Altomed

Altomed is a private UK ophthalmology-focused medical device company that manufactures and distributes surgical instruments, single-use devices, implants, lenses, consumables, liquids, gases, stains, dyes, sterilisation trays, and training simulators for eye care professionals. Founded in 1976, the company describes itself as the UK’s largest independent supplier to the surgical ophthalmology sector and serves NHS, private healthcare, and educational customers. Its product portfolio spans major ophthalmic subspecialties including cataract, retina, cornea, glaucoma, oculoplastic, paediatrics, accident and emergency, and oncology. In addition to its own branded products, Altomed acts as an authorized UK distributor for several global ophthalmic brands. The business is a commercial-stage medtech supplier rather than a drug-development biotech company.
