St. Erik Eye Hospital was created in 1990 through the merger of three regional ophthalmology centres, thereby consolidating expertise and resources in order to provide patients with unsurpassed quality and ensure that the hospital offers every possible advantage in medical care.
Today, St. Erik is one of the largest eye specialist centres in the world.
St Erik Eye Hospital Ltd is wholly-owned by the Stockholm County Council. In 2000, it was the first hospital in Sweden to become environmentally certified according to EU guidelines.
