Online booking for optometrists with AI
Optometry booking has to handle different visit types: a routine exam, a contact lens fitting, a medical eye visit, a child’s exam. AI can offer the right length and the right doctor, send reminders, and offer cancelled slots to people on a waiting list. Your rules come first.

Visit type changes everything
A new contact lens fitting runs longer than a glasses update. A red eye should not go into a routine slot. If the online booking tool treats them all the same, your schedule suffers.
Many practices also offer dilation or special testing that adds time. Letting the patient pick “eye exam with dilation” or “contact lens fitting” keeps the schedule honest.
No-shows and gaps
Reminders with a one-tap confirm cut the chance that an exam slot goes unused. When someone cancels, the freed time can go to a waiting list.
People with eye symptoms should be directed to call, not book online.
