If you do purchase it, you may want to look at using my template because I went through every other template that they had available and I couldn't find anything that was very complete. I created one which took a LONG time and I would hate for others to have to go through all that trouble. My template is not perfect, but it definately has everything needed to make the exam go as quickly and efficiently as possible without having to scroll all over the place and you just see what you need all on one screen. I have to be reimbursed for my time, so I am charging $100 for the template file, and you may contact me at amandacpaull@gmail.com if you want more details.

ExamWriter is very inefficient.
I have found it much faster, easier, and less stressful to do all my exams on a paper form and have it scanned into an ExamWriter record. We still use the ExamWriter record to have the autorefraction and lensometer readings imported into the exam. Additionally, we enter all the prescriptions into the ExamWriter patient record, which makes it easy to pull up when needed. However, using the paper form system helps me to see everything I need to see all at once, and it is fast, easy, and much more patient-friendly then turning to type into a computer during the exam.
It took weeks and weeks to integrate the autorefractor and lensometer with the computer system - customer support actually did not know how to do it with my TopCon system! I finally had to figure it out on my own, along with a computer guy who had never done this before either. We spent over $500 in buying the wrong adapters, wrong cables, and paying $78/hour for a computer technician to help. Thanks, ExamWriter!
