Bordeaux Eye Clinic

What Bordeaux Eye Clinic does

Clinique des Yeux Bordeaux is a private, founder-led ophthalmology group founded in 1990 by Professor Françoise Lagoutte and Doctors Di Battista and Fritsch, headquartered in Floirac in the Gironde department of Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France. The group operates four surgical centers (Floirac/Aréna, Bordeaux Saint-Augustin, Libourne, Langon) and three city cabinets (Bègles, Cenon, Saint-Aubin-de-Médoc), served by a team of 11+ specialist ophthalmologists covering retina, cornea, glaucoma, pediatric ophthalmology, refractive surgery, and oculoplasty. Services are organized into three internal "poles" — Pôle Vision (general consultations, refraction, contact lenses), Pôle Rétine (medical and surgical retina including DMLA, diabetic retinopathy, IVT injections), and Pôle Spécialités (cataract, glaucoma, refractive surgery LASIK/PKR/SMILE, corneal transplant) — with additional offerings in oculoplasty, pediatric ophthalmology, laser treatments, and aesthetic eyelid/facial procedures.

The underlying technology stack is conventional high-end ophthalmology equipment rather than a proprietary platform, including peroperative OCT integrated into surgical microscopes, excimer and femtosecond-class lasers for refractive surgery, OCT and visual field diagnostics, and intravitreal injection capability. The business model is predominantly fee-for-service healthcare delivered direct-to-consumer, with patients booking via Doctolib or directly; revenue is split between CPAM-reimbursed procedures (consultations, cataract, medically necessary retina care, partial coverage for functional blepharoplasty) and self-pay elective procedures (refractive surgery, aesthetic blepharoplasty, botox, hyaluronic acid) priced by quote. Customer segments are fragmented individual patients across five use cases: general eye care, surgical ophthalmology, pediatric, retina, and aesthetic/oculoplasty. The group has no parent company, no PE/VC backing, no public listing, and no disclosed revenue, and operates as an independent regional medical practice with active participation in ophthalmology congresses (EYexperts, RAP Congress) and organization of its own biennial IRV (In Retina Veritas) congress.
