Annual Eye Check-up Reminder WhatsApp Template for Opticians & Eye Care
A ready-to-adapt WhatsApp message for opticians, optical stores and eye clinics, with placeholders, sample values and compliance notes.
When to Send This Message
Send about a year after the last test. For opticians, optical stores and eye clinics, this is one of the everyday messages that keeps customers informed without a phone call. Most businesses send it automatically from their software, so the timing is consistent.
Customers choose an optical store for eye tests, frame choice and trust in lens quality.
The WhatsApp Template
Dear {{1}}, it has been a year since your last eye test at [Business Name]. Regular check-ups keep your prescription up to date. Reply BOOK to schedule.[Business Name]
Example with sample values
Dear Ms. Kulkarni, it has been a year since your last eye test at [Business Name]. Regular check-ups keep your prescription up to date. Reply BOOK to schedule.
Replace [Business Name] with your registered brand name. Links shown use example.com as a placeholder; use your own domain.
Placeholders and Sample Values
| Placeholder | Meaning | Sample value |
|---|---|---|
| {{1}} | Customer | Ms. Kulkarni |
Filling in each placeholder
- Customer (sample: Ms. Kulkarni): Use the first name or the salutation the customer gave you; fall back to a neutral greeting if the field is empty.
This template has 1 placeholder and a body of 157 characters before values are filled in. WhatsApp allows up to 1,024 characters in a template body, but short messages with one clear action get the best response.
Category and Approval
Utility templates must relate to a specific transaction, account or request the customer already has with you, such as a confirmation, reminder or status update. Do not add offers or promotional lines, as Meta may reclassify the template as marketing.
Compliance Checklist
- Variables are numbered in order and you provide sample values when submitting; avoid starting or ending the body with a variable.
- Links point to your own website or a trusted domain, and button labels are short and clear.
- Marketing messages include an easy way to opt out, and opt-outs are honoured promptly.
Rules to keep in mind for Opticians & Eye Care
Eye examinations should be carried out by qualified optometrists or ophthalmologists, and health claims about lenses must be accurate. Prescription details are health data and should be shared only with the customer.
General guidance, not legal advice. Rules change, so confirm current requirements before launch. See our WhatsApp compliance guide for India.
Tips for Better Results
- Use the customer's name and a reference number so the message is easy to trust and to search for later.
- Send it as close as possible to the event it relates to, such as right after booking or the day before an appointment.

Questions About This Template
When should a optical store send the annual eye check-up reminder message?
Send about a year after the last test. Sending it at a consistent time builds trust and reduces follow-up calls.
Do WhatsApp templates need approval?
Yes. Business-initiated messages outside the 24-hour customer service window must use a template approved by Meta. Approval is usually quick, but templates can be rejected or re-categorised if they break the guidelines.
Can I change the wording?
Yes. Adapt the text to your business, but keep it clear and specific, keep variables in order and submit realistic sample values. Any change to an approved template needs re-approval.
Can DND Teams set this up for my optical store?
Yes. We adapt the template to your business, register or submit it, and connect it to your software or our panel. Share your use case on WhatsApp or through the form.
