Don’t miss HBI’s ophthalmology webinar on Monday Jan 19th

There is still time left to register to join HBI’s upcoming webinar, “Patient-driven trends in ophthalmology” taking place on January 19th, 2026 at 16:00 (GMT)!

Hosted within HBI’s Ophthalmology Community in partnership with German optical technology firm Zeiss, this session will examine how consumer-driven behaviour is influencing innovation, care models, and investment across ophthalmology.

Ophthalmology is one of the most exciting areas of healthcare services for private investors. Part of the reason for this is that there is so much scope for for-profit providers to help public health systems by offering more streamlined and higher-productivity surgery in an outpatient setting, rather than in public hospitals, particularly for cataracts.

But another big reason is that there is a huge and growing discretionary private pay segment, particularly for refractive laser eye surgeries which public systems typically don’t provide or fund.

Investing in the latest technology provides immense value in both these areas.

The webinar will include discussion of the evolving refractive and self-pay demand, how providers and manufacturers are responding to higher expectations, the growing role of AI in improving quality of care, and how shifts in payor mix may impact the future economics of the specialty.
