What HOC - Hospital de Olhos de Cuiabá does

HOC - Hospital de Olhos de Cuiabá is a private ophthalmology hospital located in Cuiabá, Mato Grosso, Brazil, founded in 1994 by Dr. Orivaldo Amancio Nunes Filho. The hospital operates a 2,500 m2 facility comprising 17 consultation rooms, 5 surgical theaters, and 10 specialized examination rooms, delivering a comprehensive range of eye care services including outpatient consultations across multiple specialties (general ophthalmology, cataract, glaucoma, retina, cornea, strabismus, pediatric ophthalmology), advanced diagnostic examinations (OCT, Pentacam, biometry, retinography), and surgical procedures (cataract extraction, LASIK/SMILE refractive surgery, vitrectomy, corneal transplants, strabismus correction, oculoplasty). The hospital also operates the Banco de Olhos de Mato Grosso, the only eye bank in the state, authorized by the Ministry of Health to capture, store, and distribute corneas, with over 1,600 transplants performed since 2007.HOC's core technology stack consists of advanced ophthalmic diagnostic and surgical equipment, including the first VISUMAX (SMILE) laser in Latin America, the Nidek EC5000 Excimer Laser, Femtosecond Laser, IOL Master 700 for biometry, Pentacam for corneal tomography, and OCT for retinal imaging. The hospital holds multiple "firsts" in Brazilian ophthalmology: pioneering refractive surgery with Excimer Laser in four states, first VISUMAX SMILE procedure in Latin America, first artificial cornea surgeries (Ceratoprosthesis) in Brazil, and first cultivated limbal cell transplants in Mato Grosso. The founder is internationally recognized with memberships in the American Academy of Ophthalmology, European Academy of Ophthalmology, and Brazilian Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, and has published chapters in international ophthalmology textbooks.Revenue is generated through four primary streams: professional fees for consultations, diagnostic examinations, and surgical procedures (predominantly reimbursed via health insurance plans including Bradesco Saude, SulAmerica, Cassi, Fusex, and MT Saude), plus hardware/product revenue from contact lens fitting and specialty lens sales. The go-to-market model is direct-to-consumer, with appointments booked online via the hospital's website, by phone, or via WhatsApp. Patient acquisition is driven by reputation, physician expertise, and network affiliations with the Vision One group. In 2025, HOC became part of Vision One, Brazil's largest ophthalmology hospital network, joining 20+ member institutions across multiple states for cross-referrals and collaborative excellence. The hospital serves as a regional referral center for corneal transplantation, extending service reach across Mato Grosso, Rondonia, Acre, and Amazonas.
