Optometry practicesGoal: Eye exam booked

The AI receptionist that books annual eye exams while your opticians fit frames.

Your schedule depends on patients coming back every year, and on a phone that someone answers between pretests and frame fittings. Avoonta handles both: recall calls out, receptionist calls in.

The problem

Why optometrists leads go cold.

The annual exam you never booked is the patient you lost quietly.

Recall postcards get ignored and emails land in promotions tabs. Front desk staff mean to call the overdue list but spend the day checking people in, verifying vision plans and helping with frames.

Meanwhile the phone rings with simple questions: are you open Saturday, are my glasses ready, do you take my plan. Each one interrupts a patient in the chair.

What Avoonta does for optometrists

Four jobs, done on every call.

Calls patients due for exams

Outbound

Send your recall list and, for patients who agreed to be contacted, your AI agent calls to book the annual exam on your Google, Outlook, HighLevel or Cal.com calendar.

Answers the office line

Inbound

Hours, location, vision plans you accept, contact lens orders: it answers from your information and books new exams 24/7.

Tells patients orders are ready

Follow-up

When glasses or contacts arrive, it calls or texts the patient and books a pickup or fitting time if you want one.

Routes eye problems to staff

Live transfer

Anyone calling about a red, painful eye or sudden vision change is transferred live to your staff, never assessed by the AI.

If recall calls bring back a handful of patients each month who would have skipped their exam, their exams and eyewear would more than cover the plan.

Example only. Your recall list size, call length and exam fees are your own.

Limits and compliance

Books exams. Doesn't judge eye symptoms.

Your agent schedules exams, shares order status and answers FAQs from your practice's information. It never assesses symptoms or gives eye-health advice; urgent eye problems go to a person, and emergencies are told to hang up and call 911. Avoonta doesn't claim HIPAA compliance, so set the caller to gather scheduling and vision plan details only. Recall calls go to patients who agreed to be contacted.

Optometrists FAQ

Straight answers.

Can it check vision plan eligibility?

No. It can ask which plan the patient has and pass it to your staff to verify.

Can it handle contact lens reorders?

It can take the reorder request and pass it to your team, or book a contact lens check if the prescription is expiring.

What about patients with a sudden eye problem?

They are transferred live to your staff. The agent doesn't triage symptoms.

Can it call kids' exam recalls?

Yes, but it speaks with the parent or guardian and books the child's exam with them.
