Three rings: That’s the longest I have had to wait to speak to a real person who genuinely wants to help my business continue to grow and succeed. Optix is not just a posh diary, it gives me all the key information I need to make the best decisions for me, my team and my business.
Switching to Read more Optix has enabled me to manage my team better, reduce costs by improving efficiency and I have more time to spend on the things I want to. It is rare to find a tech company that is customer service savvy, the team at Optix are always helpful, friendly and keen that you receive what you need to help your everyday business needs.
It is always daunting switching to a different practice management system, but moving to Optix has been one of my best decisions.

A move to a new PMS is never an easy decision but our dealings with Optix have demonstrated their commitment to being a market leader PMS provider with exceptional customer service. We had a difficult start and concerns about how we'd manage with the new system in the first couple of weeks which Read more were addressed seriously and thoroughly. We are sure that we have made a great choice with Optix and would recommend any practice considering a new PMS to seriously consider what is on offer, especially the friendly and easily available support.

We have been very satisfied users of Optix for the last 5 years. The system provides an efficient way to carry out many of our tasks and is a very comprehensive system. The support team have given us a good aftercare service as well

Using our previous practice management systems, and we've had a few, always felt like wading through treacle, by comparison using Optix feels like swimming with the tide under us.

Having been Optix users for over 3 years now, I can genuinely say it was one of the best business decisions I ever made. Although moving systems is always tough, the control that Optix has given us over our KPIs, business intelligence, Direct Debit payments and general practice tasks is Read more phenomenal. It is as powerful as it is intuitive, saves time (hence money!) and definitely gives you information that will change the way you do business.
Aside from the system itself, customer service is excellent and the relationship between users and the company is warm and unique – very un-corporate: A breath of fresh air!

We have been using Optix now for over 5 years and it has become an integral part of our practices.
During that time we have seen the system grow into a comprehensive management package that encompasses all you need to run a busy patient focused practice on a day to day basis (diary, record Read more keeping, dispensing, ordering, till, NHS reconciliation, direct debit payments, recall, stock control etc). Additionally Optix provides a fully integrated mailing and marketing suite combined with business intelligence and accounting tools to help us successfully manage & plan our business.
As result of the success of Optix we have seen the number of users grow many fold. Despite this the service we have received from Trevor & the support team has always been excellent and the support staff numbers have grown in line with number of users. Most issues are resolved instantly by telephone support and the team are also happy to extend their expertise to help solve problems with peripherals even when not supplied by Optix.
Another important facet of the Optix offering is Trevor's hands on approach and commitment to ongoing development. While Optix will never be a bespoke system for any individual practice Trevor and the support team are always receptive to suggestions for improvements and enhancements to the system. This via suggestions directly to telephone support, or through the unique online user group forum or at the annual user group meeting (which has also developed into quite a social event not to be missed).
We are especially looking forward to the forthcoming addition of online appointment booking and further integration of pre screening equipment. Optix has evolved into a powerful tool for independent opticians that not only makes us more efficient but also helps to differentiate our business from the competition.
I have every confidence that the improvements we have seen to Optix in the past will continue and we look forward to building our business in partnership with Trevor & the Optix team over the years to come.

We have been running our small market town practice through Optix software for 7 months now and use as much of the system as we can: diary, patient recall, GOS forms, all till transactions, all our clinical records, all contact lens and spectacle dispensing records, direct debits and utilize the Read more extensive reports available within the Optix Business Intelligence programme. We have no regrets switching from another software provider and enjoy the efficient and friendly back-up facilities provided by the Optix team on the rare(!) occasions that we have found ourselves needing assistance to operate the system. In particular the templates that we have requested within the communications function allow us to smoothly process onward referrals within the NHS, in addition to LES and LVA records and communications which saves much time and keeps these communications within the patient record.
As we enter our 25th year in practice, I feel for the first time that I am fully in control of all aspects of my business, thanks to the tools available to me through Optix and look forward to the next 25 years.

We changed to Optix nearly five years ago. Since then I have had no reason to regret the move at any time. Outstanding among the many benefits I regularly appreciate are the security afforded by their regular remote backups; the ease of moving from one record to another during a consultation; the Read more wide range of business data available whenever I want it; the remarkably cost efficient remote mailing service; the way upgrades happen overnight so as not to waste practice time and above all the fantastic support on the rare occasions that it is needed.

In my opinion, Optix is one of the best practice management systems on the market. It works best in a paperless environment and has an advanced audit trail which is fantastic at meeting record keeping requirements. The Business Intelligence feature is easy to use and customise to suit the need of Read more any Eye Care Practitioner

We were early adopters moving in Dec 2007 and attempted to be paperless from the start, we already were with another software provider beforehand.
We are a single practice unit and yet feel that we are important to Optix. They are superbly efficient in their support, particularly compared to Read more either the NHS or our previous systems. We feel we are part of an Optix family where I am often surprised by the way the Optix team understand our concerns and urgencies and do their best to help us when required. I am sure they are not perfect but as yet I have not found a time when they have not given the best possible service.
I recommend them to anyone who is looking for practice software and understands that there will likely be needed some slight changes in their present working systems to match up with the Optix profile. That profile however is a very sensible and well thought out one that often had benefits over the 'system' that we had drifted into over the years. You will not be promised personalisation to the system that then doesn't arrive, you have to accept that you match the system that everyone else uses
