Optix is now the clear market leader in providing real time management information which is critical to all optical businesses during these challenging economic times. The system is fully scalable and has helped facilitate the smooth expansion of our practice network at a time when other optical Read more groups are struggling. I would happily recommend Optix to anyone seeking to upgrade their management information systems.

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.

We were very worried when moving from paper to computer. 80% of the staff are over 40 and had not used a computer in the workplace never mind used a PMS. The training provided gave us confidence straight away and the telephone support is second to none.
It has allowed us to expand the practice but Read more reduce costs at the same time. We no longer needed the accountant to do all the book keeping and the monthly figures which reduced our overheads and among other things we implemented a direct debit scheme for Contact Lens wearers which increased profits.

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!

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.

Optix was my first and only practice software. It contains everything you could possibly need to run a practice (even remotely) including a forum for other Optix users to ask questions, swap frames, and even tell jokes. The support team are always helpful and prompt at solving any issues or Read more submitting requests for future updates.

You expect technical excellence and savvy computing solutions from any IT provider and Optix are well ahead of the curve, however what sets Optix apart is the ease of access to skilled support staff ingrained with a genuine passion to be the best in the field.

When looking, some 10 years ago for a new practice management system I happened upon a new company on the market place. Being the inquisitive sort that I am, I dipped my toe in the fresh new water of this new company "Optix", used their system and I am delighted to say they have kept my boat Read more floating ever since.
Ever wishing to push forward the boundary of user friendliness and always listening to its customers, this company has done for this practice and for many others the huge favour of removing the not insignificant burden of records back up, record management, accounting, and practice admin tasks from the hum-drum of daily practice..
There is not one other optical management system out there which combines ease of use, intuitive interfaces and second-to-none support.
It is difficult to envisage how one practised all those yeas ago without the support and willingness to solve problems that the Software and the team behind optix. It is testament to their dedication and hard work that this software has become the de-facto standard to which all other optical managment systems must look.
I know that this all seems rather a "too-good-to-be-true" scenario, but I find it difficult to be critical about a piece of software the simply "does what its say on the tin" without fuss and has the support of a team of dedicated people, whose uniform belief that it is "product pride" is what business is all about.
