Founded in 2012, CHEC has worked in partnership with thousands of optometrists to deliver our shared care partnership model. We are now one of the largest providers of community-based ophthalmology services in the UK.

As a specialist provider of community ophthalmology, we are pleased to have built a reputation of high quality, patient-focused care that ensures we always remain responsive and considerate to the needs of our patients.

This model is underpinned by our dedicated clinical and non-clinical teams across the country who continue to serve our patients by providing excellent end to end care for every eye condition, as well as supporting the NHS.
