Our Story: Leading the Way in Eye Care
Optegra was founded in 2007 with a clear ambition: to make exceptional eye care more accessible while maintaining the highest standards of clinical excellence and patient experience.
From opening our first specialist eye hospital in Guildford in 2008, we have grown into an established network of dedicated eye hospitals and clinics across the UK and Europe. Today, the wider Optegra group includes 78 hospitals and clinics, supporting patients through every stage of their eye health journey. Use our clinic finder to find your nearest Optegra location.
Since our beginnings, we have helped more than a million patients improve their vision and regain confidence, independence and quality of life.
Why Patients Choose Optegra
At Optegra, eye care is all we do. Our singular focus on ophthalmology means every part of the patient journey is built around specialist expertise, advanced technology and personalised support.
We support both NHS and private patients, offering the same high standards of consultant-led care, personalised treatment plans and ongoing aftercare across all pathways.
Our consultant-led approach ensures each patient receives treatment tailored to their individual eye health, lifestyle and vision goals. Whether for cataract surgery, laser eye surgery, lens replacement or medical eye care, we are committed to delivering outstanding outcomes and five-star patient care.
Clinical Excellence and Accreditation
Our hospitals and clinics are regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) in the UK, giving patients confidence in the quality, safety and governance of their care.
We work closely with Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeons, specialist nurses, optometrists and NHS Trust partners to maintain rigorous clinical standards across every stage of treatment.
We continually review our clinical outcomes and patient feedback to ensure every patient receives the highest standard of care.
Our patients love Optegra!

The Making Of Champions
Laser eye surgery at Optegra was the difference between me being a good player and a world champion. What surprised me was how quick and painless the treatment was, and how quickly afterwards my vision became literally perfect.
