Intro

Welcome to Sanoptis - a leading network of modern eye clinics and ophthalmology practices with over 400 locations throughout Europe. Our vision is to improve the well-being and quality of life through first-class ophthalmologic treatment across the board. Our innovative decentralized model enables our partner locations to operate independently in order to focus on the individual needs of their patients. At the same time, they are part of a larger network with strong partners, which gives them synergy effects, state-of-the-art technology and many other benefits.
