Apart from a great Practice Management System (that does everything you want it to do and more) and fantastic support staff (who are so knowledgeable and helpful), Optix is also a community of positive, like-minded people who all want to have the best and give the best to their patients and staff.

I have been a happy Optix user since 2007. The software helps to run a modern, efficient practice and keeps relevant information at my fingertips. The reporting from Optix BI means that I know far more about my practice performance than before for minimal additional effort on my part. The support Read more team and continuing development of new features keeps us up and running and up to date.

Having used four different software systems over several years working for other practices I had a fair idea what I wanted and did not want for my new practice. I had a list of my needs and what I wanted from a computer system. Something that I did not have to add expensive modules on to when I Read more decided I needed them or could afford them but a management system that would do everything I wanted to from the start. A computer system that helped me make sense of the information I was gathering and that did not make my life difficult. A company that respected me as a user and did not patronise me as if I did not know what I was talking about. I did all the research and there was no contest, Optix definitely ticked the most boxes by a long way. - it was the clear winner and in the end the obvious and natural choice. Everyone gets the whole system for one price and it is regularly upgraded with input to developments and improvements from the users. It is an intuitive system and having trained staff on other software that I realised was particularly valuable. The learning curve is eased by the subtle familiarity of the screen layout. BI - so much useful information that we are learning how to make work for us as we explore it further. Reports we think we need, did not realise we needed and may one day need. Support - I cannot say enough in praise of the support team. The best thing is we do not have to phone them too often as problems are not a big feature of our weekly routine. We are reassured, however, that they are always there and so when we do stupid things, or even if the computer does it, they are gracious and helpful and get it sorted. For those who like computers there is lots to explore, for those who see them as a necessary evil there is a simpler functionality that will appeal. You are supposed to learn something new every day and Optix continues to teach us daily so we can gradually aspire to exploiting its full potential, which is immense.

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.

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.

Using our previous practice management systems, and we've had a few, always felt like wading through treacle, by comparison using Optix feels like swimming with the tide under us.

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 have been using Optix for nearly 10 years now and I can certainly say it is one of those essential, 'must have', tools that every practice needs. The software does everything you need it to including paperless clinical records, managing our contact lens direct debits and sending out patient Read more recalls, just to name a few of its features. The easy to use software is well thought out and very user friendly. The Optix BI interface helps me look at my KPIs on a regular basis without too much hassle at just a click of a button. The support team are excellent and very knowledgeable and you have access to all the senior management team for help and advice. What is fantastic about Optix is that the software continues to evolve. Every year the team work hard to give us some new features, usually things that are well ahead of the other systems out there. As an independent practice, I feel that we can compete and offer services that many larger optical companies do thanks to Optix.

We have been satisfied users of Optix for three years, having moved following several expert recommendations.

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.
