OE shares clinical data with laser eye sector

Optical Express has revealed its working practices to its refractive surgery competitors in a supplement published in the July edition of the Journal of Refractive Surgery.

Released with the intention of helping the refractive surgery industry as a whole, the supplement contains articles detailing Optical Express' practices, research outcomes, patient satisfaction, biostatistical analysis and patient selection methods.

Medical director for Optical Express, Steve Schallhorn, told Optician: 'We've laid open our doors like no other provider has. We've explained what our clinical model is, how we deal with the rare cases where we have patients who have problems, how we manage those problems, our outcomes, what patients think about our procedures and how we can employ continuous improvement to get even better results.'
