AI call screening for optometrists is an automated qualification phone system. It engages vision seekers 24/7, determines routine exam vs. medical eye care intent, gathers VSP/EyeMed criteria, and routes pre-qualified callers to appointment coordinators.

Why optometry practices lose $42,000+ in lost exam and eyewear revenue. Callers seeking contact lens fittings or frame styling book with the clinic that answers first.
