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.

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.

Great system, great people.
The team are always very enthusiastic to receive our input and to apply fine tuning, to what I believe is already the best management software out there.

We are in our tenth year as a user of Optix and quite simply it has become the cornerstone of our practice! it is simple to use, quick to respond, robust and reliable. I Have used many practice management systems both 'off the shelf' and 'bespoke' and quite simply none of them are a shade on Optix. Read more Our Optometrist loves the clinical modules, the staff love the diary and dispensing modules, My wife loves the administration functions and I get a fantastic insight into the performance of my business from the Business Intelligence module. The functionality of the system pays for itself in man hours saved, allowing us to focus more time on our patients. If you are thinking of switching to Optix, it really is a no brainer!

I chose Optix for my practices for it’s seamless performance, vast functionality and extensive business reports & intelligence. Having acquired practices with two very different and inferior practice management systems, I can honestly say that Optix was the right choice out of all the various Read more software options that were showcased at Optrafair two years ago. My concerns about the downtime implications of an internet based system were quickly allayed when I was shown the option to be able to use locally stored data backups in the rare event of network faults or failures. At the very most, we have had only niggling issues which have largely been due to our ISP as opposed to Optix. The support team are fantastic and the company ethos of customer care and value that Trevor and his team have created is incredible. Even if a computer issue is not an Optix fault they team are always willing to dial in and help to diagnose and fix the issue.
Optix are, rightly, so confident in their system that they don’t have an initial payment of thousands of price with surcharges for additional licences and monthly support fees. One reasonable fee does the lot and you are not tied in for years. 30 days notice and you can move to another system. But why would you want to when Optix gives you everything you need to run a successful practice in an ever more competitive marketplace.
Ultimately, Optix is made with the end user in mind. All user feedback is regularly reviewed by the development team and suggestions are often incorporated into subsequent upgrades. It’s a system that ‘s defined by the customers and created by Optix. Like many practice owner/managers out there, I am a busy individual and need a reliable system with a decent level of support. No other system even comes close to giving me what I require. For me, Optix wasn’t just an option – it was, by far, the best solution for my needs.

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.

After a whole year of indecision over which new computer system to install in our practice, in August 2012 I finally decide to install Optix because I liked the idea of a system that is constantly updated, providing constant support and constant offsite backup of data using the latest cloud Read more system.
I also liked the idea that there is no long term contract and that Optix provides the appropriate hardware and Internet connection. It really is a one stop shop.
The initial installation, was smooth and trouble free, support has been fantastic even though early on we were calling several times a day with the most trivial problems. The fact that they can remotely access your computer and take you through the system is extremely effective. All the staff at Optix are very knowledgeable and whoever you speak to is able to guide you.
So far I have been very happy with the software, all the team find it very easy to use and new members of staff need very minimal training to use it. NHS reconciliation and the till/BI modules work very well for us. I have gained on the monthly NHS returns because we can easily cross check the number of GOS forms that have to be submitted and nothing gets lost!
I am looking forward to moving on to phase 2 where we will utilise some of the modules that we do not yet use such as full dispensing and contact lenses.

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.

Since migrating to Optix from our previous management software, we have been very happy with the programme itself as well the support in particular. The support team are always very willing to sort any queries out instantly. The features of optix we have really found excellent are the Direct Debit Read more module as well as the remote postage system which both work exceptionally well and have saved us a lot in both time and expense. Another feature which has proved invaluable is the user forum which has provided solutions and inspiration to many issues related to the day to day running of our practices.

We have now been with Optix for twelve months and cannot recommend it highly enough. The support team are without a doubt the best group we have ever had the pleasure of calling, nothing is too small a problem for them to take the time to chat you through until it’s fully ingrained! The various Read more integrations that also make practice day to day life so much simpler, for example the reminder letters, in built text message on-line ordering system make it much easier to do the job that I should be doing, Dispensing! Feedback is taken on board and carefully considered, and quite often things are changed to accommodate us! We love it, what more can we say!
