the catalog in AcuityLogic POS.
To create a contact lens
- In AcuityLogic Admin, click Product, select Contact Lens, and then select Contact Lens.
- Click Create New.
- Complete the following fields:

The drop-down list is linked from Product > Contact Lens > Style.

Item Fields
Item Name
The name of the contact lens. Include the manufacturer and style name.
X
Item Number
The item number.
You might want to create item numbers in numerical order. For example, if the last contact lens in the list is 300, you would type 301.
X
Item Type
The type of item. Contact Lens automatically appears.
UPC code
The UPC code for the contact lens. This field is not required because the lens is not specific to one catalog item.
Item Status
The status of the attribute.
In AcuityLogic POS (for one office) and AcuityLogic BackOffice (for all offices), you can run reports on the contact lens based on the assigned status.
Financial Group
The financial group assigned to the item. See Maintaining Financial Groups.
Assigning a financial group to a contact lens at the item level assigns the financial group to all contact lens stock items under the contact lens item. For exceptions, update the financial group assigned to the individual contact lens stock items.
Default Cost
The cost of the style attribute (although the cost is typically assigned to the complete lens).
Active
If selected, the contact lens is an available option when a AcuityLogic POS user creates a contact lens order.
Item Group
The item group to which the contact lens should belong.
Section Number
This field has no functionality for contact lenses.
