Optomed

What Optomed does

Optomed (legal name OPTOMED; trading as "Centrum Okulistyki dla Dzieci i Dorosłych Optomed") is a private ophthalmology medical practice founded in 1992 and headquartered in Chorzów, Poland. It operates two clinic locations (Chorzów headquarters and Augustów), following the 2025 closure of its Siedlce center, and serves pediatric and adult patients across the Silesia region and northeastern Poland. Its service offering spans the full ophthalmology value chain: diagnostics (OCT with GDx/HRT, PENTACAM corneal topography, visual field, fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, ultrasound), medical and surgical treatments (cataract phacoemulsification with premium IOLs, Cross-Linking, INTACS, vitrectomy, retinal laser therapy, glaucoma surgery, corneal transplants, tear duct procedures, eyelid and tumor surgery), vision correction (refractive surgery, phakic lenses, orthokeratology, contact lens fitting, vision therapy, VIVID Vision VR therapy for amblyopia/strabismus), retinal disease management (AMD, diabetic macular edema with anti-VEGF), and 3D-printed eye prosthetics via its in-house Eye Prosthetics Laboratory.

The business model is direct-to-consumer healthcare delivery with B2B supplementary streams. Revenue is generated through fee-for-service consultations, diagnostic packages (e.g., full exam at 375 PLN, glaucoma package at 425 PLN), surgical procedures, optical retail (prescription glasses, contact lenses, low-vision aids), subscription VIVID HOME VR therapy packages (3-month at 1,707 PLN, annual at 7,300 PLN), and B2B services including surgical room/office rentals and occupational health examinations. Patients access services via an online registration portal, phone, or email, with installment financing offered through Medi Raty. Marketing is conducted through a content-rich website, social media (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram), email newsletters, and Polish physician review platforms (ZnanyLekarz.pl, RankingLekarzy.pl).

Technology infrastructure relies on tier-one ophthalmic equipment suppliers (Zeiss, Topcon, Alcon, Heidelberg) and a Vivid Vision VR partnership for amblyopia/strabismus therapy. The practice is physician-led under Dr. Piotr Jaworski with a team of specialists including Prof. Stanisława Gierek-Ciaciura and FEBO-certified ophthalmologists, with EU grant funding cited as a capital source. No funding rounds, acquisitions, or external institutional investment are disclosed.
