Methodology and assumptions
- *AI captures 90% of previously missed calls (excludes spam and misdials)
- *Labor savings modeled at 55% of current front desk cost (AI handles after-hours and overflow)
- *Missed call rate baseline of 35% from vision correction clinic industry data
- *Procedure value based on Canadian LASIK/PRK average ($3,500-$5,000 per procedure, both eyes)
- *Revenue recognized at time of procedure (single-event revenue model)
- *Service cost is your input. Pricing is custom, scoped to your clinic on a 15-min call.
Why LASIK clinics lose patients to missed calls
Three times as many people inquire about LASIK as actually proceed with surgery.
Three times as many people inquire about LASIK as actually proceed with surgery. That means call volume is high and conversion is the challenge, not awareness. When a prospective patient calls to ask about candidacy or pricing and gets voicemail, they call another clinic. At $4,000 to $5,000 per procedure, the revenue impact of a 35% missed call rate adds up quickly.
An AI receptionist answers every call around the clock, books free consultations directly into your scheduling system, and sends follow-up reminders, so no inquiry falls through the cracks. Your clinical staff can focus on the consultations and procedures while Aida manages the phone volume.

How much does a missed consultation cost a LASIK clinic?
At $3,500 to $5,000 CAD per LASIK procedure (Canadian average) and a typical consultation-to-surgery conversion rate of 60-70%, each missed consultation inquiry represents approximately $2,100 to $3,500 in lost procedure revenue.
How quickly does an AI receptionist pay for itself at a LASIK clinic?
One recovered consultation inquiry that converts to surgery covers approximately 12 to 17 months of service fees. At default inputs, payback is under 7 days.
