We came to Optix from IRIS, the whole transfer process was smooth and cause surprisingly few worries. The system works very well, is stable and the knowledge that all of our data is safe and off site is invaluable when environment agency tell us that we are about to flood again!
The software is Read more very intuitive as shown by how little we have to use support, but when we do it's great that everyone knows your name, the practice and is enthusiastic and informative.
I would thoroughly recommend Optix especially if you are starting out in IT integration as the team are so helpful and the initial outlay is modest and transparent - there really are no hidden extras.

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.

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.

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.

I have been through several IT installs and Optix is far and above the best experience we have had, their service & support has been fabulous and Matthew & Anthony were brilliant at our installation and on-site training.
I have been simply amazed at how well the system works, but to be honest the Read more stand out feature for me is the Optix team; whoever we speak to is friendly, relaxed and helpful, they can always answer questions/fix problems so quickly that on the rare occasion I have had to call I can do this confidently between appointments with no break in the smooth flow of the clinic (at least not for IT issues anyhow...).
A whole world away from my last PMS provider who had an 8 hour response time and did not appear to understand the software they provided!
Very many thanks again - highly recommended to anyone in the market for a fabulous IT system for their practice(s).

We chose Optix because it has the most cutting edge system for communication with our Customers and the best Business Intelligence package on the market - allowing simple, instant access to the most important performance indicators that are critical to running our business. In truth though, we may Read more have chosen a different system if it wasn't for the excellent team behind Optix. They are focussed on their Customers, knowledgeable and never patronising when you ask a silly question. The ethos that runs through their business spreads from the top down and is reflected in everything that they do - delivering a valuable and constantly improving software system that helps you concentrate on what is important in your company.

Optix has enabled us to feel secure in our patient records and given us detailed knowledge of how the business is functioning on a daily basis. After nearly 30 years of running the business "by the seat of our pants" it has given us great peace of mind and a secure basis to grow the business. The Read more BI is a mine of information and Optix itself is constantly improving and actually listens to its client base and implements changes that are requested. Nothing is perfect but the guys at York try to deliver as near as damn it

As a long standing Optix Enterprise multi-site user it is not an exaggeration to say that it has positively transformed and enhanced the way we operate our business. Optix enables an invaluable overview of the business at all times, especially using the BI reporting.
Our adoption of the Direct Read more Debit System has provided marked improvements in terms of efficiency and flexibility with our regular payment plans also.
We have demonstrated Optix to several independent colleagues , many of them are now Optix users themselves. I honestly believe that Optix is the best Optical Practice Management System available.

I just want to say we should have had Optix software a long time ago, although since 2011 we have never looked back. The product and service are second to none. Our staff are happier and have more time to spend with our patients and customers.
Thanks again Trevor and team
