Optegra Expands in Hampshire

optegra hospital

Optegra opened a new eye hospital in Hampshire next Wednesday as their latest move in what is becoming an impressive portfolio of growth since their first eye hospital opened in Guildford, Surrey in 2008.

The New hospital, based in Whiteley, Solent Eye Hospital will be the fourth private eye hospital in Optegra's expanding portfolio. They acquired two other hospitals - The Yorkshire Eye Hospital and Birmingham Eye Hospital (formally Aston University Day Hospital) - earlier this year, and have plans to open a fifth facility in Manchester in 2011.

 

Optegra has invested more than £2.2m on state-of-the-art surgical and diagnostic equipment for the Guildford hospital which is the only specialist private eye facility of its kind in the region.

19 consultant level ophthalmic surgeons will practise in the 13,000 sq ft facility, offering treatments for: vision correction, cataracts, glaucoma, retinal disease, age-related macular degeneration and cosmetic eye surgery.

 

Tim Clover, CEO of Optegra UK, said: "Our new Solent Eye Hospital in Hampshire is our latest centre of excellence in eye care. It will offer the most advanced facilities and the best surgeons to ensure delivery of the best clinical outcomes and outstanding results to the local population."
