Specsavers signs laser tie-up with Ultralase

Ultralase and Specsavers have announced a strategic partnership which will see Specsavers recommending patients interested in laser eye surgery to Ultralase for consultation.

The partnership will allow Specsavers to offer a support service for patients who decide to undergo laser eye treatment, with its staff receiving accreditation from Ultralase, following professional training, to deliver aftercare appointments.

Specsavers managing director John Perkins claimed the deal would offer an unparalleled level of choice and set a new professional standard in holistic eye care. 'We chose to partner with Ultralase after extensive analysis of the laser eye market over the last two years and having spoken with representatives of dozens of independent surgeons and major national providers of laser eye treatment,' he said.
