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.

Optix has been a transformation to our practice management. It works faultlessly and any queries are dealt with immediately by support. The biggest difference that sets Optix apart is its superb support team who are so helpful and knowledgeable and consistently over deliver. The forum is also Read more excellent and the fact that practitioners opinions are there for all to see keeps standards sky high. The BI reports module is great and much more comprehensive than any other I've experienced...plus it ALL WORKS!! Would recommend 100% to anyone.

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.

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 joined the Optix Team in 2008 and although we operate from sunnier climes in the Caribbean with a different national health system we have found the Optix programme made a tremendous improvement to our business. The Optix team worked assiduously in setting up the programme liaising with Read more technicians in Trinidad and ensuring that we obtained the best possible operation with the Optix Programme. We are an independent practice and are delighted to be part of the Optix group where we can network with other members in the Usergroup. The support from the Optix team and through the Usergroup is second to none when it comes to matters related to Optix, optometry and running an optical business.

I am a great supporter of Optix. I have used them for some years and have been very pleased with the complete package. The software is not just a booking and record system but a package able to run multiple sites. It is very reassuring to know that with the software there is a great support team Read more behind to help with all you needs. I am very happy to recommend this product and have done.

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!

I have never regretted changing to the Optix system. Compared to our previous system our staff find it both intuitive and easy to use and what is even more impressive is how Trevor and his team work constantly to improve their product and listen to feedback from their customers to do so. The Read more support team are excellent and always on hand to sort out any queries quickly and efficiently and the Business Intelligence module provides us with an in depth analysis of our business in an easy to understand way. All in all a great product.

We’ve used other practice software before BUT I’ve never had the standard of service we get from Optix they treat all clients as special so I thought I should return the compliment What makes Optix special? What makes Optix tix? It’s all their good folks who’ll get you out of a fix! Read more

Pleasant chaps, and now two chapesses

will help sort out all of your messes.



TeamViewer ON and here they come,

controlling your screen,

saving the hour,

I’m sure they have some Superpower.



They have terrific software and tools for business too.

Intelligence they call it, which will definitely help you

to improve your margins and make lots of dosh.

So you can buy a new Beemer or Porsche.



and more importantly get time off to play golf!

Having implemented Optix in our first practice 2009, I can honestly say I've never looked back and would do so again without a moment's hesitation. It is a very comprehensive, well thought-out practice management system and has allowed us to do so much, from refining and improving the day-to-day Read more running of our practices through to running sophisticated database enquiries helping us to contact our patients and drive the business forward. I was initially wary of using a web-based system due to concerns about security and reliability but, bar the odd short wobble in broadband supply (due to external factors) it has been pretty seamless, and actually having a system which is easily accessible remotely has proved an absolute lifeline when the unexpected has happened.



Optix is constantly evolving to try and meet it's users' requirements, and the support team are extremely helpful and approachable. The facility to be able to raise any issues and debate the system's intricacies in the Usergroup forum is also so helpful. I doubt it is possible to create a 'perfect' one-size-fits-all system but it is certainly nice to be listened to and have your comments taken on board and I think this is probably as close as it gets!
