The front-desk loop

Check your missed calls. It’s the same eye-care calls on repeat.

Different patients, one pattern: a caller checking whether you’re in their VSP network, a recall patient due for an annual exam, and a contact-lens reorder — arriving over lunch, at night, and on weekends, exactly when your desk is buried and your optometrist is mid-exam.

  1. 01
    Do you take VSP? What will my exam cost?

    The plan-and-price question that decides whether a caller books with you or the practice down the street — answered live it becomes an exam, sent to voicemail it walks.

    vision plan
  2. 02
    I'm due for my annual eye exam — can I get in?

    The recall-driven comprehensive exam that keeps the schedule full — booked when someone answers, forgotten when the call rolls over after 5.

    exam booking
  3. 03
    I need to reorder my contacts.

    A routine dispensary reorder that ties up the desk mid-clinic — and quietly lapses if the patient can't get through and buys online instead.

    optical
  4. 04
    I'm seeing flashes and a shadow in my vision.

    Not a booking question — a symptom that is captured, never assessed, and routed to your clinical team immediately so a real emergency never sits in a queue.

    clinical
  5. 05
    Are my new glasses ready to pick up?

    The optical-dispensary status call that repeats all day — answered on the spot it frees the desk, unanswered it becomes another hold and another walk-in wait.

    dispensary

The patient who can’t get through is booking with the next optometrist on the list — or buying their contacts online. A system should book the exam, verify the plan, and keep the reorder before yours ever rings out.

What is an AI receptionist for optometry practices?

It books the exam and verifies the plan — it doesn’t practice optometry.

An AI receptionist for optometry practices answers every call, chat, and text the moment it arrives — 24/7, in 70+ languages — books the comprehensive or contact-lens eye exam, verifies your vision-plan network and eligibility on the call, and takes the frames or contact-lens reorder that keeps optical revenue in the practice. It works the annual-exam recall and delivers it all to Compulink, RevolutionEHR, or Crystal PM via your scoped integration. It is HIPAA-compliant and signs a BAA. Crucially it is reception only — it never diagnoses, never interprets a symptom, and never gives medical eye advice, and any urgent symptom routes to the optometrist immediately.

The difference a patient feels

An answering service takes a message. Lumi books the exam and keeps the optical sale.

A voicemail or answering service

  • Takes a name and number for someone to call back
  • Can't tell a caller whether you're in their vision-plan network
  • Lets the annual-exam recall list sit untouched
  • Sends the contact-lens reorder to a voicemail — and to a competitor
  • Rolls to voicemail after hours and all weekend

Lumi

  • Books the comprehensive eye exam live on your calendar
  • Verifies your vision-plan network and eligibility on the call
  • Takes the frames and contact-lens reorder and logs it for your team
  • Works the annual-recall list so exam chairs stay full
  • Answers at 2 AM in 70+ languages — HIPAA-compliant, BAA signed

A message in the morning is an exam booked elsewhere and a contact order shipped by a retailer. A booked exam with the plan verified is the patient you keep — intake clean, symptoms routed, and the reorder captured, with the annual recall held warm.

Answering the call is just the front door

One agent for the whole front desk — and route every clinical symptom to your optometrist.

Whatever comes through your phones, Lumi handles the front-desk work — booking the exam, verifying the vision plan, taking the optical reorder, keeping the recall warm — and hands anything clinical to the right person.

One front desk, every channel

Voice, SMS, web chat, WhatsApp, email — every exam request, reorder, and reschedule answered in one place, so no patient reaches a voicemail box after your optical closes for the night.

Books the exam, verifies the plan

Reads your calendar, books the comprehensive or contact-lens exam, and confirms your vision-plan eligibility on the call — then delivers the visit and intake to Compulink, RevolutionEHR, or Crystal PM via your scoped integration so your team opens a clean record.

HIPAA-compliant, BAA signed

Built to be HIPAA-compliant and signs a Business Associate Agreement — baseline for handling patient information, with an audit trail on every interaction.

Reception, never clinical advice

Lumi answers logistics and books exams. It never diagnoses, never interprets a symptom, never offers medical eye advice — anything clinical routes to your optometrist, and an urgent symptom escalates immediately.

Keeps the annual recall warm

Calls and texts patients due for their yearly comprehensive exam, recovers no-shows, and fills the gaps — so the most predictable revenue in the practice never sits on a list no one has time to work.

On top of the software you run

Compulink, RevolutionEHR, Crystal PM, Eyefinity — Lumi works on top of the systems your team already runs, from the exam schedule to the optical order; direct read-write ships via a scoped API integration. No rip-and-replace.

Two jobs, one front desk

Fill the exam chair — then keep the optical sale and the annual recall.

An optometry practice lives on two motions at once: turning a plan-and-price call into a booked exam, and closing the loop from prescription to optical order to next year’s recall. Lumi does both — the exam and the follow-through — without pulling your optometrist out of the lane.

The exam starts on the phone

The “do you take my plan?” call is an exam waiting to book.

