What Hospital De Olhos Niteroi does

Hospital de Olhos Niterói (HON) is a private, multi-unit ophthalmological hospital group headquartered in Icaraí, Niterói, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Founded in 1992 as Centro de Olhos Avenida Sete, it was the first dedicated ophthalmological hospital in the state of Rio de Janeiro and today operates 6 units across Niterói, São Gonçalo, and Maricá, supported by approximately 80 medical professionals covering the full range of ophthalmology subspecialties (pediatric, retina and vitreous, glaucoma, cornea, refractive, strabismus, and oculoplastics). In 2017 it became the first ophthalmologic hospital in Rio de Janeiro State to achieve ONA 3 (Acreditado com Excelência) accreditation and also holds ACSA International Nível Excelente accreditation, a European quality standard present in 26 countries.

The group's service portfolio spans ophthalmological consultations and diagnostic examinations (OCT, retinography, campimetry, biometry, gonioscopy, fluorescein angiography, ultrasonography, electroretinography), a full surgical line (cataract, vitreoretinal, antiglaucoma, corneal including transplants, refractive, and ocular plastic surgery), and device-based treatments including Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT), YAG-laser iridotomy and capsulotomy, and E-Eye IRPL pulsed-light therapy for dry eye. Adjacent assets include the Centro de Estudos Professor Adalmir Morterá Dantas (CEPAMD), an in-house research and continuing-education center inaugurated in 2004, and the Occhio Caffé on-site cafeteria.

HON's business model is direct-to-consumer professional services revenue, with patients accessing care via walk-in, phone, WhatsApp, or online appointment booking, and an online portal for exam results. Payment is accepted through Brazil's public health system (SUS), approximately 40+ private health insurance plans (convênios), and out-of-pocket fees. The group runs ongoing health awareness campaigns (Março Verde, Maio Verde, Junho Violeta, Agosto Cinza, Abril Marrom) and patient education events to drive demand, and the company is privately held with no disclosed parent company, external investors, or funding rounds.
