A new home

Private eye hospital Optegra has entered into partnership with ophthalmology clinic Arnott Eye Associates.

Under the agreement, Harley Street-based Arnott Eye Associates will move into Optegra’s faculty, which is located on the same London street.

Established by Professor Eric Arnott more than 25 years ago and currently run by Richard Packard, services provided by the clinic will now be performed at Optegra Harley Street and by its staff.

Mr Packard will work with Optegra to help “expand and strengthen” its services to all sub-specialities of ophthalmology.

Speaking about the partnership, Director of Arnott Eye Associates, Mr Packard, said: “I have chosen Optegra as the new home for Arnott Eye Associates because I wanted it to practice in a new, fully equipped facility with people who wish to further develop our high-quality ophthalmology services for our current and future patients in the UK and around the world.”

Optegra group CEO, Robert Cirillo, added: “We are delighted to welcome Richard and Arnott Eye Associates as part of the Optegra family, and provide them with the best possible eye health care.”
