Question 1

What does Mikla actually do for an optometry practice?

Accepted Answer

It answers every enquiry in under a minute. The phone, your Google Business Profile, website forms, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, SMS, Yelp, and email. It books the eye exam into the right chair. It also runs your annual recall list, so next year fills itself.

Question 2

Does Mikla answer clinical or vision questions?

Accepted Answer

No. Mikla books eye exams and answers front desk questions. Hours, location, what to bring, and how long the visit takes. It gives no clinical advice. It runs no symptom triage. It will not be drawn into a conversation about treatment. Anything of that kind goes to your optometrist with the patient details attached.

Question 3

Can Mikla sort out the vision plan and medical insurance confusion?

Accepted Answer

It asks which plan the caller carries and whether a physician sent them. Then it sends the verification question to your team. Mikla does not verify benefits, confirm a frame allowance, or say which plan pays for what.

Question 4

Contact lens reorders tie up our phone all day. Does that stop?

Accepted Answer

Reorder requests move into a text thread instead of the phone queue. Mikla takes the request, confirms the details you keep on file, and passes it to your optical team to fill. Your staff stop answering the same call between exams.

Question 5

Can Mikla run our annual exam recall?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and this is where most practices leave money behind. Patients due for their yearly exam get a message on the channel they read, with two openings attached. The ones who ignore the first invitation get a second and a third.

Question 6

What about telling patients their glasses are ready?

Accepted Answer

When your optical team marks a job finished, Mikla sends the ready notice. It answers the question about your opening hours that always follows. Then it books a collection and fitting time. Finished work stops sitting in the drawer for three weeks.

Question 7

We get walk-ins browsing frames. Does this help there?

Accepted Answer

It helps by keeping your staff on the floor. When the desk phone is covered, the person who would have run to answer it stays with the patient trying on frames. That is where the optical sale is made.

Question 8

Does it work with the software we already use?

Accepted Answer

Mikla wraps around your existing intake process rather than replacing it. You decide what it collects at first contact and what only ever lives in your practice management system. Show us your setup on the demo and we will confirm the handoff.
