Appointments
Designed for use on the reception desk, the Appointment System performs all
the tasks associated with a manual system, but being computerised, it can
be accessed on any screen within your practice. This allows an Optician to
check their schedule, or see if the next patient has arrived, without leaving
the examination room.
