Optical Express has announced an £8.1m investment in 'next generation' laser eye surgery technology. Three-quarters of the financial investment will be spent in its UK-based laser refractive clinics.

This latest investment will see all 44 Optical Express laser treatment clinics across the UK and Europe installing state-of-the-art iFS 150 femtosecond laser systems during 2010, reinforcing its aim to develop the highest quality science-based products and services.

Group chairman and CEO David Moulsdale said: "This level of investment is testament to our on-going commitment to ensuring that our patients get the very best visual outcomes in the safest manner possible. As a result of the investment, we are able to confirm that even more of our patients will achieve better than 20/20 vision."

The equipment, designed to improve LASIK flap creation, will give a customised laser eye treatment for patients which is claimed to be safer, faster and will deliver improved outcomes.

Steve Schallhorn, chief medical director for Optical Express said: "We remain at the forefront of technological innovation and through continuous investment we are dedicated to achieving the best clinical outcomes while leading the delivery of world class care.

"This latest investment further enhances our reputation as the world leader in laser eye surgery. I am delighted to be able to offer all our patients in the UK and Europe iFS 150 technology as I know that it the very best available in the world today."
