We moved from Optisoft and have been really delighted we made the move. Really like the Eye Exam format and the easy interface with our fundus camera. The reporting in the business intelligence element is really easy to use and is so powerful in allowing us to track our progress. And having lived Read more through a previous computer crash with no recent back-up, the security that everything is held securely on a remote server is very comforting. Also a fan of a fixed monthly fee with no up-front payment and no upgrade charges

We have two busy independent practices in Kent and were frustrated with the limitations of our last practice management system.
We have now had Optix for 2 years and have never looked back. The functionality is far superior to anything else we looked at - the Direct Debit module is easy to use and Read more saves time and money processing payments, the Business Intelligence programme makes it easy to monitor sales and other KPIs and the ability to view both practices from either work or home is particularly useful.
The fact that there are no add-ons makes the programme intuitive rather than being clunky and encourages using Optix to its full potential.
The biggest plus about using Optix is the fantastic support team who go way above and beyond the call of duty to ensure a smooth introduction to Optix and then continue to provide first class support afterwards.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Optix - it will change your business!

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.

We work hard to provide a seamless, professional service to our patients, where the patient is the main focus. It is paramount to us that our practice management system enhances this service, rather than detracts or takes away our focus from our main objective - Optix delivers on this for Read more us!
Optix has provided us with a comprehensive, stable system that fits together in such a way that we have felt able to embrace most areas that the system has to offer us - diary, patient records, paperless testing, recall, till management, reporting, dispensing, stock control and order management. Our staff found it quite organic to use so it slotted into our patient journey easily - including pre screening diary management for multiple Optoms. Where we have needed support, Optix staff have been available quickly, been very patient with us, and remained solution focussed no matter how challenging our requests may have been!
Trevor and his team have always been very amenable to new ideas, but without making false promises that have either not been delivered or been unreliable in their execution.
It is a true reflection of the engagement of the Company that Optix provide an unmoderated forum for users, where we can share best practice and ideas, as well as openly discuss changes that we feel would be of benefit.
I would certainly encourage potential customers to look at Optix - no system can be perfect for everyone but this is certainly the best fit for us.

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 have been using the Optix practice management software in our three practices for some years now and are still finding new features and discovering new benefits. Trevor Rowley's unique background as both optometrist and 100% geek provide him with an amazing insight into the needs of everyday Read more optometric practice and how to develop the software to make this happen. This is then delivered in a package that is not only incredibly intuitive but backed by amazing support and service from the team in York. These folk also listen to us, if we have a problem they sort it, if we have a good idea they listen and the program evolves - amazing!

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).

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.
