Does the doctor work that day, and is there an open slot?
Do you need to arrive early for a vision check?
How long does the visit take, so you can plan it before or after work?

Where can you see all the cards?

Eye doctor cards are grouped by city: Almaty and Astana. Each listing shows phone numbers, hours, and payment methods

For clinic owners: what to do with evening messages?

A patient picks an eye doctor in the evening, after work, once you're already closed. They message you on WhatsApp and wait until morning for a reply. ooon.ai's AI employee answers right away and books the open slot. Details are on the "AI employee for clinics" page

Where do these numbers come from?

We counted active cards in the ooon.ai database, built from 2GIS, under the category "eye doctor" Counted on October 20, 2026: 681 cards, with hours listed for 583. Each share is calculated against the group next to it

Saturday and Sunday mean that day appears in the schedule. Closing at 20:00 or later counts any weekday with that time

This is a dated sample from the ooon.ai database, not a full list of the country's eye doctors

A card with no hours listed doesn't mean the doctor isn't seeing patients

Clinic hours don't guarantee an open slot with the specific doctor you want
