Optegra Maidstone is an independent clinic providing ophthalmology services in a community setting. It is operated by the provider Optegra UK Limited.
Optegra Maidstone was first registered in August 2022 and provides diagnostics, treatment, and follow-up services. The service provides NHS-funded ophthalmic services commissioned by the local Integrated Care Board (ICB), offering diagnostics, outpatient consultations, surgical treatments and follow‑up care. This includes cataract surgery (a short procedure to replace a cloudy lens with a clear artificial one), glaucoma management (a treatment that lowers eye pressure to protect vision) and Yttrium Aluminium Garnet (YAG) laser capsulotomy (a non‑incisional laser treatment used to clear clouding behind an artificial lens).
In addition to its NHS work, Optegra Maidstone - offers a private treatment option.
