Optegra continues expansion

Optegra has acquired Memira's eye clinics in Munich and Stuttgart, Germany.

The move follows the firm's takeover of 23 of Lexum's European hospitals in the UK, Czech Republic, Germany and Poland. Optegra will continue to offer services in cataract, retinal, corneal, glaucoma and orbito-facial. Memira is a Scandinavian provider of refractive and intraocular eye surgery and will continue to expand in the Nordics.

Matthias Pertzsch, Optegra Germany Managing Director, noted, "This is an important step in our German expansion and we hope to continue to expand our national distribution further in 2013. We are actively looking for opportunities for partnership and acquisition of well-established, high-end existing ophthalmology practices."

"Combining the strength of professional medical competence with the structure, management expertise and marketing investment of Optegra will lead to lasting models of partnership between physicians and Optegra which ultimately benefit German patients."
