It’s difficult to put into words how good Optix is, that’s because it’s seamless and an integral part of our business. I can honestly say that having tried the other major systems available, Optix gives us the tools and professional support to operate our business at a different level.

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.

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 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 have been using Optix now for over 5 years and it has become an integral part of our practices.
During that time we have seen the system grow into a comprehensive management package that encompasses all you need to run a busy patient focused practice on a day to day basis (diary, record Read more keeping, dispensing, ordering, till, NHS reconciliation, direct debit payments, recall, stock control etc). Additionally Optix provides a fully integrated mailing and marketing suite combined with business intelligence and accounting tools to help us successfully manage & plan our business.
As result of the success of Optix we have seen the number of users grow many fold. Despite this the service we have received from Trevor & the support team has always been excellent and the support staff numbers have grown in line with number of users. Most issues are resolved instantly by telephone support and the team are also happy to extend their expertise to help solve problems with peripherals even when not supplied by Optix.
Another important facet of the Optix offering is Trevor's hands on approach and commitment to ongoing development. While Optix will never be a bespoke system for any individual practice Trevor and the support team are always receptive to suggestions for improvements and enhancements to the system. This via suggestions directly to telephone support, or through the unique online user group forum or at the annual user group meeting (which has also developed into quite a social event not to be missed).
We are especially looking forward to the forthcoming addition of online appointment booking and further integration of pre screening equipment. Optix has evolved into a powerful tool for independent opticians that not only makes us more efficient but also helps to differentiate our business from the competition.
I have every confidence that the improvements we have seen to Optix in the past will continue and we look forward to building our business in partnership with Trevor & the Optix team over the years to come.

We have two busy independent practices in Kent and were frustrated with the limitations of our last practice management system.
We have now had Optix for 2 years and have never looked back. The functionality is far superior to anything else we looked at - the Direct Debit module is easy to use and Read more saves time and money processing payments, the Business Intelligence programme makes it easy to monitor sales and other KPIs and the ability to view both practices from either work or home is particularly useful.
The fact that there are no add-ons makes the programme intuitive rather than being clunky and encourages using Optix to its full potential.
The biggest plus about using Optix is the fantastic support team who go way above and beyond the call of duty to ensure a smooth introduction to Optix and then continue to provide first class support afterwards.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Optix - it will change your business!

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.

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.

Optix is a fantastic system that is the backbone of our practice. It has many sophisticated applications like the Direct Debit system and marketing function yet it is simple and intuitive to use. Whats-more the support staff are friendly and patient and really take on board your comments and Read more suggestions. It is a great system with great people behind it, that is constantly evolving and innovating. I couldn't be without it.
