VersaSutie does intergrate with the Ziess Humphrey machine, it is elegant and it works. I saw a demo in a office last week. Has anyone heard anything else about VersaSuite?

Please believe me when I say consider yourself lucky your upgrade to 6.0 has been put on the back burner until next year. Our office received the upgrade back in July of this year and it has been very unpleasant to say the least. Both staff members and doctors have found it lacking, and yes tech support has been slow in responding to all requests. Also, the VSP integration is terrible. Nothing works right. This is a disappointment to us because we really thought this company would be better then our last software company, which it was until the upgrade.

I have been told by Maximeyes that I would be able to upgrade our software system to a new version that they have out now. I believe this is version 6.0. However, in spite of my hopes to have been upgraded this year to version 6.0, during which time I have kept my yearly annual fees current (to the tune of over 2400 dollars a year), they are now telling me that I cannot upgrade to this new version until next year. This has come as a great disappointment since we have been told since 2004 that the upgrade is almost ready and they never delivered on the promise. I can honestly say that myself and a few of my acquaintences who are using Maximeyes are seriously looking at other software packages that may fit our needs. As a side note, I know of two practices that did get to upgrade this year to version 6.0 and they said that it sometimes took weeks to get a reply from their techs who handle the upgrades. Hardly a good indication of what I could expect next year when, or IF, they ever re-release version 6.0.

Apparently the Maximeyes 800x600 display is only a minimum requirement. (Please see a comment left by the CEO of First Insight.) I think it should be a little more clear on their specs sheet, for example say the word "minimum."

Never mind what I said about contact lens re-order. Apparently major contact lens distributers already can do this for you. (See Optometric Management)
Still, the billing software would have to integrate with contact lens ordering for the managed care patients.

Another feature I want is the ability to give to patients a CD-ROM with a read-only copy of every test and chart note. Of course, the patient will have to complete a chart request form which would be signed on a digital pen like at the check-out stand of a big box store.
