Eye Test Booking for Optometrists
An optometry practice is a walk-in place with a booked core, and the most common call is the one that books an eye test while also floating a couple of questions about vision plans and contact lenses. Zepiva answers every line of the Saturday rush: books the eye test into the real schedule, answers insurance and contact lens questions straight from the knowledge base, and sends the confirmation before the caller is off the phone.
Calls that are never just a booking
There is no such thing as a plain eye test call: callers want to know what a test covers, how long it lasts, whether their plan pays, and whether they can refresh their contact lens order at the same visit. That cluster of small questions is what ties up a receptionist across four calls that should have been one. When those questions are answered from the knowledge base in the first call, the caller books instead of shopping around. The appointment itself is unchanged, but the phone minutes a receptionist used to burn disappear.
The booking goes to the right chair
The agent matches the caller to the exam types your practice keeps in the knowledge base, whether that is a full standard test, a children's assessment, or a call from an existing patient who is due their repeat. It reads the live calendar and proposes open times, reserving the slot on confirmation in your booking system. When your practice has opticians who handle certain exam forms only, the agent uses that same mapping so the patient always lands with the right professional and the appointment keeps its correct length.
Insurance and the lens questions from one source
For plan and lens questions the agent reads from the knowledge base you load: the optical schemes you accept, the price of a standard lens, and what an eye test normally includes. When a question falls outside the loaded answers it says honestly that it will ask the practice, so patients trust the answer rather than a confident guess. Anything touching the patient's prescription or a clinical reading is routed away from the bot, and the agent directs that part to the scheduled test. When the call closes, the confirmation message carries the date, the visit cost where published, and what the booking is for, with no further contact needed.
A call about a first eye test and a lens question
A caller asks for an eye test and, hesitantly, whether the contact lens plan they heard about from a friend renews without a new exam.
The agent books the standard test against the next openings, then answers the contact lens renewal question from the practice's lens sheet in the knowledge base.
The caller asks whether the same test covers a child's pricing, which the agent reads back from the practice sheet and attaches the child to the booking.
A confirmation with the time, the address, and the pricing is sent by WhatsApp, and the booking appears as a marked entry on the practice calendar.
