Contact details, insurance details where applicable, and what procedures performed if any, but no additional clinical information) Clinical data held by the company is accessible by Edward Lee (Consultant Ophthalmologist) and Selina Galliers (Medical Secretary) only. Insurers intermittently ask for clinical information for selected patients who care they are paying for. This is shared with the company if it has been established that the patient’s permission has been sought (usually by the insurer)
