FYEO

What FYEO does

FYEO is a Dutch eye clinic chain specializing in refractive surgery, offering both laser eye surgery (ooglaseren) and lens implantation (lensimplantatie) to enable permanent vision correction and eliminate dependency on glasses or contact lenses. The company operates four laser modalities - ReLEx SMILE PRO, IntraLasik Femtosecond, TransPRK (no-touch), and Lasek - alongside three lens implantation options (ExtraLenzen phakic ICL, ReplaceLenzen/RLE, and Readon ReplaceLenzen monovision). Technology stack centers on femtosecond and excimer laser platforms and intraocular lens implant systems, with treatment recommendation determined by age, prescription range, and corneal suitability following a free comprehensive preliminary examination.

FYEO serves Dutch consumer patients segmented into three primary cohorts: adults under 40 suitable for laser surgery, adults 40-50 with emerging presbyopia, and adults over 50 for whom lens replacement is the primary modality. The company also serves elite athletes through a TeamNL Olympic sponsorship. The business model is direct-to-consumer with no B2B sales motion: patient acquisition flows through digital marketing (website, Google Ads, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn) to free preliminary examinations, then to quote-based all-inclusive procedure pricing with a lifetime warranty on retreatment for refractive changes. Revenue is generated primarily from one-time surgical procedures with recurring potential from aftercare, enhancements, and repeat prescriptions.

FYEO operates 15 owned clinic locations across the Netherlands (some sources cite 13), employs 51-100 people, and has completed over 80,000 procedures since founding. The company reported EUR 64 million in revenue as referenced in the EuroEyes International Eye Clinic acquisition announcement (pending closing as of Q4 2025). FYEO is affiliated with ZKN (Zelfstandige Klinieken Nederland) and holds Official Eye Care Supplier status for TeamNL.

Products and services

• ReLEx SMILE PRO
• IntraLasik (Femtosecond) Laser eye surgery using the flap method, where the cornea is lifted to allow laser correction. Suitable for patients aged 18–45 with prescriptions from -10 to +4.5 diopters.
• TransPRK (No-Touch) 100% laser-guided surface treatment in which the corneal epithelium is removed with a laser before vision correction. Known as the no-touch method, suitable for active lifestyles and patients who are not candidates for other laser techniques.
• Lasek Surface laser eye treatment in which the epithelium is loosened and removed before laser correction. Recovery takes 3–5 days and may involve initial sensitivity.
• ExtraLenzen (Voorzetlens / ICL) Implantable collamer lens (ICL) placed in front of the natural eye lens. Reversible alternative to laser eye surgery for patients with thin corneas, high prescriptions, or other contraindications to laser correction.
• ReplaceLenzen (Lensvervanging / RLE) Complete refractive lens exchange (RLE) in which the natural eye lens is removed and replaced with an artificial multifocal lens. Corrects near, intermediate, and far vision permanently, eliminates the need for glasses or contact lenses, and prevents future cataracts. Indicated primarily for patients over 45.
• Readon ReplaceLenzen Monovision lens replacement in which one eye receives a lens implant to correct presbyopia (near-vision difficulty) while the other eye retains distance vision. The second eye is treated in a later session, allowing patients to avoid reading glasses.
• Vooronderzoek (Preliminary Examination) Free preliminary examination including comprehensive eye measurements, structure evaluation, health assessment, and consultation with the treating ophthalmologist to determine suitability and recommend a personalized treatment.
• Nazorg & Controles (Aftercare & Check-ups) Post-treatment care consisting of scheduled follow-up appointments during the first year to monitor recovery, evaluate outcomes, and detect any complications after laser or lens surgery.
• Levenslange Garantie (Lifetime Warranty) Comprehensive warranty program covering retreatment for vision deterioration caused by refractive changes, valid for the lifetime of the organization (contingent on the patient attending all first-year check-ups).
