"Hi, I'm Joan Exford. I’m an optometrist in practice with Dr. Donald Korb and Dr. Victor Finnemore at a contact lens specialty practice in Boston. About two years ago, we began to use the OPTIMEYES multi-user version for Windows for our general practice management. It's been especially useful for us for handling our contact lens service agreements, which are a big part of our practice. We previously had an old-fashioned computer system."
We hadn't updated ourselves technologically until we got involved with OPTIMEYES about two years ago. And this new system has saved an enormous amount of time. It has helped us to become much better organized in our practice. Being rather computer illiterate, not staying on top of technology, I had some apprehension about getting into a new system. So, we carefully investigated all those that were available at the time. We decided to go with OPTIMEYES. [Our reasons included] the recommendation of Dr. Rodger Kame, a colleague in California who has been using the system for several years. OPTIMEYES has been easy for our staff to use all the while. It has been problem-free, and I recommend it for you and your optometric practice."
"I'm Jim Magay of Magay and Barron Opticians. I've been an OPTIMEYES user since 1992. We use it extensively in our practice for recalls, inventory control, and targeted marketing. It's made a great difference in our business. All of our full-time and part-time employees love it because it's easy to use, with a minimum of training. I like it very much because it can generate reports that help me run my business better. All in all, I think you ought to buy this program. It's a terrific, easy-to-use solution at a reasonable cost!"
"My name is Mindy Shwom, and I am the office manager for my husband, Dr. Irwin Shwom. We are in the private practice of optometry. We've had a software program in our office since about 1983. My roots are in software development, and I initially wrote our program, which was a flat, non-relational database. We could do billing, recalls, data capture for patients, and maintain a really nice and extensive contact lens file. The thing we couldn't do with our program was share the data. We were forever fighting, asking each other to please get out of the program because we needed to get into the patient's record. It got very frustrating and aggravating."
"By chance, an OPTIMEYES associate gave us a call and said he had a demo of OPTIMEYES, which we had heard about some years before. But, because our database was running so well we just never pursued it. They came to our office and within 30 seconds of looking at it I said stop this is the database you want to have. It was slick. It was quick. It could process all our patient records very quickly. It could still do recalls. It could do billing. It could do other functions that we didn't have such as inventory and we really thought that this was great."
"We subsequently purchased the program and we've been running it now for about 6 years. The scope and the breadth of the program is much more extensive than I had originally anticipated and it's wonderful. I would recommend this program to anybody in an optometric setting, whether it be an optometrist, an optician or staff. I think it's well worth the money and a wonderful product to use."
