We have been satisfied users of Optix for three years, having moved following several expert recommendations.
Our business has benefited greatly from this comprehensive software system, linking the three practices much closer together than before. Staff have found it easy and intuitive to use, Read more whilst we enjoy the peace of mind that remote data storage brings. The Business Intelligence module provides in-depth analysis of practice performance helping us to plan and modify routines and the Optix community email forum is a brilliant way to hear the views of like-minded independent practitioners. We strongly recommend Optix software to our independent colleagues.

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.

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!

For me the change to Optix has probably been the best business decision I have made. Optix is a superb tool that interacts with your patient at every part of the patients journey. It is so flexible that you can use as much or as little as you want without making things complicated, but the more you Read more use the better it gets.
As a company Optix is great to work with from outstanding phone support, to in practice training and yearly user group meetings not to mention the online forum.
I have no hesitation in recommending Optix to any Optician from a single site to small groups.

Optix has enabled us to feel secure in our patient records and given us detailed knowledge of how the business is functioning on a daily basis. After nearly 30 years of running the business "by the seat of our pants" it has given us great peace of mind and a secure basis to grow the business. The Read more BI is a mine of information and Optix itself is constantly improving and actually listens to its client base and implements changes that are requested. Nothing is perfect but the guys at York try to deliver as near as damn it

Miltons Eyecare was one of the first practices to make use of Optix Software. Over the last 10 to 12 years Optix has made huge advances in the Optometric Soft Wear field to what I believe is today the Industry Standard. The company never stands still. It listens to the needs of its customers which Read more in itself drives progress.
Support is great. Optix is vast. One can make use of the different modules to suit individual practice needs. I am sure the BI Module is the most advanced of any contemporary program available.
Although we ourselves do not use Optix in it’s full capacity I can only say that we have been totally happy with the service received and hence have never felt the need to move away.

As a long standing Optix Enterprise multi-site user it is not an exaggeration to say that it has positively transformed and enhanced the way we operate our business. Optix enables an invaluable overview of the business at all times, especially using the BI reporting.
Our adoption of the Direct Read more Debit System has provided marked improvements in terms of efficiency and flexibility with our regular payment plans also.
We have demonstrated Optix to several independent colleagues , many of them are now Optix users themselves. I honestly believe that Optix is the best Optical Practice Management System available.

Having abandoned other Management Systems I was initially apprehensive about trying another system. However following recommendations from several colleagues I decided to install the Optix system. As expected it takes time to get used to the system but the support team is excellent, they are always Read more there to guide us through any problem, even if we make the same mistake twice.
Rather than adopting the full system from Day One I am adding components as our confidence improves and we are able to change haw the practice functions. I am confident that before long we shall be "paperless".

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!

Optix is a fantastic system that is the backbone of our practice. It has many sophisticated applications like the Direct Debit system and marketing function yet it is simple and intuitive to use. Whats-more the support staff are friendly and patient and really take on board your comments and Read more suggestions. It is a great system with great people behind it, that is constantly evolving and innovating. I couldn't be without it.
