Optimax is a laser eye treatment specialist based in Birmingham, England, owned by Russell Keith Ambrose. Optimax was established as one of the first private clinics to offer laser eye surgery.[1]

Laser eye surgery in the UK is dominated by three main companies Optical Express, Ultralase and Optimax which, in total, account for approximately 56% of clinics in the UK.[2]

History

In 2002, Optimax performed their 100,000th laser eye surgery procedure.[3]

Optimax operates clinics throughout the UK, providing laser and lens eye surgery procedures.

Optimax advertise as being the first company to introduce Femtosecond laser, IntraLASIK and Schwind lasers.[4]

In December 2012 Russell Keith Ambrose acquired Ultralase Ltd.[5][6]

Under Eye Hospitals Group Limited, Ultralase Eye Clinics Limited is the sister company to Optimax, sharing clinics, surgeons, optometrists, and working as one family.[7][8]

In April 2014 Nominet dismissed a complaint by Optical Express that Russell Keith Ambrose had funded a website critical of Optical Express.[9] Its author, Sasha Rodoy, My Beautiful Eyes Foundation campaigner and Patient Advocate, underwent lasek eye surgery at Optimax in 2011, resulting in her eyes being irreparably damaged.[10]

On 27 November 2020, after claiming insolvency, Optimax Clinics Ltd entered a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) for four years.[11]
