What Clinica Baviera does

Spanish-German chain of ophthalmology clinics specializing in laser vision correction, cataract and eye surgery.

Laser vision correction is mostly paid for out of pocket by patients, which makes that line behave like consumer spending; cataract and other eye surgery are paid in part by insurers or public systems. Results depend on patient volumes and on how many clinics operate.

In one line: A smaller, European vision-correction/cataract clinic chain.