A caller checking whether you’re in their VSP or EyeMed network is a booked comprehensive exam if someone answers before the next practice does. Lumi picks up calm, verifies the vision-plan benefit and states the copay, and books the exam — capturing the intake and delivering it to Compulink or RevolutionEHR through your scoped integration so your team opens a clean record, not a message slip.

  • Verifies the vision planYour vision-plan network and eligibility — confirmed on the call so the caller stops shopping and books.
  • Books the comprehensive examLive on your calendar, at 2 AM or on a Sunday — before the next optometrist on the list picks up.
  • Captures a clean intakePatient and plan details delivered to your PMS via your scoped integration, so the front desk starts warm — the optometrist owns the eye health.

Then Lumi closes the loop and comes back next year

The exam-to-optical-to-recall cycle, held together every year.

  1. Day 0
    The exam books

    A plan-and-price call becomes a booked comprehensive exam — Lumi verifies the vision-plan benefit and captures the intake; the optometrist owns the eye health.

  2. Visit day
    Exam & Rx

    The patient is seen and the optometrist writes the prescription — Lumi confirms the appointment and answers the copay, timing, and what-to-bring logistics around it.

  3. Same week
    The optical order

    Glasses or a contact-lens supply gets ordered — Lumi answers dispensary status and takes the reorder, so the sale doesn't leak to an online retailer.

  4. 12 months
    Annual recall

    The yearly comprehensive exam comes due — Lumi works the recall, rebooks the patient, and re-verifies the plan year so the chair fills again on schedule.

Every missed recall is a chair that stays empty and an optical sale that ships from a website. Lumi books, verifies, and recovers the annual comprehensive exam and takes the reorder — so the cycle stays full and revenue stays in the practice, while everything clinical stays with the optometrist.

Built for a practice bound by HIPAA

Hard boundaries for optometry calls.

A patient-intake line for an eye-care practice needs walls, not improvisation. These four are wired in before the first call — so the front desk books and verifies, but never crosses into diagnosis or medical eye advice.

HIPAA-compliant, BAA signed

Lumi is built to be HIPAA-compliant and signs a Business Associate Agreement with your practice — baseline for handling patient information, not an add-on. It handles the minimum necessary and logs every interaction.

It never diagnoses or gives eye advice

Lumi is a patient-intake receptionist, not clinical staff. It books exams, verifies vision plans, takes optical reorders, and answers logistics like pricing and hours. It never diagnoses, never interprets a symptom or a reading, and never offers medical eye advice — every clinical question routes to your optometrist.

An urgent symptom reaches a human now

Sudden vision loss, eye pain, or new flashes and floaters are captured and routed to your clinical team immediately, per your protocol — never assessed, never queued behind a booking. Nothing clinical is ever managed by the AI alone.

On top of your stack, never instead of it

Lumi works on top of Compulink, RevolutionEHR, Crystal PM, or your existing PMS — direct read-write rides your integration path, a scoped API integration. You keep the systems you run; there's no rip-and-replace and nothing to migrate.

Questions, answered

What optometry practices ask before switching on Lumi.

Can Lumi verify a patient's vision plan before booking?

Yes — it's one of the main reasons optometry practices switch it on. Lumi confirms VSP, EyeMed, and other vision-plan eligibility on the call and states the copay you've authorized it to quote, so the "do you take my plan?" question becomes a booked comprehensive exam instead of a caller who hangs up and dials the next practice. What it can confirm and quote is scoped to what your practice approves.

Does it give patients any medical or eye-health advice?

No. Lumi is a patient-intake receptionist, not clinical staff. It books exams, verifies plans, takes optical reorders, and answers logistics, and it routes every clinical question to your optometrist. It never diagnoses, never interprets a symptom or a prescription, and never gives medical eye advice. Clinical judgment always stays with your team.

What happens when a patient calls with an urgent eye symptom?

Lumi captures the concern and routes on your protocol. Sudden vision loss, eye pain, or new flashes and floaters route to your clinical team immediately, with the details captured — never assessed, never queued behind a booking. The point isn't for AI to judge an eye emergency; it's to make sure a patient with an urgent symptom reaches your defined pathway instead of a voicemail greeting.

Does it work with our practice-management and EHR software?

Yes. Lumi works alongside the software you already run — Compulink, RevolutionEHR, Crystal PM, and Eyefinity, among others. Standard deployments carry bookings, reorders, and call outcomes by scheduling links and task handoffs, keeping PHI out of CRM integrations; direct EHR/PMS read-write is available through Redox or a custom API connection as a separate engagement. No migration, nothing new to learn. Running a different system? Ask us.

Can it actually keep optical and recall revenue, or just answer calls?

Keeping the exam chair and the optical sale is the whole point. Lumi works your annual-exam recall on a steady cadence, follows up no-shows, and takes contact-lens and frames reorders before they leak to an online retailer — all logged and handed to your team as it goes. Inbound answering keeps you from losing exams; the recall and reorder workflows are what put revenue back on the schedule.

Is it HIPAA-compliant?

Yes. Lumi is built to be HIPAA-compliant and signs a Business Associate Agreement with your practice as baseline. It handles the minimum necessary and logs every interaction for an audit trail.
