We chose Optix because it has the most cutting edge system for communication with our Customers and the best Business Intelligence package on the market - allowing simple, instant access to the most important performance indicators that are critical to running our business. In truth though, we may Read more have chosen a different system if it wasn't for the excellent team behind Optix. They are focussed on their Customers, knowledgeable and never patronising when you ask a silly question. The ethos that runs through their business spreads from the top down and is reflected in everything that they do - delivering a valuable and constantly improving software system that helps you concentrate on what is important in your company.

I opened my practice from scratch 2 years ago and Optix has been an integral part of my business. I saw many systems before opening my practice through locuming and Optix is the best by far. Their customer service is second to none and help and advice always easy to understand and follow. I’d Read more highly recommend Optix as a practice software.

After using Optix for over three years we've found that it delivers time savings within the practice by simplifying routine tasks such as reminders and direct debits; provides quality information for practice staff to deal effectively with patients whilst delivering in-depth management information Read more on all aspects of the business. It's a software package which delivers now with an eye on how it can continue to evolve for the future.

We had planned a 3 month window in which to change PMS systems to Optix. Our previous supplier decided they would threaten to cut us off over a bank holiday weekend. The team at Optix, sorted data transfer and had us up and running and trained enough to work within 3 days.
Having now used the Read more system for less than 40 days, it is already like a good friend. What we don't know, support sort quickly and the system is so intuitive, you can generally work it out.
As for the business intelligence, we have barely scratched the surface, but we know we are empowered"
Our senior receptionist who has embraced, grudgingly IT over the years commented the other day "I really like this new system"

After receiving many recommendations from both industry and fellow professionals we felt we needed to, at the very least, look at Optix for our future practice needs. We needed a system that provided us with better information to manage the business side of the practice, as well as make a Read more streamlined method to manage clinical records as well as ordering to each of our suppliers. Optix does all of these (and more). The initial training was excellent-and were re-assured that to phone support for queries was not a problem and would be expected. This support has been friendly and most helpful and we feel that together we are always trying to improve our use of the software. I had always been very sceptical in software development that what is promised takes either forever to materialise or never comes as described-but with Optix we feel we are seeing all of the promised changes, and have been given time frames for other new pieces to come in later. It is a forever changing world and we feel Optix knows the needs that we face.
The Optix forum has proved a valuable meeting place for fellow, like minded, professionals and created a ‘family’ feeling as we all look to help each other to improve our practices and business ideas. An excellent forum that will keep as working with other independents and create bonds and friendships that will prove invaluable. Well done Trevor and the team.

A cloud based optical management platform is an exciting way to administer a practice. After initiating Optix with no more than two hours of instruction by telephone, we have only had to contact the help services a handful of times and all communications have been succinct and friendly. The system Read more is a joy to use and provides masses of reports as well as a huge range of user friendly functions; I would recommend Optix to anyone. The Optix email group unites users across the country, passing useful information on and creating helpful conversation. Optix is a fantastic organisation with no serious competition.

SD Haigh Opticians has now been running Optix for the last year. During that time the system has proved to be easy to understand and efficient to run.
From implementing the diary, voucher preparation, dispensing right through to recalls the system is simple to use, quick efficient and hassle Read more free. All of this is easing the pressure of work.
Errors do occasionally occur, but one call to the Support Team and the matter is dealt with in a fast, efficient and friendly manner. No problem goes unsolved.
Due to previous experience in changing to a different practice management software, the team dreaded the change to Optix but it is one of the best things we ever did.

I just want to say we should have had Optix software a long time ago, although since 2011 we have never looked back. The product and service are second to none. Our staff are happier and have more time to spend with our patients and customers.
Thanks again Trevor and team

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 using a competitor's system for many years, I was a little apprehensive about 'switching' to something new, but after looking all the other options, I took the decision to go with Optix. I am so very pleased that I did - the switchover in June 2012 went very smoothly and, thanks to the Read more excellent training, the whole team here felt comfortable with it right from the start. One of the huge assets is the support team... truly 'supportive'! You never really know how effective and helpful support will be until you use it. Optix made a point of encouraging us to contact them when needed, and everyone I have spoken to or emailed has been fantastic - really beyond expectations. They have helped us out of a few minor scrapes of our own making on a number of occasions with patience and good humour. The system itself is very capable and flexible, but easy to use. It's also good to know that there are areas of the program that we can start to use as time goes on without needing to buy extra software. The depth of information that can be gained through BI is extremely interesting and useful. In summary, I can't recommend Optix as a product and as a team highly enough!
