24 / 7
Every call answered — mid-clinic, nights, weekends
Meet Aida, the AI front desk for eye clinics. Between a full morning list, an injection clinic and theatre days, the phone still rings — and a caller with new flashes and floaters who reaches nobody waits, or calls someone else. Aida answers every call, day, night, weekends: she books same-day urgent visits, routes red-flag symptoms to your emergency pathway, protects injection cycles, refills cancellations, and calls patients back when their monitoring is due — in your patients' own language, 60+ of them. It isn't software you manage; it's a service that runs itself, 24/7.
The live line above answers today as our dental demo practice, the same Aida, the same
engine. Your clinic's version speaks your services and pathways from day one.
Injection clinics, post-op reviews, a waiting room of dilated patients — and every unanswered ring is an anxious caller with a sight-critical symptom, or a cataract enquiry booking somewhere else.
Short slots, full lists, dilated patients needing a hand at the desk — the front office is always mid-something, and it cannot answer every ring.
Flashes, a shower of new floaters, a curtain over the vision — a detaching retina is measured in hours. If nobody answers with the right next step, patients lose precious time.
Glaucoma checks, visual fields, diabetic screening: lifelong rhythms that hold both sight and revenue. When recalls don't happen, patients quietly fall out of care.
Eye-clinic no-shows climb steeply with waiting time. Add drop refills bouncing between voicemails and patients calling three times for one answer — hours of desk time nobody has.
You set the emergency route once — your on-call doctor or the regional eye casualty — and Aida follows it on every call, at any hour. She recognises the red flags (sudden vision loss, a shadow or curtain, flashes with new floaters, severe pain with nausea, a chemical splash, worsening pain after surgery), sends the patient to the right place immediately, and leaves your team an urgent note. She never plays doctor: your protocol, never a diagnosis.
Trained on the emergencies every ophthalmologist knows by heart — and on the discipline to route them instantly instead of chatting.
On-call doctor, eye casualty, or come-in-first-thing: your protocol, followed without exception, with an urgent alert to your team.
Six everyday situations that cost eye clinics money and patients sleep — and how Aida turns each one into the right next step. Pick a scenario. Then call her yourself.
The call every eye clinic checks the same day. New flashes and floaters get the first urgent slot — plus the exact symptom that means “call the emergency line now”, not tomorrow.
Aida is far more than a receptionist. She works your phones, your waitlist and your patient base — around the clock — and explains every decision she makes.
Mid-clinic, evenings, weekends — and the second, third and fourth call at once. She books straight into your live diary, never a message pad someone types up later.
Recognises red-flag symptoms at any hour, routes the patient to your on-call doctor or eye casualty instantly, and alerts your team — your protocol, never medical advice.
The moment a slot opens she calls the best-fit patient from your own waitlist. No-shows get a kind same-day call that rebooks them — and a missed injection visit is treated as urgent, never routine.
Glaucoma pressure checks, visual fields, diabetic screening, post-op reviews — Aida tracks whose visit is due, calls a few patients a day, and keeps them in care instead of drifting away.
Fluent in 60+ languages, switching to the caller's the instant they do — no menu, no "press 2". A worried patient gets warmth in their mother tongue.
Tells every dilated patient not to drive and to bring sunglasses, checks referrals for insured care, takes drop-refill requests as tidy messages for the doctor — and welcomes the son or daughter calling for an elderly parent.
Worry speaks every language — and so does Aida. An expat with a sudden red eye, an elderly patient who thinks best in Turkish or Polish, a daughter calling for her mother: she greets each one in their mother tongue and follows them if they switch mid-call. No phone menu, no "press 2 for another language", no second receptionist to hire. Just 60+ languages, on the one number you already have.
Nothing to install. No new system for your team to learn. You keep your number, your diary, your workflow — Aida simply sits in front of your phone.
We learn your clinic — your visit types, referral rules, emergency route, dilation advice, your tone, what Aida should and shouldn't say. She's ready the same day.
~20 min of your timeWe arrange the redirect with your telephone provider for you. Your clinic number stays exactly the same — it never leaves you.
We handle itFrom that moment she answers, books, routes, refills and recalls — and you watch every booking and every euro on a simple dashboard. Switch her off any time.
Runs itselfA rough, deliberately conservative estimate. Every euro Aida recovers is traceable to a real booking she made — if she doesn't recover more than she costs, she doesn't deserve to stay.
Assumes ~60% of recovered callers book, plus modest monthly no-show recovery and monitoring recalls. Your real number depends on call volume and diary.
Eye clinics don't just fear the missed call — they fear the wrong booking: a detaching retina put down for next Tuesday. Aida was born answering phones for dental practices — real bookings, real patients, every night re-tested by an adversarial AI — and ophthalmology is a speciality of the same engine: GDPR-first, EU-resident, fluent in 60+ languages, and taught the red-flag discipline of a good eye clinic.

A call about failing sight is a frightening call. Aida is built for care and for European law: EU-resident, consent-first, and transparent that she's an AI — by design.
Patient details and call data stay in the EU; nothing leaves the region for training without being stripped of anything identifying.
Aida never diagnoses or reassures a symptom away. She books, escalates and routes per your protocol — and clinical questions always go to your doctors.
Calls about failing sight or a frightening new diagnosis are handled slowly and kindly: quiet appointment times, no selling, and a personal callback from the ophthalmologist when the patient is unsure.
A separate AI stress-tests Aida on hundreds of patient scenarios and grades her. If quality ever drifts, we catch it before your patients do.
Aida didn't start with eyes. She started on the hardest phones in healthcare — dental practices — answering real calls, booking real appointments, and being stress-tested by an adversarial AI every single night. The ophthalmology version speaks your pathways, your visit types and your emergency protocol from day one, on the exact same engine.
It books. Aida writes consultations, urgent visits, diagnostics and post-op checks straight into your live diary — reschedules and cancellations too — respecting your doctors, your optometrist's diagnostics lane, visit types and hours. A message pad that someone has to type up later is exactly what we set out to kill.
Never. Aida follows your emergency protocol, she doesn't diagnose: she listens, books a same-day urgent visit when a patient is worried, and recognises red-flag symptoms — sudden vision loss, a shadow or curtain, flashes with new floaters, severe pain with nausea, a chemical splash, worsening pain after surgery — and immediately directs the caller to your emergency route while alerting your team. She never reassures a symptom away, and clinical questions always go to the ophthalmologist.
You decide the route and Aida follows it every single time: your own on-call doctor, or the regional eye casualty. She answers at 3am, recognises the urgency, gives the patient the right number or address immediately, and leaves your team an urgent message so nothing is a surprise in the morning.
Every time. When a booking involves dilating drops — fundus exams, diabetic screening, cataract assessments — Aida tells the patient their vision will stay blurry for a few hours, asks them not to drive to the appointment, and suggests sunglasses for the way home. A small detail that saves wasted slots — and it's repeated in the confirmation message.
No. You keep your existing number and provider. We set up a simple redirect so Aida answers — the calls you'd have missed, or all of them, you choose. Your number never leaves you, and you can switch the redirect off in one click.
Pricing is tailored to your clinic — it's based on your call volume and on what you need: inbound answering only, or outbound too (monitoring recalls, missed-injection recovery, cancellation refills). We'll put an exact quote together for your clinic on a 20-minute demo, and you can switch off any time.
