FYEO
Exit 2026
From one clinic in Eersel to market leader with 15 locations in the Netherlands.
Starting point
When Committed Capital acquired a majority stake in 2018, FYEO Medical, with around 40 employees, was already the largest clinic for uninsured refractive surgery in the Netherlands. Founder Paul Holtmann had built a distinctive concept over sixteen years. The next phase of growth required a stronger team, more capacity and expansion to new locations.
What we did together
- Built a professional management team, with Rens Schoenmakers as CEO. Founder Paul Holtmann stayed involved as advisor.
- Invested in capacity to increase the number of treatments.
- Buy-and-build: the acquisition of Vision Ooglaseren in 2020 and of the Worldeye clinic in Amsterdam in 2021.
- Expanded from a single clinic to a nationwide network.
Result
FYEO grew into a national player and market leader with 15 locations in the Netherlands. Growth went hand in hand with holding on to the three core values that have defined FYEO from day one: honesty, comfort and the best result. In 2026 FYEO was sold to EuroEyes, allowing it to continue its mission on an international scale.
Together with Committed Capital we built a Champions League team and a professional organisation. That was the foundation on which FYEO achieved tremendous growth, with Committed as a key partner.
