betterview: seventh laser eye clinic and launch to London

The young Swiss company betterview has had an interesting summer. This week, it opened a clinic in Chur, where - as at its other six locations - laser treatments are offered at a fixed price. In addition, the startup has ventured abroad and founded betterview Britain Ltd. The first clinic is scheduled to open in London in the second quarter of 2024. The company is currently looking for suitable premises and recruiting medical staff.

"We evaluated various markets and came to the conclusion that London is the right place to continue the betterview success story," says co-founder Rouven Mayer about the choice. "The market situation is comparable to that in Switzerland and there is no provider with the same concept yet. Accordingly, we are confident that our offer will also be well received in the UK." The company plans to offer the same services in London as in Switzerland. In addition, a whole network of clinics is also to be set up there in the future.

Double-digit million sales and self-supporting clinics

Since its foundation in spring 2022, the demand for betterview laser eye treatments has been very high. The clinics are already economically self-sustaining and in the first business year sales in the double-digit million range were generated. Co-founder David Holenstein: "The expansion of the clinic network is demand-driven through and through. In Zurich, we are now even experiencing capacity bottlenecks, which is why we are moving to a much larger location at the end of the year." At Bahnhofplatz 1, and thus in a prime location in the center of Zurich, a "betterview flagship" is being built on around 250m2. The previous premises will not be abandoned, however, but converted. An operating theater is being built there to enable lens treatments to be covered in-house in the future.
