History

Established in 1991.

Optimax was established in 1991 by Russell Ambrose who read about pioneering Laser Eye Surgery in a woman’s magazine and wanted to have it done himself but found it largely unavailable in the UK. Foreseeing the potential success for the treatment, he contacted the American manufacturers of the Excimer laser used at the time and bought one with a view to opening his own clinic. Managing to find nine friends to join him, Optimax was launched in 1991 to significant media interest, with Ambrose as the company’s very first patient.
