The Smart System
Alternative.
Why practices comparing Smart System 20/20 end up on Ocular Edge — and where Smart System still deserves the nod. Sources and spec tables in the full head-to-head.
M&S Technologies' Smart System 20/20 is the research pedigree pick — validated protocols, deep test sets, institutional installs. It's also quote-based (reseller listings around $3,675, August 2026) with a dedicated hardware footprint. Primary-care practices usually seek an alternative because they need a fraction of its protocol depth at a fraction of its process.
1 · A price you can read
No quote cycle, no rep visit: $24.99 per lane per month, $449 lifetime per lane, Enterprise at $225/month for up to 20 lanes — published, with a free trial first.
2 · Right-sized clinical depth
The 20 charts and tests cover everyday primary-care testing — Sloan to ETDRS, pediatric to contrast sensitivity — plus TRIAD adaptive screening for a multidimensional profile in about 4 minutes.
3 · Deploy in an afternoon
Pair the TV already on the wall with a 6-digit code, calibrate with a ruler, and test. Multi-lane rollout is the same afternoon, not an install project.
