A vision for growth

IN the healthcare sector, attention typically centres on the heavyweights, namely the private hospitals and pharmaceutical groups. Yet, smaller players in the eye care segment are quietly gaining ground.

Rising screen time, an ageing population and lifestyle-related eye issues are spurring demand for optical services and medical eye care. In response, companies such as Focus Point Holdings Bhd, Optimax Holdings Bhd, and Topvision Eye Specialist Bhd – the three listed players in Malaysia’s eye care segment – are scaling up and expanding into underserved areas to position for long-term growth.
