Hi, I think I need an eye test, my vision's been blurry lately. Do you have any appointments this week?21:03
We can definitely help with that. A full eye test is £25, or free if you're eligible for an NHS voucher. Have you had a test with us before?21:03
No, first time. And I'd probably need new glasses too21:04
No problem, welcome! I have Thursday 2pm or Saturday 10am for a test, and you'll have plenty of time to browse our frames after (from £39 up to designer ranges). Which suits?21:04
Saturday 10am please21:05
Booked ✅ Saturday 10am for an eye test, new patient. Can I take your name and mobile to confirm and send a reminder?21:05
The problem

Every missed enquiry is money walking out the door.

Most opticians miss enquiries while staff are serving customers in store or after closing. Every unanswered question about an eye test or a new pair of glasses is a patient who books with the chain down the road.

In your world, a glasses sale plus repeat annual eye tests is worth hundreds per patient. You cannot afford to miss them.

  • Eye-test bookings missed while staff serve customers in store
  • Repetitive questions on prices, brands and NHS vouchers
  • After-hours enquiries going unanswered
  • No-shows on test appointments
