SMS for Optometrists
Confirm eye test bookings, text patients the moment their glasses are ready to collect and run frame sale campaigns to your whole patient list.
Full appointment books, quicker collections
An optometry practice runs on appointment slots and stock waiting in a drawer for someone to come back for it. A missed eye test wastes a chair for the day, and a finished pair of glasses left uncollected for weeks is money sitting in the till instead of in a patient's hands. Australian optometrists use Mobile Message to confirm eye test bookings, text patients the second their glasses or contact lenses are ready at the front counter, and run frame and lens sale campaigns to their whole patient list when stock needs to move.
Mobile Message lets your practice text from a recognised business name, with every reply, from a reschedule request to a quick fitting question, landing in a shared inbox your front desk can manage between patients. It costs from 1.6¢ per message with no monthly fees or contracts, and you can import your patient list from a CSV or connect your practice software through the REST API so reminders and collection notices go out without extra admin.
Frame and lens sale campaigns
Run seasonal offers, like an EOFY frames and lenses discount, out to your whole patient database with an opt-out included.
Eye test appointment reminders
Confirm the time, remind patients to arrive a few minutes early and cut down on no-shows.
Ready for collection notices
Let a patient know the moment their new glasses or contact lenses are ready at the front counter.
Reschedules and questions by reply
A patient can reply to change a time or ask a quick fitting question, straight into your shared inbox.
Recall reminders
Bring patients back for their next eye test on schedule instead of relying on them to remember.
