Compared to other software management systems used (Optisoft, Iris and briefly See2020), for us, the package is by far the most comprehensive and secure without having to worry about modules, backups or upgrades. The system works well and even when you think it is working effectively, through the Read more forward thinking and common sense approach of the MD, Trevor, as well as the knowledgeable feedback from the growing Optix community, it only gets better and better. The last major update saw a cost effective and time saving solution to our recall letters and patient communications.
In fact, I would wholeheartedly recommend Optix purely on their service levels alone. The support team have never failed to respond to any queries or training issues and are able to communicate with you whatever the level of your computer skills. It's hard to know whether it is wonderful recruitment or just great training but they all seem to have the patience of saints. Many thanks for supporting our practice.

Choosing the right computer system for your business is essential for success. Having used Optix for two and a half years now, I am confident we made the right decision for Eyesite. They have a good understanding of the business side of optics with the Business Intelligence module, as well as Read more developing the clinical, dispensing and reception elements to help run a practice more efficiently and effectively on a day to day basis.
I would encourage people thinking about changing systems to look very closely at what they need from a system and spend the necessary time to ensure they make the right choice.

I have been through several IT installs and Optix is far and above the best experience we have had, their service & support has been fabulous and Matthew & Anthony were brilliant at our installation and on-site training.
I have been simply amazed at how well the system works, but to be honest the Read more stand out feature for me is the Optix team; whoever we speak to is friendly, relaxed and helpful, they can always answer questions/fix problems so quickly that on the rare occasion I have had to call I can do this confidently between appointments with no break in the smooth flow of the clinic (at least not for IT issues anyhow...).
A whole world away from my last PMS provider who had an 8 hour response time and did not appear to understand the software they provided!
Very many thanks again - highly recommended to anyone in the market for a fabulous IT system for their practice(s).

I am a great supporter of Optix. I have used them for some years and have been very pleased with the complete package. The software is not just a booking and record system but a package able to run multiple sites. It is very reassuring to know that with the software there is a great support team Read more behind to help with all you needs. I am very happy to recommend this product and have done.

We spent time researching the market for a replacement for our practice management system, our research quickly established Optix as the strongest candidate and discussions with users and the Optix team confirmed our decision to adopt Optix for our 19 practices.
Throughout our initial Read more deliberations, Trevor was very straight and supportive and once confirmed, the installation and training programme was completed, as promised and on schedule. A big help in this was our decision for Optix to supply all of the hardware and software for the installation and resulted in only one point of contact for any questions or problems. The Support team have provided an invaluable service following installation, reinforcing the initial training and answering the many questions that arise with the use of a new system.
We are now entering our fifth month as users and whilst we still have a lot to learn, both about using the general system and the information provided by the Business Intelligence resource; we can only ask why didn’t we do this earlier.

Optix is a fantastic company to work with. For us it means all our computing needs are under one roof. The customer support is excellent and everyone there goes above and beyond to help.

If anyone were to ask me what one thing I would hate to be without in our practice, it would without doubt be our Optix Management System.
Far superior to our previous software, it’s basically like having an indispensable member of staff present all the time. Paying the same monthly fee, which we Read more consider to be great value, irrespective of how many features we used, quickly paved the way to our becoming a virtually paperless practice. It is so intuitive, incredibly flexible, can be accessed from home, provides fantastically in depth business reports but most importantly has the best support service you could ever wish for.
All of the Optix staff are incredibly well trained, patient and unbelievably conscientious. Trevor Rowley has such pride in the system that we are assured of continual product development, a prime example being the latest direct marketing tool.
Judith and I have recommended Optix to so many people and I am delighted to say that all have been come on board as happy users. So, in one word....Invaluable!

Having implemented Optix in our first practice 2009, I can honestly say I've never looked back and would do so again without a moment's hesitation. It is a very comprehensive, well thought-out practice management system and has allowed us to do so much, from refining and improving the day-to-day Read more running of our practices through to running sophisticated database enquiries helping us to contact our patients and drive the business forward. I was initially wary of using a web-based system due to concerns about security and reliability but, bar the odd short wobble in broadband supply (due to external factors) it has been pretty seamless, and actually having a system which is easily accessible remotely has proved an absolute lifeline when the unexpected has happened.
Optix is constantly evolving to try and meet it's users' requirements, and the support team are extremely helpful and approachable. The facility to be able to raise any issues and debate the system's intricacies in the Usergroup forum is also so helpful. I doubt it is possible to create a 'perfect' one-size-fits-all system but it is certainly nice to be listened to and have your comments taken on board and I think this is probably as close as it gets!

Gardiner Opticians introduced Optix 6 months ago, having used paper for virtually everything before - we had more filing cabinets than anything else in the practice.
After a few weeks of entering our product catalogues into the system, we moved over to Optix overnight. All our systems were running Read more on Optix - clinical records, dispensing, recall letters, the till, product catalogues and ordering. It was a tough week or two adapting our whole way of working, but within a few weeks everyone was beginning to appreciate the benefits it could bring.
The support and training involved in moving from systems where virtually everything was done on paper to a completely computerised system in a matter of weeks was enormous. Optix support has been excellent all along. We can now access business information in seconds that previously took hours of painstaking analysis of paper records. We can finally start thinking about moving out some of those filing cabinets. I can’t imagine how we managed without it for so long!

After a few false starts with other PMS systems, we started using Optix in 2009. Since then, the software has added bells and whistles to make it the complete software solution for any optometric practice, large or small. You can chose to use all the available options or cherry pick the ones that Read more will work best for your team. With an unfailing, friendly and enthusiastic support team, integrating Optix into your business will be one of the best decisions you can make.
