Optical Express has announced a US$12m (£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 (pictured) 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.
