Scheduling software built for optometrists
Book eye exams and contact fittings by doctor and by exam room, and bring patients back every year on autopilot. Slotly gives optometry practices a single booking link, automated reminders, and no-show protection — so your optometry practice stays booked without the phone tag. Once a patient's exam is a year old, they forget — and drift to whoever reminds them first. Slotly's automated SMS and email reminders bring last year's patients back with a one-tap link to rebook their next exam.
What scheduling chaos costs optometry practices.
Annual recall patients quietly drift away
Once a patient's exam is a year old, they forget — and drift to whoever reminds them first. Slotly's automated SMS and email reminders bring last year's patients back with a one-tap link to rebook their next exam.
Two doctors, one pretest room, endless conflicts
An eye exam ties up a doctor AND a specific lane or exam room. Slotly models per-doctor and per-room availability together, so a slot only shows when both the OD and the room are actually free — no more double-booked pretest area.
Insurance and history questions eat the front desk
Vision-plan details, medical history, and reason-for-visit get sorted out on the phone, one call at a time. Attach an intake form to every booking so insurance and history come in before the patient arrives, not at the check-in window.
Everything a optometry practice needs to stay booked.
Per-doctor and per-room availability
Model each optometrist and each exam lane or pretest room separately, so patients only ever see a comprehensive-exam or contact-fitting slot you can actually staff and room.
Annual recall reminders on autopilot
Exam due again? Slotly nudges the patient to rebook with a personal link — recovering the annual visits that usually slip away to the practice down the street.
Insurance and history intake before the visit
Attach an intake form to the booking to capture vision-plan info, reason for visit, and medical history up front, so check-in is fast and the exam starts on time.
No-show protection on exams and fittings
Require a deposit or card-on-file for comprehensive exams and contact-lens fittings, and auto-remind every patient twice with one-tap confirm or reschedule.
How optometry practices use Slotly.
- A patient books next year's comprehensive eye exam at 10pm from your Google listing, and the intake form captures their vision plan before they hang up.
- A returning wearer schedules a contact-lens fitting with a specific doctor, and Slotly only offers times when both that OD and an exam lane are open.
- Last year's exam patients get an annual recall reminder automatically, each with a one-tap link to rebook — no one at the front desk touches the phone.
Optometrists scheduling: your questions answered
Can patients book a specific doctor and appointment type, like a comprehensive exam versus a contact fitting?
Yes. You define each optometrist, each appointment type (comprehensive exam, contact-lens fitting, follow-up) with its own duration, and which exam room or lane it needs. Patients only see slots where the doctor and the room are both available.
Does Slotly work alongside my existing EHR or practice-management software?
Slotly handles the public booking and reminder layer and syncs to your team's Google Calendar or Outlook. It complements your EHR or practice-management system rather than replacing your clinical or optical records — it is not a full practice-management suite.
Is there a free plan for a small optometry practice?
There is no free-forever plan. Slotly starts with a 14-day free trial (a card is collected to start it), then continues on a flat monthly plan. Pricing is per plan, not per patient or per booking, so it stays predictable as your schedule fills up.
