Optometry

AI receptionist for optometrists in Australia.

Between eye tests, frame fittings and the front counter, the phone is hard to reach. Miya books comprehensive eye tests and children's checks, takes "are my glasses ready?" calls as messages, answers bulk billing questions from your notes and sends eye emergencies to urgent care.

  • Eye tests booked by type and length
  • Glasses and lens calls logged
  • Eye emergencies sent to urgent care

The difference

Your test room stays focused, and the phone still gets answered.

Optometry practices miss calls when the optometrist and staff are all with patients. Miya covers the gap.

Without RingOut

  • Calls missed during eye tests
  • Glasses-ready questions pull staff from the counter
  • Bulk billing questions repeated all day
  • After-school check requests go to voicemail
  • Eye emergencies wait with routine calls

With RingOut

  • Callers answered during tests and fittings
  • Glasses and lens calls logged as messages
  • Bulk billing questions answered from your notes
  • Children's checks booked after school
  • Eye emergencies directed to urgent care at once

How calls are handled

Optometry calls become tests, messages or urgent advice.

Miya books and logs. Anything about symptoms goes to urgent care or the optometrist.

Direct transfer to the optometrist is a planned feature. Today, collection and eye questions sit in your dashboard straight after the call.

Three optometry calls, from first word to booking.

An overdue eye test, a child's check and sudden vision loss.

Patient trust

Careful limits for optometry calls.

Miya books and logs messages. Vision and eye health questions stay with your optometrists.

Miya does not comment on symptoms, prescriptions or whether something is serious.

Your billing wording

Bulk billing, fees and fund claiming are explained exactly as you write them.

Clear that she is AI

Optometry patients learn in the first few seconds that Miya is AI-based, and a staff member can ring them back.

Records held in Sydney

Patient notes and recordings are kept on servers in Sydney.

US speech conversion

Spoken audio is converted by US providers during the call and is not stored.

Privacy Act duties

Optometry practices hold health information under the Privacy Act, so call notes are kept to what is needed.

FAQ

AI receptionist for optometrists FAQs.

What does an AI receptionist for optometrists do?

Miya takes calls while your optometrists test and your staff fit frames, books comprehensive eye tests, contact lens fittings and children's checks by type and length, logs glasses and lens collection calls as messages and answers bulk billing and fee questions from your notes.

How does it handle eye emergencies?

Miya never judges whether an eye problem is serious. Callers describing sudden vision loss, a sudden shower of flashes or floaters, an eye injury or a chemical in the eye are told to go to emergency care or call 000 straight away, and the practice is told they called.

Can it answer "are my glasses ready?"

Miya cannot see your order system, so she logs the customer's name and order details as a message for your dispensing team, who confirm and call back. She does not promise a ready date unless your notes give standard timeframes to share.

Will it explain bulk billing?

From your wording. Miya can explain when comprehensive eye tests are bulk billed for eligible Medicare card holders, any fees for additional tests and how health fund claiming for frames and lenses works at your practice. Eligibility questions go to your staff.

Does it connect to optometry practice software?

Not yet. The eye test diary can live in Google Calendar or Calendly, while RingOut notes each call's test type and current eyewear, so your team can enter it into the practice system between patients. Most practices clear the list at the end of each session.

What does an optometry practice pay for RingOut?

Smaller practices can begin on Starter, $49 monthly for 60 minutes. Practices with an eyewear store usually choose Growth at $149, covering 250 minutes with recordings, and multi-store groups often move up to Professional at $399. Prices are before GST, and setup is free.

Keep testing. Miya answers the counter phone.
