Release Notes
Because Encompass™ is cloud based, your software is automatically updated to the latest version of Encompass. However, you'll need to visit the App Store to download the latest iPad app.
Additionally, new releases are pushed to your training sandbox approximately two weeks prior to the official release to give you an opportunity to explore new features. To learn more, go to Accessing Your Training Sandbox.
Encompass 7.9
Released March 18, 2025
Training Sandbox Released February 18, 2025
This release includes the following features and enhancements:
- Document specialty contact lens prescriptions. You can now document scleral and specialty soft contact lenses within the Visit Overview and the Vision Exam, including such parameters as SAG, Skirt, OAD, and HVID. Best of all, you can show or hide specialty values based on your prescribing practices.
- Document laterality more quickly. You no longer need to select a location on the body diagram. Instead select a general laterality like OD, OS, or bilateral. You can still select specific body locations when a diagnosis or plan calls for it.
- Select plus and minus visual acuities for over refractions. We updated over refraction measurements so you can document plus and minus visual acuities in the Specialty Contact Lens and Soft Contact Lens sections.
- Enjoy a more responsive soft contact lens experience on the web. We redesigned the page to eliminate left-right scrolling and improve the experience of prescribing soft lenses in the Visit Overview.
