Optimism Health Group, the owners of OutsideClinic and VisionCall, has expanded its domiciliary eye care business with the acquisition of Care Opticians.

The brand will eventually come under the OutsideClinic name and expand OutsideClinic’s reach into new areas, such as Kent and East Anglia, where the company has historically found it difficult to recruit.
