Banasaz Vision · How it works
How a practice is read
Banasaz Vision catalogs 3,478 optometry practices across the United States. The directory routes a booking call between the patient and the practice — no platform overlay, no referral fees, no fabricated medical claims.
What we cover
Every listing tracks six vision-care signals — comprehensive eye exam, contact-lens fitting, designer frames, vision-insurance acceptance, pediatric eye exam, and dry-eye care. For each practice, we screen public sources (the practice's own website, the Google Maps listing, customer review snippets) and tag every signal as detected with the source recorded, or not seen. The diopter-scale lensometer log on the detail page makes the source of every claim visible.
How we treat evidence
Optometry source data is uneven. Some practices keep richly written official sites; others publish only a phone number and a Google listing. We do four things to turn that into a usable directory.
One. We strip nav junk before anything renders — mid-word starts, social-platform footer fragments, "Schedule Online" / "Patient Portal" UI residuals, ALL-CAPS marketing banners, and the boilerplate HIPAA / privacy lines. Two. We separate copy from the practice's own page from copy a customer wrote — first-person sentences move into the patient-mention band; clinic copy stays in the verbatim-entries log. Three. We mark a listing Standalone profile when at least three pieces of public evidence corroborate the signals, and Limited record when they don't — the limited tier still renders so the practice's phone and address can be found, but with a clearer ask to confirm before booking. Four. We keep a Booking facts card on every detail page — phone, site, address, specialty, profile tier, data score — as plain receipts that don't dress up what's actually known.
What we don't do
We do not provide medical advice. We do not diagnose. We do not recommend a specific exam, contact lens, or frame brand for a patient. We do not write the practice's prescription scope, set fees, or quote insurance benefits — those conversations belong between the patient and the practice. We screen out surgical-only listings (LASIK clinics, retina specialists, ophthalmology surgery centers) because the directory is for routine vision care, not surgical eye care.
Why "Banasaz Vision"
The domain is drbanasaz.com, but the brand is Banasaz Vision. The "Dr." prefix exists in the URL as a short signal of the medical-adjacent vertical for search engines, while the brand drops it on purpose — the directory is not a single doctor's clinic, and "Banasaz Vision" reads cleanly as a national vision-care directory.
Reading the dial on every page
The phoropter dial on the home page is the directory's organising motif — six vision-care signals as radial sectors around the brand wordmark. The detail page opens with a duochrome dual-channel split (red OD · exam channel / green OS · optical channel) modelled on the real red-green test optometrists run during a refraction. The body of every detail page is a lensometer log — single-column horizontal-stripe entries the way a real bench instrument records a finished prescription.
