What Cco - Clinica Catarinense De Olhos Ltda does

Clínica Catarinense de Olhos (CCO) is a private, multi-unit ophthalmology clinic network headquartered in Palhoça, Santa Catarina, Brazil, founded in 2012 and operating as a limited liability company (Ltda). The company describes itself as the largest ophthalmology clinic network in Greater Florianópolis, with 7 physical units distributed across Palhoça (2 units), São José (2 units), and Florianópolis (3 units). It serves individual consumers directly, offering comprehensive eye care spanning general consultations, advanced diagnostic examinations, and surgical procedures across the full ophthalmology subspecialty spectrum — cataract surgery (phacoemulsification/FACO with intraocular lens implantation), refractive surgery (LASIK, PRK, phakic lenses), glaucoma management (including Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty), retinal disease treatment (vitrectomy, retinal detachment repair, intravitreal anti-VEGF injections), pediatric ophthalmology through a dedicated CCO Kids unit, corneal disease treatment (keratoconus crosslinking, ring implants, corneal transplantation), oculoplastics, strabismus correction, dry eye therapy, and preventive checkups, plus weekend emergency/urgent care at the Dircksen unit.

The underlying technology layer is standard, modern ophthalmology clinical equipment rather than proprietary software — laser platforms for refractive and SLT procedures, ultrasound-based phacoemulsification systems, and contemporary diagnostic imaging. The clinic is medically led by Dr. Gabriel de Oliveira Puel (CREMESC 15.610, RQE 10.736) as technical director, with a multi-specialty physician team covering the service portfolio in-house. No external investors, parent company, or institutional ownership has been disclosed.

CCO operates a direct-to-consumer business model with no intermediaries. Patients book appointments through a third-party RealClinic online scheduling platform, WhatsApp, or phone, and the clinic accepts health insurance plans (convênios) for which it bills on a monthly cadence. Specific procedure pricing is not publicly disclosed. Marketing is conducted through an in-house blog covering eye health topics, Facebook and Instagram social media, email newsletter, and WhatsApp engagement. Patient volume signals (real-world testimonials) highlight pediatric care and general consultation experiences as core touchpoints. The company does not disclose revenue, employee count beyond the 11–50 range, or unit-level economics.
